The use of plastic foam insulation in roads

Plastic foam used as a heat insulation layer in the road base protects the road from frost damage. For some years now this insulation method has been practised in Scandinavia and in other countries with a cold climate. A concentrated description is given of some of the insulation properties and effe...
