Properties of Highway Materials topics include: Highway construction materials, soil, stone aggregates, bituminous binders and paving mixes, portland cement and cement concrete.

The properties of highway materials depend on the materials used to construct the roads.

Some properties of highway materials include:
Hardness
Soundness
Crushing strength
G.I. value
Water absorption capacity 

Here are some other properties of highway materials:
Composite materials: These materials are durable, lightweight, and have good fire performance.
Flexible pavement: This material is applied in thick layers, making it ideal for highways and major roadways.
Soil: This material should be stable and resistant to permanent deformation under load. It should also be resistant to weathering.
Aggregates: These are particles of rock or equivalent that are used in highway pavement layers. Aggregates can be natural or manufactured.
Soil: This material should have short and long term stability. It should also have adequate permeability and be economical and easy to compact.
