More specifically, thefirst asphalt layer 110 may directly contact thetextile layer 130 such that the asphalt material included in thefirst asphalt layer 110 is impregnated into thetextile layer 130. Thesecond asphalt layer 120 may directly contact thetextile layer 130 such that the asphalt material included in thesecond asphalt layer 120 is impregnated into thetextile layer 130. In other words, thefirst asphalt layer 110, thetextile layer 130 and thesecond asphalt layer 120 may be coupled to each other to form an integrity. - In a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a structure in which the
textile layer 130 is surrounded by the asphalt material (i.e. a structure of thefirst asphalt layer 110, thetextile layer 130 and thesecond asphalt layer 120 sequentially stacked) may be obtained by impregnating thetextile layer 130 into an asphalt material for forming thefirst asphalt layer 110 and thesecond asphalt layer 120 and then calendaring-molding the impregnatedtextile layer 130. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, thefirst asphalt layer 110, thetextile layer 130 and thesecond asphalt layer 120 may have an entire thickness in a range of 2 to 4.5 mm.

If the entire thickness of thefirst asphalt layer 110, thetextile layer 130 and thesecond asphalt layer 120 is too thick, flatness of the asphalt pavement may be negatively affected. - The crushed
stone layer 140 may be positioned on thefirst bonding surface 111 of thefirst asphalt layer 110, thereby preventing the asphalt layer from directly contacting tires of automobiles. As such, the tires of the automobiles passing through thepatch 100 may be prevented from sticking thepatch 100 and sliding. - In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the crushed
stone layer 140 may include crushed stones each having a particle size in a range of 1.18 to 4.75 mm, for example, the crushed stones may have a single particle size of 1.18 mm, 2.36 mm or 4.75 mm. The crushedstone layer 140 may be formed by scattering an aggregate (e.g., the crushed stones) having a particle size of, for example, 2.36 mm, on thefirst bonding surface 111 of thefirst asphalt layer 110. In particular, after calendaring-molding thefirst asphalt layer 110, thetextile layer 130 and thesecond asphalt layer 120 and before cooling down the same, a certain amount of crushed stones having a certain particle size may be scattered on thefirst bonding surface 111 of thefirst asphalt layer 110 uniformly using a crushed stone spreader, the crushed stones on thefirst bonding surface 111 of thefirst asphalt layer 110 are tamped to ensure bonding between the crushed stones and thefirst bonding surface 111, and unnecessary, redundant crushed stones on thefirst bonding surface 111 of thefirst asphalt layer 110 are removed. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. - In exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the crushed
stone layer 140 may have a coverage rate of 75% to 95% on thefirst bonding surface 111 of thefirst asphalt layer 110. If the coverage rate of the crushedstone layer 140 on thefirst bonding surface 111 of thefirst asphalt layer 110 is less than 75%, the tires of the automobiles passing through thepatch 100 may not be prevented from sticking thepatch 100 and sliding. If the coverage rate of the crushedstone layer 140 on thefirst bonding surface 111 of thefirst asphalt layer 110 is more than 95%, travelling comfort may be negatively affected when the automobiles pass through thepatch 100. - Moreover, the aggregate for forming the crushed
stone layer 140 may have following technical parameters. -

stone layer 140 may have a thickness in a range of 1 to 5 mm. If the thickness of the crushedstone layer 140 is too thin, the tires of the automobiles may not be prevented from sticking thepatch 100 and sliding. If the thickness of the crushedstone layer 140 is too thick, the entire thickness of thepatch 100 and the flatness of the asphalt pavement may be negatively affected. - The
release layer 150 is positioned on and covers thefourth bonding surface 122 of thesecond asphalt layer 120, thereby protecting thesecond asphalt layer 120 from external environment and facilitating package and transportation of thepatch 100. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, therelease layer 150 may be a polyethylene blown thin film. Therelease layer 150 may have a thickness equal to or less than 0.05 mm. - According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the
patch 100 may have an entire thickness in a range of 5 to 8.5 mm. The thickness of the patch on the asphalt pavement may be in a range of 3 to 4.5 mm after the patch is compacted by the automobiles, and thus flatness of the asphalt pavement is not negatively affected. - A pothole of an asphalt pavement may be repaired quickly by using the patch according to the present disclosure. Moreover, the patch according to the present disclosure may not pollute environment around roads.
