Article
Full-text available
Limited research exists on the benefits of using geogrids to reinforce portland cement concrete structural and nonstructural members. Concrete pavement overlay is one application in which the use of geogrids can potentially enhance performance and in which the use of reinforcing steel bars is subject to various constraints and limitations. Prelimin...
Article
Full-text available
The implementation of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-E PDG) in regions outside the United States and Canada, such as the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA), is still in its early stages due to the scarcity of the design input data required for its use at high reliability levels. Several studies have been carried out to p...

Conference Paper
Full-text available
The new mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (M-EPDG) delivers a state-of-the-art and practice design procedure that eliminates the AASHTO 1993 empirical design procedure deficiencies. Huge advances with respect to traffic inputs, materials characterization and environmental impacts are integrated in its performance prediction methodology. H...

Limited research exists on the benefits of using geogrids to reinforce Portland cement concrete structural and non-structural members. Preliminary research findings have shown that the inclusion of geogrids in Portland cement concrete leads to a definitive improvement in the post-cracking behavior in terms of ductility, load capacity, and crack pro...
