- Portland Cement Concrete (PCC): Made of cement, water, and aggregates, it is strong, durable, and resistant to heavy traffic. - Asphalt Concrete Overlay on PCC: A thin layer of asphalt concrete is placed on top of PCC to improve ride quality and reduce noise.
Flexible Pavements:
- Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA): Made of asphalt binder, aggregates, and additives, it is heated and compacted to form a dense, flexible layer. - Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA): Similar to HMA, but produced at lower temperatures, reducing emissions and energy consumption. - Cold Mix Asphalt (CMA): Mixed with liquid asphalt emulsion at ambient temperatures, making it convenient for repairs and patching. - Open-Graded Friction Course (OGFC): A porous asphalt mixture with a high void content, providing excellent drainage and skid resistance. - Asphalt Rubber: Contains recycled rubber particles, improving durability and flexibility.
Composite Pavements:
- Cementitious Composite Pavements (CCP): A combination of PCC and asphalt layers, providing both strength and flexibility. - Ultra-Thin Whitetopping (UTW): A thin layer of PCC placed over an asphalt base, offering increased durability and reduced noise.
Other Types:
- Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP): A modular system of porous concrete blocks, allowing rainwater to infiltrate the ground. - Brick Pavements: Historic and decorative, made of clay or concrete bricks. - Stone Pavements: Utilize natural stone materials such as granite or limestone, providing durability and a rustic appearance. - Grasscrete: A combination of concrete and grass, offering stability and drainage while maintaining a green surface. - Chipseal: A surface treatment involving applying asphalt emulsion and spreading stone chips, providing a cost-effective and skid-resistant solution.
