The article presents research results concerning pre-bituminized carbon grids for asphalt pavement reinforcement, which are used to prevent cracking and crack reflection thus increasing bearing capacity and durability of pavement. Research program involved testing of large sized double-layer samples, both reinforced and unreinforced. The advantage of using a carbon grid was especially visible after crack initiation. The energy during crack propagation phase was about three times higher in comparison with unreinforced samples. The maximum dissipated energy was significantly higher in the fatigue test for a reinforced samples, with also higher level of tensile strain.
