Description
Krzysztof Granatyr and colleagues test a fly ash geopolymer concrete as a thin protective skin over asphalt pavement, in a 2026 laboratory study. The program ran a long battery: pressure water entry, abrasion, skid grip, wheel rutting, bending fatigue, strength, freeze-thaw cycles, and salt scaling. Strength results came in strong across bending, crushing, and splitting tests.
Ruts stayed shallow after a month, and most stiffness survived a million bending cycles. Salt scaling roughly doubled between one and two months of exposure. Alone, the geopolymer let pressurized water through fully, yet the layered specimen over asphalt leaked nothing in the same three-day test. The authors judge the pairing, not the skin alone, as the workable system.
