THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN Ministry of Public Works & Housing Directorate of Planning & Development Specifications “for Highway and Bridge Construction Volume (I) Part (1): General Provisions 1991 Sta 625.7 J82sTHE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN Ministry of Public Works & Housing Directorate of Planning & Development Specifications for Highway and Bridge Construction Volume (I) Part (1): General Provisions 1991PREFACE This book contains the new and updated standard specifications for construction of Roads and Bridges. This updating maintains the original specifications issued in (1974), but has drawn extensively on experience gained in road construction in Jordan and other Middle East countries. The appropriate standard Specifications from AASHTO. and ASTM. as well as the British Standards have been used to form the basis of this document standard specifications; the Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait standards have also been referred to, where similar conditions prevail. For some sections of the specifications it was necessary to draw upon specialist services for information, for example from Federal Bureau of Highway, Asphalt Intstitue. Concrete Institute (ACI), Jordan Oil Refinery, Cement factory and other local specialized technical corporations. This new book of specifications was prepared by Dar Al-Handasah Consultants (Shair & Partners) and was reveiwed by various technical committees manned by engineers of diversified experience from the Ministry of Public Works & Housing, Professional Associations, Locai contractors and consultants, This book contains specifications for those items of works, materials and construction methods that are generally applicable to the Ministry of Public Works & Housing contracts, but it is adaptable for use by other agencies. This standard specifications constitute the master volume which consists of (8) parts as follows: Part 1: General Provisions Part 2: Earthworks Part 3: Sub-base & Base Couirses Part 4: Bituminous Construction Part 5: Concrete, Steel & Structures Part 6: Lighting, Traffic Signals & Electrical installations Part 7: Landscaping & Irrigation Part 8: Incidental construction The master volume (8 Parts) is sub divided into four volumes as follows: Volume t—: Part 1 Volume I]: Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 Volume III: Part $ Volume IV: Part 6, Part 7, Past 8 The Arabic transl; n for this specification is available at MPWH., In this occasion, I would like to affirm my gratitude to those contributed to, the preparation, revision and issuance of this general standard specifications. I believe that such specifications shall actively develop the constructions sector with the directions of the government under the leadership of His Majesty King Hussain.
