Abstract
AbstractPaving geotextiles are becoming increasingly used in highway construction overlays in order to recover cracked asphalt pavements. In antireflective cracking systems, the geosynthetic should have the ability to absorb and retain the asphalt tack coat to effectively bond the system to the existing pavement and overlay. However, the type and rate of tack coat impregnation can significantly influence the reinforcement mechanism, potentially leading to early overlay failure. Stiffness has been identified as the governing property to quantify the potential contribution of the interlayer to the asphalt overlay strength. In addition, the overall behavior of reinforced asphalt pavements may also be incorporated with an increased tensile strength of the geosynthetic. With the purpose of quantifying the often significant changes in the mechanical behavior of paving geosynthetics that occur after bitumen impregnation, a series of tensile strength tests were conducted in this study using nonwoven geotextiles w...
