This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth exploration of the latest technologies and methodologies for enhancing the stability and durability of pavement subgrades. By understanding the principles of subgrade improvement and strengthening, professionals can effectively minimize pavement failures, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of streets and pavements.

Chapter 1: The Role of Pavement Subgrades

Importance of subgrades in pavement performance
Factors influencing subgrade behavior (soil type, moisture content, compaction)
Common subgrade problems (weakness, instability, drainage issues)

Chapter 2: Subgrade Improvement Techniques

Mechanical stabilization (compaction, densification, soil modification)
Chemical stabilization (lime, cement, fly ash)
Geosynthetic reinforcement (geotextiles, geogrids, geofoams)

Chapter 3: Pavement Strengthening Methods

Asphalt overlay (thin lifts, open-graded mixes, rubberized asphalt)
Concrete overlay (rigid overlays, continuously reinforced concrete pavements)
Cold in-place recycling (repaving existing pavement with additives)

Chapter 4: Pavement Rehabilitation and Maintenance

Assessment of pavement condition (visual inspections, NDT testing)
Preventive maintenance (sealcoating, crack sealing)
Corrective maintenance (patching, pothole repairs)

Chapter 5: Case Studies and Best Practices

Examples of successful subgrade improvement and pavement strengthening projects
Innovative technologies and techniques
Recommendations for maximizing pavement performance and longevity

This guide is an indispensable resource for:

Pavement engineers and designers
Contractors specializing in pavement construction and maintenance
Municipalities responsible for managing pavement infrastructure
Students and researchers in the field of pavement engineering

By leveraging the knowledge and expertise presented in this comprehensive guide, professionals can make informed decisions about pavement subgrade improvement and strengthening strategies, ensuring the durability and performance of streets and pavements for years to come.
