WBM will be 0.06-0.09 m^3/ 10 m^2 and 0.08-0.10 m^3/ 10 m^2 for 100 mm
compacted thickness.

The above mentioned quantities should be taken as a guide only, for estimation of
quantities of construction, etc. application of binding materials may not be
necessary when the screenings used are of crushable type such as moorum or
gravel.

3. Construction Operation

3.1 Preparation of base

The surface of the sub grade/sub base/base to receive the WBM course shall be
prepared to the specified lines and cross fall (camber)and made free of dust and
other extraneous material. Any ruts or soft yielding places shall be corrected in an
approved manner and rolled until firm Sub base/base surface irregularities, where
predominant , shall be made good by providing appropriate type of profile
corrective course as per specification.

3.2 SPREADING COARSE AGGREGATES

The coarse aggregate shall be spread uniformly and evenly upon the prepared sub
grade /sub base/base to proper profile by using templates placed across the road
about 6 m apart, in such quantities that thickness of each compacted layer is not
more than 100mm for grading 1 and 75mm for grading 2 and 3 . Wherever
possible, approved mechanical devices shall be used to spread the aggregates
uniformly so as to minimize the needs for manual rectification onwards .aggregates
placed at location which are inaccessible to the spreading equipment, may be
spread in one or more layer by any approved means so as to achieve the specified
results.
The spreading shall be done from stockpiles along the side of the roadways or
directly from vehicles. in no case shall the aggregates be dumped in heaps directly
on the surface prepared to receive the aggregates nor shall hauling over
uncompacted or partially compacted base shall be allowed and the coarse
aggregate as spread shall be of uniform gradation with no pockets of fine material.
The surface of the aggregate spread shall be carefully checked with templates and
all high and low spots remedied by removing or adding aggregates as may be
required .the surface shall be checked frequently with a straight edge while
spreading and rolling so as to ensure a finished surface as par approved plan.
The coarse aggregate shall not normally be spread more than three days in
advance of the subsequent construction operation.

3.3 ROLLING

Immediately following the spreading of the coarse aggregate, rolling shall be

started with three wheeled power roller s of 8 to 10 tone capacity or tandem or
vibratory rollers of approved type . The type of roller to be used shall be approved
by the engineer based on trial run.

Except on super elevated portions where the rolling shall proceed from inner edge
to outer, rolling shall begin from the edge gradually progressing towards center
.first the edge/edges shall be compacted with roller running forwards and
backwards. the roller shall then move inwards parallel to the center line of road ,in
successive passes uniformly lapping preceding track by at least one half width.

Rolling shall be discontinued when the aggregate are partially compacted with
sufficient void space in them to permit application of screenings. During rolling,
slight sprinkling of water may be done, if necessary. Rolling shall not be done
when the sub grade is soft or yielding or when it causes a wave like motion in the
sub grade or sub base course.

The rolled surface shall be checked transversely and longitudinally .with templates
and any irregularity corrected by loosening the surface, adding or removing
necessary amount of aggregates and re-rolling until entire surface conforms to
desired cross fall(camber) and grade. In no case screening be permitted to
makeup depressions.

Materials which are crushed excessively during compaction or become segregated

shall be removed and replaced with suitable aggregates.

It shall be insured that shoulders are built up simultaneously along with WBM
courses.

3.4 APPLICATION OF SCREENING

After the coarse aggregates has been rolled to clause 3.3 screenings to completely
filled fill the interstices shall be applied gradually over the surface. these shall not
be damp or wet at time of application dry rolling shall be done while the screening
are being spread so that vibration of roller cause them to settle into the voids of the
coarse aggregates .the screening shall not dumped in piles but be spread
uniformly in successive thin layer either by the spreading motion of hand shovels
or by mechanical spreaders or directly from tipper with suitable grit spreading
arrangement .tipper operating for spreading the screenings shall be so driven as
not to disturb the coarse aggregates. the screening shall be applied in at a slow
and uniform rate(in three or more applications) so as to ensure filling of all voids
.this shall be accompanied by dry rolling and brooming with mechanical broom,
hand brooms or both. in no case shall the screening be applied so fast and thick
as to form cakes of ridges on the surface in such a manner as would prevent filling
of voids or prevent the direct bearing of roller on the coarse aggregates .these
operation shall continue until no more screenings can be forced into the voids of
he coarse aggregates.

