Types of Flexible Pavements.
By
Dr. Biswajit Mukherjee, Professor NIT.
• Types of Flexible Pavements
• The following types of construction have been used in flexible pavement:
• Conventional layered flexible pavement,
• Full - depth asphalt pavement, and
• Contained rock asphalt mat (CRAM).
• Conventional flexible pavements are layered systems with high quality expensive
materials are placed in the top where stresses are high, and low quality cheap
materials are placed in lower layers.
• Full - depth asphalt pavements are constructed by placing bituminous layers
directly on the soil sub-grade. This is more suitable when there is high traffic and
local materials are not available.
• Contained rock asphalt mats are constructed by placing dense/open graded
aggregate layers in between two asphalt layers. Modified dense graded asphalt
concrete is placed above the sub-grade will significantly reduce the vertical
compressive strain on soil sub-grade and protect from surface water.
Typical cross section of a flexible pavement
• Typical layers of a flexible pavement
• Typical layers of a conventional flexible pavement includes seal coat, surface
course, tack coat, binder course, prime coat, base course, sub-base course,
compacted sub-grade, and natural sub-grade.
• Seal Coat:
• Seal coat is a thin surface treatment used to water-proof the surface and to
provide skid resistance.
• Tack Coat:
• Tack coat is a very light application of asphalt, usually asphalt emulsion diluted
with water. It provides proper bonding between two layer of binder course
and must be thin, uniformly cover the entire surface, and set very fast.
• Prime Coat:
• Prime coat is an application of low viscous cutback bitumen to an absorbent
surface like granular bases on which binder layer is placed. It provides bonding
between two layers. Unlike tack coat, prime coat penetrates into the layer
below, plugs the voids, and forms a water tight surface.
• Surface course
• Surface course is the layer directly in contact with traffic loads and generally contains
superior quality materials. They are usually constructed with dense graded asphalt
concrete(AC). The functions and requirements of this layer are:
(a) It provides characteristics such as friction, smoothness, drainage, etc.
(b) Also it will prevent the entrance of excessive quantities of surface water into the
underlying base, sub-base and sub-grade,
• It must be tough to resist the distortion under traffic and provide a smooth and skid-
resistant riding surface,
• It must be water proof to protect the entire base and sub-grade from the weakening
effect of water.
• Binder course
• This layer provides the bulk of the asphalt concrete structure. It's chief purpose is to
distribute load to the base course The binder course generally consists of aggregates
having less asphalt and doesn't require quality as high as the surface course, so replacing
a part of the surface course by the binder course results in more economical design.
• Base course
• The base course is the layer of material immediately beneath the surface of binder course
and it provides additional load distribution and contributes to the sub-surface drainage It
may be composed of crushed stone, crushed slag, and other untreated or stabilized
materials.
• Sub-Base course
• The sub-base course is the layer of material beneath the base course and the primary
functions are to provide structural support, improve drainage, and reduce the intrusion of
fines from the sub-grade in the pavement structure. If the base course is open graded,
then the sub-base course with more fines can serve as a filler between sub-grade and the
base course. A sub-base course is not always needed or used. For example, a pavement
constructed over a high quality, stiff sub-grade may not need the additional features
offered by a sub-base course. In such situations, sub-base course may not be provided.
• Sub-grade
• The top soil or sub-grade is a layer of natural soil prepared to receive the stresses from the
layers above. It is essential that at no time soil sub-grade is overstressed. It should be
compacted to the desirable density, near the optimum moisture content.
• Failure of flexible pavements:
• Different types of failure encountered in flexible pavements are as follow.
• Alligator cracking or Map cracking (Fatigue)
• Consolidation of pavement layers (Rutting)
• Shear failure cracking
• Longitudinal cracking
• Frost heaving
• Lack of binding to the lower course
• Reflection cracking
• Formation of waves and corrugation
• Bleeding
• Pumping
• The major flexible pavement failures are fatigue cracking or Alligator or Map cracking,
rutting, and thermal cracking. The fatigue cracking of flexible pavement is due to
horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of the asphaltic concrete. The failure criterion
relates allowable number of load repetitions to tensile strain and this relation can be
determined in the laboratory fatigue test on asphaltic concrete specimens.
