7 September 2010 – TenCate Geosynthetics North America introduces internet-based MiraSpec Design Solutions Software, an easy-to-use software program that will assist engineers in flexible pavement design while demonstrating the many benefits of using TenCate Mirafi® RS580i woven reinforcement & stabilization geotextile in roadway structures.
The new software program, MiraSpec Design Solutions Software, will allow pavement designers to perform AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) flexible pavement Structural Number (SN) design calculations, either with or without geosynthetics. In addition, the designer will be able to calculate the cost savings and green savings the use of TenCate Mirafi® RS580i will provide in the design.
