8.2 Performance of Quality Control on materials
8.2.1 Testing Facilities
Before the Contractor initiates earthworks, asphalt paving, concrete works etc.,
the corresponding test facilities must be available, i.e.
(a) Laboratories must be built and equipped; (b) Laboratory equipment must be
procured and tested; (c) Test forms must be prepared; and (d) Laboratory technicians
must be employed and trained.
An illustrative list of minimum equipment needed for the site laboratory is enclosed
at Appendix-I. The Contractor may also get the tests carried out in recognized testing
laboratories outside for tests of a special nature not covered by the equipment indicated
in Table 8.2. Such testing must be preceded by approval of the Engineer. The testing
equipment must be regularly serviced as recommended by the suppliers. A calibration
chart must be available for each equipment. Forms for laboratory testing are given in
Appendix II.
8.2.2 Test Specification
Specification usually describe test methods by referring to standard methods issued by
Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport & Highways (MOSRTH), the American Standards
for Testing Materials (ASTM), the American Association of State Highway and
27
Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the British Standards (BS) and the Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS).
8.2.3 Testing Frequency
The frequency of technical control is usually laid down by the Consultants at the
beginning of a project and is generally related to the specifications. A testing plan giving
the testing frequency, standards, acceptance criteria and agency responsible for the
tests must be prepared by the Contractor and got approved by the Engineer. Appendix II
gives the Quality Control Tests and Acceptance Criteria, assembled from IRC and
MOSRTH documents.
8.2.4 Method Control
Method control is carried out according to the type of work. Where the work method is
of considerable importance and requires constant supervision to achieve the quality, or
where in some case, the quality is difficult to improve on, there should always be a field
engineer on the site. Examples are the ramming of piles, the laying of asphalt, and
concreting etc. Where work methods are of less importance or quality is constantly being
achieved by the contractor, there may be no need for continuous surveillance. Examples
are excavation and compaction of soil.
8.2.5 End-result Control
The frequency of end-result control depends on the quality parameters that are to be
checked. Parameters which can vary considerably are continuously controlled. As
regards regulating laboratory tests the specification usually determines the number of
tests. When the works are started and in cases where difficulties as regards compliance
with quality requirements are encountered, laboratory testing will normally be intensified.
8.2.6 Quality Parameters
Quality parameters which are usually more or less constant, e.g. the Los Angeles
Strength of stone materials from the same quarry, are only controlled occasionally. The
same applies to parameters which can be checked fairly well with the naked eye, e.g. the
particle form of crushed stone. As regards the quality of manufactured materials
produced by using advanced technology, e.g. steel and bitumen, one usually trusts the
manufacturer`s certificates, but when in doubt carry out additional tests.
8.2.7 Reporting of Test Results
The test results must be recorded systematically in a register, which must be
signed by the testing authority and the representative of the Engineer, if present during
the tests. Form V-6 gives the format for daily tests on highway works.
28
8.2.8 Interpretation of Test Results
The test results should be plotted on a graph sheet showing the dates/sample
numbers on the x-axis and the test values on the yaxis. The statistical “warning limits”
and “action limits” should be indicated on these graphs. When any test results falls
outside the “warning limits”, the cause should be investigated and suitable corrective
action taken. When any test result falls outside the “action limits”, the process should be
stopped, and a thorough investigation made into the entire process, and the cause for
faulty performance determined. Suitable remedial action should be immediately taken
and the process brought under control.
8.2.9 Statistical Quality Control
Quality control based individual tests do not ensure well defined qualities of a
product. One has therefore, for many years in the industry, used statistical methods
where works and supplies are approved or rejected after an evaluation of the average
and standard deviation of a number of test results. Similar methods are gradually
gaining way in the road construction sector, and today it is not unusual to use statistical
methods for the quality control. The IRC Handbook on Quality Control (SP-11) may be
consulted for guidance. The use of Control Charts for establishing the trend line, and the
time when corrective steps are to be taken is recommended.
