Materials
Material properties must optimize all weather performance
Optimize materials by processing depth/adding new material
Numerous specifications available worldwide, performance based are most useful
Performance dependent on:
Particle size distribution
Plasticity (clay content)
Strength (bearing capacity)
Aggregate hardness
