Geocell is a type of three-dimensional honeycomb geosynthetics that is widely used to improve thex000D
performance of paved and unpaved roads by reinforcing the base/subbase courses. It has numerous advantagesx000D
such as improvement of long-term performance of roadways, reduction of construction cost, and reduction ofx000D
carbon footprint. Although geocell has been widely used in roadway construction in cold climatic regions,x000D
research regarding the behavior of geocell-reinforced bases subjected to freeze-thaw cycles is rather scarce. Ax000D
good understanding of the effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the performance of geocell-reinforced bases is vitalx000D
to the design and construction of roadways. This project will help Stratum Logics get insight into thex000D
mechanisms of geocell reinforcement in roadways under freeze-thaw effects and improve the design method tox000D
ensure the serviceability of roadways in Canada.
