Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved design and improved method of installation of stress absorbing membrane interlayers, commonly known as SAMIs, used for strengthening and waterproofing asphalt pavements in road or highway surfacing operations. By a novel method of modifying a standard paving machine the present invention makes it easier and more convenient to install SAMI membranes beneath a layer of new asphalt pavement, thus providing greater resistance to pavement cracking resulting in lower overall maintenance costs.

Claim (Index 3):
Membrane dispensing shafts in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the said shafts are positioned such that they can allow dispensing of the said membrane in multiple strips to cover the center width between the machine's two tracks, and concurrently to cover the area beneath each of the machines two support tracks, and concurrently to cover the lateral area on the outer side of each of the machines two tracks, with or without the side edges of each membrane overlapping each adjacent membrane edge.
