 INTRODUCTION

 Development of a country depends on the connectivity of

various places with adequate road network.
 Roads constitute the most important made of
communication in areas where railways have not
developed much.
 India has one of the largest roads network in the world
(over 3 million km at present).
 For the purpose of management and administration, roads
in India are divided into the following five categories :-
1. National Highway (NH)
2. State Highway (SH)
3. Major District Roads (MDR)
4. Other District roads (ODR)
5. Village Roads (VR)
 PAVEMENTS
 Highway pavement is a structure consisting of
superimposed layers of processed materials above the
natural soil sub-grade, whose primary function is to
distribute the applied vehicle loads to the sub-grade.

TYPES OF PAVEMENTS
 The pavements can be classified based on the structural
performance into two
1. Flexible pavements
2. Rigid pavements
 LAYERS OF A FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
 Tack Coat
 Surface Course
 Binder Course
 Base Course
 Sub-base course
 Sub-Grade

RIGID PAVEMENTS
 Rigid pavements have sufficient flexural strength to
transmit the wheel load stresses to a wider area below.
 LAYERS OF RIGID PAVEMENT
 PQC (Pavement Quality Concrete)
 DLC (Dry Lean Concrete)
 GSB LAYER
 WMM
 CTSB
 SUB-GRADE

TESTS
 ON SOIL:-
1. Maximum Dry Density (MDD) & Optimum Moisture
Content (OMC)
2. Grain Size Analysis of Soil (GSA)
3. Atterberg’s Limits(LL,PL)
4. Field Density Test (FDT)

 ON MATERIAL:-
1. Gradation for CTSB
2. Field Density Test
 ON CONCRETE:-
1. Compressive Strength Of Cube
2. Slump test

 ON BITUMEN:-
1. Penetration test
2. Ductility test
3. Softening point test
4. Specific Gravity test
5. Viscosity test
