Flexible pavements - Definition


■ Pavements typically consist of asphalt concrete placed
over granular base/subbase layers supported by the
compacted soil (referred to as the subgrade )
■ Types
1. Conventional flexible pavements
2. Full-depth asphalt flexible pavements
3. Semi-rigid pavements
4. Contained rock asphalt mat (CRAM),
■ not widely accepted for practical use widely
5. Perpetual Pavement

Conventional flexible pavements


Typical cross section
■ Cross section consist of (from top):
1. Seal coat
2. Surface course
3. Tack coat
4. Binder course
5. Prime coat
6. Base course
7. Subbase course
8. Compacted subgrade
9. Natural subgrade
The use of various courses is based on either necessity or
economy, and some of the courses may be omitted

Conventional flexible pavements


Layers – Subgrade
■ Subgrade can be either in situ soil
or a layer of selected materials.
■ The top 6” of subgrade should be
scarified and compacted to the
desired density near the optimum
moisture content.
■ Purpose
Provide a platform for construction of the
pavement
support the pavement without undue
deflection that would impact the
pavement’s performance.
