MEMBINA JALAN DARI BEHOR MALI
KE KAMPUNG KEPALA SEPULOH, PERLIS

1.0 Background of Traffic Study

The Government of Malaysia is desirous to carry out the project Membina Jalan Dari
Behor Mali Ke Kampung Kepala Sepuloh, Perlis.

As such , a detailed Traffic Study has to be carried out to analyse the road and intersection

ER
Level of Service (LOS) , analyse and estimate future growth in traffic demand , and
propose optimum mitigation to cater for the future traffic demand. It also serves to
determine the capacity of traffic, analyse the existing and future road and intersections'

D
performance (whichever relevant), propose U-turn, suitable traffic IighUtraffic signal

N
( phasing and intersections' configuration for the intersections involved , if necessary.

TE
The exact locations of the proposed intersections are to be identified based on their
connections to the existing road network and at appropriate distances from each other.
The study also needs to identify possible alternative existing routes to disperse the current
traffic load and allow for a smoother flow of traffic within affected area.
A
EJ

2.0 Objective of Traffic Study


M

The Traffic Study shall be carried out with the following objectives;
EN

a) To analyse existing traffic condition on midblocks (including weaving sections, if


any) and all intersections involve in the study area, with particular reference to
the performance of the road network in the study area ;
M

( b) To forecast the potential future traffic demand resulting from the proposed project
and to assess its impacts on the road network;
KU

c) To analyse future traffic impacts upon project completion year and forecasting
years ;
O

d) To propose mitigation measures for all negative impacts on LOS, safety aspects
D

and others to curb possible future traffic-congestion in the transportation system


within the vicinity of the proposed project; and

e) To recommend the most economically feasible new alignment for the project.

3
3.0 Study Area

The area of study covers part of Federal Route (FT7) across Jalan Kampung
Mengkuang Layar to Jalan Kampung Surau (R159) and Jalan Jejawi - Tambun
Tulang (R175) and within its vicinity corridor. The proposed traffic study location is shown
in Figure 1. However, the Consultant shall ascertain for himself the extent of the study
area so that its coverage is sufficient for the Consultant to get required data for the proper
completion of the Study (to consult and obtain approval from JKR).

4.0 Scope of Works

ER
4.1 Traffic Studies

4.1.1 Road Network Analyses

D
N
( The Consultant shall assess the adequacy of the existing road network with
regard to the traffic capacity in the Study Area by conducting traffic surveys

TE
and making use of all available data.

4.1 .2 Traffic Surveys


A
Th e Consultant shall obtain and study all available traffic data and all
EJ

available public transport data for the Study Area and conduct appropriate
field surveys at selected locations to determine the traffic data and travel
M

characteristics in the Study Area. The traffic surveys , when carried out, shall
be consistent with the methodology that is currently being adopted in the
country.
EN

4.1.3 Traffic Projections


M

( The traffic projections shall cover future traffic demand upon project
completion , 10 and 20 years, starting from the completion year of the
KU

project. The latest version of Road Traffic Volume Malaysia (RTVM)


coordinated by Highway Planning Division , Ministry of Works shall be
O

utilised in order to obtain the traffic growth rate.


D

The Consultant shall assess the adequacy of the existing road network, in
terms of the road hierarchy and traffic capacity in the Study Area in catering
for the forecasted travel demand .

4
4.1.4 Analysis

Based on the roads and intersections analysis software such as SIDRA or


its equivalent, the Consultant shall develop, validate and calibrate existing
roads and intersections for the study.

Consultant shall carry out traffic modelling for the study area using
modelling software such as EMME, PTV Visum or its equivalent as
approved by JKR. Validation shall be undertaken to ensure that the traffic
model will reproduce the observed traffic demands in the existing road

ER
system in the study area. The time horizon for traffic projection traffic
projection shall cover 10 and 20 years from the projected completion year
of the project.

D
The cost of purchasing all software shall be borne by the Consultant. All

N
( databases and models developed and utilized in the Study shall be handed

TE
over to the Government at the end of the Study.

4.1.5 Findings
A
In consultation with the relevant government authorities and in accordance
EJ
with the latest Highway Capacity Manual Malaysia, Arahan Teknik (Jalan)
JKR and relevant international guidelines, the Consultant shall recommend
the number of lanes required , the layout of intersections, U-turns and the
M

time phasing for existing traffic light, or if necessary, propose new traffic
light and the optimum mitigation to cater for the future traffic demand where
EN

the exact locations of the proposed intersections are to be identified based


on their connections to the existing road network at appropriate distances
from each other, in accordance to the projected traffic, function and
M

hierarchy of the proposed roads and bridges.

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR BRIDGE ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE

3.0 Introduction

This bridge assessment procedure shall be adopted if the Need Statement requires
rehabilitation, upgrading works and replacement. It involves careful consideration for
the treatment of the existing stock of structures (bridges and culverts) to attain the
desired objectives of ensuring structural safety, quality, serviceability, durability and
economy.

3.1 Bridge Replacement Policy

The general policy is to save existing structures. The Contractor shall follow this Bridge
Assessment Procedure and prepare a report to cover the assessment of existing

ER
structures.

The objective of th is report is to access: .

D
(a ) The conditions of the existing bridge based on visual inspection ,
(b) The hydraulic capacity of an existing structure based on site investigation and

N
discharge capacity
( (c) The existing structures capacity based on theoretical calculation .

TE
If one or all the criteria given above are not satisfied, the existing structure will either
be replaced , upgraded or rehabilitated as deemed necessary.
A
3.2 Bridge Assessment Procedure
EJ
The Bridge Assessment Procedure is a nine (9) steps procedure as shown in Figure 1
The three types of assessment to be carried out are explained below:
M

(a) Visual Assessment

The conditio n of the existing structures to be inspected by checking defects of


EN

each structure through visual inspection, giving particular attention to primary


members such as longitudinal beams, cross heads and abutments. The
inspections condition existing structures can be referring JKR Annual Bridge
Inspection Manual as a guidance . The defects shall be divided to :
M

( (i) Material defects


KU

These includes spalling of concrete, corrosive of steel reinforcement and


abrasion of piers and abutments.

(ii) Structural Defects


O

Structural defects are caused by the inability of the structural member to


D

resist the load imposed on it and can be in the form of cracks, settlement or
deformation

(iii) Hydrological Defects

This includes silting and erosion due to fluctuation of water level and
inadequate discharge capacity of the existing section.

151 Page
(b) Hydrological Assessment

The aim of this assessment is to ensure that the existing structure provides
adequate opening for the designed flood frequency discharge. Also the
foundation structure is to be checked for scouring effects.

(c) Analytical Assessment

The loading shall be JKR Specification for Bridge Live Loads


(i) Long Term Axle Loads (LTAL) combined with KEL
(ii) Special Vehicle (SV20) loading

Method of analysis should ideally consider of all the significant aspects of


behaviour of a structure governing its response to loads and imposed

ER
deformations.

(d) Structu ral Member Resistance

D
(i) Evaluation Code shall follow :

N
( • BD 21 /01 : The Assessment of Highway Bridges And Structure,

TE
Department of Transport UK.
• BD 44/95 : The Assessment of Concrete Highway Bridges and
Structures, Department Of Transport UK.
A
(ii) Partial ILoad Factors
EJ

Dead Load 1,15


Superimposed Dead Load = 1,75
If premix was measured = 1.25
M

Live Load LTAL = 1.5


Live Load SV = 1.3
EN

(iii) For material Strength Without Drawings (Unknown)

fy = 230 N/mm2 = y ms 1.10


fyv = 230 N/mm2 = Y mv = 1.15
M

( feu = 20 N/mm2 = Y me = 1.20


KU

(iv) Calculation of Member Resistance by Statistical Method


O

This method shall be used to obtain percentage of steel for reinforced


concrete bridges without flexural reinforcement details. The use of
this method is restricted to :
D

1) Simply supported reinforced concrete bridges


2) Bridges in Peninsular Malaysia
3) Bridges constructed between 1950 and 1972
4) Bridges spanning between 6 -15 metres.

