Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement – Characteristics, Construction, and Comparison

Continuously reinforced concrete pavement is a jointless concrete pavement continuously reinforced throughout the pavement length in the longitudinal direction to control cracking without the aid of weekend transverse joint. CRCP has all the good features of concrete pavement such as ...
Types of Base for Pavement Construction

The construction of the base or sub-base for the pavement construction is dependent on the type of base chosen and the equipment available. In this article, some of the top base and subbase layers used for pavement construction are explained. ...
Difficulties in Soil Stabilization for Road Construction

Soil stabilization is the method of improving soil properties by adding suitable stabilizers to it. It is very important to achieve the required strength for the soil, especially in road construction projects where an unstable base can lead to the ...
Flexible Pavement Composition and Structure

The composition and structure of flexible pavement consists of surface course, binder course, base course, subbase course, frost protection course, subgrade. Flexible pavements contain bitumen or asphalt layer as wearing course and supports loads through bearing. They have low flexural strength. ...
