Abstract
The main purpose of the foundation is to distribute the applied vehicle loads to the underlying subgrade, without causing distress in the foundation layers or in the overlying layers. The standard practice is to design the foundation for construction traffic loading. This approach provides a 'standard foundation' for the design of the pavement.
