 1. Introduction

 Granular Sub Base shall consist of well-graded material (which serves as a drainage layer) in
accordance with the requirements of MoRT&H and Technical Specification clause 400 and
Table : 400-1. The material shall be laid in one layer as sub-base and necessary according to
lines, grades and cross-sections as shown in drawings.
The material to be used for the work shall be crushed stone. The material shall be free from
organic or other deleterious constituents and conform to the required specifications.

Single sized aggregates tested for gradation and mixed in suitable proportions so that the combined
gradation obtained is nearer to the middle of the specification limits. After arriving suitable
proportions, samples were collected from individual stock piles and tested for Physical tests like
Proctor density, Water Absorption, California Bearing Ratio, 10% Fines Value, Plasticity Index .

 8. METHODOLOGY
The various stages involved in Laying Granular Sub Base course are as follows.
Preparation: Immediately prior to the laying of sub-base, the formation level already finished shall
be prepared by removing all vegetation and other extraneous matters.
Light sprinkling of water and rolling with one or two passes of smooth wheel roller will be carried
out, if necessary.
Spreading: The sub-base material of specified grading will be transported to site from crusher by
tippers, it will be laid in 200 mm thick. layer Spreading will be carried out to the required slope and
grades by using motor grader having hydraulic controls.
Compaction: Before commencing rolling, moisture content of spread material is to be checked. The
moisture content should be in the range of +1% to –2% of Optimum Moisture Content as determined
in laboratory. If the moisture is within the limits specified, rolling will be carried out with 80-100KN
roller. Rolling will be continued till the density achieved is at least 98% of maximum dry density.
Quality Assurance: Samples shall be collected from site for every 200 m3 of material and tested for
gradation and plasticity index. If the material delivered to site does not meet the required
specifications, necessary rectification is to be done and tested for its requirements. After compaction
Field Density has to be carried out at frequency one set for 500 Sqm of area.
 Trial Length
Trial Length of size 40m x 3.5m was prepared on a well-compacted surface. G.S.B. material from
stockpile was dumped and levelled to the required thickness. After spreading, samples collected from
trial length tested the gradation and moisture content. Rolling was started after ensuring the moisture
content is with in the limits of +1% to –2% of Optimum Moisture content. Density achieved is tested
for every 2,4,6,8,10 passes of roller. Number of passes required to achieve 98% compaction is
determined by plotting graph between Density achieved and No.of passes.
