Adaption of the Kaufman and Ault method for mining haul road design using extruded polypropylene geogrids

The present work proposes an adaptation of the Kaufman and Ault methodology for the design of mining unpaved roads, incorporating the effects of reinforcement with multidirectional polypropylene geogrids. Based on experimental results reported by Adams et al., which indicate an apparent improvement in the CBR index due...
