Installation Damage of a Geogrid Employed for Stabilization in a Mining Area
Geogrids are widely present in mining areas, performing diverse functions in several situations where the geosynthetic is subjected to compaction efforts during installation. Installation damage is one of the factors that can reduce the geosynthetic characteristics and affect the available properties. Therefore, the results of analyses considering actual field conditions are necessary to evaluate the damage influence and to guide product selection, mainly because installation damage is one of the most complex degradation factors to simulate in the laboratory. The paper presents an analysis of installation damage degradation of a geogrid employed to perform a stabilization function on an unpaved access road designed for ore transportation by off-road trucks. A geogrid sample, placed between a 15 cm base layer and a geotextile acting as a separator, was submitted to compaction under actual field conditions. The control and damaged samples were evaluated in the laboratory by visual and microscopy analyses and mechanical tests. Visual analysis indicated the removal of the coating on both faces of the damaged sample, sliding of nodes (3%), and minor damage in the ribs. The microscopy analysis indicates a significant number of small particles between the filaments due to coating removal. Mechanical tests show reduction factors varying from 1.01 to 1.09 for the secant tensile stiffness modulus and equal to 1.13 for the Aperture Stability Modulus.

Sustainable Use of Ornamental Rock Waste in Pavement Layers
Objective: This study aims to assess the technical and environmental feasibility of using ornamental rock processing waste (RBRO) as an alternative material in road pavement layers. Theoretical framework: The research is based on the principles of circular economy and sustainability, in line with the National Solid Waste Policy and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It highlights the potential for reusing industrial waste generated on a large scale by the ornamental stone sector, especially in Espírito Santo. Method: Samples of RBRO and soil were collected from licensed sources. The mixtures were prepared in different proportions (10% to 100% RBRO) and subjected to hazard testing, geotechnical characterization, and mechanical performance testing, including compaction, California bearing ratio (CBR), and expansion, in accordance with DNIT standards. Results and discussion: Mixtures with up to 30% RBRO met the technical criteria for use in sub-bases. The proportion of 70% soil and 30% RBRO showed the best performance (CBR of 20.2% and expansion of 0.45%), indicating technical feasibility and environmental benefits. Research implications: The results contribute to reducing the exploitation of deposits, valuing waste, and adopting sustainable practices in road infrastructure, with potential for application in public policy and technical innovation. Originality/Value: The originality of the study lies in the application of an abundant and underutilized waste with potential for large-scale use in the area of paving.
