Inverted pavement is an unconventional type of flexible pavement structure. In this pavement structure, an unbound aggregate base (UAB) with a low initial modulus is sandwiched (layered) between two stiffer layers, a thinner asphalt concrete layer (AC) and a cement-treated base layer (CTB). This type of pavement structure has been a potential alter
