Functionalities
Stress Relief
Because fatigue due to traffic and thermal and hydraulic changes are the obvious causes of fissuring, the major function of stress relief is to increase the life span of the roadway.
Reinforcement
The major function of Reinforcement is to guarantee the stability of structures.
Sealing
The major function of sealing is to prevent the flow of water and polluting products towards the natural soil.
