Abstract
Influence of traffic load on the performance of geosynthetics in reinforced expressway embankment was investigated at the embankment used as a detour of the main line construction section. Strains of geosynthetics were measured throughout the construction of the embankment and the effects of traffic load were monitored for three months. At the end of project, the geosynthetics were recovered from the detour embankment and their strengths were checked.
