practices in terms of a whole road unit, including earthworks and drainage, rather than in terms of individual pavement layers. It follows that there has been a need to derive and implement design and construction procedures specifically for the tropical and sub-tropical regions. Overseas Road Note 31 (ORN 31), which is now

Blending or selection of material from various areas of the source may be required. The Resident Engineer cannot direct that a Contractor furnished source be worked in a particular manner, but can advise the Contractor when the methods or materials may not produce an acceptable product. Comments of this type should be supported by test results.
The material at the site is too Wet: If the material at the site is too wet, it shall be dried by aeration and exposure to the sun until the moisture content is acceptable. When a combination of grader and dozer is used, the dozer shall carry out the initial spreading of borrowed material to the approximate line and level.

Base/Sub-base in Pavement Construction" All these guidelines were reviewed and it was found that IRC-33, 49, 50, 51 and 88 are related to soil stabilization with admixtures. However, IRC-28 deals with soil and soft aggregates stabilization. The revised guidelines presented through this document encompass the review of
Building Roads Over Swamps. Building roads in challenging terrain and swamps or bogs requires special attention compared to construction in ordinary soil. Swampy or marshy lands are periodically or permanently …
Granular Sub Base. Granular Sub-base (GSB) consists of laying and compacting well graded material on prepared sub-grade in accordance with the specifications.: GSB layer is intermediate layer in between Sub-grade and Wet mix macadam. GSB layer is laid in roads and higway works due to its properties .
Granular Sub Base shall consist of well-graded material (which serves as a drainage layer) in accordance with the requirements of MoRT&H and Technical Specification clause 400 and Table : 400-1. The material shall be laid …

The purpose of this roadworks method statement is to describe the activities, sequence and methods that are mandatory for carrying out the standard placement of subbase and road base for a project. The sequence of the road …
Granular-Sub-base is often used as subbase layer of the pavement . The main role of this layer is to spread evenly the load over the subgrade .The subbase shall consist of a uniform mixture of granular material placed on a subgrade, …
Anchor: #i1021617 Section 2: Base and Subgrade Preparation Anchor: #i1024130 2.1 Introduction. Pavement performance can be largely attributed to the care given in designing and preparing its foundation, which is comprised of the subgrade and base layers.

Subbase is an important layer in flexible pavement which functions as a secondary load spreading layer, drainage layer and as a preparatory platform for the construction of road base.
design;( sub-base alone or sub-base plus capping layer), and one flexible design for the structural layer (unless a concrete block surface is preferred). The designer may select a different sub-base or structural layer option e.g. stabilised material or a hydraulic bound roadbase, and design information has been provided.
Effective with the November 2021 Letting 2022 Standard Specifications [3] Required as specified for the individual component materials defined in columns 2 - 6 of the table before blending.

–Blend with aggregate if designed base requirements exceed volume of recoverable RCA base. •Minimize waste and hauling by using RCA base across full pavement section (including shoulders) when excess material is produced (e.g., 12-inch PCCP is recycled to produce material for 4-inch base layer). 30
The sub-base layer works by distributing the surface load over a wide area, and it dramatically improves the ability of the top surface to carry heavy loads and maintain integrity notwithstanding long and repeated use.. The value of a properly laid sub-base layer, even a thin one, cannot be overestimated. Just a few centimetres of crushed aggregate can help ensure a reliable surface …
