【 摘 要 】

Technological developments in highway construction should not only result in durable, safe and cost-effective solutions for roads and pavements but also, and perhaps above all, lead to solutions that minimise the negative impact of construction on the environment. One of the ways to ensure these requirements are met is to apply technology using geosynthetics. This paper discusses the stabilisation of aggregate with hexagonal geogrids and the benefits - from the point of view of reducing the emission of harmful gases to the atmosphere - which can be realised from this approach, compared with traditional approaches. Solutions for the improvement of weak subgrades and optimisation of the entire pavement structure are discussed, along with the presentation of sample calculations of greenhouse gas emissions, carried out with the use of specialized software related to the construction of the structures in various technologies.
