Abstract: A surface layer for traffic areas such as roads and airport landing strips is produced by laying a load-carrying structure comprising chip grains of mean diameter of from 2 to 25 mm, with a mean size ratio of not more than 1:3 between the smallest and the biggest grains mainly present in the mixture and a bituminous binder comprising stiffening fillers and/or elastomers, compacting the structure and inducing a flowable mortar of high viscosity to penetrate the structure to its entire depth.
