Read MoreApplying a leveling course. The first lift applied to the existing pavement is used to fill in ruts and make up elevation differences. The top of this lift, which is relatively smooth, is used as the base for the wearing course. Leveling course lifts need to be as thick as the deepest low spot but not so thick that they are difficult to compact.
Read MoreThis asphalt paving describes the sequences and methodology for construction of 60 mm Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) asphalt wearing course.. This asphalt paving method statement is specifically constructed over concrete road slab as compared to pavement construction over sub base course. However, for asphaltic paving works over sub base …
Read MoreIn addition, it prevents entrance of surface water into the underlying base, subbase and subgrade (NAPA, 2001 [1]). This top structural layer of material is sometimes subdivided into two layers: the wearing course (top) and binder course (bottom). Surface courses are most often constructed out of HMA. Base Course.
Read MoreA layer of boulders or bricks provided over the subbase or immediately over the subgrade in the absence of sub-base in a road pavement is called base course or soling or foundation course.
Read MoreThe scope for pavement for the road construction consists of sub-base of granular material, road base of crusher run, asphaltic concrete binder course and asphaltic concrete wearing course. At the end of this article you shall find links to download method …

Functions of Road Base. 1- To avoid the distortion of wearing course due to its sufficient density. 2- Supports the wearing course. Material. 1- In the case of Upper Road Base, the material is of high quality as the load intensity is high.
Read MoreSub or Lower Base Course Construction: Constructed above the sub grade Not needed if the sub grade is of very high strength In case of flexible pavement upper and lower base courses are separated having different materials In case of rigid pavement only upper base course is provided Thickness varies from 7.5 (3in) to 15cm (6in)
Read MoreConsists of the base course and wearing course. Base course distributes traffic load over the roadbase and provides a good shape and regular surface on which to lay the relatively thin wearing course. The wearing course is to provide a safe, skid-resistant surface, and to withstand the effects of abrasion and stresses from traffic. On

This Work Method Statement is to outline the apply and lay pavement for the road construction consisting of sub-base of granular material, road base of crusher run, asphaltic concrete binder course and asphaltic concrete wearing course. 2.0 SCOPE. This method statement shall apply for all roadwork.
Read MoreSubbase Course. The layer between the base course and subgrade. It functions primarily as structural support but it can also minimize the intrusion of fines from the subgrade into the pavement structure and improve drainage. The subbase generally consists of lower quality materials than the base course but better than the subgrade soils.
