5. Physical requirements:
The material shall have a 10 per cent fines value of 50 kN or more (for sample in
soaked condition).
The water absorption value of the coarse aggregate shall be determined as per IS:
2386 (Part 3); if this value is should not be greater than 2 percent
6. Strength of sub-base
It shall be ensured prior to actual execution that the material to be used in the sub
base satisfies the requirements of CBR and other physical requirements when
compacted and finished. When directed by the Engineer, this shall be verified by
performing CBR tests in the laboratory as required on specimens remolded at field
dry density and moisture content and any other tests for the quality of materials, as
may be necessary.
Values for above test should lie between:CBR tests Dry density Moisture content 7. Construction Operations
Spreading: The sub-base material of grading specified in the Contract shall be spread
on the prepared sub grade with the help of a motor grader of adequate capacity, its
blade having hydraulic controls suitable for initial adjustment and for maintaining the
required slope and grade during the operation.
Mixing shall be done mechanically by the mix-in-place method.
Compacting:
For a compacted single layer upto 225 mm the compaction shall be done with
the help of a vibratory roller of minimum 80 to 100 kN static weight with plain
drum or pad foot-drum or heavy pneumatic tyred roller of minimum 200 to 300
kN weight having a minimum tyre pressure of 0.7 MN/m2 or equivalent
capacity roller capable of achieving the required compaction.
If the thickness of the compacted layer does not exceed 100 mm, a smooth
wheeled roller of 80 to 100 kN weight may be used.
The speed of the roller shall not exceed 5 km per hour.
Rolling shall be continued till the density achieved is at least 98 percent of the
maximum dry density for the material determined as per IS : 2720 (Part 8).
Moisture content of the loose material shall be checked it should be from 1
percent above to 2 percent suitably by sprinkling additional water. While
adding water, due allowance shall be made for evaporation losses.
Spreading of mix:
Immediately after mixing, the aggregates shall be spread uniformly and evenly
upon the prepared subgrade/sub-base/base in required quantities.
The mix may be spread by a motor grader which shall be capable of spreading
the material uniformly all over the surface. Its blade shall have hydraulic
control suitable for initial adjustments and maintaining the same so as to
achieve the specified slope and grade.
Compaction:
After the mix has been laid to the required thickness, grade and
crossfall/camber the same shall be uniformly compacted, to the full depth
with suitable roller.
If the thickness of single compacted layer does not exceed 100 mm, smooth
wheel roller of 80 to 100 kN weight may be used.
For a compacted single layer upto 200 mm, the compaction shall be done with
the help of vibratory roller of minimum static weight of 80 to 100 kN or
equivalent capacity roller.
The speed of the roller shall not exceed 5 km/h.
In portions having unidirectional cross fall/superelevation, rolling shall
commence from the lower edge and progress gradually towards the upper
edge. Thereafter, roller should progress parallel to the centre line of the road,
uniformly over-lapping each preceding track by at least one third width until the
entire surface has been rolled.
If irregularities develop during rolling which exceed 12 mm when tested with a
3 metre straight edge, the surface should be loosene and premixed material
added or removed as required before rolling again so as to achieve a uniform
surface conforming to the desired grade and crossfall.
Rolling shall be continued till the density achieved is at least 98 per cent of
the maximum dry density for the material as determined by the method
outlined in IS : 2720 (Part-8).
6. Setting and drying: After final compaction of wet mix macadam course, the
road shall be allowed to dry for 24 hours.
7. Rectification of Surface Irregularity: Where the surface irregularity of the wet
mix macadam course exceeds the permissible tolerances or where the course
is otherwise defective due to subgrade soil getting mixed with the aggregates,
the full thickness of the layer shall be scarified over the affected area,
reshaped with added premixed material or removed and replaced with fresh
premixed material as applicable and recompacted.
Water absorption
IS : 2386 (Part-3)
Fine aggregates: Fine aggregates shall be the fraction passing 2.36 mm sieve and
retained on 75 micron sieve, consisting of crusher-run screening , gravel , sand or a
mixture of both. These shall be clean, hard, durable, uncoated, dry and free from any
injurious, soft or flaky pieces and organic or other deleterious substances.
Filler: Filler shall consist of finely divided mineral matter such as rock dust, cement.
The filler shall be free from organic impurities and have a Plasticity Index not greater
than 4. The Plasticity Index requirement shall not apply if filter is cement or lime.
When the coarse aggregate is gravel, 2 per cent by mass of total aggregate of
portland cement or hydrated lime shall be added and the percentage of fine
aggregate reduced accordingly.

5. Construction Operations
Preparation of base: The base on which Dense Bituminous Macadam is to be laid
shall be prepared, shaped and conditioned to the specified lines, grades and cross
sections.
The surface shall be thoroughly swept clean free from dust and foreign matter using
mechanical broom and dust removed or blown off by compressed air
Tack coat: A tack coat over the base shall be applied as per IRC.
Spreading: The mix transported from the hot mix plant to the site shall be spread by
means of a self-propelled paver with suitable screeds capable of spreading, tamping
and finishing the mix to specified grade, lines and cross-section.
The temperature of mix at the time of laying shall be in the range of 1200-160 0 C.
Mixes with a temperature of less than 120 0 C shall not be put into paver spreader.
Rolling: After spreading the mix by paver, it shall be thoroughly compacted by rolling
with a set of rollers moving at a speed not more than 5 km/h, immediately following
close to the paver.
Generally the initial or breakdown rolling shall be done with 80-100 kN static weight
smoothwheeled roller. The intermediate rolling shall be done with 80-100 kN static
weight vibratory roller or with a pneumatic tyred roller of 150-250 kN weight having a
tyre pressure of at least 0.7 MPa.
The finish rolling shall be done with 60-80 kN weight smooth wheeled tandem roller.
Rolling shall be continued till the density achieved is at least 98 per cent of that of
laboratory Marshall specimen (compacted as defined in Table 500-10) and all roller
marks are eliminated.
Rolling operations shall be completed in all respects before the temperature of the
mix falls below 1000C.
Skin patching of an area that has been rolled will not be permitted.
6. Opening to Traffic: Traffic may be allowed after completion of the final rolling
when the mix has cooled down to the surrounding temperature. The Dense
Bituminous Macadam shall be provided with an appropriate wearing course as
early as possible prior to regular opening to normal traffic and/or impending
rain.
7. Measurements for Payment: Dense Bituminous Macadam shall be measured
as finished work in cubic metres or tonnes .
Bitumen Concrete
5. Construction Operations
Preparation of base: The base on which bituminous concrete is to be laid shall be
prepared, shaped and conditioned to the specified levels, grade and crossfall
(camber) as directed by the Engineer.
The surface shall be thoroughly swept clean free from dust and foreign matter using
mechanical broom and dust removed by mechanical means or blown off by
compressed air. In portions where mechanical means cannot reach, other approved
method shall be used.
All other processes like spreading, rolling, Etc are done same as that of DBM.
