Due to the high safety requirements and number of operations that an airport pavement demands, it is necessary to establish a maintenance frequency, including the reinforcement of the asphalt layer, to guarantee adequate comfort and operating conditions for aircraft.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Mateca\u00f1a airport, in order to perform reliable and durable maintenance, a geogrid was implemented. FORTGRID ASPHALT<\/strong><\/a> in the routine maintenance work carried out in 2024. This reinforcement of the asphalt layer is proposed to control the reflection of existing cracks in the existing structure towards the new asphalt overlay, extending the intervals between periodic maintenance as shown in Figure 1, thus increasing the useful life of the structure.<\/p>\n

The geogrid FORTGRID ASPHALT<\/strong> <\/a>reinforces the bottom plane of the new asphalt overlay, allowing direct contact of the materials through their openings, thus structurally binding and reinforcing the asphalt layers. This effect redirects the shear stress path and distributes the stress over a larger mass of material, as shown in Figure 2.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their higher resistance to cyclic loading and lower damage during installation allow significantly extended service life periods compared to fiberglass geogrids while retaining their mechanical competence until the end of service life. In addition, their balance between open area and strength offers a high shear strength at the interface, which ensures that the expected results are achieved.<\/p>\n

They can be installed on any type of surface, as long as the adherence of the geogrid is guaranteed. For this purpose, the amount of bonding agent is determined by means of an in situ adhesion test, varying the amount of asphalt binder. Generally, in the case of fast-breaking asphalt emulsions, the breaking time and the optimum dosage is determined, which will be the one with a tear-off strength greater than or equal to 5.0 kg\/m2 .2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
