We know that waterlogging damages the pavement heavily. Use of Nanotechnology in waterlogging area to make soil water proof, results in increment of CBR under wet condition and reduces the damages. 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. This paper discusses the recent developments in use of nanotechnology in pavement construction.
