3. Preperation of Sub-grade
Subgrades are commonly compacted before the construction of a road, pavement or
railway track, and are sometimes stabilized by the addition of asphalt, lime, portland
cement or other modifiers. The subgrade is the foundation of the pavement structure,
on which the subbase is laid.
Preparation of the subgrade for construction usually involves digging, in order to
remove surface vegetation, topsoil and other unwanted material, and to create space
for the upper layer of the pavement. This process is known as "subgrade formation"
or "reduction to level".
