Resumo:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior of geogrid reinforced asphalt mixtures. Initially tests were planned to be executed on a physical model, however, this tests had to be stopped due to structural problems. Samples were extracted from the physical model and samples were shaped through gyratory compaction, both for analyze the mechanical laboratory tests. Tensile Resistance (Brazilian Test), Resilient Modulus, Fatigue (controlled load) and Disk-Shaped Compact Tension Geometry Tests were carried out in extracted and shaped samples, without reinforcement and with the reinforcement of two geogrid types (fiberglass and polyester). The reinforcement improved the mechanical behavior of asphalt mixtures, with the trend of greater resistance to fracture, and this was evidenced by Disk-Shaped Compact Tension Geometry Tests, where the final criterion of the test was not reached (reduction of the applied load of 0.10 kN). The influence of geogrid is better for lower applied stress levels according with the Fatigue Tests. This condition allows the geogrid to deform for a long period, witch is essential for the performance as an element for delay crack propagation. There was a significant improvement in the results obtained with the reinforced samples, for both geogrids studied, but the polyester geogrid reached better results when compared to fiberglass geogrid.
