· Types of Pavement. Flexible pavements: Those which are surfaced with bituminous (or asphalt) materials. These types of pavements are called “flexible” since the total pavement structure “bends” or “deflects” due to traffic loads. Rigid pavements: Those which are surfaced with portland cement concrete (PCC).

The base layer forms the foundation for the road surface. The bottom layer essentially comprises an unbound mixture of coarse and fine crushed stone, as well as crushed sand, to achieve the desired load-bearing capacity and absorb traffic loads so that the underlying subgrade is not deformed. The base course serves as a foundation for the paving.

· Types of Bitumen Used in Road Construction. A flexible pavement consists of main layers and sub layers. Different pure bitumen and liquid bitumen can be used in these layers. The main layers are surface course, base course and sub base course. The sub layers that are placed between the main layers to stick them together
