Similar to the laboratory studies, a 40 cm-wide ballast shoulder was implemented in the test track. The geogrid used in these tests was 4 m wide, and it was spread out along the required lengths as mentioned previously. Fig. 8 demonstrates the different parts of the test track along with the location of geogrids.