The spreading, rolling, and brooming of screenings shall carried out in only such
length of road which could be compacted within one days operation.

3.5 SPRINKLING OF WATER AND GROUTING

After the screenings have been applied, the surface shall be copiously sprinkled
with water, swept and rolled .hand brooms shall be used to sweep the wet
screening into voids and to distribute them evenly. The sprinkling, sweeping and
rolling operation shall be continued until the coarse aggregate has been thoroughly
keyed, well bounded and firmly set in its full depth and a grout has been formed o
screenings. Care shall taken to see that the base or sub grade does not get
damaged due to the addition of excessive quantities of water during construction.

3.6 APPLICATION OF BINDING MATERIAL

After the application of screenings in accordance with clause 3.4 and 3.5 the
binding material where it is required to be used shall be applied successively in
two or more thin layers at thin and uniform rate .after each application ,the surface
shall be copiously sprinkled with water the resulting slurry swept in with hand
brooms or mechanical brooms to fill the voids properly ,and rolled during which
water, shall be applied to the wheels of the roller if necessary to wash down the
binding material sticking to them .these operations shall be continue until the
resulting slurry after filling the voids ,form a wave ahead of wheels of the moving
roller.

3.7 SETTING AND DRYING

After the final compaction of WBM course, the pavement shall be allowed to dry
over night .next morning hungry spots shall be filled with screening or binding
material as directed, lightly sprinkled with water if necessary and rolled .no traffic
shall be allowed on the road until macadam is set .the engineer shall have
discretion to stop hauling traffic from using the compacted WBM course, if in his
opinion it would cause excessive damaged to the surface.
The compacted WBM course should be allowed to completely dry and set before
the next pavement course is laid over it.
4. SURFACE FINISH AND QUALITY CONTROL OF WORK

4.1 The surface finish of construction shall be as specified with a tolerance of

10mm
4.2 The WBM work shall not be carried out when the atmospheric temperature is
less than zero degrees centigrade in the shed.

4.4 RECOSTRUCTION OF DEFECTIVE MACADAM

The finished surface of WBM shall conform to the tolerance of surface irregularity
of 10mm. However, where the surface irregularity of the course exceeds the
tolerance or where the course is other wise defective due to sub grade soil mixing
with the aggregates ,the course to its full thickness shall be sacrificed over the
affected area reshaped with added material as applicable and recompacted. in no
case shall depressions be filled up with screening or binding material.

4.5MEASUREMENT FOR PAYMENT

Tables -3 and Table-4 may be reduced at the discretion of the Engineer if it is felt that
consistency in the quality of materials can still be maintained with the reduced number of tests.

Test procedures for the various quality control tests are indicated in the respective
Sections of these Specifications or for certain tests within this Section. Where no specific
testing procedure is mentioned, the tests shall be carried out as per the prevalent accepted
engineering practise to the directions of the Engineer.

3.2. Tests on Earthwork for Embankment, Subgrade Construction and Cut

Formation

3.2.1. Borrow material : Grid the borrow area at 25 m c/c (or closer, if the variability is high) to
full depth of proposed working. These pits should be logged and plotted lot proper
identification of suitable sources of material. The following tests on representative samples
shall be carried out:

(a) Sand Content [IS: 2720 (Partt4)]: 2 tests per 3000 cubic metres of soil.
(b) Plasticity Test [IS: 2720 (Part-5)]: Each type to be tested, 2 tests per 30(X) cub. metres of
soil.
(c) Density Test [IS:2720 (Par: 8)]: Each soil type to be tested, 2 tests per 3000 cubic
metres of soil.
(d) Deleterious Content Test [IS:2720 (Part-27)] : As and when required by the Engineer.