• A rut is a depression or groove worn into a road by the travel of wheels. Rutting occurs
only on flexible pavements as indicated by permanent deformation or rut depth along
wheel load path. Repeated application of load along the same wheel path
resulting longitudinal ruts. Wearing of the surface course along the wheel path
resulting shallow ruts. Two design methods have been used to control rutting: one to
limit the vertical compressive strain on the top of subgrade and other to limit rutting to a
tolerable amount (12 mm normally).
• SHEAR FAILURE CRACKING: Shear failure causes upheaval of pavement material by forming a
fracture or cracking. Followings are the primary causes of shear failure cracking.
• Excessive wheel loading
• Low shearing resistance of pavement mixture.
• Longitudinal Cracking: This types of cracks extents to the full thickness of
pavement. The following are the primary causes of longitudinal cracking.
• Differential volume changes in subgrade soil
• Settlement of fill materials
• Sliding of side slopes
• Frost heaving causes upheaval of localized portion of a pavement. The
extent of frost heaving depends upon the ground water table and climatic
condition. Lack of binding to the lower course is when there is lack of
binding between surface course and underlying layer, some portion of
surface course looses up materials creating patches and potholes.
Slippage cracking is one form of this type of failure. Lack of prime coat or
tack coat in between two layers is the primary reason behind this type of
failure.
• REFLECTION CRACKING: This type of failure occurs, when bituminous surface
course is laid over the existing cement concrete pavement with some cracks.
This crack is reflected in the same pattern on bituminous surface.
• FORMATION OF WAVES & CORRUGATION: Transverse undulations appear at
regular intervals due to the unstable surface course caused by stop-and-go
traffic.
• BLEEDING: Excess bituminous binder occurring on the pavement surface
causes bleeding. Bleeding causes a shiny, glass-like, reflective surface that
may be tacky to the touch. Usually found in the wheel paths.
• Pumping: Seeping or ejection of water and fines from beneath the pavement
through cracks is called pumping.

Types of Flexible Pavements

  • 1. Subject: Pavement Design Module -2. Types of Flexible Pavements. By Dr. Biswajit Mukherjee, Professor NIT.
  • 2. • Types of Flexible Pavements • The following types of construction have been used in flexible pavement: • Conventional layered flexible pavement, • Full - depth asphalt pavement, and • Contained rock asphalt mat (CRAM). • Conventional flexible pavements are layered systems with high quality expensive materials are placed in the top where stresses are high, and low quality cheap materials are placed in lower layers. • Full - depth asphalt pavements are constructed by placing bituminous layers directly on the soil sub-grade. This is more suitable when there is high traffic and local materials are not available. • Contained rock asphalt mats are constructed by placing dense/open graded aggregate layers in between two asphalt layers. Modified dense graded asphalt concrete is placed above the sub-grade will significantly reduce the vertical compressive strain on soil sub-grade and protect from surface water.
  • 3. Typical cross section of a flexible pavement
  • 4. • Typical layers of a flexible pavement • Typical layers of a conventional flexible pavement includes seal coat, surface course, tack coat, binder course, prime coat, base course, sub-base course, compacted sub-grade, and natural sub-grade. • Seal Coat: • Seal coat is a thin surface treatment used to water-proof the surface and to provide skid resistance. • Tack Coat: • Tack coat is a very light application of asphalt, usually asphalt emulsion diluted with water. It provides proper bonding between two layer of binder course and must be thin, uniformly cover the entire surface, and set very fast. • Prime Coat: • Prime coat is an application of low viscous cutback bitumen to an absorbent surface like granular bases on which binder layer is placed. It provides bonding between two layers. Unlike tack coat, prime coat penetrates into the layer below, plugs the voids, and forms a water tight surface.
