Determining the ideal asphalt thickness balances investment cost with a long-term service lifespan of 5 to 10 years without structural deformation.

Thickness Standards by Road Category

  • Commercial Parking Lots (4–5 cm): Withstands continuous steering tire friction and stationary wheel loads.
  • Industrial Logistics Corridors (8–12 cm): Requires dual-layer construction (AC-BC + AC-WC) atop solid aggregate base course.
