| Abstract: |
Material characterization is an essential part of pavement design procedure. Subgrade characterization will ensure proper foundation support for the pavement. On the other hand, base/subbase materials provide structural capacity to the pavement. Therefore, both subgrade and base/subbase materials characterization is needed to design adequate pavement structure for design traffic. |
