Abstract

Composite materials have advancements in many structural applications. This paper explains the design philosophy involved in composite structures. The various methods used to design have been discussed here. Conventional and composite materials show a wider variation, on considering corrosion resistance and part complexity. Composite materials always have a superior design complexity. All these analytics pave way for Materials selection for the road design and in the production of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). Thus the paper reviewed that the manufacturing methods can be changed in order to supersede the existing product design.

Keywords
