What is a Pavement?
OR Highway pavement is a structure
consisting of superimposed layers of selected and processed materials whose primary function is to distribute the applied vehicle load to the sub grade.
OR It can also be defined as “structure
which separates the tires of vehicles from the under lying foundation.”

What is a Pavement?
Pavement is the upper part of roadway, airport or parking area structure
It includes all layers resting on the original ground
– It consists of all structural elements or layers, including shoulders
4
Functions of the Pavement Reduce and distribute the traffic loading so
as not to damage the subgrade – Provide vehicle access between two
points under all-weather conditions – Provide safe, smooth and comfortable
ride to road users without undue delays and excessive wear & tear
– Meet environmental and aesthetics requirement
– Limited noise and air pollution – Reasonable economy
5
Requirements of pavement structure
Sufficient thickness to spread loading to a pressure intensity tolerable by subgade
Sufficiently strong to carry imposed stress due to traffic load
Sufficient thickness to prevent the effect of frost susceptible subgade
Pavement material should be impervious to penetration of surface water which could weaken subgade and subsequently pavement
Pavement mat. shd be non-frost susceptible
Pavement surface shd. be skid resistant

Pavements Comparison
• Heavy vehicles consume less fuel on rigid pavements
• Rigid pavements more economic when considering environmental / life-cycle costing
Flexible Pavement
“A flexible pavement is a structure that maintains intimate contact with and distributes load to the sub grade and depends on aggregate interlock, particle friction and cohesion for stability”
15
OR
It is a structure which distributes the traffic loading stresses to the soil (sub grade) at a magnitude that will not shear or distort the soil i.e., from 150 psi to 3 psi
OR
Pavement which reflects deformation of sub grade & the subsequent layers on to the surface” i.e.; load is transmitted from grain to grain through contact points of granular material, i.e. in a compressive way.

Structure of Flexible Pavement In order to take maximum advantage of
this property, material layers are usually arranged in order of descending load bearing capacity with the highest load bearing capacity material (and most expensive) on the top and the lowest load bearing capacity material (and least expensive) at the bottom.

– Surface Course: This is the top layer and the layer that comes in contact with traffic.
– Base Course: This is the layer directly below the surface course and generally consists of aggregates (either stabilized or un-stabilized).
– Sub-base Course: This is the layer (or layers) under the base layer. A sub-base is not always needed.
Structure of Flexible Pavement
21
– Sub-grade Course: The "sub-grade" is the material upon which the pavement structure is placed. Although there is a tendency to look at pavement performance in terms of pavement structure and mix design alone. The sub-grade can often be the overriding factor in pavement performance.
Structure of Flexible Pavement
Surface Course
The surface course is the layer in contact with traffic loads and normally contains the highest quality materials. It provides characteristics such as friction, smoothness, noise control, rut and shoving resistance and drainage.
22
Base Course
The base course is immediately beneath the surface course. It provides additional load distribution and contributes to drainage and frost resistance. Base courses are usually constructed out of:
Aggregates: Base courses are most typically constructed from durable aggregates that will not be damaged by moisture or frost action. Aggregates can be either stabilized or un-stabilized.
23
Sub-base Course
The sub-base course is between the base course and the sub-grade. It functions primarily as structural support but it can also:
Minimize the intrusion of fines from the sub-grade into the pavement structure.
Improves drainage.
Minimize frost action damage.
Provides a working platform for construction.
25
Sub-base Course
The sub-base generally consists of lower quality materials than the base course but better than the sub-grade soils.
A sub-base course is not always needed or used.
For example, a pavement constructed over a high quality, stiff sub-grade may not need the additional features offered by a sub-base course so it may be omitted from design.
26
Sub-grade
• Sub-grades be composed of a wide range of materials although some are much better than others. This subsection discusses a few of the aspects of sub-grade materials that make them either desirable or undesirable and the typical tests used to characterize sub-grades.
27
Rigid Pavement
Rigid pavements are those, which contain sufficient beam strength to be able to bridge over the localized sub-grade failures and areas of in adequate support.
OR
Load is transmitted through beam action of slab in rigid pavements.
OR
Rigid pavements are those, which reduces the stress concentration and distributes the reduced stresses uniformly to the area under the slab.
36
Rigid Pavement
Rigidity – does not deform under stress Concrete – air entrained increases resistance
to frost damage and de-icing salt corrosion Reinforcement – may be bars or mesh.
Continuous rigid pavements have heavy reinforcement
Joints – used in non-continuous pavements to allow for thermal movement. Includes a ‘filler’ and surface sealant
Rigid pavements – laid as single layer by ‘concrete paver’
37
Rigid Pavements
Because of its relative rigidity, the pavement structure distributes loads over a wide area with only one, or at most two, structural layers.
There are other types of surfaces also i.e.; reinforced, continuously reinforced etc.
42
Structure of Rigid Pavement
Surface course. This is the top layer, which consists of the PCC slab, reinforced or continuously reinforced slabs .
Base course. This is the layer directly below the PCC layer and generally consists of aggregate or stabilized sub-grade.
Sub-base course. This is the layer (or layers) under the base layer. A sub-base is not always needed and therefore may often be omitted.
43
44
Surface Course
• The surface course is the layer in contact with traffic loads and is made of PCC or RCC. It provides characteristics such as friction, smoothness, noise control and drainage. In addition, it serves as a waterproofing layer to the underlying base, sub-base and sub-grade.
• The surface course can vary in thickness but is usually between 150 mm (6 inches for light loading) and 300 mm (12 inches for heavy loads and high traffic). Figure shows a 300 mm (12 inch) surface course.
46
Base Course
• The base course is immediately beneath the surface course. It provides
• Additional load distribution, • Contributes to drainage and frost resistance, • Uniform support to the pavement and • A stable platform for construction equipment. Bases also
help and prevent sub grade soil movement due to slab pumping. Base courses are usually constructed out of:
– Aggregates base. A simple base course of crushed aggregates has been a common option since the early 1900s and is still appropriate in many situations.
47
– Stabilized aggregate or soil. Stabilizing agents are used to bind otherwise loose particles to one another, providing strength and cohesion. Cement treated bases (CTB s) can be built to as much as 20 - 25 percent of the surface course strength.
– Dense-graded HMA. In situations where high base stiffness is desired base courses can be constructed using a dense-graded HMA layer.
– Permeable HMA. In certain situations where high base stiffness and excellent drainage is desired, base courses can be constructed using an open graded HMA.
Base Course
49
Sub-base Course
• The sub-base course is the portion of the pavement structure between the base course and the sub-grade. It functions primarily as structural support but it can also:
– Minimize the intrusion of fines from the sub-grade into the pavement structure.
– Improves drainage. – Minimizes frost action damage.
– Provides a working platform for construction. • The sub-base generally consists of lower quality
materials than the base course but better than the sub-grade soils. Appropriate materials are aggregates and high quality structural fill.