measurement of density for each 1000 square metres of compacted area, or closer as
required to yield the minimum number of test results for evaluating a day'
s work on statistical
basis. The determination of density shall be in accordance with IS: 2720 (Part 23). Test
locations shall be chosen only through random sampling techniques. Control shall not be
based on the result of any one test but on the mean value of a set of 5-10 density
determinations. The number of tests in one set of measurements shall be 6 (if non-destructive
tests are carried out, the number of tests shall be doubled) as long as it is felt that sufficient
control over borrow material and the method of compaction is being exercised. If considerable
variations are observed between individual density results, the minimum number of tests in
one set of measurement shall be increased to 10. The acceptance criteria shall be .subject to
the condition that the mean density is not less than the specified density plus:
1.65 - 1.65 times the standard deviation.

MISCELLANEOUS WORKS

1.0 PITCHING ON SLOPES

1.1 Description

This work shall consist of covering the slopes of guide banks, training works and
road embankment with stone, boulders or bricks over a layer of granular material
called filter.
1.2 General

The pitching shall be provided as directed and Stone subject to marked

deterioration by water or weather shall not be accepted.

The stone shall be sound, hard, durable and fairly regular in shape. The largest
stones procurable shall be supplied, and in no case shall any fragment weigh less
than 40 Kg unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. The sizes of spalls shall be
minimum 25 mm and shall be suitable to fill the voids in the pitching.

To drain off the seepage water and to prevent erosion of the base material, one or
more layers of graded materials, commonly known as a filter medium, shall be
provided underneath the pitching. The material for the filter shall consist of sound
gravel, stone or brick ballast and coarse sand.

1.3 Requirement for filter material :

The gradation of the filter material shall satisfy the following requirements :

(i) D18 of Filter 4 to 20 provided than the filter does not

D18 of Base Material contain more than 5 per cent of material
filter than 0.075 mm.

(ii) D16 of Filter 5 or less

D16 of Base Material

(iii) D80 of Filter Material 25

D80 of Base Material

(iv) The grain size curve of the filter should be roughly parallel to that of the base
material.
Notes :-

1. Filter design may not be required if embankment consists of Sand or Soils with liquid limit
greater than 30 which are resistant to surface erosion. In this case, if a layer of materials is
used as bedding for pitching, it shall be well graded and its D80 size shall be at least twice
the maximum void size in pitching.

2. In the foregoing D18 means the size of that sieve which allows 15 per cent by weight of the
filter material to pass through it and similar is the meaning of D80 and D18.

3. If more than one filter layer is required, the same requirement as above shall be followed
for each layer. The finer filter shall be considered as base material for selection of coarser
filter.

4. Where brick bats are used as filter material, normally the grading is not possible and in
such cases, a layer of graded gravel shall be provided below the brick bats.

5. The filter shall be compacted to a firm condition.

6. The thickness of filter is generally of the order of 200 mm to 300 mm. Where filter is
provided in two layers, thickness of each layer shall be 150 mm.

1.3 Construction Operations

Before laying the pitching, the sides of banks shall be trimmed to the required slope and
profiles put up by means of line and pegs at intervals of 3 meters to ensure regular
straight work and an uniform slope throughout. Depressions shall be filled and thoroughly
compacted.
The filter granular material shall be laid over the prepared base and suitably compacted
to the thickness specified on the drawings.

The lowest course of pitching shall be started from the toe wall and built up in courses
upwards. The toe wall shall be in masonry or as directed by EIC conforming to
requirements. In case of dry rubble pitching and shall be in Masonry work in cement
mortar 1: 4 in case of brick pitching.

The stone pitching shall commence in a trench below the toe of the slope. Stone shall be
placed by derrick or by hand to the required length, thickness and depth conforming to
the drawings. Stones shall be set normal to the slope, and placed so that the largest
dimension is perpendicular to the face of the slope, unless such dimension is greater
than the specified thickness of pitching.

The largest stones shall be placed in the bottom courses and for use as headers for
subsequent courses.

When full depth of pitching can be formed with a single stone, the stones shall be laid
breaking joints and all interstices between adjacent stones shall be filled in with spalls
of the proper size and wedged in with hammers to ensure tight packing.

