Design of Flexible pavement using IITPAVE as per IRC-37-2018 and minimize the pavement thickness by using Geogrid

Abstract

The main purpose of the designing the Flexible pavement with Geogrid is to reduce the thickness of pavement layer thicknesses by providing the geosynthetics on base or subbase courses. With this analysis using relevant Indian road congress (IRC) standards we may reduce the bituminous layer thickness or overall pavement thickness of roads and highways having high traffic volume compared to the conventional method as per IRC 37. Key Words: Geogrid, IITPAVE, Flexible Pavement, Geosynthetics, IRC 37, Highways.
