What is a Pavement?
OR
?
Highway pavement is a structure 
consisting of superimposed layers of 
selected and processed materials whose 
primary function is to distribute the 
applied vehicle load to the sub grade.
OR
?
It can also be defined as “structure 
which separates the tires of vehicles 
from the under lying foundation.”

Functions of the Pavement
?
Reduce and distribute the traffic loading so 
as not to damage the subgrade
?
– Provide vehicle access between two 
points under all-weather conditions
?
– Provide safe, smooth and comfortable 
ride to road users without undue delays and 
excessive wear & tear
?
– Meet environmental and aesthetics 
requirement
?
– Limited noise and air pollution
?
– Reasonable economy