When two or more layers or stones must be laid to obtain the design thickness of
pitching, dry masonry shall be used and stones shall be well bonded.

Where bricks are to be used, the same shall be laid on the prepared base in one or
more layers as specified. When more than one layer is to be adopted, adjacent layers
shall be properly bonded by means of a sufficient number of pin headers, extending
from one layer to the other. The bond used in laying shall be as directed by the
Engineer.
 2.0 TURFING WITH GRASS SODS

2.1 Scope :
This work shall consist of furnishing and laying of the live sod of perennial
turf forming grass on embankment slopes, verge (earthen shoulders) or other
locations as directed by the Engineer. Unless otherwise specified, the work shall
be taken up as soon as possible following construction of the embankment,
provided the season is favorable for establishment of the sod.

2.2 Materials :
The sod shall consist of dense, well rooted growth of permanent and
desirable grasses, indigenous to the locality where it is to be used, and shall be
practically free from weeds or other undesirable matter. At the time the sod is cut,
the grass on the sod shall have a length of approximately 50 mm and the sod shall
have been freed of debris.
Thickness of the sod shall be as uniforn as possible, with some 50-80 mm
or so of soil covering the grass roots depending on the nature of the sod, so that
practically all the dense root system of the grasses is retained in the sod strip. The
sods shall be cut in rectangular strips of uniform width, not less than about 250 mm
x 300 mm in size but not so large that it is inconvenient to handle and transport
these without damage. During wet weather, the sod shall be allowed to dry
sufficiently to prevent rearing during handling and during dry weather shall be
watered before lifting to ensure its vitality and prevent the dropping of the soil in
handling.

2.3 Construction Operations

2.3.1 Preparation of the earth bed :

The area to be sodded shall have been previously constructed to the
required slope and cross section. Soil on the area shall be loosened, freed of all
stones larger than 50 mm diameter, sticks, stumps and any undesirable foreign
matter, and brought to a reasonably fine granular texture to a depth of not less
than 25 mm for receiving the sod.
Where required, top soil shall be spread over the slopes. Prior to placing the
top soil the slopes shall be scarified to the required depth as directed. The top soil
shall be spread to a depth which after settlement will provide the required nominal
depth. Spreading shall not be done when the ground is excessively wet.
Following soil preparation and top soiling, fertilizer is incorporated in the soil
by dicing or other means to the required depths.

2.3.2.Placing the sods : The prepared sod bed shall be moistened to the
loosened depth, if not already sufficiently moist, and the sod shall be plowed
therein within approximately 24 hours after the same has been cut. Each sod strip
shall be laid edge to edge and such that the joints caused by abutting ends are
staggered. Every strip, after it is snugly placed against the strips already in position
shall be lightly tamped with suitable wooden or metal tampers so as to eliminate
are pockets and to press it into the underlying soil. On side slopes steeper than
2 to 1 the laying of sods shall be started from bottom upwards.
At the points where water may flow over a sodded area, the upper edges of
the sod strips shall be turned into the soil below the adjacent area and a layer of
earth placed over this followed by its thorough companion.

2.3.3.Staking the sods : Where the side slope is 2 to 1 or steeper and the
distance along the slope is more than meters, the sods shall be staked with pegs
or nails spaced approximately 500 to 1000 along the longitudinal axis of the sod
strips. Stakes shall be driven approximately plump through the sods to so almost
flush with them.
2.3.4 Top dressing : After the sods have been land in position, the surface
shall be cleaned of loose sod, excess sod and other foreign material. Thereafter a
thin layer of top soil shall be scattered over the surface of top dressing and the
area thoroughly moistened by sprinkling with water.
2.4 Watering and maintenance : The sods shall be watered by the contractor for
a period of at least four weeks after laying. Watering shall be so done as to avoid
erosion and prevent damage to sodded areas by wheels of water tanks.
The contractor shall erect necessary warning signs and barriers, repair or
replace sodded areas failing to show uniform growth of grass or damaged by his
operations and shall otherwise maintain the sod at his cost until final acceptance.

