Introdution to Road construction


HISTORY OF ROAD DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA
The history of road development in India is not very long. The first construction
in National Highway road was started in the UP 2022. In the [Link] road length
of the country was only 376 km .Currently 18,828 km including District and
Urban Roads. The Government of Indi has been giving high priority to the
development of roads since the beginning of planned development programmes
in [Link] of Delhi with the southern border was taken up in 1953 with
Indian assistance and was opened for traffic in [Link] Government of
India constructed the Delhi- Lucknow road in [Link] same time, the
Government of India initiated to construct the east–west highway (1,028Km)
with the support of bilateral and multilateral agencies. At present, the
Strategic Road Network consists of 15 national highways and 51 feeder roads
totaling 7,917 km. The government plans to extend Delhi to 9,900 km by 2022.
Development of country depends on the connectivity of various place with
adequate road network. Road are the major channel of transportation for carrying
goods and passenger. They play in significant role of the socio-economic
standards of a region .Road constitute the most important mode of
communication in area where Railways have not developed much and form the
basic infra-structure for the development and economic growth of country
.The benefits From the investment in road sector are indirect, long term and not
immediately visible. Road are import assets for any nation . India are large
country having huge resource of materials. If these local material are used
properly, the cost of construction can be reduces .There are various type of
pavement which differ in their suitability in different environment .Each type
of pavement has its own merits and demerits . India has one of largest road
networks in the world (over 3 million km at present).We are going to the
vocational training on the 16.602km length of flexible pavement

TYPE OF PAVEMENT

PAVEMENT
➢Pavement or Road I an open , generally public way for passage of vehicles ,
people and animals .
➢Pavement is finished with a hard smooth surface . It helped make them durable
and able to withstand traffic and the environment . They have a life span of
between 20-30 years.
PURPOSE
Many people rely on paved roads to move themselves and their products

TYPE OF PAVEMENT
There are mainly two types of pavement depending upon the material used .
1. RIGID PAVEMENT
2. FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
1) RIGID PAVEMENT Rigid pavements , through costly in initial investment ,
are cheap in long run because of low maintenance cost. There are various merits
in the use of rigid or summarized below:-
➢ The demand for bitumen in coming year is likely to grow steeply,far
outstripping the [Link] it will be in India’s interest to explore
alternative [Link] is available in sufficient quantity in India,and its
availability in the future is also assured.
➢ Beside the easy available of cement,concrete road have a long life and are
practically maintencefree

[Type here]
[Type here]

➢ Another major advantage of concrete roads in the saving in fuel by


commercial vehicles to an extent of 14-20%.The fuel saving themselves
support a large programme of concreting.
➢ Cement concrete road save a substantial quantity of stone aggregate and
this factor must be consider when a choice pavement is made.
➢ Though cement concrete road may cost slightly more then a flexible
pavement initially,they are economical when whole life costing is considered

INTRODUCTION TO BUTIMEN

2) FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
Bitumen has widely used in the construction of flexible pavement for a long
[Link] is most convenient and simple type of [Link] cost of
construction of single lane bituminous pavement varies from 20 to 30 lacks per
km in plain area.
Bitumen is a black or dark colored or viscous cementitious substance having an
adhesive properties.
1) It consist chiefly high molecular weight hydrocarbons derived from
distillation of petroleum or natural asphalt.
2) It is semi-solid hydrocarbons product produced by removing the lighter
friction such as liquid petroleum gas , petrol and diesel from heavy crude oil
during the refining process.
3) Bitumen is often confused with [Link] bitumen and coal tar similarly
black and sticky,they are distinctly different substance in origin,chemical
composition and in their properties.

ORIGIN :-Asphalt material have been utilized since 3500 B.C .In building
and road [Link] main uses have been as adhes uses have been as
adhesive and water proof agents.

INTRODUCTION TO BITUMINOUS ROAD


➢ Bituminous road is road constructed by using [Link] is also called flexible
pavement because it change it shape according to nature of load and sub base.
➢ A road or pavement is a structure consisting of superimposed layer of proceed
materials above the natural soil sub-grade, whose primary function is to
distribute the applied vehicle loads to the sub grads.