8.3 APPROVAL OF QUARRIES, BURROW AREAS AND MATERIALS
The Contractor is to obtain approval from the Material Engineer through the
Resident Engineer for each Quarry and Borrow Area to be used in the project prior to
commencement of quarrying and/or borrow area excavation activities. The primary
considerations to be considered by the Engineer in granting approval are: • The
proposed materials meet specification requirements • The Contractor has legal approval
by the owner to excavate/remove materials from the proposed quarry/borrow area • The
Contractor submits an acceptable “Environmental Management Plan” for development;
use and closing down of the proposed quarry/borrow area, together with any other
approvals or documents that may be required from the Ministry of Environment and
Forests or other concerned authorities.
The steps to be followed for approval of each Quarry/Borrow Area are:
(a) The Contractor is to complete the “Materials Sources Data” form giving details
regarding size, location, orientation and access for the proposed quarry/borrow area
(rough map to be drawn). Also, to be included are the list of materials to be sourced for
the project works (e.g. embankment, GSB, WMM etc.), and the estimated quantities for
these materials.
29
(b) The results of laboratory tests conducted on the materials jointly sampled with the
Consultant’s Material Engineer (or his designated representative) are to be summarized
on the approval form, and complete copies of all tests are to be attached to the form.
(c) The Contractor is to attach to the completed “Materials Sources Data” form, a letter,
or some other form of written acknowledgement, that indicates that the owner of the
quarry/borrow area agrees to the Contractor removing the proposed types and quantities
of materials indicated in the form.
(d) The Contractor attaches to the completed “Material Sources Data” form, his
proposed “Environmental Management Plan” for development, use and closing down of
the proposed quarry/ borrow area. Photographs of the sources site, including access
roads, etc. should be included with the proposal so that the base line conditions of the
Quarry/Borrow Area to be clearly established.
(e) Following receipt of the proposal for approval of quarry(ies)/borrow area(s), the
Resident Engineer is to dispatch a team consisting of the Environmental Officer and
Materials Engineer to inspect the proposed site, who will then report on their findings to
the Resident Engineer.
(f) Based on the Contractor’s proposal, and on the site inspection team’s comments, the
Authority’s Engineer will reply to the Contractor in accordance with the one of the
following:
(i) The Quarry/Borrow Area is approved as proposed.
(ii) The proposed Quarry/Borrow Area is approved subject to one or more required
changes/additions etc. (to be detailed by the Authority’s Engineer) (iii) The contractor is
requested to revise and re-submit all or part of the proposal submittal, giving details of
required changes, additional requirements etc.
(iv) The proposed Quarry/Borrow Area is rejected.
8.4 APPROVAL OF MATERIALS
8.4.1 General
All materials proposed by the contractor to be used in the project works are to be
approved first. In general, there are four types of materials to be approved.
(a) Natural Materials – materials with little or no processing except for perhaps screening
for oversize and removal of unsuitable particles, etc. An example of this is soil
embankment materials.
(b) Processed Materials – materials that require significant processing, including
removal of unsuitable particles, crushing, screening and perhaps, blending of sizes.
30
These materials are homogeneous, but with specified gradations. An example of this is
Wet Mixed Macadam Base Course.
(c) Manufactured Materials – especially homogeneous construction materials, like
Portland cement and bitumen, that are used for blending with natural materials (generally
soil or aggregate) to obtain a pavement mix.
(d) Designed Materials- materials that involve the mixture, to specific proportions of two
or more different, natural, processed or manufactured materials to obtain a modified
material giving a set of desired specific properties.
Approval of each of the above material types is required, however the requirements for
obtaining approval of materials for each type differs slightly.
8.4.1 Approval of Natural Materials
Natural materials are mined (i.e., excavated) and hence the first step, following
assurance that the material(s) is acceptable for its intended purpose, is to obtain
approval for the Borrow Area or Quarry.
Approval of the material for construction is then obtained by submittal of test results for
all tests required by the Specifications (i.e., to prove that the material meets all minimum
properties required), and, in some cases, by construction of trial sections to prove that
this material can be placed in the field so as to attain minimum required field properties
(e.g. to meet minimum density, etc.)
8.4.2 Approval of Processed Materials
Approval of processed materials follows that noted above for “natural” materials, except
that usually the specifications are tighter (e.g. the material may also have to meet
stringent gradation limits), and a greater variety of tests (and production/storage)
conditions are required to be met.
