II. CONSTRUCTION METHOD
II.1 Construction of sub grade layers

II.1.1 On the embankment
Below flowchart shows the sequence:
Figure 2.1 Flowchart of sub grade layer on the embankment
Quarry/material sources
Aggregate sub grade material was selected from approved sources in accordance with
specification.

Figure 2.2 Quarry material for sub grade
Transportation
Sub grade material was transported to site by using dump truck.
Spreading
The sub grade material was placed in uniform layers so that the compacted depth did
not exceed 15cm. Spreading work had been done by excavator and motor grader for
perfection.
Figure 2.3 Excavator spread granular fill for sub grade

Compaction
Immediately followed final spreading and smoothing, each layer was compacted to full
width by compacter. Rolling was gradually progress from the low to the high point of the
cross section, parallel to the center line of the road, and shall continue until the entire
surface has been rolled.
Any irregularities or depressions that was developed, was corrected by loosening the
material until the surface was smooth and uniform. For the places that had no
accessible for the roller, the material was compacted by using hand stamper. The
material was both bladed and rolled until a smooth, even surface had been obtained.
Figure 2.4 Sub grade compaction
Test
The sub grade layers were test by density and CBR to met required specification.
Figure 2.5 Sub grade compaction test

Degree of compaction
The layers of sub grade, to 20cm depth, below the sub grade layer were compacted to
at least 100% of the maximum dry density as determined according to AASHTO T99.
The minimum CBR that require for sub grade in pavement works was 6%.
II.1.2 In earth cut

Below flowchart shows the sequence:
Figure 2.6 Flowchart of sub grade on earth cut
Earth cut
The level of sub grade was formed to the correct transverse and longitudinal profiles but
at grade level higher than the final grade in order to allow for the effect of compaction.
Compaction
The soil surface/level was compacted with roller. Prior to compaction, the moisture
content was adjusted by watering with sprinkler trucks or by drying out, as required, in
order that the degree of compaction specified may be attained.

Quarry/material source
Aggregate sub grade material was selected from approved sources in accordance with
specification.
Crushing at stone crusher

Material that has been approved transported to stone crusher for crushed purpose.
Excavator and dump truck was used for excavation and transportation works.
Mixing
Mixing had been done by using excavator at location of stone crusher. All aggregate
was free from organic matter and lumps of clay or other deleterious matters and the
grading was conformed to the grading requirement as shown on specification.
Transportation
Crushed stone that have been mixed was transported to site by using dump truck.
Spreading
The granular base material A and B was placed in uniform layers so that the compacted
depth was not exceeding 15cm. spreading by using motor grader.

Compaction
Immediately followed final spreading and smoothing, each layer was compacted to full
width by compacter. Rolling was gradually progress from the low to the high point of the
cross section, parallel to the center line of the road, and shall continue until the entire
surface has been rolled.
Any irregularities or depressions that was developed, was corrected by loosening the
material until the surface was smooth and uniform. For the places that had no
material was both bladed and rolled until a smooth, even surface had been obtained.

The density of compaction surface/layers were compacted to at least 100% of the
maximum dry density as determined according to AASHTO T180. The finished surface
had been uniform, dense and even.

II.3 Construction of asphalt treated base (ATB) and asphalt concrete (AC) layers
Figure 2.11 Flowchart of ATB and AC layer
Preparation of surface
Immediately before applying the bituminous material, all loose dirt another objectionable
material was removed from surface with air compressor.
Figure 2.12 Preparation land with air compressor

- Mixing at asphalt mixing plant

The dried aggregate was combined in the mixer in the amount of each fraction of
aggregates required to meet the job mix formula. The bituminous material was
measured or gauged and introduced into the mixer in the amount specified by the
job-mix formula. After the required amounts of aggregate and bituminous material
have been introduced into the mixer, the material was mixed until a complete and
uniform coating of the particles and a thorough distribution of the bituminous material
throughout the aggregate was secured.
Figure 2.13 Asphalt mixing plant
- Transportation
The mixture was transported from the mixing plant to the point of use by dump truck.
No loads were sent out so late in the day as to prevent completion of the spreading
and compaction of the mixture during daylight hours. At the night works, satisfactory
illumination was provided.

