This group is a dedicated space for geotechnical, pavement, and civil engineers to discuss the design, installation, and performance of geosynthetics in pavements as described below. While covering all pavement geosynthetics, this group has a specialized focus on asphalt reinforcement technologies (geogrids, geotextiles, composites) to mitigate fatigue cracking, reflective cracking and extend pavement life.

1. Asphalt Reinforcement

• Mitigating reflective cracking
• Geogrids vs. geotextiles vs. composites
• Tack coat optimization and bonding performance
• Milling, reclamation, and recycling of reinforced asphalt overlays

2. Base & Subgrade Stabilization

• Subgrade improvement and soft soil stabilization
• Aggregate base reduction and cost savings
• Long-term rutting prevention and permanent deformation control

3. Case Studies & Field Results

• Real-world project success stories and case histories
• Forensic engineering and lessons learned from field failures
• Long-term performance data and life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA)

4. Design Standards & Testing

• Navigating AASHTO, ASTM, IS and EN standards
• Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) pavement design integration
• Laboratory testing methods for geosynthetic-reinforced asphalt (e.g., wheel tracking, overlay tests)
