METHOD OF REINFORCING AND WATERPROOFING A PAVED SURFACE

摘要

In a method of reinforcing and waterproofing a paved surface, a layer of liquefied asphalt (12) is applied on a paved surface (10). A reinforcement mat (14) is applied over the liquefied asphalt. The reinforcement mat is a nonwoven mat produced from fibers having a melting point above about 320~F (160~C), and selected from mineral fibers such as glass fibers, polymer fibers, or mixtures thereof. The liquefied asphalt penetrates and soaks the reinforcement mat to form a water barrier. A layer of paving material (20) is applied over the reinforcement mat.