The Formula is:


% steel = 0.015 x Rcindex - 0.2
Rcindex = 100 x S.L 1.326V
W.D 2

161 Page
S = The girder spacing(mm);
L = Span length (mm);
W = The girder width (mm);
D = The effective depth (mm) - 0.9 of the total depth

(e) Rating System

The load carrying capacity of a bridge is assessed based on the ratio of the
available resistance of a member to the effective of live load

Rating = <t:>R-aD
aL

<t:>R = Factored resistance of a member

ER
aD = Effect of the factored dead load on a member
aL = Effect of the factored live load for LTAL

D
SV Rating = 20 . <t:>R-aD
aLsv

N
( where aLsv = effect of the factored SV20 loading on the member

hollows , highway boundaries, channels , lines of carriageway, footpaths , banks or rivers and

ER
streams , railway lines etc .

The general shape in plan of individual traffic islands sha ll be represented by separate 3D
strings with points at sharp changes of direction , levels being given for the adjacent carriageway

D
surface . Supplementary strings sufficient to indicate the approximate vertical profile of paved

N
islands shall be provided . These will also be required on grassed islands where there are
( insufficient contours (20 strings ) to describe their surface shape .

TE
If the highway is kerbed the edges of carriageway are to be defined immediately adjacent to
the kerb face except where the kerbs divide a difference in levels (eg. central medians ), the top
of the kerbs are to be outlined .
A
Where there are auxiliary traffic lanes , lay-bys , junctions or breaks in the central reservation
EJ

additiona l strings will be required along the edge of the carriageway which carries the through
traffic.
M

3D strings sha ll also be used to define the ground where 20 strings are inadequate . Closer
spaced points to define curved 3D strings are required unless special survey options in MOSS
to define curves are used .
EN

TWO (2) DIMENSIONAL STRINGS


M

<- These are con tour strings and sha ll be recorded as a series of two dimensional points (easting
and northing) together with the associated string level.
KU

In models conSisting of 20 and 3D strings the 20 strings shall be recorded throughout the area
of the model except in the fo llowing instances: -
O

a. Highways: Upon carriageway, the features are to be represen ted by 3D


D

strings only.

b. Flat Areas : In flat areas where the horizontal distance between contours
exceeds 40m, the contours shall be supplemented by a series of 3D strings so
tha t the distance between adjacent strings and also between adjacent points
on the strings shal l not exceed 20 m.

c. Steep Areas : Where steep slopes are encountered and it is not practical on
the plan to represent each contour fully throughout its length , the LLS may with
the Government's approva l adopt a 3D string representa tion. In such instances

49
TOR TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY WORKS

the slope sha ll be bounded by a 3D string and any changes of slope or berms
within this area shall also be depicted by 3D strings.

d. Densely vegetated areas or rock outcrop areas : Where vegetation is


so dense that the ground is completely obscured , contour strings may be
repla ced by 3D point strings the spaci ng of which shall be agreed with the
Government.

e. Temporary feature s : Where features appear to be temporary such as


stockpiles and spoil heaps , they should be represented by contour stri ngs as
if permanent unless directed otherwise by the Government.

GENERAL STRING DETAILS

A string may start or finish at any point providing it is not more than 10m outside the boundary
A
of the block for which the data is being recorded .
EJ

Continuity between blocks shall be provided either by mathematically precise matching at break
boundaries or in the form of a short overlap between the end of one string (e.g. in Block 1) and
the start of another string (e .g. in Block 2) . Where a string stops at another string boundary
M

there must not be any gap between the two strings .


EN

If a string passes outside a block by more than 10m then loops back into the block , another
string must be started prior to re-entry into the block, and the loop section recorded with the
data for the adjoining block. Short overlaps shall be provided to maintain continuity.
M

( If a string is a closed loop within the block, or within 10m of the block boundary , then it shall be
closed with mathematical precision or by means of a short overlap at the start .
KU

Survey Station Strings

These (40) strings consist of points with Easting , Northing, Levels and the four
O

character station number or name. MOSS default string labeling to store all main stations is
PSSA.
D

Null Level Strings

These strings consist of points with Easting and Northing coordinates and assigned
levels of -999 .0. They are generally additional information so as to complete the
definition of the ground model. MOSS program does not include them when performing
the analysis functions (e.g. SECTION).

These null level stri ngs may include the following : -

51
TOR TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY WORKS

a. Cartographic features such as tadpole symbol for slopes, vegetation symbols,


etc.
b. Land lot strings in the Property Model.
c. Additional stru ctures or buildings (with prior approval from the Government).

Text Strings

These strings form a group of information data (usua lly digitized or interactive ly added)
in the Ground Model that may include the following :-

a. Cartographic information such as vegetation type , land use , lot numbers, etc.

ER
b. Names and/or usage of prominent buildings and structures .
c. Destination of road leading to and fro the existing main road and where there
are discontinuities of the road within the Mapping Area .

D
Unless otherwise stated all text shall be in ENGLISH and the following text shall the

N
precise real world bearing :-
(

TE
1. Road destination / type
2. River name / type

All other text may optionally have zero bearing .


A
Point Strings
EJ

These strings (with suffix 'P' for the labeling) could be either with or without levels and
may include the following :-
M

a. Spot level strings


b. Utilities such as telecom or electrical poles
EN

c. Survey Station Strings (MOSS default label PSSA)


MOSS program does not include these strings when doing the analysis SECTION but
include them when doing the CONTOUR and TRIANGLE except those with null levels

4. ATTRIBUTES

4.1 Quality Level Attributes

4.1.1 General
The quality level attribute of an underground utility feature is the most
important information aside from its alignment or presence in a utility
map. As such due care should be given to precisely indicate the quality
level of an underground feature especially in hardcopy maps given the
fact that in any congested corridor, the horizontal and vertical separation

ER
between utility features could be reduced to several decimeters, and at
plotting scale such separation may be difficult to discern. Careful usage
of the following cartographic elements can help in ensuring a reliable

D
indication of the quality level of underground features.

N
(

TE
4.1.2 Labelling
This is also one of the methods of differentiating between the quality
levels, utility type, ownership, date of depiction, accuracy of surveyed
A
appurtenances, end pOints of any utility data, active, abandoned, or out-
EJ
of-service status, size, condition, number of jointly buried cables and
encasement.
M

4.1.3 Symbol Embedding


EN

Symbol embedding can also be used to indicate the different quality levels
of underground utility data.
M

4.1.4 Colour
<-
KU

Colour is frequently used to indicate type which can be used in


conjunction with other methods.
O

4.1.5 Line Weight


D

Line weight can be used at actual scale to depict the size of the utility.
However, it has the effect of obscuring other data if the line size is large.

(7)
4.1.6 Layer
Occasionally layers are used to portray various attributes. For example,
quality level 'N data could be on one layer, quality level 'B' data on
another, and etc. All layers must be turned be on to present the complete
utility information particularly in a geographic information system.

4.1.7 Annotation
Annotation should be used with care as to ensure that it does not obscure
other util ity data.

ER
4.2 Utility Depiction Legend
In most cases, an underground utility map should be provided with a separate

D
utility legend to clearly indicate the methods of quality level differentiation and

N
( other utility attributes.

TE
4.3 Parcel Boundaries
Parcel boundaries shown shall be derived from the National Digital Cadastral
A
Database (NDCDB) currently maintained by JUPEM.
EJ

4.4 Lot Numbers


M

Lot numbers of all parcels as depicted in the NDCDB shall be shown whenever
possible.
EN

4.S Names of Building, Street, Road and River


Official names of buildings as well as names of streets, roads and rivers shall be
M

( shown.
KU

4.6 North Arrow


An arrow-like symbol indicating the direction of the grid north and the true north
O

shall be shown.
D

(8)
4.7 Scale Representation
Since maps must necessarily be smaller than the areas mapped, their use requires
that the ratio or proportion between comparable measurements be expressed on
the map. This is called map scale and should be the first thing which the map user
becomes aware. Scale should be expressed as a statement of map distance in
relation to earth distance or a graphic (or bar) scale or both.

4.8 Plan Date


The date of the plan should be prominently displayed.

ER
4.9 Marginal Information

D
Marginal information may include such items as section, town, city and state
names, scale, north arrow, legend and disclaimer, among others .

