Abstract

Abstract A method for repairing cracked runways and pavements. A mat of fiberglass is placed over the cracked runway or pavement, the mat is rigidized by spraying or painting with a plastic material, and a new layer of asphalt is laid over the rigidized mat. This method permits a saving of asphalt on the order of 50 percent and overcomes the hazard of reflective cracking.
