These require adoption of latest Intrnational practices so as to echieva technical ‘exccellence and the best quali. Concrete bridges have aso undergone major changes with sdeveopment of new structural forms, new methods of computer based analysis and design {and development of high strength materials, IRC:112 for conerete bridges based on the limit state method has come into force. Over the past few years, many IRC codes have also been completely revised necessitating extensive changes inthe Ministry’ specifications for road and bridge works. ‘Some ofthe important addtions inthis revision of Speciestons for Road and Bridge Works caver stone mastic asphalt, microsurfacing, sand asphalt base course, prefabricated vertical rains (PVD), natural geo textes, geo calls for use in base and sub bese in pavement ‘and siope protection, variable message sign boards, sol naling, cold applied retrovefective pints, ausible and vibratory pavement markings, solar powered road markers, traffic ‘contol & safety devices in construction zone, traffic impact altenuators and advance trafic ‘management system. Some of the new areas covered in aridges include high performance conereie, HOPE sheathings, Pol-PTFE bearings, jack down method of wel sinking, dynamic: testing of piles and mechanically woven wire craigs for gabions, ‘The Fith Revision of the Specifcations for Road and Eridge Works is the result of the: Concerted efforts ofthe officers of the Roads Wing and other professionals who contbuted to the drafting ofthis cocument. | wish to express my gralitude to all of them and the Indian Roads Congress for undertaking the assignment of bringing out this publication Feedback end suggestion for further Improvement would be welcome from users of this Co (©.
