Abstract:The majority of state roads in Florida are built using asphalt concrete surfaces. They are constructed in layers. The bottom layer consists of the native soil. The top layer is the surface course, or pavement. It is built upon one or more intermediate layers: these are the base and stabilized subgrade layers. The stiffness of the aggregates (i.e., materials) used and the thicknesses of the layers help to determine the performance and service life of the road. The better the quality of materials and the thicker the layers, the longer the service life, but the more expensive the construction costs.
