Abstract
In a method of reinforcing and waterproofing a paved surface, a layer of liquefied asphalt is applied on a paved surface. A reinforcement mat is applied over the liquefied asphalt. The reinforcement mat is a nonwoven mat produced from fibers having a melting point above about 320° F. (160° C.), and selected from mineral fibers such as glass fibers, polymer fibers, or mixtures thereof. The liquefied asphalt penetrates and soaks the reinforcement mat to form a water barrier. A layer of paving material is applied over the reinforcement mat.
Claims21
A method of reinforcing and waterproofing a paved surface comprising the steps of:
- applying a layer of liquefied asphalt on a surface;
- applying a reinforcement mat over the liquefied asphalt, the reinforcement mat comprising a nonwoven mat produced from fibers having a melting point above about 320° F. (160° C.) selected from the group consisting of mineral fibers, polymer fibers, and mixtures thereof, the liquefied asphalt penetrating and soaking the reinforcement mat to form a water barrier;
- and
- applying a layer of paving material over the reinforcement mat.
A method of reinforcing and waterproofing a paved surface comprising the steps of:
- applying a layer of liquefied asphalt on a surface;
- applying a reinforcement mat over the liquefied asphalt, the reinforcement mat comprising a nonwoven mat produced from fibers selected from the group consisting of mineral fibers and a mixture of mineral fibers and polymer fibers, the liquefied asphalt penetrating and soaking the reinforcement mat to form a water barrier;
- and
- applying a layer of paving material over the reinforcement mat.
A method of repairing a crack in a paved surface comprising the steps of:
- applying a reinforcement mat over the crack by securing the reinforcement mat to the paved surface on one side of the crack and leaving the reinforcement mat unsecured to the paved surface on the opposite side of the crack;
- and
- applying a layer of paving material over the reinforcement mat.
