TRI performs road base and asphalt reinforcement testing to characterize the improved performance of geosynthetic systems over traditional non-geosynthetic systems.

• Bench scale static and dynamic loading of reinforced road base structures

• Bench scale static and dynamic loading of reinforced asphalt structures

• Asphalt retention testing

• Confinement testing of geosynthretic reinforcement in road base courses
