The use of tractors or loaders to push material deposited at one location to another location in the stockpile will not be allowed during the construction of the stockpile and their use shall be limited to levelling the deposited material only. 3.2.2.3 Construction Requirements a, Equipment 1. Spreaders: Spreaders / pavers shall be self-propelled and shall be capable of spreading the base materials in one operation so as to make it ready for compaction with minimum shaping. Spreader shall be provided with a screed that strikes off and distributes the material to the required width and level. Width of each spread shall not be less than a traffic lane wide. Screed shall be adjustable to the required cross-section. Screed action Page 3-12 CHAPTER 3: PAVEMENT First Edition -January 2018,STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS PART 1 —ROADS includes any practical motion that produces a finished surface texture of uniform appearance. 2, Travel mixers: Travel mixers shall be of a type which is capable of mixing to the full depth of the layer thickness being processed, by picking up the material, mixing, agitating or otherwise blending into a homogeneous mass which complies with the required general gradation and other specifications. Mixers shall be equipped with an accurate depth control device to avoid the disturbance of previously accepted layers. After mixing, the material shall be deposited by the mixer in its final position so that prior to compaction no spotting, picking-up or otherwise shifting the material will be required. Mixers may be equipped with pressure spray bars which can supply a uniform distribution of metered water during the mixing process. 3. Central mixers: A central mixing plant shall be eithef of an approved drum or pugmill type with a moisture control system so that the material may be spréad without further mixing or processing. b. Surface Preparation Prior to commencing the construction of the baSe courses, the Contractofishall make sure that the subbase complies with the specifications and that the Surface thereof Complies with the levels and slopes shown in the longitudinal and cross:seetion Contract plans. niall cases the approval of the Engineer must be obtained before conimencing spreading of material for the base courses. ¢. Screening and Mixture of the Materials Screening shall be required fof the material Used/in aggre¥atebase courses. Soreens shall be of the size and number required to remove oversize aggregate and, if necessary, to separate the materials into two or more fra¢tions so that they may be combined to meet the required gradation. When conveyor belt samples fromthe end of the Séreéning and/or crushing-screening operation yield a product consistently within the specified gradation, no further mixing shall be required and the material may be loaded and hauled directly to the stockpile. In the event the material is stockpiled, it shall be stockpiled so as to prevent segregation. Mixing of material shall be achieved through the use of the central mixing plant or travel mixer specified in sub-article a) of Article 3.2.2.3, Where separate size materials are to be blended to meet the gradation, such blending shall be as directed by the Engineer and shall be accomplished prior to delivery to the roadway. Mixing of separate materials on the roadway by motor grader will not be permitted by the Engineer. 4. Spreading and Compaction After carrying out the screening and mixing of aggregate material, samples of the approved ‘material shall be taken in order to determine the optimum moisture content. Material shall then be spread on the prepared surface by mechanical paver / spreader in layers not more than 150 mm compacted thickness to achieve the total thickness as shown on the Contract plans. After spreading and before compaction the gradation shall be checked by the engineer for its compliance with specifications. Care shall be taken in spreading and compacting the aggregate base not to damage the geotextile fabric, if provided. It is required to use 50 mm thick crushed sand on top of the geotextile to protect, the geotextile during spreading the subsequent aggregate layer. Existing moisture content of materials constituting the base courses shall be determined. If the existing moisture content is less than the optimum moisture content, the necessary amount of water must be added to obtain the optimum moisture content allowing for the quantity which may be lost by evaporation in the process of raking, levelling and compacting. Layer shall be ‘compacted when the moisture content therein is within + 2 % of the optimum moisture content and uniform in all parts of the section and depths within the layer thickness. Page 3-13 CHAPTER 3: PAVEMENT First Edition -January 2018,STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS PART 1 —ROADS ‘Compaction shall start immediately thereafter, by means of pneumatic and stee! rollers or vibratory rollers and in accordance with the Engineer's approval or instructions, ‘Compaction shall start with rollers from extreme sides proceeding gradually toward the road axis, Rolling shall continue until a relative density of not less than 100% of the maximum dry density has been obtained as determined by the moisture-density relationship test, AASHTO T-180. CBR of the base material shall not be less than 65% @ 98% MDD. ¢. Multidayers During the operations of mixing, spreading, compacting and levelling of base course material, care shall be taken so that layers already compacted under the layer being executed are not affected, or that the finished subgrade or subbase surface is also not affected)\This requirement shall be given special attention in places where equipment makes turns in going back and forth and any such damage resulting in mixing the various layers constituting the different subgrade, subbase and base courses shall be carefully made good by the Contractor athis expense and to the satisfaction of the Engineer. If more than one base course is required for.seachingythe required thickness described in the specifications, each such course shall be consffucted as specified herein. Where the finished total compacted thickness, exceeds 150 mmyseach layer shall be executed in composite layers not exceeding 150 mpirthicknessater compactiomunless otherwise approved by the Engineer. f. Protection of Surface Contractor shall protect the base course so that if shall bajm&ifflained sound during work progress, after its completion and priog. to receiving the bituminous layers or prior to laying the surface overlay thereon. Any damagécaused to the layer ifyexposed to traffic or natural conditions resulting in damage to its surface should be made good to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Base courses shall not be rolled when the underlying material is soft or yielding or when the rolling causes a wave-like motion in this course. When the rolling develops irregularities, the irregular surface shall be loosened, then refilled with the same kind of material as used in constructing the course and again rolled according to specifications. Along places inaccessible to rollers, the base course material shall be tamped thoroughly with mechanical tampers. Work on the base course will not be permitted during rainy weather. Hauling equipment may be routed over completed portions of the base courses provided no damage results and provided that such equipment is routed over the full width of the course to avoid rutting or uneven compaction Engineer has the right to stop all hauling over completed or partially completed base courses when in his opinion such hauling is causing damage. g Acceptance of Aggregate Base Courses Prior to the application of any prime coat or any other paving course, the aggregate base course shall have been tested and accepted by the Engineer. The following shall be adhered to in accepting completed aggregate base courses: 4. Requirements for compaction: the degree of compaction testing values should have an average of 100% with no single value less than minimum value of 98%, Wherever the degree of compaction is found to be less than the 98% specified, the area of base course involved shall be satisfactorily corrected so that the minimum specified density is achieved. 2.
