What are the differences between capping layer and sub-base?

In order to save cost for sub-base which is relatively expensive, the concept of capping layer is introduced in which capping materials of cheap but strong nature are used to cap the weak subgrade. In this way, the thickness of expensive subgrade is not required to be increased. Crushed gravels and rockfill may be suitable options of capping ...

Base Information

A range of machinery will be needed to construct the base. An excavator will be used to dig down to the correct sub soil material. Your contractor might also bring in a bulldozer for more rapid earth moving. A roller will be used on multiple layers: sub-base, aggregate, stone dust, final footing. The roller should be between 10-15 tons.

Granular Sub Base Construction and Quality Control

Granular Sub Base(GSB) is a natural or designed construction material used as a sub-base layer for road construction. Granular Sub Base is a layer in the road foundation just above the compacted sub-grade layer. GSB or granular sub base prevents capillary water from rising; its particle size is so designed that the capillary action stops and ...

Reclaimed Concrete Material Used as Base or Fill

RCM is most often used as aggregate in a base or subbase course. Although it is generally of high enough quality to be used as base material, RCM can also be used for lesser applications like embankment or fill material. Since RCM is a crushed material, the angular aggregates will provide excellent stiffness and load transfer capability.