N
(

TE
4.10 Disclaimer
Disclaimers are used to limit and define the map author's responsibility for the
content, accuracy and currency of the map. Although some maps may require
A
specialized disclaimers, the following disclaimer represents one suggestion:
EJ

''Not to be treated as a map depicting property boundaries"


M

5. METADATA
EN

Metadata are commonly defined as the data about data or the data about the processes
performed on the data. The major uses of the metadata are:
M

i. To maintain an organization's internal investment in geospatial data;


ii. To provide information about an organization's data holdings to data
KU

catalogues, clearing houses and brokerages; and


iii. To provide information needed to process and interpret data to be received
through a transfer from an external source.
O
D

Thus, in order to facilitate their use, underground utility maps produced shall be
accompanied with appropriate metadata which complies with Malaysian Standard for
Geographic Information - Metadata.

(9)
6. COLOUR CODE
The color code and utilities marking procedure shall follow "PEKELILING KETUA
PENGARAH UKUR DAN PEMETAAN BILANGAN 1 TAHUN 2016" for "GARIS PANDUAN
KOD WARNA DAN PENANDAAN BAGI PEMETAAN UTILm BAWAH TANAH" and
"PEKELILING KETUA PENGARAH UKUR DAN PEMETAAN BILANGAN 2 TAHUN 2016" for
"GARIS PANDUAN PENERIMAAN DATA DIGITAL DAN PELAN UTILm DARI JURUUKUR
TANAH BERTAULIAH (JTB) OLEH JABATAN UKUR DAN PEMETAAN MALAYSIA (JUPEM)"
see attached. The utility code according to MS1759: 2015 is automatically amended by

ER
following JUPEM utility code circular. The LLS shall follow general colour code according
to MS1759: 2015. Refer figure below.

4.0 METHODOLOGY
O

4.1 Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD)


D

• A Dynatest FWD machine or approved equivalent should be used for the measurement of
the deflections.
• The FWD machine shall be calibrated according to manufacturer's specification.

2/6
• FWD measurements shall be taken at every 100m intervals according to the number given
in Bill of Quantities and/or Drawings
• Readings from at least 7 geophones including the one located at the centre of the loading
plate shall be recorded.
• The distance of the geophones from the loading plate should be: Omm, 300mm, 600mm,
750nun, 1050mm, 1350mm and 1650mm.
• Three (3) load pulses (drops) of the FWD load shall be applied at each position. Data from
all 3 drops should be recorded and reported in the same file.

ER
• The load level used for the FWD drops shall be 50kN, which corresponds to a load pressure
of approximately 700kPa.

D
• Pavement temperatures shall be taken at the location of the test at every 30mins.

N
( • Analysis and reporting shall include the following:

TE
o Layer Moduli derived from the third (3rd) drop
o Tables and summary of the FWD analysis
• The Contractor shall be responsible for arranging necessary traffic control in order to
A
ensure the safety of the road users and FWD Operator.
EJ

4.2 Visual Condition Survey (YCS)


M

• A visual condition survey ofthe bituminous pavements shall be carried out. The areas with
different types of surface distress shall be identified and recorded following the procedures
EN

given in the JKR Guide, A Guide to the Visual Assessment of Flexible Pavement SUlfilce
Conditions (JKR 20709-2060-92).
M

• The results shall be presented in a tabular form of 100m block intervals for each lane.
KU

• The defects shall be characterized in terms of type, severity and intensity.

4.3 Coring and Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)


O

• Coring shall be performed in the left wheel path of each lane at selected locations.
D

• 100mm diameter core samples of bituminous pavements shall be taken.


• DCP test will be carried out through the coring locations and up to a depth of 1.2m from
the pavement surface with minimum 6 Nos. per direction.
• Where possible, core samples shall be take where the surface is visibly cracked.
3/6
• Each core shall be described to identify the bituminous layer thickness, crack depth and
crack propagation (if any).
• DCP Analysis and reporting shall include the following:
o Graphical results of the DCP analysis
o Layer thicknesses of all layers at each location

4.4 Material Testing

• Aggregate Gradation

ER
Gradation test are used by aggregate producers for quality control purposes and by users
for checking compliance with specification. In the case of course (retained on a 3.35 mm

D
sieve) and fine (passing 3.35 and retained on the 75 micron sieves) particles, these
quantities are determined by sieve analysis, i.e. by allowing the aggregate sample to fall

N
(
through a stack of standard sieves of diminishing mesh size that separate the particles into

TE
p0l1ions retained on each sieve. The percent passing of the aggregate through the selected
sieves is determined by taking weights retained on individual sieves. The percent passing
A
is then plotted on a 0.45 power gradation chart.
EJ

• Binder Content Test (ASTM 02172)


The test is carried out for quantitative determination of bitumen in hot-mixed mixtures for
M

specification acceptance, service evaluation, control and research.


The sample with determined moisture content is place in the bowl. The sample is covered
EN

with methylene chloride and allows sufficient time for the solvent to disintegrate. The
centrifuge start to resolve the speed to a maximum 3600 r/min until the solvent ceases to
M

flow. The content from the bowl is removed and dry in an oven with constant temperature
KU

110 ± 5°C. The mass of extracted aggregate is determined.

• Penetration Test (ASTM OS)


O

The penetration test measures the depth which a standard needle will penetrate a bitumen
D

under standard conditions of temperature (25°C), load (lOOg) and time (5s). The result
obtained is expressed in penetration units, where one unit equals Idmm (O.lmm).

4/6
The penetration test on its own simply a classification test, and is not directly related to
binder quality. Nonetheless, the penetration grade of bitumen is inextricably linked to the
composition and use of a bituminous material. For example, higher penetration bitumen is
preferred for use in pavements in cooler climates (to reduce cracking problems) whilst
lower penetration ones have preference in hot climates.

• Softening Point Test ( ASTM D36)


The softening point test determines the temperatures at which bitumen changes from semi-

solid to fluid. There is a rule-of-thumb to the effect that the mixing temperature of
penetration-grade bitumen is 110 °C above its softening point, thus, for example nominal
50 pen and 100 pen bitumen are often mixed at about 162 °C and 156 °C respectively.

D
N
( The test involves placing a 3.5g steel ball on a disc of bitumen that is supported by a brass

TE
ring, and immersing it in water. The water is heated uniformly at the rate of 50 C/min until
the di sc is sufficiently soft for the ball, enveloped in bitumen, to fall 25mm through the
ring onto the base plate. The water temperature at which the binder touches the base plate
A
is recorded as the softening point of the bitumen.

• Determination of Indirect Tensile Strength Test (ITS)


M

The standard ITS test is used to test the briquettes under both dry and soaked conditions.
The ITS is determined by measuring the ultimate load to failure of a specimen which is
EN

subjected to a constant deformation rate 50.8 mrnIminutes on its diametrical axi s. Check
the density for all the samples using standard ASTM D 2724. In order to determine the ITS
M

soaked samples, place the cured specimen in a vacuum desiccators and cover with water at
25 °C ± I 0c. Apply a vacuum of mercury for 60 ± 1 minutes, and if no vacuum desiccator
KU

is available, soak for 24 hours at 25 °C ± 1 °C. Remove the specimen, surface dry and test
for the ultimate tensile load. Calculate the ITS for each specimen to the nearest 1 kPa using
O

the following formula:


D

ITS = 2xP
1t x LxD
Where: ITS = indirect tensile strength in kPa
P = maximum applied load in kN
5/6
L = average height of the specimen in m
D = diameter of the specimen in m.

KETUA PENGARAH KERJA RAYA


JABATAN KERJA RAY A MALAYSIA
JALAN SULTAN SALAHUDDIN,
50582 KUALA LUMPUR.
FOREWORD

As practices in road construction change over time, it is imperative for Jabatan Kerja
Raya (JKR) to continuously update and improve their standard specifications. These
new specifications are not only aimed at keeping abreast with current technologies but
also to help improve the quality of construction works and its final product.
Consequently, these new specifications will ultimately have a significant positive impact
on the construction industry especially with the incorporation of new products and

ER
technologies .

The JKR Standard Specification for Road Works is an essential component in the road
infrastructure construction industry. This Specification provides an improved guidance in

D
the material selection and quality control of workmanship and products, based on
current best practices. The purpose of the JKR Standard Specification is to establish

N
uniformity in road construction to be used by road designers, road authorities, 0
manufacturers and suppliers of road related products.

