Pavement. Carriageways should be paved with cement concrete or asphalt concrete. However, Class III may be paved with double bituminous treatment. The pavement of many road sections in the Asian Highway member countries is damaged owing to insufficient load capacity. The design load for pavements should therefore be determined carefully to prevent damage to the road surface and consequently to reduce maintenance costs. However, road pavements should be designed taking into account: (a) Axle load; (b) Traffic volume; (c) Quality of materials to be used for basecourse and subgrade (as the quality of road construction materials varies from country to country, the pavement load specification was not included in the Asian Highway standards).
