Paved

Paved refers to an area or surface that has been covered with a layer of concrete, asphalt, stone, brick, gravel, or other improved wearing surface, providing a smooth and regular surface for vehicles or pedestrians to move along easily and safely. Examples of paved surfaces include roads, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots.From: Dictionary of 21st Century Energy Technologies, Financing & Sustainability [2021], The in-situ evaluation of surface-breaking cracks in asphalt using a wave decomposition method [2021], Handbook of Wastewater Reclamation and Reuse [2020]

The lining of a canal may be done by using a paved or hard surface, or by employing membranes. Examples of paved or hard surfaces include asphalt, concrete, brick, Portland cement, and stones. Examples of membranes include butyl rubber sheeting, polymers, polyvinyl or polyethylene. Sandy clay soil or resins may also be used as canal linings.

Paved roads provide a smooth and regular surface for vehicles to move along easily and safely. The structure of the paved road usually consists of a multi-layered system of bitumen-bound and unbound materials disposed on top of each other, constituting, in fact, a dispersive system. The main purpose of the layers is to distribute traffic loads from the vehicles to the underlying natural soil.
