A thicker pavement layer distributes stress over a larger area enabling the subgrade to withstand larger loads or a higher number of repetitive loads This load distribution by the pavement layer is very important because most subgrade materials will not have sufficient strength to carry a large number of heavy axle loads applied directly

A layer of granular material provided in between the subgrade and the base course in a road pavement is known as a sub base It is provided as an additional layer when the subgrade is of poor quality It consists of a layer of comparatively cheaper material like burnt clinker natural gravel or slag 3 Base Course

Because the grading of the material in a capping layer doesn t need to be particularly tightly controlled the material can usually be sourced locally This means that capping layers are usually relatively cheap to install They are constructed by Laying a relatively thin layer of material max 250mm Thoroughly compacting the layer
