GSB is a layer of compacted granular material, typically crushed stone or gravel, used as a base course beneath pavements, roads, and runways.
Properties:
1. Granular texture
2. High drainage capacity
3. Good load-bearing capacity
4. Resistance to settlement and deformation
5. Durability and stability
Applications:
1. Road construction (sub-base, base course)
2. Airport runway construction
3. Pavement construction (parking lots, sidewalks)
4. Railway track construction
5. Building foundations (sub-structure)
