| Summary: | In this paper, an intensive review was made to propose
Fibers Pavement Concrete (FPC) for Salang-Road
Afghanistan. Moreover, structural properties of FPC
were also evaluated and compared with those of
Asphalt road. There are various benefits in application
of Fiber within rigid pavement. For instance, FPC has
longer life and lower maintenance cost in compare
with the flexible pavement. In rigid pavement
design temperature and thickness are two effective
parameters that could widely affect by inclusion of fiber
to the total cost of the Salang Road-Project. Different
types of fibers with volume fraction optimization which
economical and safe are introduced. A concept was
adopted to quantify the benefits of adding fiber in
terms of extension of the pavement service life and also
in terms of reduction in the concrete thickness for the
same service life of both reinforced and unreinforced
concrete pavement sections. that the use of fibers
reduces the thickness of road pavement, enhance the
durability and subsequently decreases the overall cost
of road construction of Salang rigid pavement. |
