    Types of Road in Bhutan


    1. 2. 3. National Highways Dzongkhag Roads Farm Roads

    1. National Highways
    a.
    b. c.
    Asian Highway (Currently the existing Phuentsholing-Thimphu Highway) Primary National Highway (existing East-West Highway) Secondary National Highway (Currently District Roads)
    Shoulder 1500 Carriageway 6500
    50mm DBM + 25mm AC

    Shoulder 1500

    L-Drain 1000

    Base Course = 150mm Sub base = 210mm

    Subgrade CBR = 7%

    Hard Shoulder Compacted Granular Soil Soling

    Primary National Highway


    Shoulder 1500 Carriageway 3500
    25mm PMC

    Shoulder 1500

    L-Drain 1000

    Base Course = 150mm Sub base = 190mm

    Subgrade CBR = 7%

    Hard Shoulder Compacted Granular Soil Soling

    Secondary National Highway

    2. Dzongkhag Roads Currently feeder Roads Connects a Dzongkhag centre and a Dungkhag Centre etc.

    Shoulder 500

    Carriageway 3500

    Shoulder 500

    L-Drain 600

    Base Course = 150mm Sub base = 150mm

    Subgrade CBR = 7%

    Hard Shoulder Compacted Granular Soil Soling

    Dzongkhag Road

    3. Farm Roads Roads that link farmland areas/villages.


    Shoulder 500 Carriageway 3500 Shoulder 500 L-Drain 600

    Base Course = 120mm Sub base = 140mm

    Subgrade CBR = 7%

    Hard Shoulder Compacted Granular Soil Note: If the traffice is less than 10-15 vpd, single layer base course should sufice Soling

    WHAT WE DO IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

    MAJOR ACTIVITIES
    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. FORMATION CUTTIN G SUB-GRADE PREPARATION BASE COURSE & BLACK TOPPING SHOULDER PERMANENT WORKS BRIDGES

    1. FORMATION CUTTING
    SLOPE GRADIENT GEOMETRIC DISPOSAL OF SPOIL

    FORMATION CUTTING

    2. SUB-GRADE PREPARATION
    In order to maintain stable and durable sub-grade, uniform consolidation to be incorporated Sub-grade act as a cushion for other layers i.e. In order to achieve durable road sub-grade should be strong. Maintain proper Camber

    CAMBER

    SUB-GRADE PREPARATION

    3. BASE COURSE & BLACK TOPPING


    Type I (Old) Base course = 150 + 100 = 250mm thickness 150mm = 40-63mm, (Rolling) 100mm = 20-50mm, (Rolling) Premix = 25mm + blinding material (Rolling by applying water) Sand Seal coat Resurfacing: 20mm Type II (New) Granular Sub-Base (GSB) coarse graded (70mm below) Wet Mix Macadam (WMM) (40 mm, 20 mm, 10 mm & Soil) mix with water Dense Bitumen Macadam (DBM) 20mm + Bitumen Asphalt Concrete 10mm + Bitumen Thickness depends upon the actual design for a road

    Base Course & Type - I


    Sand Seal Coat Premix: 10mm + bitumen, Rolling by applying water

    Base Course: 150mm ( 20-50mm), Rolling


    Base Course: 150mm ( 40-63mm), Rolling Sub-Grade Preparation

    Base Course & Type - II


    Asphalt Concrete 10mm + Bitumen Dense Bitumen Macadam (DBM) 20mm + Bitumen

    Wet Mix Macadam (WMM), 10 to 40mm plus soil with water & rolling
    Granular Sub Grade ( 70mm below), rolling Sub-Grade Preparation

    TYPE - I

    TYPE - II

    4. SHOULDER:

    A hard area at the side of a main road, especially a motorway, where a driver can stop if there is a serious problem Shoulder should be strong enough to resist any types of vehicle Maintain proper compaction as per the design Width and thickness should be as per the specification
