Abstract :

This paper focuses on the design of Water Bound Macadam (WBM) roads utilizing geocell technology. WBM roads are commonly used in areas where pavement construction materials are limited. Geocells are cellular confinement systems made from high-density polyethylene that are placed beneath the road surface to improve load distribution and stability. The study begins with an overview of WBM road construction and the challenges associated with traditional methods, such as poor load-bearing capacity and susceptibility to erosion. It then introduces geocells as a solution to enhance the performance and longevity of WBM roads. Using practical engineering principles and geotechnical analysis, the paper outlines the design process for incorporating geocells into WBM road construction. Factors such as soil properties, traffic loadings, and environmental conditions are considered to determine the optimal placement and configuration of geocells within the road structure. Furthermore, the study discusses the benefits of using geocells in WBM road design, including improved load distribution, reduce drutting and deformation, and increased resistance to erosion and moisture ingress. These advantages contribute to the overall durability and performance of the road, especially in areas prone to heavy traffic or adverse weather conditions.
