Pavement thickness, width and Roads type should vary based on the intended function of the paved area. 2 Residential Streets 3 Collector Roads Pavement Thickness 4 Arterial roads 5 Freeways, Expressways, Interstates Pavement thickness is determined by four factors: environment, traffic, base characteristics and the pavement material used. Based on the above classes, pavement thickness ranges from 3" for a Class 1 parking lot, to 10" or more for Class 5 freeways. Environmental factors such as moisture and temperature significantly affect pavement. For example, as soil moisture Sub grade strength has the greatest effect in determining increases the load bearing capacity of the soil decreases and the pavement thickness. As a general rule, weaker sub grades require soil can heave and swell. Temperature also effects the load thicker asphalt layers to adequately bear different loads associated bearing capacity of pavements. When the moisture in pavement with different uses. The bearing capacity and permeability of the freezes and thaws, it creates stress leading to pavement heaving. sub grade influences total pavement thickness. There are actually The detrimental effects of moisture can be reduced or eliminated two or three separate layers or courses below the paved wearing by: keeping it from entering the pavement base, removing it before surface including: the sub grade, sub base and base.

  • Extruded Brick Product Profile
    PRODUCT PROFILE Revised 1/2019 Glen-Gery Extruded Brick General Glen-Gery manufactures many sizes of extruded bricks in a multitude of shades and textures to accommodate the visual requirements of most projects. The more popular extruded bricks have a nominal four inch bed depth. These extruded units are often referred to as cored, stiff mud, or wirecut bricks. To differentiate between wirecut bricks and wirecut finishes, Glen-Gery refers to the wirecut finish as a velour texture. Unit Specifications Glen-Gery extruded bricks are typically manufactured to conform to the requirements of American Society for Brick Positions in a Wall Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Specification C 216, Grade SW, Type FBS and all grades of ASTM C 62. In Stretcher Rowlock some instances brick are manufactured to conform to ASTM C652 which includes increased core volume. These products also conform to the requirements of ASTM C 216, Grade MW. Certain Header products meet the requirements of ASTM C 216, Type FBX, ASTM C 902, ASTM C 652, or ASTM C 32. Inquiries should be made for specific applications or conformance to standards other than ASTM C 216 or C 62. When specifying this product, the specifications should cite: Soldier 1) The product name and state “as manufactured by Glen-Gery Corporation.” Sailor Rowlock Stretcher 2) Conformance to the requirements of the appropriate standard, (typically, ASTM C 216 or C652). 3) The actual unit dimensions listed as thickness x height x length. Example: Glenrose Battlefield as manu - factured by Glen-Gery Corporation to conform to the requirements of ASTM C 216, Grade SW, Type FBS.
