Evaluation of anti-reflective cracking systems using geosynthetics in the interlayer zone

Experimental study of the behaviour of different geosynthetics as anti-reflective cracking systems using a combined-load fatigue test

“…In addition, Virgili et al (2009) andFerrotti et al (2012) using the same test (4PB) also found that geogrids increased the fatigue resistance of bi-layer specimens retarding crack propagation. Furthermore, Zamora- Barraza et al (2011), apart from studying the increase on durability produced with geosynthetics, compared the behaviour of different antireflective cracking systems using a dynamic test. These authors found that all the geosynthetics delayed crack propagation, and that the geogrids with a higher modulus showed a better performance and provided higher resistance to deformations.…”

The use of elastic elements in railway tracks: A state of the art review

“…geogrids, etc.) which are not only intended to reduce vibrations and stress on components, but are also used as track reinforcement in the same sense that elements like geogrid are employed in other infrastructures [47]. However, the most commonly used devices are rail pads, under-sleeper pads, and under-ballast mats, which can distribute loads and reduce the noise emissions and vibrations stemming from the movement of rails, sleepers, and ballast, whilst at the same time mitigate the impact of these elements on each other [45,48].…”

Simulación numérica de una mezcla asfáltica usando MEF y diseño de experimentos

“…Este modelo se usa típicamente en superficies de respuesta DoE con curvatura esperada, y no incluye el término de interacción de tres formas pero añade tres términos más al modelo lineal, a saber: (26) Claramente, un modelo completo incluiría muchos términos con productos cruzados (o interacciones) implicando al cuadrado. Sin embargo, en general estos términos no son necesarios y, en este análisis DoE, estos términos se dejan fuera del modelo.…”
