Application guide and specifications for geotextiles in roadway applications

Description: Abstract: "Geotextiles, one among the different geosynthetic products, can be used for a number of functions or applications in pavement design. The benefits of using geotextiles in pavements and other transportation applications have triggered a proliferation of products. While this abundance of new products has led to reduction in costs, it has also made it difficult for TxDOT personnel to choose appropriate products based on their engineering properties. Consequently, this report provides th… more

CAM Mix Design With Local Aggregates

Description: "This study provides revised mix design recommendations for crack attenuating mixtures (CAM) with local aggregates. The use of lower quality aggregates is cost beneficial but limits the application of these mixes in terms of reduced performance. Aggregate guidelines and aggregate quality criteria are provided to enhance the rutting and cracking performance of these mixes. The mix design recommendations as well as aggregate guidelines and quality criteria provided in the report are based on la… more