TE
This particular document, the "Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 1:
General", is a part of a series of improved specifications in the JKR Standard
Specification for Road Works. The compilation of this document was carried out through
A
many discussions that had been held by the technical committee. The draft had also
EJ
been presented and discussed at length in a specially held workshop to get feedback
and comments from relevant parties involved, which were then carefully considered and
incorporated into the Specification wherever appropriate or necessary.
M

The Specification has also gone through the different phases of vetting and approval
before the production of its final draft and printed copy. It will be reviewed and updated
EN

from time to time to cater for any changes in policies and the inclusion of current
requirements, if necessary. Any feedback or improvement to be considered for future
revisions should be forwarded to Sahagian Pembangunan Inovasi & Standard,

(JKRlSPJ/2020-52)

FOREWORD
As practices in road construction change over time, it is imperative for Jabatan Ke~a Raya
(JKR) to continuously update and improve their standard specifications. These new
specifications not only aimed at keeping abreast with current technologies but also helping in
improving the quality of constructed product. In unison, these new specifications have
significant positive impact on the construction industry especially with the incorporation of
new products and technologies.

Standard Specification for Road Works is an essential component in the road infrastructure
construction industry. This specification provides an improved guidance in the material

ER
selection and the production of good quality workmanship and products based on current
best practices. The purpose of this standard specification is to establish uniformity in road
works to be used by road designers, road authorities, manufacturers and suppliers of road
related products.

D
N
This document "Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 2: Earthworks
(JKRlSPJ/2020-S2)" is a part of series of improved specifications in the Standard

TE
Specification for Road Works. The compilation of this document was carried out through
many discussions by the technical committee members. Additionally, it has been presented
at a technical workshop held on February 2019. Feedbacks and comments received had
been carefully considered and incorporated in the Specification where appropriate as well as
considering the ambiguities and difficulties that arise in the previous version .
A
EJ
In the new version of this Specification, it has also considered the use of two newly
introduced Specifications, namely "Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 18: Soil
Stabilisation (JKRlSPJ/2018-S18)" and "Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 20:
M

Ground Improvement (JKRlSPJ/2020-S20)", where both should be read together with this
Specification where applicable.
EN

This Specification also had been presented in the Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Spesifikasi

For each type of mix required in the Works, the Contractor shall propose a laboratory
M

design mix. gradation which shall consist of a single definite percentage passing for
each sieve size in the above Table and shall produce a smooth curve within the
appropriate gradation envelope. This job laboratory design mix gradation, with the
KU

allowable tolerances for a single test as specified in Sub-Section 4.3.3.3 (c), shall
then become the job standard mix or job mix fonnula.

(b) Mineral Filler


O

Mineral fIller shall be incorporated as part of the combined aggregate gradation. It


shall be of fmely divided mineral matter of hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide). At the
D

time of mixing with bitumen, the hydrated lime shall be sufficiently dry to flow
freely and shall be essentially free from agglomerations. Not less than 70% by weight
shall pass the BS 75 urn sieve. The total amount of hydrated lime as mineral filler
shall be limited such that the ratio of the combined coarse aggregate, fine aggregate
and mineral filler of the final gradation passing 75 um sieve to bitumen, by weight,
shall be in the range of 0.6 to 1.2. As a guide, the total amount of hydrated lime shall
be approximately 2% by weight of the combined aggregates. The hydrated lime shall

4.3.3.3 Mix Design

ER
(aJ Job Mix Formulae

The Contractor shall propose a job mix formula for each type of mix required in the
Works. In order to obtain optimum quality of the mixes, the job mix formula for each

D
type of mix shall be prepared on the basis of testing several laboratory design mix
aggregate gradations within the limits set in Table 4.3.3 at an appropriate range of
bitumen content. As a guide to the testing range of bitumen content, the design

N
bitumen content will usually be in the range given in Table 4.3.4.

TE
Each combination of laboratory design mix aggregate gradation and bitumen content
shall be subject to the Marshall test procedure and volumetric analysis as follows;

i. Preparation of laboratory specimens for the standard stability and flow test
in accordance with ASTM 0 1559 using 75-blow/face compaction standard,
A
ii. Determination of the bulk specific gravity of the specimens in accordance
with ASTM D 2726,
EJ

iii. Determination of the stability and flow values in accordance with ASTM D
1559,
M

iv. Analysis of the specific gravity and air voids parameters to determine the
percentage air voids in the compacted. aggregate, the percentage air voids in
the compacted aggregate fined with bitumen and the percentage air voids in
EN

the compacted mix.

For each laboratory design mix gradation, four specimens shall be prepared for each
bitumen content within the range given in Table 4.3.4 (see Note 1) at increments of
0.5 percent, in accordance with ASTM D 1559 using 75 blows/face compaction
M

standard All bitumen contents shall be in percentage by weight of the total mix.
C) As soon as the freshly compacted specimens have cooled to room temperature, the
KU

bulk specific gravity of each test specimen shall be determined in accordance with
ASTM D 2726.

The stability and flow value of each test specimen shall then be determined in
O

accordance with ASTM D 1559.

After the completion of the stability and flow test, specific gravity and voids analysis
D

shall be carried out for each test specimen to determine the percentage air voids in
the compacted aggregate filled with bitumen (VFB) and the percentage air voids in
the compacted mix (VIM).

Values which are obviously erratic shall be discarded before averaging. Where two
or more specimens in any group of four are so rejected, four more specimens shan be
prepared and tested.

S4-26
JKRlSPJ/2008-S4

The average values of bulk specific gravity, stability, flow, VFB and VIM obtained
above shall be plotted separately against the bitumen content and a smooth curve
drawn through the plotted values.

The mean optimum bitumen content shall be determined by averaging five optimum
bitumen contents so determined as follows;

i. Peak of curve taken from the stability graph (see Note 2),

ii. Flow equals to 3 nun from the flow graph,

ER
iii. Peak: of curve taken from the bulk specific gravity graph (see Notc 3),

iv. VFB equals to 75% for wearing course and 70% for binder course from the
VFB grapb,

D
v. VIM equals to 4.0% for wearing course and 5.0% for binder course from the
VIM graph.

N
The individual test values at the mean optimum bitumen content shall then be read

TE
from the plotted smooth curves and shall comply with the design parameters given in
Table 4.3.5

If all the values comply with Table 43.5, the mixture with the mean optimum
bitumen content shall be used in plant trials.
A
If any of the values does not comply with Table 4.3.5, the mix design procedure shall
be repeated using different laboratory design mix aggregate gradation until all the
EJ

design parameters are satisfied.

Now·
t. The range of bitumen content shall be atendcd if necessary to ensure that the curves of
M

stability and bulk: specific gravity have their peak: within the range selected.

2. Where the stability curve exhibits more than one peak, the bitumen content chosen for the
determination of the mean optimum bitumen content shall be the one which satisfies the voids
EN

requirements better. It is sometimes necessary where no peak stability is obtained, to prepare


and test supplementary specimens at intervals of 0.25% bitumen contetlt on either side of the
expected optimum.

3. With highly absorptive aggregate, some difficulty in determining peak bulk specifie gravity
may occur. In such eases, the bitumen content at which the increase in bulk specifie gravity
M

shows a marked falling off shall be adopted.

4.5.3 Surface Regularity

4.5.3.1 Description
O

Riding quality on a road surface is positively correlated with roughness of the


surface. Low roughness corresponds to good riding quality and vice versa.
D

Roughness of a pavement surface is brought about by uneven settlement, short and


long wave undulations, rutting, wide cracking and other surface defects such as
potholes, delamination etc ..

The International Roughness Index (IRI) is used internationally to measure the


degree of roughness of a pavement surface. It is representative of the vertical motions
induced in moving vehicles for the freq uency bandwidth which affects both the
response of the vehicle and the comfort perceived by the occupants

The IRI describes a scale of roughness which is zero for a true planar surface,
increasing to about 6 mIkm for moderately rough paved roads, 12 mIkm for

S4-43
JKRlSPJ/200B·S4

extremely rough paved roads with potholes and patches, and up to about 20 mIkm for
extremely rough unpaved roads.

