MODERN METHODS FOR EXTENDING THE SERVICE LIFE OF ASPHALT ROAD PAVEMENTS

Abstract

Georgia’s specific geographical location, its geopolitical significance in the Caucasus region, and the high-volume transit flows through the country highlight the urgent need for the rapid and efficient development of its road network. Improved road conditions enhance safety and driving comfort, making international routes more suitable for cargo transportation. This, in turn, attracts more tourists and stimulates economic growth, resulting in increased national income. Combining traditional methods and local materials with newly developed techniques and modern materials can yield greater results-producing high-quality roads with longer service life and lower maintenance costs.
