SYNOPSIS
The growing demand for durable and cost-effective road infrastructure has led to significant advancements in pavement design. One such innovation is the use of mechanical stabilisation techniques to enhance pavement performance and extend service life.
In this webinar, we will discuss how mechanical stabilisation is proven in research and incorporated into AASHTO flexible pavement design to optimise road performance. And provide insights into the benefits of mechanically stabilised layers (MSL), the role of geosynthetics in pavement stabilisation, and the latest methodologies for reducing material usage while improving pavement performance.
