Study Notes
Compact Pavement and Bituminous Concrete Surface Course
- Compacted Pavement: Testing procedures correspond to those outlined in Item 307.
- Bituminous Concrete Surface Course: Involves constructing a hot-laid surface with aggregates, mineral filler, and bituminous material.
- Bituminous Materials: Quantity required is between 5 to 8 mass percent of the total mix; a quality test per every 40 tons or fraction thereof is mandated.
Portland Cement Concrete Pavement
- Cement Quantity: 9.0 bags of cement per cubic meter (40 kg/bag); quality tests required at intervals of 2,000 bags.
- Fine Aggregate: Varies based on aggregate type—0.50 m²/m³ for rounded, 0.54 m²/m³ for angular/crushed; testing frequency based on volume of concrete.
- Comprehensive Testing: Includes grading, plasticity, CBR, and density tests based on the volume of mixed concrete and compacting depth.
Crushed Aggregate Base Course
- Material Composition: Requires crushed gravel, stone, or rock on prepared substrate.
- Testing: Same procedures as Item 201 with additional fractured face tests at specified volumes.
Lime Stabilized Road Mix Base Course
- Foundation Composition: Combines soil aggregates with lime (3-12 mass percent) and water.
-
Testing Protocols:
- Grading and plasticity tests per volume, focusing on quality assurance.
- Field density tests and thickness determination for compacted layers.
Bituminous Seal Coat
- Application: Involves applying bituminous material potentially with aggregate on existing surfaces.
- Materials Quantity: Bituminous materials range from 0.2 to 1.5 L/m² with specific weight ranges for cover aggregates.
- Testing for Aggregates: Grading tests every 75 m³ or fraction thereof.
Bituminous Surface Treatment
- Procedure: Consists of applying a single or double layer of bituminous materials followed by aggregate spreading.
- Aggregate Usage: Quantities vary based on asphalt type, with specific testing for grading and plasticity required at designated volumes.
Bituminous Penetration Macadam Pavement
- Layer Composition: Involves crushed aggregates with specified quantities for each layer and application of bituminous materials.
- Testing for Quality: Includes quality tests per volume and grading assessments based on previous testing results.
Underdrains
- Components: Constructed from pipe and granular filter materials for effective drainage.
- Testing Protocols: Quality tests for concrete and clay pipes, ensuring structural integrity and dimensional accuracy.
Manholes, Inlets, and Catchbasins
- Construction Practices: Involve building or adjusting drainage structures from concrete.
- Quality Assurance: Tests follow Item 405 specifications with additional requirements for lids and frames through inspection.
Drainage Steel Grating with Frame
- Design Specifications: Steel frames must exceed nominal sizes of standard industry pits by 15 mm, ensuring effective drainage functionality.
