refers to any material that consists of aggregate, such as sand, gravel and stones.
cross slope
cement
concrete
construction joint
these result when two curves of differing radius join one another.
compound curve
crossing conflict
construction joint
cost of borrow
joints provided in concrete cement like a separation to allow building components to move with respect to one another.
block cracking
continuously reinforced concrete pavement
cross slope
construction joint
a rigid pavement which has no traverse joint, except construction joint and expansion joint. (Note: Traverse - across or through)
continuously reinforced concrete pavement
contraction joint
expansion joint
crossing conflict
this is the cost of any material that has to be obtained in order to make a fill.
cross slope
clapotis
circular curve
cost of borrow
this traffic conflict occurs when they cross paths directly.
cross slope
curing
design speed
crossing conflict
is a safety factor that provides a drainage gradient so that the water will run off the surface.
cross slope
curing
cut or excavation
delay
the process of getting the required water and temperature after placing the cement.

curing
the operator moves a material where the existing ground is above the construction section.
