Japanese term
路盤

In discussing soil structures of embankments, how do the terms 路床 and 路盤 differ?
I ask this because these 2 are listed as 2 separate criteria in the document that I am working on.
As the detailed discussions on these factors do not form part of my document, I am unable to figure out the difference

subballast
Assuming it's about railway embankment, not road construction, 路盤 should be subballast.
