An estimated 80% of all roads in the world are unpaved. According to an AASTHO report, approximately 20% of pavements fail due to insufficient structural strength. Nowadays, it is challenging to optimally manage available natural and financial resources on construction of new roads and repair, maintenance and rehabilitation of existing roads. A sustainable option to overcome this problem is to develop an innovative pavement stabilization technique with a suitable reinforcement alternative that improves the overall structural strength, reduces operational costs, minimizes maintenance requirements and uses on-site or recycled materials.
