Machinery and Equipment ‘To carry out proof rolling test, the proof roller and equipment that shall be provided by the Contractor to the approval of the $.0. are as follows: (a) Tandem axle, dual wheel truck with (Suitable loading platform (ii) Max. gross weight with load/ballast : 50 000 kg (50 tonnes) (b) Heavy pneumatic tyres with (Number oftyre — :2n0s. per axle (i) Tyre size 508 mm Gil) Tyre pressure: 1080 kPa(150 (© Swsight edge (@)_~—_ Hand penetrometer (© Tyre pressure gauge “The proof roller shall have a platform that is suitable for loading and supported on at east wo axes ‘witht not more than iwo prematic tyres wheel per axe. The Contractor shall ensure that al the Wwineels and the load shall be properly rogulated to ensure thatthe lord carried are balanced and stable when operating on uneven sures. Im working condition, the proof roller also shall have a minimum contact width of 2.3m between the two tyres per axle and it shall be well designed because gross weight of loaded truck may be various uniformity from 25 000 kg (25 tonnes) o 50 000 kg (50 tonnes) of Loading. Before the proof rolling test started, the actual weight of the roller and the tyre pressure to be used in each test area shall be determined, The actual weight of the proof roller shall refer tothe largest ‘weight of the proof roller, while the tyre pressure shall be the lowest tyre pressure that ean be considered practicable, all subject to the approval ofthe 8.0. ‘Testing Procedure Before commencing the proof rolling test, the Contractor shall ensure that all the requirements specified under the Clause 17.2 has been prepared and complicd to the approval of the S.0. ‘Tyre pressure of proof roller shall be ensured not less than 90% of 1030 KPa (150 psi) during weight of loads increased to $0 000 kg ($0 tonnes). ‘Tho proof rolling test machine shall be operated within the speed 4.0km/h to 8.0knvh or a sar-1comfortable walking pace, The speed proof roller shall be adjusted to allow measurement of settlement, cracking, elastic movement oF plastic movement from the effects of tyre rut at its path. 213.4 Proof rolling test shall be carried out systematically in longitudinal lanes. It shall be commenced ulside one edge of the area to be proof rolled and consecutive lanes shall overlap each other to ensure thet every part of the surface to be proof rolled reveives at least 5 coverage of two tyre oF the roller, Only one tip of the proof roller shall be made on any area, 213.8 ‘The proof rolling test shall not be performed during contitions of the subgrade layer is too dry or oo wet and the testing also shall not be done at a distance of less than 4.6 m from the bridge abutment and/or retaining wall. 24 Evaluation of Testing 21.4.1 ‘The vertical deforn measured as per 1.5m stands placed con sub-prade level 150mm ire Deformation Limit (EDL) 21.42 The subgrade layer shall be checked to ensure i has complied with the test requirements. The results ofthe test shall be evaluated as follows:- (2) Thetyre nuts settlement or deflection less than 25 mm shall be acceptable. (b) In general, if the tyre ruts settlement or deflection exceeding 25 mm but not more than 150 inv shall be considered a failure and the Contractor shall be reworked and compacted to the required density. (©) Buti the results show the tyre rus settlement or deflection exceeding 25 mm but not more than 50 mam, it can still be accepted if there is not substantial cracking or lateral movement of the soi (@ Ir the tyre ruts settlement or deflection exceeding $0 mm but not more than 150 mm, it shall be considered a failure, The Contractor shall be reworked and compacted to the required density, (©) Otherwise ifthe tyre ruts settlement or deflection exceeding 150 mm, the Contractor shall bbe done the remedial works as directed by the §.0. and in accordance with the Clause 17.5 of this Specification. sai-2143 218 215. 2152 2153 215.4 ass 2136 215.7 215.8 Additional proof rolling test shall bo carried out as specified follows: (8) When remedial work is performed under Item 17.4.1 (e), @ final proof rolling test shall be performed upon completion of the work. (b) Otherwise if remedial work is performed as dirested under Item 17.4.1 (b) or Hem 17.4.1 (@,a second proof rolling tet roll may be required if directed by the S.0. Remedial Works for Soft Subgrade ‘Where proof rolling fest indicates arcas of sof subgrade or areas of non-uniform subgrade stability {Ge the areas results in deflection exceeding 130 min), the S.0, shall investigate fr the source of the problem by directing the Contractor to carry out the test pit ‘The test pit depth of 0.6m to 1.Sm shall be excavated at the failure location by using the excavator or backhoe of as directed by the S.0. Test pit shall be excavated across the width of the subgrade at locations that have faile. Further investigation of the soft subgrade shall be done in terms ofthe subgrade materials, moisture content test and density. ‘The subgrade shall be corrected to @ uniform and satisfactory stability as directed by the $.0. If satisfactory subgrade stability cannot be obtained by moisture control and compaction, the Contractor shall be removed the top 300 mm (or as directed by the $.0.) of the sof materials and replaced with suitable materials up to the formation level as shown on the Drawings “Then the replacement materials shall be compacted tothe required density as per Specification. “The test pits shall be filled out correctly and backfill with suitable material, The backfill materials shall be compacted layer by layer to the required density as per Specifications ‘A final proof rolling test shall be performed upon completion of the work to check the u and stability of the subgrade compaction in compliance with the Specification requirements formity [No payment shall be made for excavation, re-compaction or compaction of other suitable material required as a result ofthis Clause if itis shown that the Contractor if tis shown that the Contractor {ails to comply with the requirements of the Spectfieations of Clause 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 in Section 2: Earthworks. 21-3216 APPENI : EXAMPLES TO MEASURE PROOF ROLLING TEST, 20m 3.6m 35m (Slow Lane) (FastLane) 4 conte 4 RI | eee ge ae ee “a Ta Figure 20.2: The proof rolling fest shall be earried out at 5 paths per lane Straight Edge (Gauge) (450 mm Heigh!) ll a Fart a Ri Straight Edge (Gauge) J (150 mm Height) Figure 20.3: The proof rolling test measurement sai-4' the proof rolling test was accepted because the deflection ess sham 25 mu CASE 2: 3 =190mm—1s0mm, = 40mm Failed ?/ Acceptable’ 2 The proof rolling test was failed Because the deflection exceeding 25 mm but not more than 150mm.
