3. Composite pavement techniques
3.1 BAC/GB3 composite pavement
3.1.1 What is a Continuous Reinforced Concrete on Bituminous Gravel composite pavement?
This is a two-layer structure:
BAC Continuous Reinforced Concrete cladding;
a GB3 bitumen gravel sub-base.
It is laid on a support platform with a bearing capacity equal to or greater than PF3 (120 < EV2 ≤ 200 MPa). As there are no transverse shrinkage joints, the concrete pavement...
