The study of innovative pavements is of significant importance in geotechnical engineering in Brazil, due to the continued need to increase the network of roadways. This requires optimized projects, not only for economic, but also for technical reasons. Technical solutions that use geosynthetics in asphalt overlays have been identified to minimize fatigue and reflective cracks. However, the majority of the application of this technology has ignored the possible additional structural benefits brought by the inclusion of geosynthetics as reinforcement in asphalt layers. The objective of this research is to assess the reinforcement benefits of geogrids placed within asphalt overlays on the structural performance of flexible pavements. In addit...
