Flexible Pavement
Asphalt
Pavement.
Consist of thin wearing surface
asphalt built over a base and
subbase course that are usually
gravel or stone.
The major factor considered in the
design is the combined strength of
layers.

Pavement
Densed-Graded
A well-graded HMA Mixture intended for
general use.
Relatively impermeable if properly
design and constructed.
With its nominal maximum aggregate
size, it can be defined either finedgraded or coursed-graded.
