Abstract (en)

A method of rehabilitation of roads damaged by reflective cracking is described. The method comprises the welding onto the damaged pavement a prefabricated sheet, having a thickness of at least 0.5 mm, which consists of an upper and lower layer of polymer-modified bitumen. The two layers are separated by a stress relieving reinforced elastic membrane which is characterized by an elongation of between 30% to 70% and tensile strength of at least 5 kg/cm. The polymer used to modify the bitumen is selected from a thermoplastic rubber, such as styrene-butadiene-styrene, polypropylene and polyethylene and the preferred amount is in the range of between 4% to 10% by weight of the bitumen. The welding of the prefabricated sheet onto the damaged road is preferably carried out by torching out. The preferred thickness of the prefabricated sheet is in the range of between 3 to 5 mm.
