a. Function of Sub base in Road Cross Section. It enables traffic stresses to be reduced to acceptable levels in sub-grade in the Road Cross Section so that excessive deformation is prevented. It acts as a working plate form for the construction of upper pavement layers. Acts as a drainage layer, by protecting the sub grade from wetting up.

Millions of tons of graded aggregate base (GAB) materials are used in construction of highway base layers in Maryland due to their satisfactory mechanical properties. The fines content of a GAB material is highly variable and is often related to crushing process, stockpiling in the quarry, transportation and during construction at the site.

Road construction techniques were gradually improved by the study of road traffic, stone thickness, road alignment, and slope gradients, developing to use stones that were laid in a regular, compact design, and covered with smaller stones to produce a solid layer . Modern roads tend to be constructed using asphalt and/or concrete .

In highway engineering, subbase is the layer of aggregate material laid on the subgrade, on which the base course layer is located. It may be omitted when there will be only foot traffic on the pavement, but it is necessary for surfaces used by vehicles. Subbase is often the main load-bearing layer of the pavement.Its role is to spread the load evenly over the subgrade.