300 microns 10-30
150 microns 5-15
75 microns 0-10
____________________________________________________________
__________

Contractor shall be responsible to ensure that single-sized, gap-graded sands or

sands containing an excessive amount of fines or plastic fines are not used. The
sand particles should preferably be sharp not rounded, as sharp sand possess
higher strength and resist the migration of sand from under the block to less
frequently areas. Even though sharp sands are relatively more difficult to compact
than rounded sands, the use of sharp sands is preferred for the more heavily
trafficked driveways. The sand use for bedding shall be free of any deletorious
soluble salts or other contaminants likely to cause efflorescence.
The sand shall be of uniform moisture content and within 4%-8% when spread and
shall be protected against rain when stockpiled prior to spreading. Saturated sand
shall not be used.

The bedding sand shall be spread loose in a uniform layer as per drawing. The
compacted uniform thickness shall be of 50mm and within + 5mm .Thickness
variation shall not be used to correct irregularities in the base course surface.

The spread sand shall be carefully maintained in a loose dry condition and
protected against pre-compaction both prior to and following screening .Any pre-
compacted sand or screeded sand left overnight shall be loosened before further
laying of paving units take place.

Sand shall be slightly screeded in a loose condition to the predetermined depth

only slightly ahead of the laying of the paving unit.

Any depressions in the screeded sand exceeding 5mm shall be loosened, raked
and rescreeded before laying of paving units.
4.7.3 LAYING OF INTERLOCKING PAVING UNITS :

Paving units shall be laid in herringbone laying pattern throughout the pavement.
Once the laying pattern has been established, it shall continue without interruption
over the entire pavement surface. Cutting of blocks, the use of infill concrete or
discontinuities in laying pattern is not be permitted in other than approved
locations.

Paving units shall be placed on the uncompacted screeded sand bed to the
nominated laying pattern, care being taken to maintain the specified bond
throughout the job. The first row shall be located next to an edge restraint.
Specially manufactured edge paving units are permitted or edge units may be cut
using a power saw, a mechanical or hydraulic guillotine, bolster or other approved
cutting machine.

Paving units shall be placed to achieve gaps nominally 2 to 3mm wide between
adjacent paving joints. No joint shall be less than 1.5 mm nor more than 4mm.
Frequent use of string lines shall be used to check alignment. In this regard, the
laying face shall be checked at least every two metres as the face proceeds.
Should the face become out of alignment, it must be corrected prior to initial
compaction and before further laying job is proceeded with.

In each row, all full units shall be laid first. Closure units shall be cut and fitted
subsequently. Such closure units shall consist of not less than 25% of a full unit.

To infill spaces between 25mm and 50mm wide, a concrete having 1:2:4 cement:
sand: coarse aggregate mix and a strength of 45 N/Sqmm shall be used. Within
such mix the nominal aggregate size shall not exceed one third the smallest
dimension of the infill space. For smaller spaces dry packed mortar shall be used.

Except where it is necessary to correct any minor variations occurring in the laying
bond, the paving units shall n ot be hammered into position. Where adjustment of
position is necessary care shall be taken to avoid premature compaction of the
sand bedding.

4.7.4 INITIAL COMPACTION

After laying the paving units, they shall be compacted to achieve consolidation of
the sand bedding and brought to design levels and profiles by not less than two (2)
passes of a suitable plate compactor.

The compactor shall be a high-frequency, low amplitude mechanical flat plate

vibrator having plate area sufficient to cover a minimum of twelve paving units.

Prior to compaction all debris shall be removed from the surface.

Compaction shall proceed as closely as possible following laying and prior to any
traffic. Compaction shall not, however, be attempted within one metre of the laying
face. Compaction shall continue until lipping has been eliminated between
adjoining units. Joints shall then be filled and recompacted as per requiremnents.

All work further than one metre from the laying face shall be left fully compacted at
the completion of each days laying.

Any units that are structurally damaged prior to or during compaction shall be
immediately removed and replaced.

Sufficient plate compactors shall be maintained at the paving site for both bedding
compaction and joint filling.

