=== Infrastructure ===

When assessing road materials, the microscopic composition of the [[infrastructure]] is vital in determining the longevity and safety of the road, and the different requirements of varying locations. As chemical properties such as water permeability, structural stability and [[Thermal resistance|heat resistance]] affect the performance of different materials used in pavement mixes, they are taken into consideration when building for roads according to the traffic, weather, supply and budget in that area.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-02-22 |title=Road materials under the microscope |url=https://infrastructuremagazine.com.au/2021/02/23/road-materials-under-the-microscope/ |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=Infrastructure Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref>
