tienpintojen

Tienpintojen is a Finnish term that translates to "road surfaces" or "road pavements." It refers to the engineered layers of materials that form the upper part of a road structure, designed to withstand traffic loads and provide a smooth and safe driving surface. The construction of tienpintojen involves several layers, each with a specific function. The uppermost layer, known as the wearing course, is directly exposed to traffic and weather. Beneath this is the binder course, followed by the base course and sub-base. These layers distribute the load from vehicles to the underlying soil.

Common materials used in tienpintojen include asphalt concrete and concrete. Asphalt concrete, a mixture of aggregates, bitumen binder, and additives, is widely used due to its flexibility and relatively low cost. Concrete pavements, made from cement, aggregates, and water, are known for their durability and longevity, particularly in areas with heavy traffic or extreme temperatures. The design and construction of tienpintojen are critical for road safety, traffic flow, and the overall lifespan of the road infrastructure. Maintenance and repair of tienpintojen are ongoing processes to ensure their continued functionality and to prevent deterioration caused by factors such as wear and tear, frost heave, and water damage.
