Webinar: Unpaved Roads with Naue UnpavedRoad – modified GH

Efficient calculation of base course thicknesses for unpaved roads with the new online calculator

With increasingly complex demands on construction projects, engineers need efficient and precise planning tools. Our new tool provides exactly that. Engineers and planners can use it to calculate foundation concepts for temporary access roads or haul roads. By creating optimised, efficient, and safe designs, it improves the performance of unbound base courses and reduces project costs.

Note: The UnpavedRoad Calculator is part of the software offerings in the Naue Portal, available worldwide 24/7 at no cost, and providing comprehensive planning support.

About the webinar:

In this webinar, we will present the new “Naue UnpavedRoad – modified GH” calculator, an innovative tool for designing and planning base courses with geosynthetics. Learn why a design method inspired by Giroud & Han (2004) is recommended and how this method, combined with the product-specific performance characteristics of Secugrid® and Combigrid® geogrids, quickly provides well-founded design proposals.

Content:

  • Introduction to the Naue Portal

  • Explanation of the Giroud & Han method and its adaptation

  • Live demonstration of the tool and its functions

  • Application examples and calculation examples for temporary access roads and haul roads

  • Discussion and questions

Your benefit:

  • Efficient planning: Use the intuitive interface to quickly reach initial design proposals.

  • Cost savings: Determine the overall savings through the use of geosynthetics.

  • Reliability: Learn how the stabilisation, reinforcement, and separation functions of geogrid combinations improve your projects.

  • Flexibility: Use the tool on mobile or desktop to simulate different solutions and scenarios in minutes.
