The ground in Rio Grande Valley

The Valley problem comes from below: a high water table and saline soils that attack a base from underneath while the surface still looks sound. Drainage and a base built to shed water decide the life of the lot, not mat thickness.

What fails here

Heat and humidity, effectively no freeze. Binder grade and compaction carry the pavement here — an under-specified binder ruts and shoves under standing drive-thru traffic long before anything cracks.

Specification

TxDOT Item 341 dense-graded hot mix over a base built to drain
96% Marshall Unit Weight minimum compaction floor
Binder grade specified for sustained Texas surface temperatures
Lime or cement subgrade treatment where the plasticity index calls for it
