Design of pavements

Pavement is a structure that is made up of different layers such as sub-base course layer, base course layer, binder course, and a surface course formed with different materials such as gravel, above the subgrade soil constructed to act as a path or carriageway enabling the movement of vehicles. The surface of the pavement should possess characteristics such as adequate friction, light reflection, and drainage. The pavements are classified based on structural design into rigid pavements, flexible pavements, composite pavements, and unpaved pavements. The process of determining a suitable pavement type, its constituent layers, and its thickness is called pavement design.

Higher values of asphalt penetration test indicate softer consistency, and this asphalt is preferred for use in hot climate areas. 2. In AASHTO soil classification system, the group index (GI) is incorporated with the groups and subgroups of the soil to evaluate the type of a soil. 3. The asphalt material behaves more similar to a viscous fluid at intermediate temperatures and longer loading times. 4. Superpave performance grading (PG) considers the conditions under which asphalt is used while penetration and viscosity tests are not 5.
