Abstract

To combat permanent deformation in flexible road pavements and extend lifespan while reducing maintenance costs, an investigated solution "Corrugated Geogrid and Geocell Reinforced Flexible Pavement Base Design" is proposed. It enhances durability by improving inter-layer bonding and increasing the friction coefficient with a Corrugated Imminent Hexagonal Composite Geogrid, boosting pavement bearing capacity. The necessity of this research is the integration of corrugated geogrids and geocells into the design of flexible pavement, in conjunction with a comprehensive evaluation of interlayer shear performance, effectively tackles a range of engineering obstacles and enhances the pavement system's durability, stability, and affordability. Geogrid's corrugated structure resists shoving, offers stabilization, and, combined with Fusion Geoblanket and Perforated Geocell, prevents potholes. Typically, geocellular brace parts are utilized in civil engineering and technical applications, and they are frequently connected to geocellular systems or geocells. These systems are frequently employed in the building of retaining walls, slope protection, erosion control, and soil stabilization. The intended use and product design influence the installation procedures and specific functioning approach. The proposed model prevents permanent pavement failures, ensuring durability, low maintenance, and improved lifespan, assessed through Finite Element Analysis. Thus, the proposed method develops a layout for flexible pavement that's going to prolong its life expectancy and prevent long-term deformation failure.
