Paved roads will continue to play a critical role with our growing transportation needs. Pavement reinforcement in highway construction gives extra life to roads. Increasing concern over road safety issues has led to the use of polymers-based road surface materials which make a significant contribution in improving pavement performance while reducing maintenance cost. One such application to reinforce the pavement section is use of hybrid fibreglass-polyester (FGP) nonwoven paving mats. In this study, experimental work is performed in laboratory to know the influence of fibreglass percentage on tensile strength of hybrid FGP nonwoven paving mats. Paving mats with varying fibreglass percentage i.e., 0% (control sample), 15 %, 30 %, 45% and 60 % are selected for laboratory tensile test and elongation. The results showed that with an increase in glass fibre percentage upto 60 % by weight leads to an improvement in the tensile strength.
