The constructions of local road pavement consisting of thinner, more flexible layers located on less stable subbase than the pavement of national roads, require reinforcement with asphalt layers characterized by increased fatigue life. Technologies that allow quick repairs and reinforcements, while improving the durability of the road pavement are being sought. Such technologies include the use of modifications of asphalt mixtures with special fibers. The paper presents the results of investigations of the properties of asphalt mixtures modified with innovative basalt-polymer fibers FRP. On the basis of the obtained test results according to the Marshall method, stiffness modulus and fatigue durability, the technical properties of asphalt mixtures with FRP fibers addition were improved. This technology significantly increases the fatigue life of asphalt concrete dedicated for repairs and reinforcements of road pavements.}, type={Article}, title={Properties of asphalt concrete with basalt-polymer fibers}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/115619/PDF-MASTER/12_ace-2018-0052.pdf}, keywords={asphalt concrete, basalt-polymer fibers, stiffness modulus, fatigue life}, }