8.4.3 Approval of Manufactured Materials
Approval of manufactured materials, based on specific Specifications requirements, is
generally given in two stages.
(a) Initial Approval – given prior to receipt of the materials based on submittal of
appropriate testing results confirmed by the manufacturer (note that claims by
manufactures, or tests etc. by distributors, etc. are not to be accepted).
(b) Final Approval – given based on initial approval plus positive results being obtained
for all “acceptance” tests required by the Specifications, or as directed by the Engineer.
The Quality Assurance System and plan of the manufacturer shall also be examined
before approval.
8.4.4 Approval of Designed Materials
31
Approval of “designed” materials for the project concerns those mix designs for Cement
Concrete (for concrete pavements, box culverts, bridges etc) and Asphaltic Concrete
(flexible pavement materials including bituminous macadam, dense bituminous
macadam, bituminous concrete, mixed seal surfacing, semi dense bituminous concrete
and seal coat). Due to the complexity of these “mixed” materials, and the plants for
producing the range of materials sizes, final approval is deferred until completion of the
following steps:
(a) Approval of sources (generally quarries) for each of the processed material
constituents to be included in the final mix design.
(b) Approval of each of the individual processed materials and manufactured materials to
be included in the final mix design.
(c) Tentative approval of a laboratory-based mix design, based on a mixture of approved
materials so that the mixture meets all Specifications requirements.
(d) Tentative approval of a plant mix design, based on proportioning of aggregate bins
materials and manufactured materials to closely approximate the proportioning of
material types/sizes finalized for the laboratory-based mix design (i.e. and so that the
mixture still meets the minimum Specifications requirements). (e) Conduct trial section of
works (off the project site) using the tentatively approved plant mix design and placing
the mixture in accordance with a previously approved construction methodology that
conforms to Specifications requirements.
(f) Based on successful laying of the mixture in accordance to the approved
Methodology, conformance of the placed mixture to required placing temperatures, levels
and finish, etc. and conformance to quality control requirements as verified by successful
testing in accordance with the Specifications, the Material Engineer is to give final
approval of the mix design based on the plant mix proportions.
8.5 SAMPLING OF MATERIALS
8.5.1 Sampling Requirements
All construction materials to be used in the permanent works are to be sampled jointly by
the Consultant and Contractor prior to commencement of the Works. This includes
sampling for materials to be tested for proposing approval of the material source as well
as sampling of materials for approval of the individual construction materials. In both
cases, and for each instance, the Contractor will give notification of a request for such
sampling to the Authority’s Engineer in advance (minimum 48 hours) by way of the
Inspection Request Form (IRF). All assistance (e.g. sampling instruments and
equipment, sample bags, and labour etc.) that is required for carrying out the sampling
32
activities will be provided by the Contractor. For sampling activities, the Authority’s
Engineer is to be represented by the Material Engineer or his appointee.
8.5.2 Sampling Guidelines
All sampling is to be carried out in accordance with instructions to be given by the
Consultant. Sampling procedures are to follow recognized guidelines of good
engineering practice. These include:
(a) Obtaining samples from at least three areas.
(b) Ensuring that the sampled materials and locations are “typical” for the material to be
tested.
(c) Ensuring that all overburden etc. is removed within the stockpiles rather than from the
surface (top, side or base of the stockpile) in order to avoid the collection of segregated
materials.
(d) Ensure that sufficient quantities are sampled to enable all tests to the conducted, plus
additional material, to be stored for subsequent testing if required.
(e) Ensure that each sample bag is marked/labeled both inside and outside, giving the
sample number, material type, sample location, date and number of the bag, as well as
any additional information instructed by the Material Engineer or his appointee.
8.5.3 Preparation and Storage of Samples
Samples collected are reduced and prepared as per standard methods (Indian
Standards), with an additional sufficient quantity retained in appropriately sealed bag(s)
or container(s) and separately kept in the sample storage room of the laboratory for
additional testing and/or future reference as required. Concrete samples in particular are
to be carefully cured and kept in the curing tank of the laboratory. Access to stored
samples is under the strict direct control of the Consultant’s Material Engineer. Details of
all samples stored are to be kept in a register to be administered by the Material
Engineer.
