A paving system for paving or flooring includes a top layer of a plurality of paving elements, and an underlayment support layer of a polymeric material configured into panels. The panels are suitable to support the paving elements, the panels having a generally planar support surface.

The present invention concerns a roadway widening structure (1) comprising: a first portion (10) intended to bear on a support intended to support a first portion of the roadway, and a cantilevered second portion (20) secured to the first portion by a lateral wall (18, 25) and intended to support a second portion of the roadway.

The field of application of the present invention relates to the best practices that can be adopted in the construction of roads. also taking into particular consideration the fact that not only the road surface needs adequate consolidation, as it is normally done, but also the docks. In fact, the roadside must be considered part of the road system, and its characteristics have a great influence on the overall road safety. In particular, the road system according to the invention provides that, before laying the asphalt surface. a reticular mesh structure is laid over the road surface made up of material with good tensile strength and this reticular structure is designed to cover the entire roadbed from side to side in its Width, and to protrude significantly beyond the area in which it is envisaged to lay the asphalt, so that, once the asphalt has been laid, said reticular structure protrudes from the asphalted roadway so as to cover, at least in part, even the roadside. Furthermore, said reticular structure, in its edges, which, after installation, run parallel to the edge of the road, and externally to the paved site, is designed to facilitate the firm coupling of other elements of the road system. Said reticular mesh structure 300 is retained by the overlying road surface 210, but not only. In fact, since it envelops the entire strip of the elevated ground on which the road is built, it allows the entire mass of terrain on which the entire road system is built to collaborate in the overall resistance. It is thus proposed a road system in which parts that have historically been conceived in a substantially autonomous way (ground substrate platform, paving, and safety barriers) collaborate synergistically in the creation of a safe road system as a whole.

A land area can be improved to support a geotextile having nonwoven top and bottom layers, and a geogrid core. The top layer defining at least one parking space, such that land areas of various sizes can be covered to form parking lots with rain-draining features.

An underlayment layer is configured to support an artificial turf assembly. The underlayment layer comprises a core with a top side and a bottom side. The top side has a plurality of spaced apart, upwardly oriented projections that define channels suitable for fluid flow along the top side of the core when the underlayment layer is positioned beneath an overlying artificial turf assembly.

A flexible mat system, including a plurality of base platforms, each respective base platform having a first pattern of phase transforming columns and voids extending from a respective flat member, and a plurality of plane-engaging runway platforms, each respective plane-engaging runway platform having a second, reversed pattern of phase transforming columns and voids extending from a respective flat member such that each respective plane-engaging runway platform is lockingly engagable to a respective base platform to yield a landing segment with parallel top and bottom flat members. Each respective base platform is an aluminum/steel composite. Each respective phase transforming column is further comprised of a plurality of stacked operationally connected phase transforming cellular members. Each respective cell further comprises six hexagonally spaced support members defining six hexagonally arrayed sides, with two opposing sides define x-shaped struts extending between adjacent support members. Remaining sides define parallel struts extending between adjacent support members. Each respective phase transforming cellular member can shift from a first stable configuration to a second stable configuration in response to an applied load.

A support product configured to receive poured concrete, the support product comprising a latticework of walls and a plurality of edges, wherein the walls extend between a lower surface and an upper surface and define a plurality of cells, wherein at least one edge comprises a catch and a partial keyway, wherein the catch is configured to connect with a catch of an adjacent support product to restrain relative movement of connected support products, and wherein the partial keyway is configured to be located adjacent to a partial keyway of a connected support product, so that adjacent partial keyways define a complete keyway between connected support products.

A method of paving a road including mixing soil beneath a location onto which the road will be paved with water, a coarse aggregate crushing waste (CACW) and cement in the form of a powder to form prepared soil and paving over the prepared soil to form a paved road. Furthermore, the prepared soil includes 5 to 20 wt. % of the CACW, and 0.1 to 5 wt. % of the cement, based on the total weight of the soil. Moreover, the prepared soil has a maximum dry density of at least 2.2 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm.sup.3) and an unconfined compression strength of at least 1100 kilopascals (kPa).