4.5.3.2 Measurement ofiRI

The regularity of the completed pavement surface shall be measured before traffic is
allowed on it and is measured in terms of its lane IRI. Lane IRI shall be measured
using the ARRB Walking Profiler (WP) following the procedures as outlined in
AUSTROADS PAT 01 :2001 (Appendix 1)

Other types of equipment may be used to measure lane IRI provided that the output

ER
from the equipment correlate strongly with the output from WP (R2 > 0.95).

4.6.6.1 Pavement Preparation

N
n Porous ·asphalt sh.all be laid only on structurally sound pavement with minimal
cracks, ruts and depressions.

TE
A strong, durable bond of porous asphalt to the underlying pavement surface is
essential.

A thick tack coat is essential to ensure;


A
i. A good bonding of the relatively small surface area of contact of the open-
EJ

graded porous asphalt to the underlying pavement surface.

ii. A good resistance to damage induced by residual moisture which may be


M

trapped at the bottom of the porous asphalt layer.

iii. Effective sealing of cracks and other surface deficiencies which may be
present in the existing pavement surface, thus providing an impervious
EN

underlying surface.

Porous asphalt shall not be used to restore poor road profile.


M

Existing pavement surface shall be regnlated with dense continuously graded asphalt
( ) to remove depression which may trap and hold water under porous asphalt layer.
KU

4.6.6.2 Laying

Porous asphalt shall be laid only on impermeable and plane pavement surface with
adequate cross fall. A minimum cross fall of 2.5 percent is recommended.
O

Porous asphalt shall be laid by machine aod compacted within three hours of mixing.
D

Laying shall commence on the low side of the carriageway.

A minimum thickness of 50 mm is essential to provide adequate drainage within the


porous asphalt layer.

Haod casting shall be kept to minimum.


Porous asphalt shall not be laid directly over an existing concrete pavement because
the difficulty in establishing ao adequate bond. However, it shall be preceded with a
layer of dense bituminous mix on the existing concrete pavement to assist bonding.

S4-54
JKRlSPJ/2008-S4

When the rehabilitation of a deteriorated concrete pavement includes bituminous


mixes overlay. porous asphalt shall be used as the final wearing course.

Porous asphalt shall not be laid in areas where;

I. The pavement structural strength is sub-standard.

ii. There is considerable traction due to sudden acceleration, braking and


turning like at major junctions.

ER
iii. There are tight radius curves, loops of radii less than 75 meters.

iv. The gradient exceeds 10 percent.

D
v. Excessive deposits of debris, oil and fuel may be experienced.

N
vi. Free drainage cannot be accommodated along the road shoulders.

TE
vii. Length of roads less than 100 meters because of spray carry-over from
adjacent surfacing.

viii. There is high Oexibility like on bridges.


A
lX. Frequent excavations by statutory undertakers may occur.
EJ

x. Traffic levels exceed 4000 commercial vehicles per lane per day at opening.

xi. There is a 40 kmIh speed limit because there is no beneficial reduction in


M

spray or noise levels achieved at low speeds.

4.6.6.3 Compaction
EN

Porous asphalt shall be compacted using static steel wheel tandem rollers only.

Vibratory rollers are not permitted because they lead to excessive compaction and
the possibility of aggregate crushing.
M

Pneumatic tyre rollers are not permitted because they knead and close the surface,
affecting the drainability of porous asphalt. They also cause stripping of aggregates u
KU

that stick to their tyres.

Three wheel rollers are also not permitted because they leave roller marks that can be
difficult to remove.
O

Compaction by rolling shall commence as soon after laying as the material will
support the rollers without undue displacement; nevertheless the temperature of the
D

porous asphalt at the commencement of rolling shall be not less than 110°C.

In any areas inaccessible to the rollers, proper compaction shall be carried out using
vibrating plate compactors, hand tampers or other suitable means, all to the
satisfaction of the S.O.

The steel wheel tandem rollers shall operate in a longitudinal direction along the
carriageway with their driven wheels towards the paver. Rolling shall generally
commence at the lower edge of the paved width and progress uniformly to the higher

S4-55
JKRlSPJ/2008-S4

edge, except that where there is a longitudinal construction joint at the higher edge,
this shall be rolled first ahead of the nonnal pattern of rolling. Generally, successive
roller passes shall overlap by half the width of the roller, and the points at which the
roller is reversed shall be staggered. However, when operating on gradients in excess
of 4%, the breakdown roller shall not pass over any previously unrolled mix when
operating in the downhill direction.

In all cases, compaction shall be carried out in such a manner that each section
receives equal compactive effort, all to the satisfaction of the S.O.

ER
The rollers shall operate at speeds of not more than 5 kmIh. No roller or heavy
vehicle shall be allowed to stand on newly laid bituminous mix before compaction
has been completed and the material has thoroughly cooled and set. Rolling pattern
shall be in accordance with trial lay carried out earlier and shall give field density not

D
less than 97% of the laboratory mix design density.

N
n The porous asphalt layer shall be finished in a neat and workmanlike manner; their
widths shall be everywhere at least those specified or shown on the Drawings on

TE
both sides of the centre-line; the average thickness over any IOO-metre length shall
be not less than the required thickness, and the minimum thickness at any point shall
be not less than the required thickness minus 5 rom.

Care shall be taken to prevent over-compaction of porous asphalt.


A
Within 24 hours of laying and compacting the bituminous mix, the Contractor shall
cut core samples of not less than 100 mm nominal diameter at locations selected by
EJ

the S.D. The rate of sampling shall be one sample per 500 m' of mix laid, but not
less than two samples for the work completed in each paving session. These core
samples shall be used by the S.D. to determine the thickness of the compacted layer
M

of mix and the compacted density of the material in accordance with either ASTM
Test Method D 1188 or ASTM Test Method D 2726, whichever is applicable.

4.6.6.4 Joint Construction


EN

The fonnation of all joints shall be made in such a manner as to ensure a continuous
bond between old and new sections of the course. All joints shall present the same
texture, density, and smoothness as other sections of the course
M

( ) Cold longitudinal joints shall not be cut as the inherent rough texture of the mixture
will readily provide good bonding along the joints. Cutting the joints may incur
KU

damages to the mixture along the joints as the aggregate gradation of mixture is of
open-graded nature. Application of tack coat along the joints is deemed unnecessary
as it may clog the voids along the joints and impede the flow of water across the
joints.
O

4.6.6.5 Shaping Edges


D

While the surface is being compacted and finished, the Contractor shall carefully
trim the outside edges of the pavement to the proper alignment.

Edges so formed shall be beveled while still hot and compacted.

JKRlSPJI2008-S4

Each combination of laboratory design mix aggregate gradation and bitumen content
shall be subject to the Marshall test procedure and volumetric analysis as follows;

i. Preparation of laboratory specimens for the standard stability and flow test in
accordance with ASTM D 1559 using 50 blowslface compaction standard,

shall be carried out for each test specimen to determine the percentage air voids in
mineral aggregate (VMA) and the percentage air voids in the compacted mix (VIM).
EN

Values which are obviously erratic shall be discarded before averaging. Where two or
more specimens in any group of four are so rejected, four more specimens shall be
prepared and tested.
M

The average values of bulk specific gravity, stability, flow, VFB and VMA obtained
above shall be plotted separately against the bitumen content and a smooth curve drawn
KU

thmugh the plotted values.

The mean optimum bitumen content shall be determined by averaging four optimum
bitumen contents so detennined as follows;

i. Peak of curve taken from the stability graph (see Note 2),
D

ii. Flow equals to 3 mm from the flow graph,

iii. Peak of curve taken from the bulk specific gravity graph (see Note 3),

iv. VIM equals to 3.5% from the VIM graph.

The individual test values (Stability, Flow, VMA and VIM) at the mean optimum
bitumen content shall then be read from the plotted smooth curves and shall comply with
the design parameters given in Table 4.7.5

S4-64
JKRl5PJ/200B-54

If all the values comply with Table 4.7.5, the mixture with the mean optimum bitumen
content shall be used in plant trials.

If any ofthe values does not comply with Table 4.7.5 the mix design procedure shall be
repeated using a different laboratory design mix aggregate gradation until all design
parameters are satisfied.

Note:
1. The range of bitumen content shall be elttended if necessary to ensure that the curves of stability and
bulk specific gravity have their peak within the range selected.

