The asphalt paving industry faces mounting pressure to improve sustainability while maintaining performance. This session will explore how incorporating fibers into asphalt mixtures provides a promising solution for both environmental and functional enhancements in road construction.
The asphalt paving industry faces mounting pressure to improve sustainability while maintaining performance. This session will explore how incorporating fibers into asphalt mixtures provides a promising solution for both environmental and functional enhancements in road construction.Traditionally, asphalt relies on natural aggregates and petroleum-derived binders, which contribute to high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In response, the industry is seeking innovations to extend pavement lifespan, reduce resource consumption, and minimize maintenance.Fibers such as cellulose, glass, polyester, and synthetic polymers are increasingly used to reinforce asphalt mixtures. These fibers improve mechanical properties, reduce cracking, rutting, and deformation, and enhance load-bearing capacity. By extending the lifespan of roads, fiber-reinforced asphalt decreases the frequency of repaving, optimizes material use, and improves recyclability.The session will include case studies demonstrating measurable improvements in road performance and reductions in carbon footprint. Incorporating fibers into asphalt paving not only enhances durability but also contributes to sustainable construction practices, making it a key component in the pursuit of greener infrastructure.
