With this process, there’s no external heating involved. Asphalt concrete’s pavement structure typically has three main layers: the base layer, the intermediate layer and the surface layer.

The numerical calculation index and theoretical analysis results show that the treatment depth of subgrade soil has a significant influence on the stresses in an asphalt pavement structure and the ...

Chip seals are not intended to add any structural life to an asphalt pavement as they do strengthen the surface them or increase the load-bearing capacity. Chip seals are also not designed to ...

Pavement engineering and science at the University of Nevada, Reno is a nationally recognized teaching, research and training program. Faculty and student researchers focus on developing innovative ...

The city of Springfield will resurface approximately 16 miles of roadways this spring as part of Springfield Public Works’ ...

Sealing cured asphalt can help the pavement resist oxidation from the ... mitigates water and other chemical penetration. It has no structural strength of its own and will need to be reapplied ...

Asphalt has a relatively smaller surface area of subgrade compared to a wider surface area for reinforced concrete. The subgrade is the material underneath the pavement structure. Flexible ...
