The purpose of this project is to determine whether any of various uses of geotechnical
fabrics and fibers will significantly retard reflective crack formation in an asphaltic concrete
overlay. Four paving fabrics, one fiberized-asphalt membrane and one fiber-reinforced
asphaltic concrete are the treatment alternatives being evaluated. All treatments are being
compared with each other and control sections without treatment to determine relative
performance, considering construction and maintenance costs, ease of placement or …