CONSTITUENTS OF BITUMEN MIX

. Coarse aggregate ( retained on 4.75mm sieve )


. Fine aggregate(passing 4.75mm sieve but retained on 75micro)
• Finer(passing 75 micro)may be cement • Binder: bitumen
BITUMEN ROAD LAYER
Mainly four types of layer has present in flexible pavement they are:-
1) Sub-grade course
2) Sub-base course
3) Base course
4) Surface course
Sub-grade course:-
Top of the ground on which the foundation of road rest is called sub
[Link] sub grade material is cleaned and free from organic matter and
should be compacted by roller, to from stable sub [Link] thickness is 20-
30cm.

[Type here]
[Type here]

SUB-BASE COURSE:-
It is layer of granular material provided above sub grade generally natural
gravel. It is usually not provided on sub grade of good quality. Its thickness is
10-15mm

BASE COURSE:-
It is the layer immediately under the wearing surface (Applied
whether the wearing surface is bituminous or cements concrete and
whether it’s a thick or thin bituminous layer).its thickness is 10-15cm

SURFACE COURSE:-
The top layers of pavement which is in direct contact with the wheel
of the vehicle. Usually constructed of material in which bitumen is
used as binder materials.
Its thickness is 25-50mm

MATERIAL

Pavement Material Asphalt and concrete are the most common paving materials
found in the developed landscape. However, there are other strong,
durable pavements that can add variety to the built landscape and help reduce
pavement's imperviousness. The following is a review of selected paving
materials:

1 Asphalt :-
Bituminous concrete or asphalt is composed of aggregates bound together
with asphalt cement. The aggregate is heated and mixed with hot (275º f)
asphalt then taken to the construction site where it is placed, as a wearing
surface, over a base course. The asphalt is laid by hand and paving machine,
then rolled to force the mixture to firmly set. It is then allowed to cool, typical
asphalt pavement has a life expectancy of 20 years before it needs resurfacing.
Asphalt pavement is composed of the following two layers, the wearing course
and the base course The Wearing Course transfers and distributes traffic
loads to the base course. The Wearing course is actually composed of two
layers, a 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" surface layer nd a 3" bonding layer. The bonding
course penetrates voids in the sub base and binds the wearing course to the sub
base aggregate.

2. Stone: Stone is a durable paving surface that is available in either


natural or synthetic form. Natural paving stone is graded based on its' hardness,
porosity and abrasion resistance. It is available either in cut or uncut form in
[Type here]
[Type here]

various degrees of smoothness. Examples of uncut or rubble stone, are broken


quarry rock and river stone available in Varying degrees of smoothness. Crushed
stone of various sizes and hardness is used as sub-base for other surface materials,
surface pavement or ground cover. When mixed with asphalt or concrete, crushed
stone or aggregate is used in the wearing and base coarse of roads, drives, parking
lots and sidewalks. Larger stones are mixed with asphalt or concrete when a
rougher or more porous surface is desired.

3. Earth Materials: Earth materials used for paving include gravel, soil,
granular products, and turf. The volume of earth materials is determined by its
state in the earth moving process. For example a cubic yard of gravel as it lies in
its natural, undisturbed state usually swells to 1.25 cubic yards after it has been
disturbed by excavation. The same quantity of gravel decreases in volume to
about .90 cubic yards after it has been compacted by machinery on site.

Step of Bitumen Road Construction


Bitumen road construction consists of various steps such as preparation of base
course, application of bituminous coat, placement of bituminous mix, rolling and
check for quality etc. which are discussed.

[Link] of the existing base course layer


The existing surface is prepared by removing the pot holes or rust if any.
The irregularities are filled in with premix chippings at least a week before laying
surface course. If the existing pavement is extremely way, a bituminous leveling
course of adequate thickness is provided to lay a bituminous concrete surface
course on a binder course instead of directly laying it on a WBM.

