About the research

Research objective: This research project is intended to demonstrate the effective use of a lower quality of aggregate in the lower layer of the 2-lift paving and the effect of using higher quality material and texturing techniques in the upper layer. The cost effectiveness of using a variety of aggregates on the project will be documented.
