A Structural Reinforcement Layer with Woodchips Used on Forest Roads

Original language description

Described biotechnical measures focus on the use of woodchips in the formation of a structural reinforcement layer on forest roads in the places with high levels of groundwater. These are often short sections of roads which can thus block off entire forests. In history, these sections were overcome using corduroy roads. Currently, there are tendencies to revive the biotechnical technology and replace logs used for corduroy roads with woodchips. This study investigates the possible reinforcement of a waterlogged section using woodchips in a forest road of multifunctional character, which serves for cycling as well as timber transport. In total, three different types of reinforcement were constructed using woodchips in combination with geotextile and crushed stone. The reinforcement was tested by common operations using a timber extraction tractor with tandem axle trailer. The modulus of deformation was measured on the surface and the deformation characteristics of the layer were determined. Subsequently, the shape of the reinforcement cross-section was surveyed. The results have shown that, even with very low modulus of deformation values, the shape of the reinforcement cross-section does not change statistically in two types of the reinforcement technology. These two types of reinforcement can be successfully used for forest roads that perform the recreational function or for timber transport by tractor. The main advantages are that renewable material is used and no extraction and moving of the ground occur during its production.
