About the Book: A Technical Handbook on Bituminized Jute Paving Fabric (BJPF)
The book states that in the last quarter of the twentieth century, a new class
of materials called Geo-synthetics emerged which led to significant revolution
in the design of geotechnical and geo-environmental systems. Geotextiles extend
the service life of roads, increase their load carrying capacity and reduce
rutting and other distresses. The effectiveness of geotextiles in stabilization
and separation roles with flexible pavements has been extensively researched.
Recognizing the vast potentiality of this developed Bituminized Jute Paving
Fabric (BJPF) as overlay on existing pavements to reinforce and partially
substitute the bitumen mastic, a strong desire
