One of the most common challenges for road and rail foundation design is the efficient construction over soft soils. For the past thirty years, designs using geosynthetics to stabilize soft soils have relied on empirical methods based on the observation of a narrow sets of test data. The Lees Approach to Applied Mechanical Stabilization (LAAMS) is based on years of rigorous research and development published in peer-reviewed journals. Best of all, designers can gain more precision in determining the performance of a mechanically stabilized layer (MSL) with geogrid.
Learn about this powerful, performance-based design method for unpaved haul roads and railroad foundations from the originator of these methods, Dr Andrew Lees. These methods have been implemented into the free Tensar+ design software so that precise designs can be undertaken for road and rail with the benefit of mechanical stabilization by Tensar InterAx geogrid.
In this webinar we will highlight:
- Undertake performance-based designs of unpaved/haul roads and railroad foundations.
- Explain the concept of mobilized bearing capacity as a predictor of permanent deformation.
- Apply empirical functions for the prediction of shakedown deformation in subgrade and aggregate base layers.
