An ideal pavement should meet the following requirements:
- Sufficient thickness to distribute the wheel load stresses to a safe
value on the sub-grade soil,
- Structurally strong to withstand all types of stresses imposed upon it,
- Adequate coefficient of friction to prevent skidding of vehicles,
- Smooth surface to provide comfort to road users even at high speed,
- Produce least noise from moving vehicles,
- Dust proof surface so that traffic safety is not impaired by reducing
visibility,
- Impervious surface, so that sub-grade soil is well protected, and
- Long design life with low maintenance cost.
