No freezing and thawing and no salt
The roman roads in the uk are the best I've ever driven on , no pot holes very smooth and 2000 years old
They need something because roads built by hand during the depression lasted way longer then the interstate road do!!! US 41 in Pasco County Florida was solid till the 2000s! My friends dad worked on it in the late 1930s & 1940s too.
Oh OK! And the Titanic was unsinkable! Let's first prove it by showing us the 100 year old road that has actually lasted 100 years!
China came up with a similar method when building a highway across a desert but also added wide areas of woven organic cellulose filled with sand along both sides of the road to keep dunes from sweeping in.
100 years ? Mmm, only time will tell !
Did you know in Pennsylvania? We don’t even fill the potholes
Dubai just began industrialization in 1966 and building roads in the 80’s. So how do they know they will last?
For those saying "no freezing and thawing..." deserts are actually VERY fluctuating in temperatures. At night, it's just above freezing, and at daytime, it's unbearable
Weather is 🔑
The geo stuff in one form or another has been used in the UK for decades. I can remember they did my childhood street using it in the early 90's.
They might have the strongest pavements, but it holds floodwaters the longest😂😂
Geo cell and Geo textiles have been used for a long time, especially for airports, bridges, and military applications. The idea is to use the same way the steel reinforces are used, which provides strength and proper distribution of stress to the surfaces. Could also be a combination of the same methods with temperature conduction divices that can keep the ice out the roads.
Bring to south africa 🇿🇦
It's not for distributing weight. It's for preventing the shifting of the loose sand under the asphalt.
Concrete? Do you mean asphalt?
So I guess in Dubai, they have the 301 area code like Maryland and all their dump trucks have English written on the back of them. That’s pretty cool.
I'm in a project where we're using those geo cells to install grass on the slopes...
WOW ‼️ 👌🏼