  • 5. • Surface course • Surface course is the layer directly in contact with traffic loads and generally contains superior quality materials. They are usually constructed with dense graded asphalt concrete(AC). The functions and requirements of this layer are: (a) It provides characteristics such as friction, smoothness, drainage, etc. (b) Also it will prevent the entrance of excessive quantities of surface water into the underlying base, sub-base and sub-grade, • It must be tough to resist the distortion under traffic and provide a smooth and skid- resistant riding surface, • It must be water proof to protect the entire base and sub-grade from the weakening effect of water. • Binder course • This layer provides the bulk of the asphalt concrete structure. It's chief purpose is to distribute load to the base course The binder course generally consists of aggregates having less asphalt and doesn't require quality as high as the surface course, so replacing a part of the surface course by the binder course results in more economical design.
  • 6. • Base course • The base course is the layer of material immediately beneath the surface of binder course and it provides additional load distribution and contributes to the sub-surface drainage It may be composed of crushed stone, crushed slag, and other untreated or stabilized materials. • Sub-Base course • The sub-base course is the layer of material beneath the base course and the primary functions are to provide structural support, improve drainage, and reduce the intrusion of fines from the sub-grade in the pavement structure. If the base course is open graded, then the sub-base course with more fines can serve as a filler between sub-grade and the base course. A sub-base course is not always needed or used. For example, a pavement constructed over a high quality, stiff sub-grade may not need the additional features offered by a sub-base course. In such situations, sub-base course may not be provided. • Sub-grade • The top soil or sub-grade is a layer of natural soil prepared to receive the stresses from the layers above. It is essential that at no time soil sub-grade is overstressed. It should be compacted to the desirable density, near the optimum moisture content.
  • 7. • Failure of flexible pavements: • Different types of failure encountered in flexible pavements are as follow. • Alligator cracking or Map cracking (Fatigue) • Consolidation of pavement layers (Rutting) • Shear failure cracking • Longitudinal cracking • Frost heaving • Lack of binding to the lower course • Reflection cracking • Formation of waves and corrugation • Bleeding • Pumping
  • 8. • The major flexible pavement failures are fatigue cracking or Alligator or Map cracking, rutting, and thermal cracking. The fatigue cracking of flexible pavement is due to horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of the asphaltic concrete. The failure criterion relates allowable number of load repetitions to tensile strain and this relation can be determined in the laboratory fatigue test on asphaltic concrete specimens. • A rut is a depression or groove worn into a road by the travel of wheels. Rutting occurs only on flexible pavements as indicated by permanent deformation or rut depth along wheel load path. Repeated application of load along the same wheel path resulting longitudinal ruts. Wearing of the surface course along the wheel path resulting shallow ruts. Two design methods have been used to control rutting: one to limit the vertical compressive strain on the top of subgrade and other to limit rutting to a tolerable amount (12 mm normally). • SHEAR FAILURE CRACKING: Shear failure causes upheaval of pavement material by forming a fracture or cracking. Followings are the primary causes of shear failure cracking. • Excessive wheel loading • Low shearing resistance of pavement mixture.
  • 9.
  • 10. • Longitudinal Cracking: This types of cracks extents to the full thickness of pavement. The following are the primary causes of longitudinal cracking. • Differential volume changes in subgrade soil • Settlement of fill materials • Sliding of side slopes • Frost heaving causes upheaval of localized portion of a pavement. The extent of frost heaving depends upon the ground water table and climatic condition. Lack of binding to the lower course is when there is lack of binding between surface course and underlying layer, some portion of surface course looses up materials creating patches and potholes. Slippage cracking is one form of this type of failure. Lack of prime coat or tack coat in between two layers is the primary reason behind this type of failure.
  • 11. • REFLECTION CRACKING: This type of failure occurs, when bituminous surface course is laid over the existing cement concrete pavement with some cracks. This crack is reflected in the same pattern on bituminous surface. • FORMATION OF WAVES & CORRUGATION: Transverse undulations appear at regular intervals due to the unstable surface course caused by stop-and-go traffic. • BLEEDING: Excess bituminous binder occurring on the pavement surface causes bleeding. Bleeding causes a shiny, glass-like, reflective surface that may be tacky to the touch. Usually found in the wheel paths. • Pumping: Seeping or ejection of water and fines from beneath the pavement through cracks is called pumping.
