Questions and Answers
Types of Pavement Systems include Flexible Pavements, Rigid Pavements, Semi Rigid Pavements, and Composite Pavements.
Flexible Pavement typically consists of Tack Coat, Surface Course, Prime Coat, Binder or Intermediate Course, Base Course, Subbase Course, and Compacted Subgrade. The Surface Course is made of superior quality material such as fine asphalt mix and provides smoothness, friction, and drainage. It resists ______ under traffic loading and provides waterproofing.
