Pavement SubgradePavement Subgrade

Subgrade performance generally depends on two interrelated characteristics:

– Load bearing capacity which is affected by degree of

• Moisture

• Compaction

• Soil type

– Volume changes (expansive soils, freeze/thaw cycles)

– % Passing No. 200 

– Gradation (sands and gravels)
