| Summary: | In this paper, an intensive review was made to propose Fibers Pavement Concrete (FPC) for Salang-Road Afghanistan. Moreover, structural properties of FPC were also evaluated and compared with those of Asphalt road. There are various benefits in application of Fiber within rigid pavement. For instance, FPC has longer life and lower maintenance cost in compare with the flexible pavement. In rigid pavement design temperature and thickness are two effective parameters that could widely affect by inclusion of fiber to the total cost of the Salang Road-Project. Different types of fibers with volume fraction optimization which economical and safe are introduced. A concept was adopted to quantify the benefits of adding fiber in terms of extension of the pavement service life and also in terms of reduction in the concrete thickness for the same service life of both reinforced and unreinforced concrete pavement sections. that the use of fibers reduces the thickness of road pavement, enhance the durability and subsequently decreases the overall cost of road construction of Salang rigid pavement. |