Spraying of prime coat or tack coat

Prime coat or tack coat was applied to the width of the section to be primed by means of
a bitumen distributor in a uniform, continuous spread. The rate of application of prime
coat was usually being in the range of 1.0 to 2.5 kg/sqm. The rate of application of tack
coat was usually being in range of 0.4 to 0.8 kg/sqm.
Figure 2.15 Spraying prime or tack coat
Spreading
The mixture was laid upon an approved surface, spread and struck off to the grade and
elevation established. Asphalt paver was used to distribute the mixture either width or
over such partial width as it practical. On areas where irregularities or unavoidable
obstacles made the use of mechanical spread and finishing equipment impracticable.

The mixture was spread, raked, and lute by hand tools. For such area the mixture was
dumped, spread and screed to give required compaction thickness.
Figure 2.16 Spreading asphalt
Compacting
After the mixture had been spread, struck off and surface irregularities adjustment. It
was throughout and uniform compacted by using rolling. The surface was rolled when
the mixture is in the proper condition and when the rolling did not cause undue
displacement, cracking and shoving.
Roller was moved at slow but uniform speed with the drive roll or wheels nearest the
paver. Rolling began at the sides and proceeds longitudinally parallel to the road center
line. Each trip was overlapping one-half the roller width, and then gradually progressing
to the crown at the road.
The surface level of pavement had been test. The specific gravity of the consolidated
mixture, as determined by AASHTO T230, was not less than 95 percent of the specific
gravity of laboratory compacted specimens that was composed of the same material in
like proportion. Laboratory specimen was consist of the mixture compacted by the
procedure of AASHTO T167.

- Scarifying the existing pavement
The existing pavement was sacrificed by scarifier in a depth of minimum 5cm, to
make good connection with the base A layer.
- Spreading base A layer
The granular base material A was placed in uniform layer so that the compacted
depth was not exceeding 15cm. Motor grader was used for spreading.

- Compaction
Immediately followed final spreading and smoothing, each layer was compacted to
full width by compacter. Rolling was gradually progress from the low to the high
point of the cross section, parallel to the center line of the road, and shall continue
until the entire surface has been rolled.
Any irregularities or depressions that was developed, was corrected by loosening
the material until the surface was smooth and uniform. For the places that had no
material was both bladed and rolled until a smooth, even surface had been
obtained.
- Degree of compaction
The density of compaction surface/layers were compacted to at least 100% of the
maximum modified dry density as determined according to AASHTO T180. The
finished surface had been uniform, dense and even.
Spraying of tack coat/prime coat

Tack coat/prime coat was applied to the width of the section to be primed by means of a
bitumen distributor in a uniform, continuous spread. The rate of application of prime coat
will usually be in range of 1.0 to 2.5 kg/sqm. The rate of application of tack coat will
usually be in range of 0.4 to 0.8 kg/sqm.

Spreading of ATB/ATBL layer

The mixture of ATB/ATBL was laid upon an approved surface, spread and struck off to
the grade and elevation established. Asphalt paver was used to distribute the mixture
either over the entire width or over such partial width as may be practical. On areas
where irregularities or unavoidable made the use of mechanical spread and finishing
equipment impracticable, the mixture was spread, raked and lute by hand tools. For
such area, the mixture shall dumped, spread and screed to give required compacted
thickness.

The mixture of asphalt concrete was laid upon an approved surface, spread and struck
off to the grade and elevation established. Asphalt paver was used to distribute the
mixture either width or over such partial width as it practical. On areas where
irregularities or unavoidable obstacles made the use of mechanical spread and finishing
equipment impracticable. The mixture was spread, raked, and lute by hand tools. For
such area the mixture was dumped, spread and screed to give required compaction
thickness.
