What is Asphalt Geogrid and What Are Its Applications?

The rehabilitation and reinforcement problems of roadways are a common issue faced by many countries, ranging from developing nations to advanced countries with long-established road networks.

Research shows that roads require rehabilitation sooner than anticipated, and these cracks and damages lead to increased operation and maintenance costs, disrupting transportation.
