Concept of Ancient Roads
(5000 years ago)
Pavement Structure:
Stone –paved roads made of one or two rows of
slabs 50 mm thick in central portion….,
Roman Roads
Level subgrade
Large foundation stones of thickness 17-22cm
Two layers of angular broken stones compacted
thickness of 10-15cm
Lime mortar concrete instead of kerb stones at
pavement edges
Top wearing coarse of 4cm thick gravel as
binding layer
MODERN ROADS
(17th & 18th Century)
MACADAM ROAD (1827)
CROSS-SECTION
TELFORD ROAD (1803)
1) Empirical
2) Mechanistic ( Theoretical , Analytical, Structural)
3) Mechanistic-Empirical
