SYNOPSIS

Past decades witnessed tremendous development of road reinforcing technology on asphalt pavement. Polymer-impregnated glass fibre grid has outperformed to reinforce asphaltic surface layers by retarding distresses. The grid grants additional strength and viscoelastic properties into pavement, resulting in longer road life. The talk highlights global cases of how the grid integrates product elements, installation considerations, and performance outcomes. The general conclusion is an innovative paving design and structure embedded grid satisfying with local road conditions.
