Pavement Thickness Surface Evenness and Construction Practice

摘要

The structural performance and the riding quality of a road are strongly influenced by the accurate and uniform laying of the pavement materials to the appropriate design thickness. The report describes an investigation into the effectiveness of level-control procedures currently used in road construction to achieve the required thicknesses and surface regularity. Measurements of surface profile and of thickness of pavement were made, during construction, on 38 randomly selected 100-metre lengths from two flexible and three rigid roads.