[Link] of Tuck Coat


It is desirable to lay AC layer over a bituminous base or binder course. A tack
coat of bitumen is applied at 6.0 to 7.5 kg per 10 sq.m area, this quantity
may be increased to 7.5 to 10 kg for non-bituminous base.

[Link] and placing of Premix


The premix is prepared in a hot mix plant of a required capacity with the desired
quality control. The bitumen may be heated up to 150 – 177 deg C and
the aggregate temperature should not differ by over 14 deg C from the
binder temperature. The hot mixed material is collected from the mixture
by the transporters, carried to the location is spread by a mechanical paver
at a temperature of 121 to 163 deg C. the camber and the thickness of the layer
are accurately verified. The control of the temperatures during the mixing
and the compaction are of great significance in the strength of the resulting
pavement structure.

[Type here]

4. Rolling
A mix after it is placed on the base course is thoroughly compacted by rolling at
a speed not more than 5km per hour. The initial or break down rolling is done by
8 to 12 tonnes roller and the intermediate rolling is done with a fixed wheel
pneumatic roller of 15 to 30 tonnes having a tyre pressure of 7kg per [Link]. The
final rolling or finishing is done by 8 to 10 tonne tandem roller.

[Link] control of bituminous concrete construction


The routine checks are carried out at site to ensure the quality of the
resulting pavement mixture and the pavement [Link] checks are
made for
a) Aggregate grading
b) Grade of bitumen
c) Temperature of aggregate
d) Temperature of paving mix during mixing and compaction.

At least one sample for every 100 tonnes of the mix discharged by the hot
mix plant is collected and tested for above requirements. Marshall tests are also
conducted. For every 100 sq.m of the compacted surface, one test of the field
density is conducted to check whether it is atleast 95% of the density obtained in
the laboratory. The variation in the thickness allowed is 6mm per 4.5m length of
construction.

6. Finished surface:
The AC surface should be checked by a 3.0 m straight edge. The longitudinal
undulations should not exceed 8.0 mm and the number of undulations higher
than 6.0 mm should not exceed 10 in a length of 300 m. The cross-traffic profile
should not have undulations exceeding 4.0mm
Equipment uses in road construction:-
1.) Motor Grader commonly referred to as road grader or a maintainer,
[Type here]
[Type here]

motor grader is equipment used to create flat surfaces for asphalt to


be placed on.

2.) Asphalt Mixing Plant


An asphalt plant is used for the manufacture of asphalt concrete and other forms
of coated road-stone used in road construction projects. It combines mineral
aggregates, sand and a filler – in correct proportions, heats the mixture and then
coats it with a binder.
The plant then keeps the final product heated to avoid setting before the product
is laid down in layers.

3) Crawler Excavator
Also referred to as diggers, excavators are heavy construction

[Type here]
[Type here]

equipment used for excavating earth and rocks and loading


them onto a dump trucks.

4) Rollers:-
Rollers are heavy road construction machines used for compacting hot and
therefore flexible asphalt pavements.

MERIT AND DEMERIT OF BITUMINOUS PAVEMENT

MERIT OF BITUMINOUS PAVEMENT,


[Link] does not make use of any joints; Hence provide a smooth surface to ride. It
also gives less sound emission when compared with concrete pavements. The
wear and tear are less in the bituminous pavement, thus maintaining the
smoothness.
[Link] deformation and the failure in the bituminous pavement is a gradual
process. The concrete pavement shows brittle failures.
[Link] have an option to be repaired to be quick. They don't consume
time in reverting the path for traffic; as they set fast.
[Link] helps in carrying out staged construction in a situation when problems of
fund constraint or traffic estimation problems are faced.
[Link] initial cost and overall maintenance cost of bituminous pavement are less
compared to concrete pavement.
[Link] act resistant against high temperature from melting and are not affected
by de-icing materials

[Type here]
[Type here]

DEMERIT OF BITUMINOUS PAVEMENT

[Link] pavements are less durable


[Link] tensile strength compared to concrete pavement
[Link] weather and improper weather conditions tend to make bituminous
pavement slick and soft.

