WEARING COURSE

The wearing course is the upper layer in roadway, airfield, and dockyard
construction. The term 'surface course' is sometimes used, however this term is
slightly different as it can be used to describe very thin surface layers such as chip
seal. In rigid pavements the upper layer is a portland cement concrete slab. In flexible
pavements, the upper layer consists of asphalt concrete, that is a construction
aggregate with a bituminous binder. The wearing course is typically placed on the
binder course which is then laid on the base course, which is normally placed on the
subbase, which rests on the subgrade. There are various different types of flexible
pavement wearing course, suitable for different situations.

In this situation, my friends and I design/fix a road between (….) and (….)
which can hold the traffic approximately (….) vehicle/hour.
From the road pavement analysis, to hold that traffic, the road that we design
must have surface layer with … cm in thickness. As we know, the road is in the
(kondisi tanahnya gimana, si CBR berapa), and it designed for collector/arterial road.
So we choose asphalt concrete wearing course for this road.