ER
2. Where the stability curve exhibits more than one peak. the bitumen content chosen for the
detennination of the mean optimum bitumen content shall be the one which satisfies the voids
requirements better. It is sometimes necessary, where no peak stability is obtained, to prepare and
test supplementary specimens at of 0.25% bitumen content on either side of the expected optimum.

4.9.9.1 Regularity of Completed Pavement Surface

(aJ Description

Riding quality on a road surface is positively correlated with roughness of the


surface. Low roughness corresponds to good riding quality and vice versa.
Roughness of a pavement surface is brought about by uneven settlement, short and

S4-87
JKRlSPJ/2008-S4

long wave undulations, rutting, wide cracking and other surface defects such as
potholes, delamination etc..

The International Roughness Index (00) is used internationally to measure the


degree of roughness of a pavement surface. It is representative of the vertical motions
induced in moving vehicles for the frequency bandwidth which affects both the
response of the vehicle and the comfort perceived by the occupants

The IRI describes a scale of roughness which is zero for a true planar surface,
increasing to about 6 mIkm for moderately rough paved roads, 12 mIkm for
extremely rough paved roads with potholes and patches, and up to about 20 mIk:m for

ER
extremely rough unpaved roads.

(b) Measurement ofIRl

D
The regularity of the completed pavement surface is measured in terms of its lane
!RI. Lane IRI shall be measured using the ARRB Walking Profiler (WP) following
the procedures as outlined in Appendix 1.

N
n Other types of equipment such as high speed profiler may be used to measure lane

TE
IRI provided that the output from the equipment correlate strongly with the output
from WP (R'>O.95).

(c) Acceptance Criteria


A
The Contractor shall make available lane IRI values for the whole road length as well
as for each 100m length of the completed pavement sW'face.
EJ

The lane IRI measured for the whole road length and each 100 meter section for
IDPR treatment involving remixing with additional thickness and remixing and new
overlay shall be less than 2.0mIkm.
M

The lane IRI measured for the whole road length and each 100 meter section for
IDPR treatment involving only remixing process shall be less than 2.SmIkm.
EN

(d) Rectification Work/or Non-Compliance

In case of non-compiiance. the contractor shall carry out rectification works on any
part of the completed pavement surface so that the lane IRI values for the whole road
length and for each 100 meter section are less than 2.0mlkm.

blending conventional bitumen, which shaU confono to MS 124, with an appropriate
A
quaotity of synthetic polymer.
EJ
A polymer is a large molecule that is made up of many small molecules or monomers.
There are naturally occurring polymer aod synthetic polymer.

Naturally occurring polymer can be organic or mineral substances such as hair, rubber,
M

diamond aod sulphur. Even bitumen cao be regarded as a polymer because of the long-
chain nature of some of the organic molecules that are the constituent parts of bitumen.

Synthetic polymer shall be mannfactured in a chemical process to combine particular


EN

molecules in a way that would not occur naturally and shall be non-carcinogenic. There
are two types of polymer which are described as follows;

i) Plastomer, or Polyolefm.
M

A plastomer will generally stiffen the binder to increase its high temperature
performance. For bituminous mixture used as surfacing course, this results in
KU

greater resistance to rutting and deformation. For intennediate and base courses,
this results in an increased strength of the pavement structures.

Some examples of plastomer are low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and ethylene


O

vinyl acetate (EVA).

ii) Elastomer, or Block Copolymer.


D

An elastomer will generally both stiffen and increase the flexibility or


slretchiness of the binder, improving both high aod low temperature
performance. An elastomeric binder will rebound after being stretched, thus the
bituminous mixture is able to recover from the stresses that occur under heavy
loadings.

Some examples of elastomer are styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) and styrene
butadiene rubber (SBR).

S4-109
JKRl8PJ/2008-S4

Either type of the polymer or a combination of both types of polymer shall be used in the
production of the polymer modified binder. However, other types of polymer shall also
be used provided that the properties of the resulted binder and mix are complied.

When added to bitumen, the polymer does not chemically combine or change the
chemical nature of the bitumen but it dissolves into certain component fractions of the
bitumen, spreading out its long chain polymer molecules to create an inter-connecting
matrix of the polymer throughout the bitumen. It is this matrix of the long chain polymer
molecules that modifies the physical properties of the bitumen.

from an approved source. In either case, the Contractor shall provide a binder storage
tank. equipped with a suitable mechanical agitator close to the asphalt mixing plant.
This tank shall also include distribution and circulation pipes that are properly
insulated or heated. Continuous agitation of the binder during prolonged storage is
essential to prevent separation. A suitable orifice shall be provided at a convenient point
in the storage tank system for taking samples. Samples shalI be taken after prolonged
storage or at any other circumstances deemed necessary by the S.O. and tested for the

D
Stage 1

The Contractor shaU propose a job mix formula for each type of mix required in the

N
Works. In order to obtain optimum quality of the mixtures, the job mix fannula for each
type of mix shall be prepared on the basis of testing several laboratory design mix

TE
gradations within the limits set in Table 4.11.1 at an appropriate range of polymer
modified binder content. As a gnide to the testing range of the binder content, the design
binder content will usually be in the range given in Table 4.11.3.

Each combination of laboratory design mix aggregate gradation and binder content shall
A
be subject to the Marshall test procedure and volumetric analysis as follows;
EJ
I. Preparation of laboratory specimens for the standard stability and flow test in
accordance with ASTM D 1559 using 75-blowslface compaction standard at
compaction temperature as determined from the above viscosity-temperature
relationship,
M

ii. Detennination of the bulk specific gravity of the specimens in accordance with
ASTMD2726,
EN

iii. Determination of the stability and flow values in accordance with ASTM D
1559,
M

iv. Analysis of the specific gravity and air voids parameters to determine the
percentage air voids in the compacted aggregate, the percentage air voids in the
compacted aggregate filled with the binder and the percentage air voids in the
KU

compacted mix.

For each laboratory design mix gradation, four specimens shall be prepared for each
binder content within the range given in Table 4.11.3 (see Note I) at increments of 0.5
O

percent, in accordance with ASTM D 1559 using 75 blowslface compaction standard. All
binder content shall be in percentage by weight of the total mix.
D

As soon as the freshly compacted specimens have cooled to room temperature, the bulk
specific gravity of each test specimen shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D
2726.

The stability and flow value of each test specimen shall then be determined in accordance
with ASTM D 1559.

After the completion of the stability and flow test, specific gravity and voids analysis
shall be carried out for each test specimen to determine the percentage air voids in the

54-111
JKRlSPJI200B-S4

compacted aggregate filled with binder (VFB) and the percentage air voids in the
compacted mix (VIM).

Values which are obviously erratic shall he discarded before averaging. Where two or
more specimens in any group of four are so rejected, four more specimens shall be
prepared and tested.

The mean values of bulk specific gravity, stability, flow, VFB and VIM obtained above
shall be plotted separately against the binder content and a smooth curve drawo through

ER
the plotted values.

The mean optimum binder content shall be detennined by averaging five optimum binder
contents so determined as follows;

D
i. Peak of curve taken from the stability graph (see Note 2),

N
11 Flow equals to 2 mm from the flow graph,
n

TE
iii. Peak of curve taken from the bulk specific gravity graph (see Note 3),

iv. YFB equals to 75% for wearing course and 70% for binder course from the VFB
graph,
A
v. VIM equals to 4.0% for wearing course and 5.0% for binder course from the
VIM graph.
EJ

The individual test values at the"mean optimum binder content shall then be read from the
plotted smooth curves and shall comply with the design pararoeters given in Table 4.11.4.
M

If all the values comply with Table 4.11.4, the mixture with that mean optimum binder
content shall be used in Stage 2 below.

If any of the values does not comply with Table 4.11.4, the mix design procedure shall be
EN

repeated using a different aggregate gradation until all design pararoeters are satisfied.

Note:
1. The range of binder content shall be extended if necessary to ensure that the curves C!f stability and
M

bulk specific gravity have their peak within the range selected.

() 2. Where the stability curve exhibits more than onc peak. the binder content chosen for the
determination of the mean optimum binder content shall be the one which satisfies the voids
KU

requirements better. It is sometimes necessary where no peak stability is obtained, to prepare and
test supplementary specimens at intervals of 0.25% binder content on either side of the expected
optimum.