Common questions

Powered by AI

The core cutter method involves measuring the density of soil to ensure pavement stability. The procedure includes determining the dimensions and mass of the core cutter, using it to extract a soil sample, and weighing the sample to calculate density. This test is crucial for verifying the compactness of the sub-grade, which affects the overall durability and performance of the pavement. It ensures that the pavement structure meets the required compaction standards for supporting vehicular loads .

Road construction significantly impacts economic and infrastructure development. It enhances connectivity, facilitating transportation of goods and movement of people, thereby supporting economic activities and socio-economic standards. In areas where railways are underdeveloped, roads provide essential communication links and infrastructure. The indirect benefits of investment in roads are long-term and crucial for national growth. Proper utilization of local materials can reduce construction costs, aiding resource efficiency in a large country like India .

Bitumen poses challenges like susceptibility to high temperatures, leading to surface softening and potential rutting, and environmental concerns from bitumen impurities causing soil pollution. Mitigation involves using high-quality bitumen, exploring alternative binders like treated cement, and incorporating robust drainage systems to prevent water accumulation, which can exacerbate bitumen degradation. Additionally, polymer modifications can improve bitumen's temperature resistance .

Asphalt, composed of aggregates bound with asphalt cement, offers a smooth, durable surface typically lasting 20 years, requiring periodic resurfacing. It is suitable for high-traffic areas and provides flexibility in accommodating minor ground movements. Stone, available in natural or synthetic forms, provides varying degrees of durability based on hardness and porosity. Used primarily for sub-bases or surface pavements requiring aesthetic variation, stone's durability depends on its composition but generally provides a robust long-term solution for specific applications .

Flexible pavements generally have lower initial construction costs compared to rigid pavements. However, rigid pavements, while costlier initially, offer long-term benefits due to their longevity and lower maintenance costs. The demand for bitumen, used in flexible pavements, is expected to rise, making it advantageous to explore alternatives like cement for rigid pavements. Rigid pavements may utilize cement, which is abundantly available in India, providing a potentially more sustainable option .

Bituminous road construction comprises several steps, including the preparation of the base course, application of a tack coat, preparation and placement of the premix, rolling, and quality control. The base course is prepared by rectifying surface irregularities. A tack coat of bitumen is applied, followed by spreading and compacting of the premix. Rolling is performed in stages to ensure stability. Quality checks include aggregate grading, bitumen grading, temperature checks, and field density tests, ensuring at least 95% of lab density and limiting thickness variation to 6mm over 4.5m .

The development of roads in India, notably through government initiatives since 1956, has been pivotal for economic growth by enhancing connectivity and fostering regional development. Roads act as critical infrastructure, linking urban and rural areas, facilitating trade, and directly contributing to increased socio-economic activities. They serve as transportation arteries, complementing underdeveloped rail networks, thus forming a backbone for national economic strategies .

Motor graders, also known as road graders, are used to create flat surfaces required for asphalt placement, ensuring a level base for further paving activities. Asphalt mixing plants manufacture asphalt concrete by combining mineral aggregates, sand, filler, heating them, and then coating them with a binder. This mixture is kept heated to prevent pre-mature setting before being laid in layers on the roads .

Utilizing local materials in road construction can substantially reduce costs in India, which is rich in diverse natural resources. Efficient use of locally sourced materials like gravel and aggregates minimizes transportation costs and associated environmental impacts. This localized approach not only conserves financial resources but also supports sustainable development by reducing dependency on imported materials .

The sub-base and base courses are critical for pavement stability and load distribution. The sub-base course, made of granular materials like natural gravel, is placed atop the subgrade to enhance stability and load-bearing capacity. A well-engineered sub-base ensures the durability of the pavement by preventing deformation. The base course, immediately under the wearing surface, provides further structural support and spreads traffic loads evenly. Its composition varies between bituminous or cementitious materials, depending on the surface course material .
