Convenorship of Dr. L. R. Kadiyali, and Sh. M. C. Vankatesha, as Member-Secretary of
the Rigid Pavement Committee. Since then the technology for road construction has
undergone considerable changes and MOSRTH Specification for Road and Bridge Works
has been revised. Therefore a need was felt to update the standard to include the use of
mineral admixtures, fibres, plasticizers/superlistizers etc. The fourth draft revision was
prepared by the subgroup comprising ofSh. R.K. Jain (Chairman), Dr. S.C Maiti, Member
and Sh. Satander Kumar, Member-Secretary of Rigid Pavement Committee. While
finalising the draft, intense consultation was held with Sh V. K. Sinha, Convenor. The draft
was deliberated in detail by the Rigid Pavement Committee held on 6th March 2010 at
IRC office.
