摘要: |
Geotextiles have witnessed unparalleled growth worldwide in recent years in the field of different civil engineering constructions. With the growing environmental concern the global emphasis is towards the application of eco-concordant, renewable green products and this has inclined towards the natural fibre-made fabrics. Jute Geotextile (JGT) is increasingly gaining ground over its synthetic non-biodegradable and toxic counterpart in different significant civil engineering constructions. One such prime application of JGT is in road construction where it has been restricted so far as underlay. Hence, there is an urgent need to design and develop a fabric as overlay on existing pavements to stay technically and economically competitive in the global market. Such a fabric will not only prove techno-economically viable but will also reduce the carbon footprint generation to a large extent. This paper focusses on the laboratory simulation study of Bituminized Jute Paving Fabric (BJPF) followed by its commercialization through field trials carried out by the Department of Jute and Fibre Technology (DJFT), Institute of Jute Technology (IJT), University of Calcutta (CU) in collaboration with Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), New Delhi, India to establish its efficacy in reducing the cost of maintenance of the road and serving as a partial substitute of bitumen mastic enhancing thereby the life expectancy of the road. The field trial reports of BJPF obtained so far is fairly satisfactory with the traffic moving smoothly and no major distresses have been observed in the tried roads. |
