CHAPTER 2
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
Road perimeter was measured under the guidance of PWD Assistant Engineer
and Overseer. After getting total area of the road pavement traffic zones and speed
breaker requirements were analyzed. This process will be ongoing throughout the
construction project, to obtain different permits at different times. Working with an
experienced construction firm aids this process immensely.
The work shall consist of all the required excavation within the limits of the
right of way unless covered by other sections of these specifications. This shall include
excavation of side ditches, where required, the removal, hauling and proper utilization
or disposal of all excavated materials and shaping of excavation and preparation of
exposed surfaces of excavation on the entire length of the roadway, in accordance with
these specifications and to the lines, levels, grades, dimensions and cross sections. The
5
works specified shall also include operations in part widths and small areas of roadway
where directed by the Engineer without any extra cost to the employer.
Soil is one of the vita construction materials that is applied for the construction
of road, embankment, earthen dam. The method of excavating the soil deliver to the
other place and placing it is known as Earthwork. The quantity of earthwork differs
from millions of cubic meters to 100 cubic meters. Earthwork involves the loosening,
removal and handling of earth quantities in the construction process. Earthworks are
carried out to provide a level terrace or bench with an even, longitudinal slope, on
which the drainage and camber can be built. The figure 2.1 is shows the earth work
excavation.
2.1.4 Embankment
The earthen material, which is get laid and compacted to raise the grade line of a
proposed roadway above the original ground level of the existing ground, is called
embankment. Embankment design considerations include filling height, the material
used, settlement consideration and stability analysis. In case of grater fill height and
weak soil, ground improvement is necessary to control the settlement of the base
course. After the construction due to consolidation or fill height settlement or both the
embankment may settle.
Wet mix macadam work includes laying and compacting clean, crushed, graded
aggregate and granular material, premixed with water, to a dense mass on a prepared
GSB layer or existing pavement as per the requirement of the project. Wet mix
macadam can be laid in one or more layers, but the thickness of the single compacted
layer is 75mm, and the maximum of 200mm. Vibrating roller and 80 kn power road
rollers are used for compaction.
Providing and laying, spreading and compacting graded stone aggregate to Wet
mix macadam (WMM) specification including premixing the material with water at
OMC in mechanical mix plant carriage to mixed material by tipper to site laying in
uniform layers with paver in sub base / base course are well prepared surface and
compacting with vibratory roller and achieved the desired density completed as per
clause 406 of MORTH specifications. The figure 2.3 shows the laying of WMM.
It is the layer immediately under the wearing surface. As base course lies close
under the pavement surface it is subjected to severe loading. The pavement surface it is
subjected to severe loading. The material in a base course must be of extremely high
quality and it construction must be done carefully.

Binder course layer is an intermediate layer between base course and surface
layer. It is the first layer in case of two-layer bituminous resurfacing. Bituminous
binder course is made of bituminous aggregate mixture also called as leveling course.
This is the lower part of the surfacing and it is typically made of a asphalt concrete
with different grading of aggregates and types and quantities of binder depending on
the particular needs of the road being build.
Bitumen surface and base courses shall consist of fine and coarse aggregates
and mineral filler uniformly mixed with but hot bituminous material, are placed and
compacted on prepared base as specified. The figure 2.6 shows the bituminous binder
course.
Tack coat is a thin layer of asphalt that ensures the binding between old and new
asphalt layers. It is also used in construction or for renovation of roads to achieve better
strength. Tack coat is also known as bitumen. Tack coats functions as bonding agents
between each lift of a pavement section to create the desired monolithic pavement
structure. A tack coat is sprayed application of asphalt material upon an existing
asphalt pavement prior to an overlay, or between layers of new bitumen road.
