Although the US North Atlantic ports handle considerably more cargo then their South Atlantic counterparts, and have indeed invested more heavily in container handling facilities, it is the South Atlantic ports which are now proportioning a greater percentage of income into new facilities. This article discusses the development plans of some major South Atlantic ports including Jacksonsville, Port Everglades, Ports in South Carolina, and Wilmington. reduce reflective cracking in asphalt pavement. In addition, as the results are tabulated from different climatic areas of the country, they show that pavement laid over a fabric has an extended life and maintains a satisfactory surface much longer than conventional asphalt pavements. In addition, fabric utilization can make a two-fold contribution toward stretching budgets over more miles of road. In the first case, the actual road repair is accomplished with greater ease and in a shorter time. Then, after the fabric application, the amount of asphalt overlay required is definitely less, resulting in a saving on material. The article discusses application case hiatories.
