  2. Subbase (pavement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subbase_(pavement)

    Layers in the construction of a mortarless pavement: A.) Subgrade B.) Subbase C.) Base course D.) Paver base E.) Pavers F.) Fine-grained sand. In highway engineering, subbase is the layer of aggregate material laid on the subgrade, on which the base course layer is located. It may be omitted when there will be only foot traffic on the pavement ...

  3. Paver base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paver_base

    Paver base is a form of aggregate used in the construction of patios and walkways whose topmost layer consists of mortarless (or "dry-laid") pavers. The first layer in the construction of such a surface is called the subgrade—this is the layer of native material underneath the intended surface. It is usually compacted and stabilized.

    Class 3 Road Base Layers in the construction of a mortarless pavement: A. Subgrade B. Subbase C. Base course D. Paver base as binder course E. Pavers as wearing course F. Fine-grained sand. The base course or basecourse in pavements is a layer of material in an asphalt roadway, race track, riding arena, or sporting field.

  6. Rubblization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubblization

    Rubblization is a construction and engineering technique that involves saving time and transportation costs by reducing existing concrete into rubble at its current location rather than hauling it to another location. Rubblization has two primary applications: creating a base for new roadways and decommissioning nuclear power plants.

  7. Highway engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_engineering

    Highway engineering (also known as roadway engineering and street engineering) is a professional engineering discipline branching from the civil engineering subdiscipline of transportation engineering that involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of roads, highways, streets, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and effective transportation of people and goods.

    Layers in the construction of a mortarless pavement: A) Subgrade B) Subbase C) Base course D) Paver base E) Pavers F) Fine-grained sand. In transport engineering, subgrade is the native material underneath a constructed road.

  9. Pavement engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_engineering

    Pavement engineering is a branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to design and maintain flexible and rigid pavements. This includes streets and highways and involves knowledge of soils , hydraulics , and material properties.
