Definitions
- This invention relates to reinforcing roadways with a prefabricated reinforcing composite, and primarily to reinforcing asphaltic conrete overlays on Portland concrete or other underlying pavements to prevent cracks and other defects, which had previously appeared in the underlying pavement, from reappearing in the overlay. Thermal expansion or contraction is the primary cause of such cracks in the underlayment reappearing in the overlay. This phenomena is generally referred to as "reflective" cracks.
- the prefabricated reinforcing composite is a resin-impregnated, semi-rigid, open grid of continuous fiberglass filaments. The crosswise and lengthwise intersections of the grid are stitched together or otherwise fixedly connected.
- the underlying pavement is coated with an asphaltic tack-coat; the semi-rigid, open grid of this invention is then unrolled over the tack-coat; and an asphaltic mixture overlay is applied.
- Composites of asphaltic materials and fiberglass have shown superior resistance to reflective cracking and other defects.
- U.S. Patent No. 2,115,667 of Ellis (1937) refers to the use of flexible, woven, tape-like strips or ribbons of fiberglass, 1/2" to 1" wide, which are interwoven at right angles to produce a netting with openings ranging from one to three inches square. These interwoven, flexible tapes are laid on a bed of asphalt and tied together at their intersections by means of wire staples. Another layer of molten asphalt is laid on top of the tapes, followed by crushed stone and a top coat of asphalt.
- the art has_also used narrow strips (4 to 44 inches wide) of a loosely woven fabric made of flexible fiberglass roving (weighing 24 ounces per square yard) in the repair of cracks in pavement. These are not impregnated with resin, and do not have grid-like openings. They are laid down on top of a tack coat, followed by application of asphaltic concrete, but they are too expensive and too flexible to be practical to lay over substantial portions of a roadway and, because of their flexibility, like the unimpregnated structures of Ellis, would be difficult to handle if installed over substantial portions of a road where they could be subjected-to traffic from paving vehicles and personnel as the overlayment is put down. Also the lack of adhesion between underlayment and overlying layers is a problem because of the essentially closed nature of the fabric.
- a tack coat of emulsified asphalt, liquid asphalt, or hot asphalt may be applied to bind the underlying layer of pavement, which may or may not be asphalt based, to a layer of asphalt mixture pavement.
- An asphaltic mixture, typically consisting of hot mix, or hot laid asphaltic concrete may then be laid down continuously using paving ⁇ -equipment designed for the purpose.
- a prefabricated resin impregnated, semi-rigid, open grid of continuous filament fiberglass strands is placed on top of the tack coat and thereafter buried and imbedded in the roadway under the asphaltic concrete overlayment.
- roads and surfaces are used here in a broad sense to include sidewalks, driveways, parking lots and other such paved surfaces.
- the grid is formed of continuous filament rovings of fiberglass. We prefer ECR or E glass rovings of 2200 tex, though one could easily use weights ranging from about 1000 to about 5000 tex. These rovings are formed into grids with rectangular or square openings, preferably ranging in size from 3/4" to 1" on a side, though grids ranging from 1/8" to six inches on a side may be used.
- the grids are preferably stitched at the intersections of the crosswise and lengthwise strands to hold the grid shape, prevent the rovings from spreading out unduly, and to preserve the openings, which are believed to be important in permitting the overlayment to bind to the underlying layer and thereby increase the strength of the composite.
- an asphaltic coating or resin is applied to impart a semi-rigid nature to it.
- This coating also makes the grid compatible with asphalt and protects the glass from corrosion by water and other elements in the roadway environment.
- the rovings may be flattened, but the grid-like openings are maintained.
- a rectangular grid was formed, with openings of about 3/4 inch by one inch, and the rovings flattened to about 1/16 inch to 1/8" across. The thickness of the rovings after coating and drying was about 1/32" or less.
- resins can be used for this purpose, such as asphalt, rubber modified asphalt, unsaturated polyesters, vinyl ester, epoxy, polyacrylates, polyurethanes, polyolefines, and phenolics which give the required rigidity, compatibility, and corrosion resistance. They may be applied using hot-melt, emulsion, solvent, or radiation-cure systems.
- One curing system used for a coating and found satisfactory was thermally cured. For example, a 50% solution of 120-195°C (boiling point) asphalt was dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent using a series of padding rollers. The material was thermally cured at 175°C and a throughput speed of 30 yds./min. The pick-up of asphalt material was 10-15% based on original glass weight.
- the grid when coated is semi-rigid and can be rolled-up on a core for easy transport as a prefabricated continuous component to the place of installation, where it is rolled out continuously for rapid, economical, and simple incorporation into the roadway. For example, it can be placed on rolls 15 feet wide containing a single piece 100 yards or more long, which makes it practical to use this grid on all or substantially all of the pavement surface, which is cost effective because it reduces labor costs. (Where cracks occur in random fashion, mechanized laying of narrow strips of fabric is impossible, and it is costly to place harrow strips over each crack by hand.)
- the above described reinforcement invention can be rolled out on a roadway which has previously been coated with tack coat. Once laid down it is sufficiently stable, prior to placing the overlayment on it, for vehicles and personnel to drive or walk on it without displacing-it.
- the large grid openings permit the asphalt mixture to encapsulate each strand of yarn or roving completely and permit complete and substantial contact between underlying and overlaid layers.
- the product has a high modulus and a high strength to cost ratio, its coefficient of expansion approximates that of road construction materials, and it resists corrosion by materials used in road construction and found in the road environment, such as road salt.
