No. Geogrid strength does not correlate to in-ground performance, which has been demonstrated in multiple studies (Watts et al., 2004 & Giroud & Han, 2006). The ability of the geogrid to interlock and confine the aggregate subjected to traffic loading is fundamental to deliver enhanced performance of the mechanically stabilized layer (MSL). This enhanced performance can only be measured through full-scale in-ground trafficking testing. Geogrid characteristics such as rib shape, aperture shape, polymer type and material structure configuration, rib thickness, in-plane stiffness, junction shape, geogrid-aggregate compatibility and many other factors are contributors to the amount of interlock and confinement achieved, and therefore, enhanced performance of the MSL.
