Abstract

Geogrids applied to reinforce natural airfield pavements are polymer cellular geosynthetics with a spatial, permeable honeycomb structure. Geogrid is used to increase the safety of air operations by improving the load-bearing capacity of unreinforced airfield pavements. Laboratory tests of the applied plastic were one of the stages of verifying the efficiency of the suggested geogrid. Conducted tests showed that the used plastic is useful in manufacturing a geogrid. A geogrid neither deteriorates nor wears after applying a specific load thanks to its high durability properties. The load-bearing capacity of natural airfield pavements reinforced with a plastic geogrid improved by approximately 20%.
