Get PriceThe base layer forms the foundation for the road surface The bottom layer essentially comprises an unbound mixture of coarse and fine crushed stone as well as crushed sand to achieve the desired load bearing capacity and absorb traffic loads so that the underlying subgrade is not deformed The base course serves as a foundation for the paving
Get PriceSoil testing is a very important part of building and road construction In fact no construction project can proceed without first making sure the soil can support the load The samples are then placed in the Proctor compaction mold in three different layers Each layer is then given 25 blows from a standard 5 5 pound hammer
