Pavement grants friction for the vehicles thus providing comfort to the driver and transfers the traffic load from the upper surface to the natural soil. * Pavement construction begins by properly grading and preparing the site aggregate subbase and base course which are topped with the finish pavement.Basic Components 1. Subgrade: * It is the soil layer beneath the pavement which bears the design load, receives infiltration water, and is subject to ground water infusion due to seasonal fluctuations or upward capillary migration. Subgrade bearing capacity, uniformity, and permeability are key factors in determining various pavement layers thickness.
