Roads have great importance in the life of millions of citizens by enabling their mobility and boosting the economic growth. However, maintaining reliable road performances is becoming increasingly difficult and continuous maintenance of roads is required even if it presents economic, environmental and social impacts. Fostering durable, cost-effective and eco-friendly practices to reduce maintenance and achieve higher service lives is indispensable.
The objective of the FIBRA project is to overcome the technical barriers for the safe and cost-efficient implementation of fibre-reinforced asphalt mixtures (FRAM) by NRAs with which an increase in the asphalt pavements durability could be achieved.
This project has received funding from the CEDR Transnational.
Road Research Programme - Call 2017: New materials. The partners involved in the development of the project are: University of Cantabria (Spain, Coordinator), Technishche Universität Braunschweig - ISBS Institute für Straßenwesen (Germany), EMPA - Materials Science & Technology (Switzerland), BAM Infra bv (The Netherlands), SINTEF AS (Norway) and Veidekke Industri AS (Norway).