8.5.4 Field Testing Laboratory
The Field-Testing Laboratory, including all furniture, testing equipment and apparatus as
required by the Specifications is to be provided and maintained by the Contractor
together with the provision of all necessary utilities (e.g. electricity, water, sewerage and
drainage). The design and layout of the laboratory is to be approved by the Resident
Engineer based on recommendations by the Material Engineer. It is the responsibility of
the Contractor to ensure that the laboratory is proficiently guarded at all times of the day
and night (i.e. to control access and maintain security), is cleaned daily and is properly
maintained. Testing equipment and apparatus are to be initially approved, and
33
subsequently periodically checked, by the Authority’s Engineer to assure proper
operation, accuracy, correct calibration and complete conformance to all Specifications
requirements. Likewise, all testing procedures detailed in the Specifications and
procedures instructed by the Material Engineer as part of his Quality Control and Quality
Assurance Plan are to be strictly adhered to by the Contractor. The Authority’s Engineer
is to supervise, monitor and check all aspects of the testing procedures, including sample
storage, preparation, testing and analysis and reporting of testing results. All relevant
material testing details related to sample preparation, testing and analysis of results are
to the recorded on the relevant standard testing form(s) given in Appendix II.
8.5.5 Acceptance Testing
8.5.5.1 General
All materials included in the construction works for which quality control tests are
specified, and for which approval by the Engineer has been previously given, are to be
inspected and checked for acceptability in accordance with the Specifications
requirements.
Any of the completed construction works in which unapproved and/or untested
and/or unaccepted materials are incorporated without approval or written permission
from the consultant are deemed performed at the Contractor’s risk and are considered as
unacceptable and unauthorized.
8.5.5.2 Routine Acceptance Tests 1111
All sampling and quality control testing, as well as check tests to verify quality of
materials, are to be conducted by the Contractor at his own expense under the direct
supervision of the Consultant. The kind(s) of test(s) and frequency of testing should
conform to the Minimum Quality Control Testing Requirements of the MOSRTH
Specifications. Sampling and Testing should be in accordance with the relevant IS
methods. Tests are to be reported on proper forms, samples of which are shown in
Appendix II.

moisture content and moisture content corresponding to 25
blows were noted as Liquid Limit of the soil.
Plastic Limit –
About 20gms of soil passing through 425mic. Were
collected and mixed with distilled water. Prepare a ball and
roll it with a pressure sufficient to make thread of 3mm dia
throughout. When the diameter of the thread was decreased
to 3mm the specimen is kneaded together and rolled out
again. Continue the process until the thread just crumbles at
3mm diameter. The moisture content of the crumbed portion
were determined and represented as Plastic Limit of the soil.

1. C NAME OF TEST : CBR (4 Days Soaked)
DEFINITION : This is a penetration test developed by the California
Division of Highways as a method for evaluating the stability
of soil subgrade and other flexible materials.
SCOPE : The CBR test is essentially an arbitrary strength test.
The test is meant for soils and is also carried out on sub-
base and granular base course materials.
APPARATUS REQ. : CBR M/c, CBR mould, standard rammer, 19mm IS
Sieve, Electronic weighing balance, plunger 50mm in dia,
spacer disc, brass perforated plate annular weights of 2.5kg
& filter paper
PROCEDURE : The air-dried sample was collected in an enamel tray
and was compacted to 97% of the MDD of the sample. The
representative sample was kept for determining the moisture
content of the sample and was allowed to soak in water. The
dial gauge was placed on the mould in the top and initial
reading was noted. For each day the soaking in the mould
was noted. The initial and final reading of the dial gauge
gives the % swelling in the soil. The mould was removed
from the tank and kept outside in slanting for 15 min. to
drain out. The mould was positioned on the m/c for testing
and started. The plunger was positioned and proving ring &
dial gauge reading were made zero. The plunger was
allowed to penetrate @ 1.25mmpermin. and proving ring
readings corresponding to different levels of penetration
depth were noted. The graph was plotted between the
penetration depth and proving ring readings and value at
2.5mm and 5mm penetration were noted and calculated for
CBR value. The higher value will be represented as CBR
Value, if CBR value of 5mm penetration is more than 2.5mm
penetration, then the test is to be repeated. If in the repeat
test also the same results persist then the 5mm penetration
value will be presented as CBR VALUE of the soil.
