Trial Section of DBM - Grading II

I Trial Section Details:

1 Length of the trial section 100 m
2 Width of the trial section 4.25 m
3 Thickness of the layer 75 mm

II Plants & Equipment:

1 Tippers for material transporting
2 Sensor Pavar
3 Tandem Vibratory Roller
4 Pneumatic Roller
5 Thickness Gauge
6 Levelling Instument

III Work Sequence:

The DBM material will be spread on the prepared/approved primed WMM surface with
1
the help of senser paver in uniform thickness of 85 mm.
2 The initial rolling (Break down rolling) will be done with vibratory roller with out vibratio
3 Rolling will be done while the material is still workable enough to enable the removal of
any roller marks.

IV Conclusion:
Degree of Compaction achievd more than 98%, with 8 nos. passess (1 Plain + 3
Vibratory + 3 PTR + 1 Plain Passess) at the compaction factor is 15.29%. So as required
compacted layer, the loose thickness will be 19% more than the required compacted
layer.
