Proposal Of Nanotechnology In Flexible Pavement Construction For Waterlogging Area

Abstract

We know that waterlogging damages the pavement heavily. Use of Nanotechnology nano silane and acrylic co-polymer in waterlogging area to make soil water proof, results in increment of CBR under wet condition and reduces the damages and can control capillary rise of water, too. The other benefits achieved are likely negligible maintenance and increase in overall life span of road. As the thickness of pavement decreases, material requirement reduces ultimately which is an added advantage. Zycosile is added in dense bituminous macadam and semi dance bituminous carpet it can feel all the voides so water can’t get penetrated in pavement. This paper discusses the recent developments in use of nanotechnology in pavement construction.
