Concrete based reinforced road structure covered by asphalt that comprises a basic layer (1) made of concrete with a substantially horizontal upper surface and placed directly or through a subconstruction on the ground and at least one mould cover layer (2) thereon made of asphalt, and support elements (3) positioned between the basic layer (1) and the cover layer (2), wherein the support elements (3) are inserted in a predetermined depth in the basic layer (1) prior to the setting thereof so that they are partially projecting out of the basic layer (1) in normal direction to the upper surface, and the projecting portion provides protection to the cover layer (2) against being displaced relative to the basic layer (1) under loads to which the road is exposed, and the support elements (3) are flat stripes with walls being substantially normal to the surface of the basic layer (1) and comprising subsequent sections with differing directions to form respective meandering lines.

The present invention is directed to an asphalt paving system comprising an asphalt paving machine, a plurality of dispensing shafts, and a roll of pavement reinforcing membrane. The asphalt paving machine comprising a hopper, a screed, and support tracks. The plurality of dispensing shafts are mounted on the asphalt paving machine. Each roll of pavement reinforcing membrane is supported by at least one of the plurality of dispensing shafts. The plurality of mounted membrane dispensing shafts dispense the pavement reinforcing membrane continuously beneath the asphalt paving machine as the asphalt paving moves forward.

An economical, permanent construction of traffic surfaces that does not require an extensive use of resources and that is cost-effective to produce, and in particular that of protecting the parts of the bound and unbound layers of the traffic surface construction that lie beneath the surface layer of the carriageway from the ingress of water. A construction comprising at least one base layer, at least one asphalt surface layer and at least one intermediate layer applied to the at least one base layer, said at least one intermediate layer comprising a material that contains at least one silane-terminated polymer.

A permeable pavement system including a permeable pavement composition and a related method are provided. The permeable pavement system includes a first layer of a permeable pavement composition including a quantity of a first permeable pavement material and a quantity of cured carbon fiber composite material (CCFCM) incorporated therewith, the first layer defining a first surface; and a second layer of a second permeable pavement material deposited over a substantial entirety of and covering the first surface of the first layer of the permeable pavement composition, wherein the first layer interfaces with the second layer to at least strengthen the permeable pavement system.

Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of woven geotextile fabrics. In exemplary embodiments, a geotextile has a high water flow rate, such as a water flow rate of at least 125 gallons per minute per square foot, etc.

A method of installing an asphalt pavement, which method involves: identifying a surface to be paved; applying a non-tracking layer of binder composition to the surface; and permitting the application of an asphalt layer over the non-tracking layer of binder composition. The binder composition consists essentially of: at least one asphalt binder; at least one elastomer; and ethylene bis stearamide. In a further embodiment the binder composition consists essentially of: at least one asphalt binder; at least one elastomer; sulfur; and ethylene bis stearamide. The composition is applied as a tack coat and/or a stress absorbing membrane interlayer and is non-tracking.
