6.6.2.3.2 Type values
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
BACKFILL
 | 
 Fill behind retaining walls or other structures such as quays, behind abutments and bridges.  | 
COUNTERWEIGHT
 | 
 Embankment built on the side of the main road structure to reduce the settlement of the road.  | 
EMBANKMENT
 | 
 Predominantly longitudinal type of earthworks element with no other particular assigned type according to its role in Pavement or Subgrade. NOTE Definition from ISO6707-1: section of earthworks, often formed by cut or fill, where the finished ground level is above or below original ground level and whose length usually greatly exceeds its width.  | 
SLOPEFILL
 | 
 Side slope (batter) fill abutting the road structure or back slope fill.  | 
SUBGRADE
 | 
 Type of earthworks element forming the structure below pavement and above natural soil. NOTE Definition from ISO 6707-1: upper part of the soil, natural or constructed, that supports the loads transmitted by the overlying structure of a road, runway, or similar hard surface. NOTE Definition from PIARC: Upper layer of the natural ground upon which the pavement is constructed.  | 
SUBGRADEBED
 | 
 Upper part of the soil, natural or constructed, that supports the loads transmitted by the overlying structure of a road, runway, or similar hard surface.  | 
TRANSITIONSECTION
 | 
 Section of subgrade to ensure the consistency of stiffness and prevent uneven settlement. Transition section may appear e.g. between: embankment and bridge abutment; embankment and transverse structure; cutting and tunnel; embankment and cutting.  | 
USERDEFINED
 | 
 User-defined type  | 
NOTDEFINED
 | 
 Undefined type.  |
