A well connected road network is one of the basic infrastructure requirements which play a vital role for the fast and comfortable movement of inter-regional traffic in our country. This research paper presents a design procedure for predicting the thickness of base course layer for geosynthetic reinforced road systems. The design method developed takes into consideration the worst type of natural subgrade soil, usually in the form of soft, saturated clays exhibiting low values of cohesion under undrained conditions. This research also gives the base course thickness for very weak subgrade soils which have CBR value less than 2 %. The research aims at providing an effective design procedure based on simple laboratory evaluation of equivalent CBR of the composite layered system namely, the geotextile sandwiched between the base course material and the soft subgrade soil.
