The sub-base is an additional strengthening layer with a similar purpose as the road base. As the road base takes care of the initial load dissipation, the sub-base will have less stringent quality requirements as compared to the road base. The sub-base may also act as a separating layer between the road base materials and the sub-grade.Web

Over-excavation. The general principle is to replace poor load-bearing in situ subgrade with better load-bearing fill. Typically, 0.3 – 0.6 m (1 – 2 ft.) of poor soil may be excavated and replaced with better load-bearing fill such as gravel borrow. Add a base course and perhaps a subbase course over the subgrade.Web
