The document discusses subgrade and sub-base considerations for concrete pavement design. Subgrade materials like well-drained soils or unique site features impact the structural strategy. Well-drained soils are ideal for construction due to permeability and bearing capacity. The subgrade is the native material under a constructed load, while the sub-base is an optional gravel layer above the subgrade that provides minor structural support for concrete pavement compared to the base.

Pavement Subgrade Well-drained or clay subsoil, rooftop gardens or other unique site subgrade features play a significant role in determining a structural pavement design strategy. Well-drained soils are idea for construction with regard to permeability and bearing capacity. Subgrade Isa native material underneath a constructed load, pavement or railway track. It is also called formation level. Sub-base In rigid pavement, the structural support provided by the sub-base layer is insignificant as the major portion of the structural capacity is taken by the concrete base. Sub-base
