Large-scale laboratory box tests and a full-scale traffic test were performed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center to evaluate the performance of geosynthetic reinforced aggregate road sections constructed with marginal base materials over a typical subgrade. The large-scale laboratory testing and full-scale test section included eight different instrumented aggregate road sections including three different aggregate base materials and two different geosynthetics. Mechanistic analyses of each pavement section were conducted using linear elastic, nonlinear elastic, and nonlinear anisotropic models to predict the critical pavement response parameters. The analyses show that mechanistic tools can be effectively used to estimate the critical pavement response parameters for unpaved roads.
