General Consideration

Posted by aditya | 3:53 PM | | 3 comments »

Engineers have been always with open mind to adopt any material available to them for its use for the construction purposes. Research facilities at hand help them to judge the suitability of the materials. It is logical to see that the purpose of highway construction is to provide a firm and even surface for the carriageway or the pavement which could stand the distress caused due to number of load applications. Hence the pavement is prepared using broken stones, or soil (for stabilized soil) and binder material to bind the aggregates to form a homogeneous pavement section.
