Abstract

Utilizing one of the most effective new technologies is the primary goal of this research, which uses a combination of bituminous surfacing materials with geotextile reinforcement sheets, to improve the behavior of asphalt mixes and fatigue reduction. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of woven geotextile upon fatigue characteristics of hot mix asphalt mixtures. In order to improve the tensile qualities of the asphalt pavement, the experimental program for this study includes the application of geotextile within the wearing layer. Marshall fatigue and stability tests were carried out. Four-point bending test in a strain-controlled mode was adopted in this study. Three micro strain levels (250, 400, 750) at a frequency of 5 Hz were used. The findings demonstrated that unreinforced mixtures have a shorter fatigue life than wearing layers reinforced with geotextile. Additionally, exposure to different temperatures (5, 20, 30°C) showed that the performance of the geotextile interlayer system in cold environments is inferior to that of those in warm and moderate climates. The analyzed geotextile has a positive impact on the performance of the pavement and a large potential to extend the life of the pavement as a whole, according to the obtained results of fatigue life.

1 Introduction

Constructing a pavement with a long life cycle is the main goal of road engineers. However, in many cases, the road pavement can be subjected to different distresses, the main issue with flexible pavement roads, can be related to several factors including hot summer temperatures, heavy truck axle loads, design techniques, pavement construction materials, compaction, and testing technologies. The most common causes of pavement distress cracks are rutting beneath tire tracks and fatigue loading [1]. Many previous researchers have made improvements to the asphalt mixture to improve the performance properties of flexible paving and prolong the service life of the road. Several studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship between the fatigue life of asphalt mixtures and several factors such as temperature and asphalt content. One such study found that when control strain is used, the fatigue life has a positive correlation with both temperature and asphalt content. The study also showed that the highest results were obtained with a modified mixture of styrene-butadiene and styrene, at a concentration of 2%. This resulted in an average increase of 120% in the percent of fatigue life [2]. Additionally, to enhance the performance of recycled asphalt mixtures, microsilica was added [3]. It was found that carbon fibers can be added to dense-graded asphalt concrete mixtures to improve their mechanical and electrical qualities [4]. Moreover, it improved permeable asphalt pavement by adding crumb rubber waste [5]. One of the methods to face fatigue distress is using geosynthetics. When installed in the layers of pavement, geosynthetics can significantly improve the structure and performance. In pavement construction, geosynthetics are utilized for a variety of purposes, including drainage, filtration, subgrade stabilization, base reinforcement, and asphalt reinforcement. However, some geosynthetic materials can serve many purposes in a pavement layer, and similarly, different geosynthetic materials frequently serve the same purpose [6]. Geosynthetics can offer long-term benefits and enhance the performance of the road over its design life, even in situations where the stabilizing application is largely chosen for initial construction [7]. A geosynthetic placed for one of the several roadway applications may increase pavement life, decrease construction costs, and reduce required aggregate thickness. Geotextiles and geogrid are among the two types of geosynthetics which are widely used in pavement. Ivanov et al. [8] looked into how the strength and strain characteristics of materials used in road building changed depending on how much dynamic loads oscillated. The design of the road structure and the materials used determine how strong the soil subgrade is. The study concludes that geosynthetic materials improve road construction’s performance under stress and strain. The effectiveness of geotextile sheets as a filtration and separation layer for reducing the migration of subgrade particles is assessed by Kermani et al. [9]. The results of the study show that subgrade pumping was significantly decreased when the geotextile was placed at the interface between the subgrade and subbase [10]. In pavement applications, geocells, geotextiles, and geogrids – common geosynthetic materials – were utilized. This is because they are successful in producing the desired results. An overview of experimental field studies on geosynthetic reinforcement for flexible pavement construction carried out by various researchers was given by [11]. Numerous parameters, such as base course, subgrade stiffness, thickness, quality, hot-mixed asphalt thickness and quality, and geosynthetic stiffness and position, have been found to influence the effectiveness of geosynthetic reinforcement. Also, SS2 type of geogrid was utilized to apply geogrid reinforcement at the base-subgrade interface [12]. Use geotextile to reduce rutting in the flexible pavement in southern Iraq [13]. The findings demonstrated that the use of geosynthetic reinforcing materials can lessen the permanent distortion of pavement construction.

Despite the availability of previous studies, the knowledge regarding using geotextile as reinforcement in terms of tensile properties is still limited. From this point, the need for this research is raised to investigate the fatigue life of wearing a course reinforced with a geotextile sheet within the layer.

2.2 Program tests

2.2.1 Marshall test

In this study, 15 samples for the Marshall test were prepared. The Marshall test method was utilized to establish the optimal asphalt content of asphalt concrete mixtures for wearing Layer utilizing five different percentages of asphalt contents (4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6%). The average asphalt content at maximum unit weight, at maximum stability, and 4% voids in the total mix was calculated in order to determine the optimum asphalt content. The optimum of binder content is (4.9%). The specified restrictions of the SCRB specification are confirmed by taking into account additional parameters like flow, VMA, and VFA. Figure 2 shows the samples of Marshall and Marshall test apparatus.

