Effectiveness of Glass Fiber Mesh Reinforcement Applied to Road Construction Located in a Mining Subsidence Area

Abstract

Local district roads represent low technological regime when it comes to rehabilitation treatments. Analysed road is located in a mining subsidence area in Upper Silesia in Poland. Glass fibre mesh interlayer reinforcement had been tested numerous times at different roads. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of applied reinforcement for road located in a mining subsidence area. Evaluation was performed by determining a state of cracking indicator in accordance with visual-method of pavement surface evaluation. Results shows high effectiveness of applied reinforcement. Further researches are recommended.
