Composite pavement is defined as a structure made up of multiple layers with different compositions, typically combining a rigid lower layer and a flexible surface layer. The flexible asphalt concrete surface is designed for functions such as friction resistance, wear resistance, and environmental protection. This pavement structure enhances durability and performance under traffic conditions.

- 1. What is meant by composite pavement ? What is meant by composite pavement ? Solution COMPOSITE PAVEMENT STRUCTURE IS DEFINED AS A STRUCTURE COMPRISING MULTIPLE, STRUCTURALLY SIGNIFICANT, LAYERS OF DIFFERENT, SOMETIMES HETEROGENEOUS COMPOSITION. It is a pavement which is constructed with a rigid pavement as the lower layer and a flexible pavement surfacing or wearing course on the top or vice versa. The flexible (asphalt concrete) surface is designed to provide special functions such as frictional resistance, wear resistance, better traffic delineation, thermal insulation, and protection against adverse environmental effects
