The concept is used in civil engineering, geotechnics, road construction and materials science.
In geotechnical and pavement applications, forsterkningslag commonly refers to geotextiles, geogrids, steel meshes or fiber layers
Design considerations include material selection, orientation and placement of the layer, bonding or interfacial adhesion, environmental
