Abstract

The laying of bituminous mixes in the Kashmir valley stops in the month of October and then again starts towards the end of April. Thus appreciable time of the year is lost owing to low temperature in these months which hinders the developmental process. This problem associated with construction of bituminous pavements in cold season in the Kashmir valley can be effectively encountered by the evotherm technology which maintains the viscosity of bituminous mixes during laying and compaction even at low temperatures.
