ACPShoulderThickThickness of shoulder asphalt concrete pavement (ACP) layer.
BaseThickGranular base course shoulder thickness.
UnderCutThickDepth of undercut below GBC.
WideningWidthWidth (horizontal distance) of widening measured at the bottom of the ACP overlay.
ExistingWidthExisting road width, measured at the bottom of the ACP overlay.