4.7.5 JOINT FILLING AND FINAL COMPACTION

As soon as practical after compaction and in any case prior to the termination of
work on that day and prior to the acceptance of construction traffic, sand for joint
filling shall be spread over the pavement.

Joint sand shall pass a 2.36 mm (No 8) sieve and shall be free of soluble salts or
contaminants likely to cause efflorescence. The sane shall comply with the
following grading limits:

IS SIEVE SIZE % PASSING

2.36 mm 100
1.18 mm 90-100
600 microns 60-90
300 microns 30-60
150 microns 15-30
75 microns 10-20
__________________________________________________________________
____

The Contractor shall supply a sample of the jointing sand to be used in the contract
prior to delivering any such material to site for incorporation into the works.
Certificates of test results issued by a recognised testing laboratory confirming that
the samples conform to the requirements of this specification shall accompany the
sample.

The jointing sand shall be broomed to fill the joints. Excess sand shall then be
removed from the pavement surface and the jointing sand shall be compacted with
not less than one (1) pass the the plate vibrator and joints refilled with sand to full
depth. This procedure shall be repeated until all joints are completely filled with
sand. No traffic shall be permitted to use the pavement until all joints have been
completely filled with sand and compacted.
 Both the sand and paving units shall be dry when sand is spread and broomed into
the joints to prevent premature setting of the sand.

The difference in level (lipping) between adjacent units shall not exceed 3mm with
not more than 1% in any 3m x 3m area exceeding 2mm. Pavements which is
deformed beyond above limits after final compaction, shall be taken out and
reconstructed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

4.7.6 Edge Restraint

Edge restraints need to be sufficiently robust to withstand override by the
anticipated traffic, to withstand thermal expansion and to prevent loss of the laying
course material from beneath the surface course. The edge restraint should
present a vertical face down to the level of the underside of the laying course.

The surface course should not be vibrated until the edge restraint, together with
any bedding or concrete haunching, has gained sufficient strength. It is essential
that edge restraints are adequately secured.

4.7.7 Laying Patterns.

Details of laying pattern should be specified before commencement of laying.
Typical laying patterns are enclosed.

4.7.8 Sampling of Paver blocks.

1.Method of sampling
Before laying paver blocks, each designated section comprising not more than
50000 blocks, shall be divided into ten approximately equal groups. Three
blocks shall be drawn from each group.

2.Marking and Identification

All samples shall be clearly marked at the time of sampling in such a way that
the designated section of part thereof, and the consignment represented by the
sample, are clearly defined.
The sample shall be dispatched to the approved test laboratory taking
precaution to avoid damage to the paving in transit. Protect the paving from
damage and contamination until they have been tested. The testing shall be

4.8 Procedure for Testing of Compressive Strength of Paver Blocks.

Reference : BS 6717 Part-I (1993) Specification for Paving Blocks

1 TESTING MACHINE : The testing machines shall be of suitable capacity for

the test and capable of applying the load at the rate specified. It shall
comply, as regards repeatability and accuracy with the requirements of
relevant ISI specs.

2 PROCEDURE : The sample specimens shall be tested in wet condition after

being stored for at least 24 hours, in water maintained at a temperature of 20
degrees C5 degrees C. before the specimens are submerged in water, the
necessary area shall be determined by the method described in Appendix A
.
The plates of the testing machine shall be wiped clean and any loose grit or
other material removed from the contact faces of the specimen. Plywood
nominally 4mm thick, shall be used as packing between the upper and
lower faces of the specimen and the machine plates, and these boards shall
be larger than the specimen by a margin of at least 5mm at all points. Fresh
packing shall be used for each specimen tested. The specimen shall be
placed in the machine with the wearing surface in a horizontal plane and in
such away that the axes of the specimen are aligned with those of the
machine plates. The load shall be applied without shock and increased
continuously at the rate of Approximately 15 N/sqmm per minute until no
greater load can be sustained. The maximum load applied to the specimen
shall be recorded.

CALCULATION OF CORRECTED STRENGTH : The compressive strength of

each block specimen shall be calculated by dividing the maximum load by full
cross section area and multiplying by an appropriate factors.

Thickness And Chamfer Correction Factors