3. With highly absorptive aggregate, some difficulty in determining peak bulk specific gravity may
O

occur. In such cases, the binder content at which the increase in bulk specific gravity shows a
marked falling off shall be adopted.

Bitumen emulsion and penetration grade bitumen possess little, if any, flexibility and
highly susceptible to temperature. Hence, their use is limited in crack filling for non-
working cracks. Similarly, since fiber particles provide minimal elasticity to bitumen and
EN

do not significantly affect temperature susceptibility, fiberised bitumen is most


appropriate for non-working cracks.

Three materials excluded from the list above are cutback bitumen, mineral-filled (granite
M

dust, limestone dust etc) bitumen and sand-bitumen mixes. Cutback bitumen is rarely
used because of environmental hazards, whereas mineral-filled bitumen is Dot cost-
~ ) effective. Sand-bitumen mixes are considered to be crack repair (partial-depth patching,

4_14-3 Aoplication Methods

Sealing of individual cracks is often regarded as being tedious and time consuming.
M

However, when done correctly, it often provides the most effective treatment in terms of
waterproofing and extending the pavement life.

Crack sealing materials shall be placed in cracks in four different configurations as


EN

described below.

4.14.3.1 Configurations
M

(a) Flush Fill


\. ) In a flush fill configuration, the crack sealing material shall be simply placed into the
KU

existing, uncut crack and excess material is struck off. Figure 1 illustrates the flush fill
configuration.

FIGURE 1- FLUSH FILL

(b) Reservoir

confines of a cut crack. The material sball be placed either flush witb or slightly below
the pavement surface. Figure 2 illustrates the reservoir configuration.

N
Standard Reservoir-aod-F1ush

TE Deep Reservoir-aDd-Flush
A
(c) Overhand
EJ
In an overhand configuration, tbe crack sealing material shall be placed into and over an
uncut crack. The material shall be shaped into a band over the crack by using a rubber
blade squeegee or a sealing shoe that flattens the material over the crack which assists in
establishing a hot bond for the band. If not, the unshaped material may continue to flow
M

and level out after being applied and the bonds occwring as a result of this self-leveling
are relatively weak because the material will have decreased in temperature. Figure 3
illustrates the overhand configuration.
EN

Overhand configuration is most appropriate for cracks having a considerable amouot of


edge deterioration (more than 10% of crack length) because the overhand simultaneously
fills and covers the deteriorated segments in the same pass.

4.14.3.2 Selection of Crack

The S.O. shaD designate the location of the cracks to be sealed. Crocodile cracks, high-
M

density multiple cracks and other types of crack which are due to structural damage shaD
not be treated with crack sealing. The best candidates for crack sealing are relatively new
pavements that are beginning to form cracks, with crack width greater than 3 mm but less
than 20 mm. Cracks with crack width greater than 20 mm and are not due to structural
EN

damage shaD be cut and patched.

4.14.3.3 Preparation of Crack


M

Cracks shaD be prepared to receive sealants. The better the preparation, the better the
chance that the sealant wiD last and perform. Cracks shaD be free of aD dirt, dust, debris,
moisture and other foreign materials. These materials are likely to be encountered
KU

particularly if cracks are cut. The sealant shall have a clean, dry bonding surface. The
area to be sealed shall be kept clean and dry until all sealing operations are completed.

Crack preparation shall be accomplished with compressed air and a simple blow pipe.
O

This technique works well when the dirt is dry and packed hard. If the cracks are filled
with wet dirt, the dirt needs to be removed and the crack must be completely dried. An air
compressor or a bot air lance generating temperatures in excess of 1370 °C is the best
D

tool.

Results from the SHRP study showed there is a 40% greater chance of crack sealant
success if cracks are cut prior to sealing. Cutting a reservoir above the cracks allows
adequate crack sealant expansion and contraction. The reservoir also ensures that the
proper amount of crack sealant penetrates the crack. An operator passes the pavement
cutter over the crack and cuts a reservoir into the crack. Once the cutting is complete.
compressed air (hot or cold) or engine-powered steel wire brush shall be used to remove
the dust created by the cutting operation.

M

(a) Cutting o/Crack


EN

Crack cutting shall be carried out by using a high production machine that follows cracks
well and produces minimal spalls or fractures, otherwise it may inflict additional damage
on the pavement.
M

The vertical-spindle router is the least damaging and most maneuverable pavement
cutting machine though its cutting rate is quite low.
J
KU

The rotary-impact router is much more productive than the vertical-spindle router.
However, it may cause considerable more damage, depending on the type of cutting bit
used. Carbide router bits are highly recommended over steel router bits.
O

The random crack saw with 150 to 200 mm diameter diamond blades can follow
meandering cracks moderately well. Althougb its cutting rate is not nearly as high as the
rotary-impact router, it provides a more rectangular reservoir with smoother walls and a
D

higher percentage of aggregate surface area.

(b) Cleaning and Drying a/Crack

Crack cleaning and drying are perhaps the most important aspect of crack sealing and
filling operations because a high percentage of failures are adhesion failures that result
from dirty or moist crack channels.
The four primary procedures used in cleaning and drying crack channels are
described in the following sections.

54·153
JKRlSPJI2008-S4

i) Air blasting

Air blasting shall be done with either one ofthe following equipment;

• Portable backpack or power-driven blowers.

• High-pressure air compressors with boses and wands.

Backpack and power-driven blowers deliver high volumes or air at low

ER
pressures. As a result, blast velocity is generally limited to between 75 and 110
mls which is undesirable. The advantages of these blowers are they require only
one worker and provide good mobility.

High-pressure air compressors which can deliver a minimum blast pressure of

D
690 kPa, blast flow of 0.07 m'ls and blast velocity of 990 mls are more effective
in cleaning cracks. They are reconunended to be equipped with oil and moisrure

N
filtering systems as the introduction of oil or moisture to the crack channel can
seriously inhibit bonding of the crack sealing material to the sidewall.

TE
As high-pressure air blasting provides no heat and very little drying, it shall only
be performed when the pavement and crack channel are completely dry.

High-pressure air blasting shall be conducted in two steps;


A
I. First pass, made along the crack, shall dislodge loose dirt and debris
EJ
from the crack channel (and surrounding pavement if overband
configoration is to be applied). The wand shall be held no less than 50
mm above the crack channel.
M

2. Second pass shall completely remove all the dislodged particles from
the pavement surface. The wand shall be held further away from the
pavement surface to make use of a larger blast area.
EN

High-pressure air blasting shall be conducted immediately ahead of the sealing


material application. The greater the time interval between these two operations.
the more likely dust and debris will resettle into the crack channel.
M

ii) Hot Air blasting


~)
KU

Hot air blasting shall be performed with a hot compressed-air lance connected to
a compressed-air unit. The extreme heat it delivers to a crack provides two
benefits;

i. Crack moisture is quickly dissipated, thereby improving the bonding of


O

the sealing material.


D

ll. Heated crack surface can enhance bonding of hot-applied sealing


materials if the material application operation follows closely behind
the hot air blasting operation.

Minimum requirements for hot air blasting unit shall be a 1370 °C heat capacity
and a 610 mls blast velocity.

Hot air blasting shall be conducted in two steps;

i. First pass, made along the crack, shall clean and heat the crack
sidewalls (and surrounding pavement if overband configuration is to be

S4-154
JKRlSPJ/2006-S4

applied). The heat lance shall be held approximately 50 mm above the


crack channel. Proper heating is manifested by a slightly darkened
colour; burning is apparent by a black colour and a very gritty texture.

ii. Second pass shall completely remove all the dislodged particles from
the pavement surface. The beat lance shall be held further away from
the pavement surface to make use of a larger blast area.

Hot air blasting shall be conducted immediately ahead of the sealing material

ER
application. This will limit the amount of dust and debris blown into the cleaned
crack channel, maximise crack warmth for enhanced bonding and minimise
moisture condensation into the crack channel.

iii) Sandblasting

D
Due to environmental and health hazards, sandblasting is Dot recommended.

