5. INTROUCTION
Self repairing roads are roads comes with built-in crack healing.
Built up on the knowledge of material science and structural engineering.
This will be a game-changer in road construction.
6. HISTORY
Professor Nemkumar banthia, University of
British Columbia, isone of the greatest Indian
minds that have developed a technology that can
be used to make roads repair themselves.
He pioneered the process of structural repair and
strengthinig using sprayed fibre reinforced
polymers.
9. CHARACTIRISTICS
This roads are 60% less thick than normal pavements
About 60% of cement is replaced with flyash
It comes with built-in crack healing.
10. CASE STUDY
90 Km from Bengaluru toThondebhavi
Constructed in 2015
11. ADVANTAGES
It comes with built-in crack healing which leads to safe & comfortable
journey
It is also 30% cheaper in terms of a first time cost
These are cost effective, have greater longevity and are sustainable.
Environment friendly
12. DISADVANTAGES
This mechanism is limited to concrete pavements
Skilled labour is required
This should only limited to normal traffic roads
