Praxisorientierte Wirkungsvergleiche biegesteifer/biegeschlaffer Geokunststoffe im Erd- und Straßenbau unter Berücksichtigung der Schwingungsausbreitung auf der Halbraumoberfläche

Use of geosynthetics in unbound layers of roads and trafficked areas indicates significant improvement of system properties as documented by intense research. Up to now shielding effects of vibrations in a geosynthetic reinforced system have not been taken uder consideration. Hence the amplitude decrease on a half-space surface was investigated. Considerable increase of the load bearing capacity result from reinforcement of unbound, granular, layers in a static system. In contrast to the use of geosynthetics shows no appreciable impact on the shielding of vibrations within the tests.
