What are the critical factos affecting the watertightness of a concrete structure? Under what circumstances are variation order issued? What is most important to ensure safety? What is the function of the Su-base Course? Ans: The sub-base course is between the base course and the subgrade, It functions primarily as structural support but it can also: 1. 2. 3. 4. minimize the instruction of fines from the subgrade into the pavement structure. improve drainage minimize frost action damage provide a working platform for construction

The subbase generally consists of lower quality material than the base course but better than the subgrade soil. A subbase course is not always needed or used. For example, a pavement constructed over a high quality, stiff subgrade may not need the additional

features offered by a subbase course so it may be omitted from design. However, a pavement constructed over a low quality soil such as swelling clay may require the additional load distribution characteristic that a subbase course can offer. In this scenario te subbase course may consist of high quality fill used to replace poor quality subgrade.
