Research Regarding the Use of Geo-Synthetics to Consolidate the Forest Roads’ Roadway

Abstract

Within the present paper the uses of geosynthetics for the consolidation of carriageable forest roads from the Sfantu Gheorghe Forestry Department are presented. In the case of Pava and Hanko III roads, the use of geogrids located at different structure levels of the road system was experimented; the experiments from Husaus road involved the possibilities of using geotextiles and geocellules. References related to the execution technology, costs and behavior of the experimental road sections under traffic conditions are pointed out.
