RESUMO

The use of geosynthetics in roadway systems has received considerable attention over the past decades. Paving fabrics have been used for rehabilitation of pavements to reduce propagation of cracks and to extend pavement life. In addition, the success of this technique depends directly on the understanding of the geotextiles behavior when impregnated with asphalt. I this sense, this study evaluated different nonwoven geotextiles frequently used in the anti-reflective cracking systems, focusing on initial stiffness gain and permeability reduction. Virgin and impregnated specimens of polyester and polypropylene nonwoven geotextiles were used. Cationic rapid setting emulsified asphalt (CRS) was used as asphalt binder. Wide-width tensile tests were performed in accordance with ABNT - NBR 12824/93 and water vapor transmission tests (WVT) were performed according to ASTM E96M/05. The results of tensile tests on impregnated geotextiles showed significantly increase in tensile stiffness values. Results also showed high increase in stiffness values at strain levels less than 0.03% and decrease on stiffness gains with the increase of strains. Water vapor transmission tests demonstrated that cationic asphalt emulsion applied on nonwoven geotextiles allows a drastic reduction in permeability values and may turn this system in a low permeability barrier.
