atio (TRB) at the same pavement thickness reaching the same surface permanent deformation <strong>of</strong><br />
25 mm at the center. Table 4.10 shows that the geocell-reinforced base sections have the TBR<br />
values <strong>of</strong> 10 <strong>and</strong> 12.5 for 15 <strong>and</strong> 30 cm thick RAP base sections. This result demonstrates the<br />
benefit <strong>of</strong> geocell confinement <strong>of</strong> RAP bases.<br />
