Abstract
The increase in traffic load on freeways, arterial roads and runways has led the road construction industry to design and use pavements with high strength and rutting resistance and cost-effective. In recent decades, a pavement with semi-flexible performance has been invented from the combination of porous asphalt mixture and cementitious grouts, which has the appropriate level of sliding resistance and rideability of asphalt pavement, and at the same time, it has the strength and resistance of concrete pavements. The resistance properties of this type of pavement are highly dependent on the characteristics of its filling grout; Therefore, modifying the characteristics and performance of grout will be very important. In recent years, many researches have been carried out in order to improve the properties and characteristics of semi-flexible pavement filling cementitious grouts using different additives and pozzolans. In this research, an attempt has been made to show the effect of additives of fly ash, silica fume, polyethylene terephthalate, styrene-butadiene-styrene latex, mineral powder, recycled layer on the properties of cementitious grouts and semi-flexible pavement mixture by reviewing previous researches. The results show that the use of optimal percentages of these materials can improve the compressive and bending strength, rutting resistance, shrinkage, fluidity and adhesion between the slurry and asphalt and provide the target properties for semi-flexible pavement.
