Increase of Strength of Active Zone of Road Structure by Regulation of Its Water-Heat Regime
Abstract: Modern highways are objects of certain risk, as they can be dangerous and vulnerable in case of insufficient operational measures and catastrophes, which arise under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors. Therefore, ensuring a stable water-thermal regime of the road structure is one of the leading tasks of the scientific and technical process in road construction. Stable water-thermal regime is ensured by means of layout and drainage systems, as well as the use of special materials and technologies. One of the methods of moisture and heat transfer control is the use of geotextile, which allows to improve the drainage properties of the structure and prevent freezing of the road surface in winter. It is also important to consider climatic conditions and soil characteristics when designing and constructing a road. For example, in case of high humidity or the presence of groundwater, it is necessary to provide additional drainage systems. To maintain a stable water and heat regime, thermal insulation systems are also used to reduce heat loss and prevent freezing of the road surface. Regular maintenance and repair of pavements is also an important aspect to prevent possible disturbances in water and heat transfer. In general, ensuring a stable water-thermal regime of the road structure requires a comprehensive approach including proper design, construction and maintenance of the road surface.
