SCOPE OF WORK
This specification covers the supply, preparation of sub base, base & top bituminous
courses, requirements of materials, necessary equipments, testing, transportation, etc., for
asphalt / paving works.
3.0
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
All the materials & construction procedures adopted for asphalt road/paving works shall
conform to MORT & H specifications & IRC 37.
3.1
SETTING OUT & LEVELLING

The Contractor shall be responsible for accurate and proper setting out of the work with
respect to dimensions, alignments and levels of the work in conformity with the drawings.
The Contractor at his own cost shall be provide all necessary instruments, equipment,
labours for this purpose. Any error discovered, at any time, during the progress of work or
thereafter, in the dimensions, alignment or level of part or all of work, the Contractor shall
at his own expense rectify the errors to the satisfaction of the Owner/Consultant. Any
checking of line or level by the Owner/Consultant shall in no way relieve the Contractor of
his responsibilities.
3.2
CLEARING & STRIPPING

The Contractor shall clear the site of all shrubs, roots and grass or any vegetation and any
other organic/non-organic impurities. At least minimum 150 mm thick top soil to be
removed. The exposed surface (subgrade) shall be consolidated properly to obtain 90 %
of maximum laboratory dry density of soil.
Any kind of under ground construction, which is existing in place & is an obstruction to
the future construction activities shall be removed.
3.3
PREPARATION OF SUBGRADE
The preparation of subgrade includes all operations before the pavement structure to be
laid over it and compacted. Thus the preparation of subgrade would include site clearance,
grading (embankment or cut section) and compaction to desired density at optimum
moisture. The subgrade may be situated on embankment, excavation or at the existing
ground surface. In all cases the Contractor shall clear the site of all shrubs, roots and
grass or any vegetation and any other organic/non-organic impurities, minimum 150mm
thick topsoil to be removed. The exposed surface (subgrade) shall be consolidated
properly to obtain 90% of maximum laboratory dry density of soil. Any kind of underground
construction, which is existing in place & is an obstruction to the future construction
activities, shall be removed.
The grading operations shall be started thereafter so as to bring the profile of the subgrade to
designed grade and compaction where necessary. The original ground shall be leveled to
facilitate placement of first layer of embankment, scarified, mixed with water and then
compacted by rolling so as to achieve minimum specified dry density.
If the difference between the subgrade level (top of the subgrade on which pavement rests)
and ground level is less than 0.5m and the ground does not have 95% relative compaction

The binder content shall be optimised to achieve the requirements of the mixture set out in
table 7 and the traffic volume specified in the contract. The Marshall method for determining
the optimum binder content shall be adopted as described in the Asphalt Institute Manual
MS-2, replacing the aggregates retained on the 26.5 mm sieve by the aggregates passing the
26.5 mm sieve and retained on the 22.4 mm sieve, where approved by the engineer.
Where 40mm dense bituminous macadam mixture is specified, the modified Marshall
method described in MS-2 shall be used. This method requires modified equipment and
procedure; particularly the minimum stability values in Table 7 shall be multiplied by 2.25 and
the minimum flow shall be 3mm.
Job mix formula
The contractor shall inform the Engineer in writing, at least 20 days before the start of the
work, of the job mix formula proposed for use in the works, and shall give the following
details:
i) Source and location of all materials
ii) Proportions of all materials expressed as follows where each is applicable
a)
Binder type, and percentage by weight of total mixture
b)
Coarse aggregate / fine aggregate / mineral filler as percentage by weight of
total aggregate including mineral filler
iii) A single definite percentage passing each sieve for the mixed aggregate
iv) The individual gradings of the individual aggregate fractions, and the proportion of each
in the combined grading.
v) The results of tests enumerated in Table 7 as obtained by the Contractor
vi) Where the mixer is a batch mixer, the individual weights of each type of aggregate and
binder per batch.
vii) Test results of physical characteristics of aggregates to be used
viii) Mixing temperature and compacting temperature
While establishing the job mix formula, the contractor shall ensure that it is based on a
correct and truly representative sample of the materials that will actually be used in the work
and that the mixture and its different ingredients satisfy the physical and strength
requirements of these specifications.
Approval of the job mix formula shall be based on independent testing by the Engineer for
which samples of all ingredients of the mix shall be furnished by the contractor as required by
the Engineer.

The approved job mix formula shall remain effective unless and until a revised Job Mix
Formula is approved. Should a change in the source of minerals be proposed, a
new job mix formula shall be forwarded to the Engineer for approval before the placing of the
material .
Plant trials permissible variation in job mix formula
Once the laboratory job mix formula is approved, the contractor shall carryout plant trials at
the mixer to establish that the plant can be set up to produce a uniform mix conforming to the
approved job mix formula. The permissible variations of the individual percentages of the

containers made of steel or aluminum. Containers made of zinc, copper, polythene PVC

cause irritation when in contact with human skin and are also irritating to the eyes,
protective gloves for hands, goggles for the eyes shall be used while handling them,
specially in case of liquid anti-stripping agents.

Mixing Procedure During Construction : The required dose of the anti-stripping agent
shall be poured into the hot bitumen tank and allowed 15 to 30 minutes of circulation or
stirred to ensure a homogeneous mix. It is necessary to use a stable anti-stripping agent
or increase the dose according to expected degradation. Alternatively, the correct dose
shall be injected into the bitumen line by means of pump. The agent is fed into the
bitumen first before it is sprayed on the aggregate in the mix; thus, no separate mixing
time for mixing the agent with bitumen is required. In rolled asphalt and bitumen mastic
surfacing works, precoated chippings are pressed into the hard surface while the mix is
still hot to make the newly laid surface skid resistant. These chippings shall be precoated
with bitumen treated with anti-stripping compound.
