METHODOLOGY FOR APPLICATION OF WATER PROOFING
MEMBRANE INSTEAD OF MASTIC ASPHALT ON CONCRETE BRIDGE
DECKS
23.1 Scope:
 This work shall consist of furnishing and laying of 4mm thick water proofing
membrane on concrete bridge decks for water proofing.
23.2 Reference:
 Latest Specification and Product Technical Brochure.
23.3 Equipment’s:
 Gas Cylinder, trowel, wire brushes, Gas cutter, measuring tape, knife,
compressor, and wooden flat/PVC Pipe.
23.4 Materials:
 Water proofing membrane: Water proofing membrane consists of high strength
reinforcement in layers of heat resistant rubberized asphalt. The reinforcement
and rubberized asphalt interact to form a tough membrane that remains flexible
through a wide range of temperature and movements. The tacky rubberized
asphalt assures quick adhesion to the deck.
 Primer: It is a special primer which affords a good adhesion of the membrane to
the concrete deck. It provides a tight water seal and the same time allows gases
in the concrete to escape.

 34.6 Procedure for Casting of Piles:
a) Setting Out:
 Prior to the start of piling operations, setting out stations and bench marks will be
established at site. Pile point will be established using total station and marked
with a steel pin/wooden peg. After casing installation the casing will again be
surveyed to determine that it is within tolerance.
b) Boring of Piles:
 The excavation of clay-based material down to the top of first sand layer will be
excavated by auger. At the sand layer, bentonite will be added to the pile bore
and boring will continue by drilling bucket. Constant level of bentonite will be
maintained to stabilize the shaft and level of bentonite will be kept at a minimum
of 1.5 m above the water table. Continuous supply of bentonite solution will be
maintained to avoid any collapse of adjacent soil. This process will continue until
pile toe level has been reached. The drilling tools are designed to allow adequate
free flow of bentonite during tool extraction. Operation of boring, lowering of cage,
flushing of bore and concreting of pile for full length will be accomplished in one
continuous operation as far as possible.
c) Reinforcement Cage:
 The reinforcement cages will be fabricated at site as far as possible near the pile
location. To prevent damage and distortion the cages will be lifted at two points
and carried vertically to the pile. Reinforcement cage will be made either in one
piece of entire length of pile or in two / three pieces and splicing of bars will be
done with sufficient lap length or couplers. Cage will be lowered with the service
crane.
d) Bentonite Replacement:
 During excavation specific gravity of bentonite becomes high. Prior to concreting,
this heavy bentonite must be replaced by light one. To achieve this, 250 mm dia
tremie pipe will be lowered to the pile base with flushing head on top. Fresh
bentonite will be pumped through the tremie to replace the existing solution till the
specific gravity of bentonite becomes less than 1.05 g/cc. However this

procedure must be limited to prevent over excavation and loosening of the pile
base material. Bentonite suspension shall have the following properties:
 The density of bentonite suspension to 1.05 g/cc
 The marsh cone viscosity between 30 and 40
 The pH value between 9.5 and 12
 The silt content less than 1 per cent
 The liquid limit of bentonite not less than 400 per cent
e) Concreting:
 As soon as possible, after the pile and bentonite have been cleaned, high
workability retarded concrete (slump – 150 to 180 mm) will be delivered to the
pile location in transit mixer. A concrete hopper with plug will replace the flushing
head. The first charge of concrete will be placed with a plug when pulled will push
down the concrete. The concrete will be poured rapidly into the hopper and
continue until flow ceases in the pipe. The tremie pipe will be raised slightly until
flow recommences and concrete discharge will continue. Tremie pipe should
always be kept full of concrete. To ensure compaction by hydraulic static heads,
rate of placing concrete in the pile shaft shall be maintained at minimum 6m per
hour. After each truckload of concrete, the depth of concrete will be measured &
recorded. The tremie will be split as the concrete proceeds to ensure a free flow
and a minimum embedment depth of tremie. The concreting operation will
continue until its level is at least 1.0m above pile cut-off level. In case of
interruption during concreting, guidelines mentioned in clause 7.5 and
subsequent sub clause 7.5.1, 7.5.2 & 7.5.2.1 of IS: 2911 (Part I/ sec 2) 1979 will
be followed. The casing will be extracted by heavy-duty crane.
 34.7 Records:
 Rebar casing dimensions
 Pile depth measuring format (shall be checked by chain method).
 Compressive strength & Slump record
 Liquid limit of bentonite.

METHODOLOGY FOR MEASUREMENT OF SURFACEUNEVENNESS
BY AUTOMATIC ROAD UNEVENNESS RECORDER
 36.1 Objective:
 Towed fifth wheel bump integrator test is to be conducted on bituminous surface
to evaluate surface regularity.
 36.2 Scope:
 This work shall consist of measurement and determination of surface
unevenness by “Automatic Road Unevenness Recorder” also known as
“Bump Integrator” on finished Bitumen layer (BC) before allowing the
traffic.
 36.3 Reference:
 IRC: SP:16-2004
 36.4 Equipment:
 It comprises of a trailer of Single wheel with a pneumatic tyre mounted on a
chassis over which an integrated device is fitted. The machine has a panel board
fitted with two sets of electromagnetic counters for counting the unevenness
index value

 Four Wheeler/Utility vehicle for attaching the bump integrator, pilot vehicle and
broomer for cleaning the bituminous surface.
 36.5 Testing Procedure:
 Operation of the Bump integrator:
a) Calibrated fifth wheel bump integrator shall be used for checking the unevenness
of bituminous surface.
b) The Bump integrator should be towed by a vehicle at a speed of 32 +1 km/hr. A
jeep or Utility vehicle with a canvass body is eminently suitable because it affords
opportunities for the driver to keep a watch on the unit. The jeep or utility should
have sound suspension system. The tyre pressure of 2.1 kg/cm 2 in the rear
wheels of the jeep or utility should be same.
c) Before carrying out tests it is advisable to check the following items:
1) Tyre pressure is 2.1 kg/cm2 (30 PSI).
2) All the bolts of the towing hitch and the bracket fixed with the towing vehicle
are tight.
3) The caster-wheel adjustable jacks are removed from the Bump integrator.
4) Tyre pressure gauge and foot pump kept in towing vehicle.
5) Spare like integrator cords, tool-kit, dipstick and fluid for the dashpots kept in
the Towing vehicle.
6) The relevant result-recording forms are also kept with the counter-board.
Comprehensive notes should be taken giving particulars of test length, width of
road, type of surfacing and any other relevant details needed. The machine
drives over the test section of road at a speed of 32 +/- 1 kmph. Normally in the
nearside wheel track of the nearside lane (position of machine on road is
dependent on purpose of measurements). At the beginning of the section, the
observer having set the counters to zero operates the on/off switch to on-position
on the instrument board. At the end of the section the observer changes over to
the second set of counters, which are then set to zeros thus allowing continuous
measurements. The readings of the integrating and wheel-revolution counters are
entered. The test section should not be less than 1000m.
Processing of results obtained with Bump integrator

ii) The Distance travelled in Km.
 Each set of readings (BI reading and corresponding distance travelled)
arerequired to be converted to the unevenness index value (UI value) in terms of
cm/km.
 Readings of bump integrator has to be noted down from the display for each
1000m.
 The unevenness index value for the test section is arrived for each 1000m stretch
using the equation from calibration.
 The unevenness index value is calculated by dividing the BI counters values (in
cm) by the distance traveled in km.
The Unevenness Index = Integrator Counter value

Distance travelled (km)
As per IRC SP-73-2007 the unevenness value should not be more than 2000/km
