Weak inter layers in flexible and semi-flexible road pavements: Part 1

The paper states the following: "A strongly cemented layer might show signs of car-bonation, but the strength of the carbonated material is still adequate for its use and purpose in the pavement. This could be described as 'non-deleterious' carbonation (or simply carbonation), whereas...

Description
Summary:The paper states the following: "A strongly cemented layer might show signs of car-bonation, but the strength of the carbonated material is still adequate for its use and purpose in the pavement. This could be described as 'non-deleterious' carbonation (or simply carbonation), whereas when carbonation causes the properties of the material to deteriorate to the extent that the layer cannot fulfil its intended function it is known as 'deleterious' carbonation, in the context of this set of papers."
