Use of APT for validating the efficiency of reinforcement grids in asphalt pavements
Reinforcement of flexible asphalt pavements with interlayer systems containing grids is increasingly used to extend service life of roads. Typically, reinforcements are placed between layers. They can be utilized to prevent the propagation of reflective cracking, prolonging the service life of aspha...

Reinforcement of flexible asphalt pavements with interlayer systems containing grids is increasingly used to extend service life of roads. Typically, reinforcements are placed between layers.

However, only few tests were done using Accelerated Paving Testing (APT), where the application of loads is carried out with controlled passing of truck tires.
