David Jones of Owens Corning will present technical information on the laboratory testing and field performance of fiberglass-based pavement interlayer materials at the upcoming D35.03 Geosynthetics subcommittee meeting in Atlanta in January. The presentation is scheduled for Friday, January 28th from 8:30-9:30 a.m. The fiberglass-polyester based mats are used as waterproofing and reinforcement layers in bituminous overlays of existing pavements. Five years of field performance have demonstrated the efficacy of these materials over a wide range of existing pavements, including both bituminous and Portland cement concrete. Beam Fatigue and other laboratory testing has also been completed utilizing these materials, and those results will be presented as well. Any interested parties are welcome to attend. All ASTM technical committee meetings are open to the public free of charge, so please feel free to pass this information on to any non-members who may have interest.