Providing and laying tack coat of 2kgs/10 sqm over the BT surface treated with
binder using 2 kgs of bituminous Emulsion (RS) for 10square meter area including
cost of bituminous binder, including. Tack coat was applied by the required quantity of
bituminous binder as tack coat manually. Tack coat was completed as per 503 of
MORTH Specifications
The wearing course is the upper layer in roadway, airfield, and dockyard
construction. The term surface course is sometimes used, however this term is slightly
different as it can be used to describe very thin surface layers such as chip seal. Surface
course which is made of Bitumen material is a mix of bitumen and aggregate 5% and
95% respectively. In surface course treatment, large size aggregates are placed in the
lower section and small size aggregates are placed in the upper section.
and conveyed the mix by wheelbarrow to site, spreading the mix in required
temperature for uniform thickness of 50 mm with mechanical paver to the specified
grades and cross sections and compaction by Vibratory roller to the required density.
The figure 2.7 shows the surface course.
A bituminous surface treatment, also known as a seal coat or chip seal, is a thin
protective wearing surface that is applied to a pavement or base course. Bituminous
surface treatments can provide a waterproof layer to protect the underlying pavement.
Increased skid resistance. A final coat of bituminous material applied during
construction to a bituminous macadam for sealing the surface of the pavement.
Seal coat was provided and laying 20mm compacted thick Premix carpet with
seal coat type B using 0.18 cum of 13.2 mm IRC size HBG metal and 0.09 cum of
11.20 mm IRC size HBG metal with 14.60 kgs of of bitumen for premixing per 10
sqm of premix carpet and 0.06 cum of Sand with 6.00 kgs of bitumen for seal coat type
B per 10 sqm, heating the bitumen and aggregates to required temperature and mixing
them in required temperature for premix carpet in central hot mix plant 20- 30 tones
capacity and conveyed the mix by wheelbarrows to paver site, spreading the mix in
required temperature for uniform thickness of 20 mm with mechanical paver to the
specified grades and cross sections and compacted by 80-100 KN power roller for
premix carpet and seal coat separately to the required density. The figure 2.8 shows
the seal coat providing.
It is highly appreciable about the fact that bitumen has a favorable melting point
that helps in both surface dressing and wearing resistance with case. Naturally bitumen
is sticky, tar-like form of petroleum that is so thick and heavy that it must be heated or
diluted before it will flow. Refined bitumen is the residual fraction obtained by
fractional distillation of crude oil. It is the heaviest fraction and the one with the
highest boiling point, boiling at 5250C (9770F).
Bitumen has a melting point of around 240 degrees Fahrenheit which is high
enough to be safely used for roadways designs and low enough to be heated up without
using a large amount of energy. The softening point of a bituminous material can be
defined as the temperature at which this bituminous material further softens after its
arbitrary softness point is reached. The bitumen is melted by using bitumen boiler
shows in figure 2.9
Bitumen drum mix plant is also called Hot mix plant. The ultimate mixer of
bitumen, fine aggregate, course aggregate and filler together gives final result of drum
mix plant output. Primarily for road construction, cold aggregate mixer from wet mix
macadam pant is allowed to spread to form final layer of road. Drum mix plant of
different capacities ranging from 30 to 90 tons. Drum mix plant consist of cold bin
feeder, drying drum, dust collector, burner, bitumen storage tank and bitumen supply
system.
Mini hot mix plant separate paddle shaft type pugmill provided for positive
mixing of the bitumen and aggregate. Integral boiler made from 3.15mm thick tested
steel sheets provided in the Hot mix plant with proper lifting arrangement for easy
loading of Bitumen from Barrels. The figure 2.10 shows the hot mix plant.
Construction companies use wheelbarrows to move sand, dirt and other heavy
materials. They can be used for hauling away scrap and debris or rubble left at a
construction site. Wheelbarrows are also good for mixing concrete. Professional
landscapers use wheelbarrows to move soil, gravel. In our construction site
wheelbarrows are used to convey the bituminous macadam and other construction
materials shows in figure 2.11

CONCLUSION
The practical training was undertaken for the duration of four weeks during
third semester. The training is very effective and useful. In this training a lot of things
are learned about the bitumen road construction and learned lot of knowledge about
material management, labour management and safety management and ability to
show good performance in the field of construction. During the practical training
various differences between the theoretical and the practical methods are to be found.
