Subgrade and subbase are the foundation of a concrete slab and play critical role in its performance. According to the ACI Code, the subgrade is a compacted and improved natural soil or brought infill whereas subbase …

Subbase vs. Base (AASHTO Design Guide) The granular Subbase is supposed to be a lower quality material than the granular base. b) Layer coefficient a3 for a granular Subbase with CBR 30% is 0.11 (Part II, Table 2.7). Hence a granular Subbase with same thickness and same CBR would create a higher SN than a granular Base …

The ideal subbase is strong, uniform, and free draining. Strength is derived from the distribution of particle sizes or gradation of the material and its placement. Uniformity is attained by the manufacturing process or stockpiling of the material.

What is a Base or Subbase? In a pavement structure, the granular base and subbase are compacted aggregate layers between the asphalt concrete or the Portland cement …

Granular subbase is also dense graded, but tends to be somewhat more coarse than granular base. The requirement for crushed content for granular subbase is not required by many agencies, although provision of 100 percent crushed aggregates for base and subbase use is increasing in premium pavement structures to promote rutting …

Granular Sub Base (GSB) Agg are used below base coarse & above subgrade layer is known subbase layer, due to granular crushed agg its called granular subbase. Functions GSB act as a load bearing & strengthing component of pavement. GSB reducing to stresses applied on subgrade layer.

When Granular Subbase is substituted for Subgrade on shoulders, achieve a minimum of 95% density of the maximum density as determined under AASHTO FM 1 T-180, Method D. 290-4 Thickness Requirements. 290-4.1 General: Do not substitute granular subbase materials in excess of the tolerance specified for the asphalt portion of the optional base.

Type 1 Sub Base is generally a 40mm graded to dust material that is laid and compacted to form a level stable construction layer as a platform for asphalt or concrete. It is typically used in the construction of highways, car parks, footways and hard standing areas. Additional info

GSB :- Granular sub base or GSB is a typical layer adopted in highway construction, which is laid above the subgrade and below the crust materials. Naturally available material consisting of various grades may be used for GSB, the largest grain size up to 65mm. In modern highway construction, engineers like it to be crushed stone …

Granular Subbase: Drainable material that provides no strength. Select Backfill: Provides strength but no drainage. Special Backfill: Provides strength but only limited drainage. Modified Subbase: Provides both strength and drainage. Driving is prohibited on Granular Subbase but is allowed on Modified Subbase and Special Backfill.

This specification covers the requirements for granular aggregate materials for use in subgrade, subbase, base, gravel surface course, shouldering and bedding and backfill to sewers, culverts, and other structures. 1010.01.01 Specification Significance and Use This specification is written as a provincial-oriented specification.

Subsequently, two experimental roads were constructed in New Mexico in about 1960, consisting of a 76-mm (3-in.) asphalt concrete surfacing, 152-mm (6-in.) granular base, and a 152-mm (6-in.) granular subbase …

Some of the subbase material used for construction are recycled concrete, granular fill. manufactured aggregate, lean concrete, recycled materials like brick or concrete materials, and crushed rock. A subbase layer: Impart strength and support to overlying pavement Help workers to stay out of mud Improved drainage and frost …

Type 1 Sub Base is generally a 40mm graded to dust material that is laid and compacted to form a level stable construction layer as a platform for asphalt or concrete. It is typically used in the construction of highways, …

Granular Sub Base is a layer in the road foundation just above the compacted sub-grade layer. GSB or granular sub base prevents capillary water from rising; its particle size is so designed that the capillary action …

granular base and subbase courses, and to develop more appropriate new or revised procedures and criteria. Major emphasis during the early stages of the research was placed on accumu-lation and analysis of information on current practices of state highway depart-ments. Personnel of 30 highway departments were interviewed by project personnel

Granular subbase aggregates consist of durable particles of crushed stone or gravel capable of withstanding the effects of handling, spreading, and compacting without generation of deleterious fines. Gradation: Aggregates used as subbase tend to be dense-graded with a nominal maximum size, commonly up to 1 1/2 inches.

The Engineer may allow, at no additional cost to the Department, the substitution of 6 inches [150 mm] of Granular Subbase meeting the requirements of Section 290, when 12 inches [300 mm] of Type B Stabilization requiring an LBR value of 40 is specified. 160-3 …