OBSERVATION : AS PER ANNEXURE ENCLOSED
LIMITS : Should be more than 7%

calibrating container with internal dia a 200mm dia hole in the centre tray.
200mm and internal depth 250mm
APPARATUS: Common for all i.e. Soil, GSB and bedding material tests are:
(iv) Tools for excavating holes i.e. scraper, screwdriver, painted-steel rod
(v) Clean, uniformly graded 1.00mm passing and 600micron retained sand. It is generally
standard sand grade I, grade II and grade III.

PROCEDURE:
(1) Sand cylinder is filled with the sand up to certain weight and record the same say
W1
(2) Sand cylinder along with sand must be placed over a glass plate on a leveled
surface.
(3) Now sand is allowed to run out from the sand cylinder over the glass plate by
opening the shutter of sand pouring cylinder. When no further movement of sand
takes place in the cylinder the shutter shall be closed and the cylinder removed
carefully and wet again and record the said weight say W2
(4) Repeat the procedure (1) Then Place the sand pouring cylinder over the
calibrating Container and allow the sand to run out from the sand pouring cylinder
by opening the shutter of sand pouring cylinder. When no further movement of
sand takes place in the cylinder the shutter shall be closed and the cylinder
removed carefully and weihed again and record the said weight say W3
Density of soil
1) Sand cylinder is filled with the sand upto the certain weight
and record the same, say W1

4) With the help of excavating tool soil is dug upto the
compacted thickness that is 250mm(Maximum) inside the
circular opening portion of the tray
CALCULATION
W1-Wf-Wc
Volume of hole (Vh) = CC
Density of sand
Acceptance criteria
Mean density is not less than 1.65 - 1.65 times the standard
deviation (Number of samples)0.5
Standard Deviation: j

APPLICABILITY:
For a large stretch of road where density is required to be determined it may not be
possible to achieve the specified percentage of compaction at all locations. Standard
deviation application may give the good result.

PROCEDURE:
II) The concrete shall be poured in to the cone in 4 layers, each layer should be
provided with 25 strokes by the tamping rod. After the top layer has been
completed, the surface of the top layer shall be finished level using a trowel.
III) Immediately after this, the cone shall be taken out slowly from its base.
IV) Then the slump value shall be measured by using a steel scale (the other side of
the tamping rod is used for that).
V) The difference between the height of the cone & the subsided concrete after
removal of the cone is known as Slump Value. Slump Value is measured in mm.

4. C NAME OF TEST : FLASH & FIRE POINT
DEFINITION : Flash point - Flash point of a material is the lowest
temperature at which the vapour of a substance
momentarily takes fire in the form of a flash under specified
condition of test.
Fire point - Fire point is the lowest temperature at which the
material gets ignited and burns under specified condition of
test.
SCOPE : It gives the guideline for preheating of Bitumen for
mixing without causing any accident.
APPARATUS REQ. : Pensky - martins closed cup apparatus, heater,
Thermometer
PROCEDURE : The material is filled into the cup upto a filling mark.
The bitumen sample is then heated, the test flame is lit and
adjusted in such a way that the size of a beed is of 4mm
diameter.
The heating is done at the rate of 5 0C to 6 0C per min.
The stirring is done at the rate of 60 rev. per min.
The test flame is applied at intervals depending upon the
expected flash and fire point.
First application is made atleast 17 0C below the actual flash
point and then at every 1 to 3 0C.
The stirring is discontinued during the application of the test
flame.
Flash point is taken as the temp. read on the thermometer at
the time of the flame application that causes a bright flash in
the interior of the cup in closed system.
The heating is continued until the volatiles ignite and the
material continues to burn for 5 sec. Recorded as the fire
point.
OBSERVATION : AS PER ANNEXURE ENCLOSED
LIMITS : It is specified that in closed cup system, the test
result should not differ from the mean by more than 3 0C for
material flashing above 1040C and not more than 10C from
the mean for materials flashing below 1040C.
