Undesirable damage caused by these loads can occur. This study discusses the geogrids used to strengthen highway layers. Using the probability density functions obtained from the experimental results, damage probability tables were created for highway layers reinforced with geogrids. Vertical pressure distribution according to traffic loads, tire configuration and layer thickness was examined by field and laboratory tests. Within the scope of the study, five types of geogrids were used for experimental and analytical studies. Damage estimation can be made for any road reinforced with different geogrid types with the damage probability table obtained as a result of this study.}, number={2}