2.2.2 Fatigue test

In accordance with AASHTO PP2, the asphalt-aggregate mixture was aged in a short-term oven at 135°C for 4 h. In order to prevent the outer side of the mixture from aging more quickly than the interior side due to greater air exposure, the asphalt concrete mix was stirred every 30 min throughout the short-term aging phase before being cast in a heated slab mould. Samples were produced with the ideal amount of asphalt components. The hot-aged asphalt concrete loose mix was used to construct a slab that measured (400 mm × 300 mm × 50 mm) in size. A static load of 5 kN was applied to the wearing course’s binder. Figure 3 illustrates the Fatigue setup test for beams [14]. In accordance with ASTM (2009), before cutting (400 mm × 50 mm × 50 mm) beam specimens out of the compacted slab, it was allowed to cool overnight. Two groups of the ready beams were divided: the control mix, which was made without any additives, and the modified asphalt concrete, which was made using the previously discussed modification approaches. The flexural fatigue beam test determines the susceptivity of asphalt pavement to crack under repetitive, severe traffic pressure. AASHTO T 321 (2010) protocol was followed in order to ascertain the Fatigue Life of Compacted Hot-Mix Asphalt Subjected to Repeated Flexural Bending. The fatigue life was determined at test temperatures of 5, 20, and 30°C, at strain levels of 750, 400, and 250, and at a frequency of 5 Hz. Figure 4 shows experimental work.

3 Result and discussion

Figure 5 shows the results of fatigue testing with the addition of geotextiles. Adding geotextiles increases the fatigue life and improves the bearing capacity of the asphalt mixture and the service life of the paving. At a temperature of 20°C, by adding geotextiles with 250, 400, and 750 micro strain, the fatigue life increased. The increase was less at 750 micro strain. This suggests that material strength can be effectively mobilized through bonding, which can help improve the performance of the material, even if it has good mechanical qualities similar to paving fabric. Geotextile reinforcement also plays a crucial role in reducing fatigue, which in turn extends the service life of the road. Additionally, the influence of geotextile on crack growth is less in low temperatures than in normal temperatures. When the depth of the upper asphalt is thin, the flexural tensile strain of asphalt is smaller, and the beam sustains damage more quickly at a temperature of 5°C. So when a geotextile layer is added to the wearing layer, it offers less fatigue than an unreinforced layer. Geotextiles can be used to improve the fatigue life of flexible pavement in both directions. They can help disperse applied stresses more evenly across the pavement structure, reducing localized stress concentrations. By slowing down the occurrence and spread of cracks, geotextiles can increase the pavement’s fatigue life. In addition, they can increase pavement stability by minimizing surface deformation and preserving the integrity of the pavement over time. Geotextiles can also serve as a drainage layer, allowing an overabundance of moisture to escape from the pavement structure. By doing so, it may be possible to prevent moisture-related damage, such as freeze-thaw cycles, from deteriorating the pavement layers. Including geotextiles can thus help prolong the pavement’s fatigue life by mitigating the damage caused by moisture.

4 Conclusion

The findings of this study include the following:

  • When a geotextile layer is added to the wearing layer, it offers less fatigue than an unreinforced layer.

  • The fatigue life increases by 46, 52, and 31%, respectively, when the temperature is 20°C and the models are subjected to 250, 400, and 750 μs.

  • However, if there is a 5°C drop in temperature, the fatigue life decreases by 33% at 250 µs, 61% at 400 µs, and 26% at 750 µs.

  • On the other hand, when the temperature is increased to 30°C, the fatigue life of the asphalt mixture increases by 32, 4, and 22%, respectively, at different micro strain levels of 250, 400, and 750.

  • When the temperature significantly decreases, the ability of the asphalt mixture to deform greatly decreases as well. This may cause the asphalt layer to experience significant shrinkage tensile stress and strain, which can ultimately lead to cracking.

It is recommended to use geotextile reinforcement while building flexible pavement layers, especially in hot regions of Iraq with heavy truck axle loads and using proper design strategies and construction materials to reduce fatigue-related permanent deformations. The maintenance procedures for the flexible pavement are also minimized as a result of utilizing this approach. It is noteworthy that the impact of adding geotextile to the flexible pavement on fatigue life might differ significantly based on various aspects, including the type of geotextile utilized, the building method, and the particular environmental circumstances. To guarantee the pavement structure’s best performance and extended lifespan, it is imperative to take these variables into account and carry out a full engineering analysis. Through the study, it was found that placing geotextiles within one layer gives good results, and we recommend using this for practical applications on the site.
