Function of Road Base and Base Course Road base is the most important structural layer in bituminous pavement. It is designed to take up the function of distributing the traffic loads so as not to exceed the bearing capacity of subgrade. In addition it helps to provide sufficient resistance to
A system that allows detection of thermal segregation in the asphalt mat in real time and records a thermal profile is now being used by some state Departments of Transportation. The reason is
