CBR Tests Appendix 6/7 Site Investigation and Capping Layer Requirements
1 For the purpose of pavement design in-situ CBR tests are not
permissible. CBR values are to be evaluated by laboratory
testing in accordance with BS 1377 (1990) on remoulded soil.
2 In general for short lengths of road less than 100 metres long,
where CBR values span several ranges, it is not acceptable to
Capping Layer vary the capping layer thickness. A single capping layer
Thickness thickness is to be adopted based on the lower bound CBR
values over the full length of the road. Similarly where CBR
values fall above and below the criteria for the provision of a
capping layer the lower CBR values dictate that a capping
layer should be provided throughout the length of the road.
For longer roads, the thickness of the capping layers must be
constant for at least 100 metres in length before its thickness
may be varied. These criteria may be altered by the Head of
Roads and Transportation depending upon ground conditions
prevailing at the site. Where no CBR values are available from
the ground investigation a full capping layer 600mm thick is
required.

Design Life 2 Unless agreed otherwise with the Head of Roads and
Transportation, pavements shall be designed for a 40 year life,
a traffic growth rate of 4% per annum and a minimum
construction required to carry 0.5 million standard axles for
any road.
PSV's and AAV's 4 The following material requirements relate to the designs
covered in Table 10.2. Where pavements are being designed
for specific circumstances, the material requirements are to be
agreed with the Head of Roads and Transportation. In this
connection it should be noted that requirements for Polished
Stone Values and Aggregate Abrasion Values are dependent
upon site layouts as well as the number of commercial
vehicles at the design life, and shall conform with the
requirements of HD 21/92 " Requirements for Aggregate
Properties for New Bituminous Surfacing"

910 - Recipe type F mix 50 pen. to Table 6 Column 6/4 Core Road

(as Core Road) but minimum PSV 45 and maximum
AAV 14 (See 4 above). These should be spread not
less than 60% of the shoulder to shoulder cover.

2 All kerbs shall be laid and bedded using 10 to 40mm thick bed of
mortarto designation (i) Table 24/1 on a foundation of, and
haunched with, ST1 concrete to the dimensions as stated in
Figures 10.5 and 10.6 of the Guidelines.
8 The minimum length of part kerbs shall be 1/2 kerb length. Kerbs
shall be mitred at junctions or internal or angle kerbs shall be
used. All precast kerbs shall be butt jointed with gaps not
exceeding 3mm. Where mitring is necessary, the same tolerance
shall apply.

(v) The water used for mixing concrete shall be obtained from
a source approved by the Engineer.
(xii) Once the concrete has been fully compacted and trowelled
to a smooth finish, it shall be left for a period of between
two and three hours after which further trowelling shall be
undertaken. Should water be brought to the surf ace as a
result of this operation, the concrete shall be left for a
further period of one hour and the process repeated as
often as is necessary until no surface water is produced by
the trowelling action. Thereafter the surface shall be
marked out in panels (not exceeding 0.6m x 0.6m) and
indented with a granolithic roller.
