full-depth asphalt pavement

Full-depth asphalt pavement is a road construction method where the entire thickness of the pavement is made entirely of asphalt material, without any underlying layers like concrete. This approach typically involves placing multiple layers of asphalt that provide strength, durability, and smoothness, suitable for high traffic volumes and heavy loads. It is often used for flexible pavements, allowing for some movement and expansion due to temperature changes. Full-depth asphalt offers benefits like easier repairs, faster construction, and cost-effectiveness, making it a common choice for highways, roads, and parking lots where long-lasting performance is desired.
