Max. thickness for AC pavement layer
Max. thickness for AC pavement layer
(OP)
Hi, do you have any references about the maximum thickness of the Asphalt-cement layer for flexible pavements? Is it based on the size of the aggregates? Thanks !!





RE: Max. thickness for AC pavement layer
While there is no true limitation on total maximum thickness of asphalt, it is limited by cost. We try to optimize the design to reduce the total asphalt thickness for cost savings.
For constructability, each layer of asphalt placed is usually limited to a maximum of 3 inches at a time so that the mat does not cool too quickly and compaction to its full thickness can be achieved without shoving and stretching the asphalt during placement.
