The major distress types in the domestic asphalt pavement are fatigue cracking, reflection cracking, thermal cracking, and rutting. To decrease the pavement distress by reinforcing asphalt pavement with reinforcement interlayer in geosynthetics to the traditional pavement systems can improve these problems. This study conducted laboratory test with asphalt pavement reinforced by glass fiber sheet to fix systematically geosynthetic asphalt pavement system. Laboratory tests like wheel tracking test and crack resistance test are conducted to analyze the controlling effect of glass fiber sheet on cracking and rutting of asphalt pavement.

Even though a lot of laboratory and field tests for asphalt pavements using geosynthetics have been conducted recently, any rational and systematic analysis for the economic efficiency of the asphalt pavement systems reinforced by using geosynthetics has not been proposed yet. In this study, the economic analysis considering the traffic characteristics for the glass fiber sheet reinforced asphalt pavement was performed using the Life Cycle Cost Analysis(LCCA) which is commonly used for the economic analysis technique. The economic efficiency for the glass fiber sheet reinforcement and the traffic characteristics was examined by applying the test results from the literature review to the economic analysis model.

This paper presents the performance evaluation of asphalt pavement reinforced with fiber sheet type of geosynthetics and observations conducted to evaluate the practical efficiencies and performance of overlay asphalt pavement reinforced with geosynthetics. In this study, performance evaluation were performed for the six section of construction site. The performance indcators of asphalt pavement reinforced with geosynthetics has been collected Automatic Road Analyzer (ARAN), Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) and have been analyzed for rutting, cracking ratio, falling weight and international roughness index. As a result of performance evaluations, geosynthetics reinforced asphalt pavement is sigficant effect on increasing a cracking resistance than the non-reinfroced asphalt pavement, also rutting and crak is slowly increase as incerasingly performance period.
