One of the most important areas construction industry is road infrastructure. It plays a crucial role in economy various countries. Today’s roads must withstand long-term temperature and load differences, but some infrastructure cannot survive these tests, after one severe winter, there may be asphalt cracks holes that need to repaired. This problem requires new applications more resistant materials. Geopolymers are potential candidates. class material as building for has frost salt. The aim study herein demonstrate mechanical physical properties composite geopolymer made from fly ash, coal shale, nanosilica, carbon fiber application research experiments will serve determine whether geopolymers suitable replacing traditional concrete processes. following methods were applied: SEM, XRF, XRD, compressive strength testing, abrasion, investigation freeze–thaw resistance climatic chamber. results confirm possibility applying compositions infrastructure, including sufficient such ca. 38 MPa resistance, shown by mass loss about 1.7%, well abrasion 4%.