N
iv) Wire brushing

TE
Cut cracks shall be cleaned by using mecbanical, power-driven wire brushes in
conjunction with air blasting (bot or cold). Depending on the brusb and bristle
characteristics, this combination is quite effective at removing debris lodged in
the crack. Brusb attachment shan contain bristles wbich are flexible enough to
A
allow penetration into the crack channel, yet rigid enough to remove dirt and
debris.
EJ

Notwithstanding the use of the cleaning and drying procedures as described


above, if the equipment is unable to remove dirt, debris and any form of loose
fragments, they shall be removed manually with band tools.
M

4.14.3.4 Application of Crack Sealing Material

(a) Cold-applied thennoplastic bituminous materials


EN

Bitumen emulsion materials shall be applied in various ways. They shall be loaded into
distributors for partially heated application or kept in dmms for unheated application.
Distributors shall be equipped witb pressure or gravity hoses for wand application. Hand-
M

held or wbeeled pour pots shall be used to apply heated or unheated bitumen emulsion to
the cracks. The emulsion shall be applied at ambient temperature or sball be partially
J
KU

heated to between 52 and 66 'C.

(b) Hot-applied thermoplastic bituminous materials

Unmodified bitumen shall be heated and placed using bitumen distributors or direct-
O

beating kettles. These units typically bum propane gas for heat and the heat is applied
directly to the melting vat containing the bitumen.
D

For modified bitumen, the direct-heat system is not recommended as it can cause uneven
heating or overheating of the material, particularly when no agitation devices are
available. The modified bitumen shan be heated and mixed in indirect-heat, agitator-type
kettles. These units bum either propane or diesel fuel, and the resulting heat is applied to
a transfer-oil that surrounds a double-jacketed melting vat containing the treahnent
material. They shall be equipped with agitation devices.

54-155
JKRl5PJI2008-S4

(c) Chemically cured thermosetting materials

Silicone pumps shall be capable of being directly attached to the original material
container, typically a 19-1itre or 208-litre drum. Pumps and applicators shall provide the
sealing material to the crack at a minimum flow rate of 0.03 litrelsecond. Teflon-lined
application hoses and seals are recommended because they are able to prevent silicone
from curing in the pump or hose.

4.14.3.5 Material Finishing and Shaping

ER
Material finishing and shaping shall be accomplished in two ways;

i. Various sizes of dish-shaped attachments shall be connected to the end of the


application wand for one-step application, finishing and shaping.

D
ii. Industrial rubber squeegees shall be used behind the material applicator to

N
provide the desired shape.

TE
The one-step method requires ODe less worker but often does not provide as much control
in finishing as the squeegee method especially for overband configurations.

Prior to installation, the finishing and shaping tool shall he tested to ensure that the
desired configuration is achieved.
A
Dish attachment to the application wand shall be of proper size and aligned to facilitate
EJ
application.

Squeegees shall he properly molded into a 'U' or 'V' shape so that the sealing material
can be concentrated over the crack. If the strike-off is to be flush, the rubber insert shall
M

be flat. If overhand configuration is required, the rubber insert shall be cut to the desired
dimensions. The depth of the cut shall be a little larger than the desired thickness of the
overhand because some thickness will be lost as a result of the squeegee being pushed
forward and slightly downward. The squeegee shall be operated closely behind the
EN

application wand. However. if the sealing material is runny enough to sink. into the crack
or flow underneath the mold provided by the squeegee, a little distance shall be kept to
allow for material cooling.
M

4.14.3.6 Opening to Traffic


( )
Traffic shall not be allowed on the crack sealing material until it has cured and the
KU

possibility of tracking no longer exists. However, if the S.O . so decides that it is


necessary to allow traffic to pass over the material before adequate curing, clean sand,
quany dust or other approved materials shall be spread by using shovels over the sealed
cracks. These materials shall be applied immediately after finishing and sbaping so that
O

they can stick to the sealing material and serve as temporary covers. They shall be
applied in a thin layer and shall fully cover the exposed sealing material.

AUSTROADS PAVEMENT TEST

Determination of the International Roughness Index (IRI)


Using ARRB TR. Walking Profiler

This test method was prepared by a Working Group ofthe AUSTROADS Pavement Reference Group.

ER
Foreword

This test method defines the procedure for measuring the International Roughness Index (IRI) of pavement

D
surfaces using the ARRB TR Walking Profiler.

N
Definitions

n
TE
(a) The IRI CInternational Roughness Index)

The IRI is the roughness index determined by applying a mathematical model (referred to as a
quarter-car model) which has the dynamic response of a simulated response-type road roughness
measuring vehicle along a single wheel-path of measured road profile. The IRI is expressed in
A
tenns of accumulated vertical displacement of the simulated suspension in metres per measured
kilometre (m/km). IRI can be reported in different ways. as follows:
EJ

• Single Track IRI


The IR1 based on a quarter car model run over a single track oflongitudinal profile.
M

• Lane IRI
This is a composite IRI value representing the roughness of a road lane section. It is
determined by averaging two individual. Single Track IR1 values obtained separately in each
wheel-path of a lane (at 0.75 metres either side of the lane mid-track).
EN

(b) NAASRA Roughness

The NAASRA Roughness is determined by applying a mathematical model (referred to as a


M

half-car model aod having the dynamic response of a standard vehicle) to two longitudinal profiles
measured simultaneously. NAASRA Roughness is expressed in couots per kilometre (cIkm).
KU

Note: An approximate value ofNAASRA Roughness can be calculated from measured IR] as follows:

NAASRA Roughness = -1.3 + 26.5(IRI) c/lan.


O

(c) A Surface Profile ofa line on a surface is the representation of the vertical locations of points on
the line against their horizontal distances along the line from a specified starting point.
D

(d) Grade is the rate of longitudinal rise or fall of the surface with respect to the horizontal distaoce.
ex:pressed as a ratio or a percentage. The longitudinal grade of the pavement surface to be
measured shall not exceed 1 in 6.

(e) Road Roughness is a measure of the riding quality of pavement in response to longitudinal profile.

(f) Absolute Offset is the machine-specific average output value between forward and reverse offset.

(g) Absolute Slope is the machine specific average value between forward and reverse slope.

EN

Laboratory Offset and Slope Calibration

(a) Stabilise the temperature of the measuring beam and profiler by placing the walking profiler,
M

with the beam attached, in a clean, temperature controlled environment for at least twelve
hours prior to commencement of the calibration. The cowl should be left in position during
the conditioning period to prevent accidental damage to or dirt contamination of the J
KU

mechanism and measuring foot.

(b) Remove the cowl and ensure there is sufficient room beside the walking profiler to carry out
the calibration procedure.
O

(c) Set the Test/Survey selector switch, on the walking profiler, to the TEST position.
D

(d) Place the calibration surface plate on the ground beside the walking profiler, immediately
adjacent too and with the long side parallel to the measuring foot. Place the bulls eye level on
top of the surface plate and establish a level surface by adjusting the legs.

(e) Undo the two (2) M4 hexagon head screws which secure the accelerometer cable clamp.
Check that the 6 foot pads. on the measuring beam, are clean.

(I) Clean the top of the surface plate by lightly brushing with the paint brush. Disengage the rear
pick up arm cones and remove the measuring beam from the walking profiler. Place the

S4-VI
JKRlSPJ/200B-S4

measuring beam on top of the surface plate in the forward position ie as it was removed from
the walking profiler. Do not lift the measuring beam by the accelerometer or the resilient
mounting plate. Ensure the accelerometer cable is not pulling or twisting on the accelerometer
at any time throughout the calibration process.

(g) Gently lift the measuring beam ends, one at a time and gently tap each end on the surface
plate as necessary to position it correctly. Check to ensure there is no overhang of the
measuring beam, at either end on the surface plate.

ER
(h) Activate the calibration menu and then follow the prompts from the computer. Continue the
calibration, through forward offset to reverse offset, forward slope and reverse slope as
directed by the computer prompts. The calibration is complete when the absolute offset lies
between - 300 mV and +300 mY, and the absolute slope lies between - 2900 m V and - 3100
mY.

D
(i) Replace the measuring beam in the walking profiler and reposition the accelerometer cable

Field Offset Trim Procedure

I b.1 Introduction

The field offset trim procedure is undertaken to initialise the walking pro filer for the ambient
conditions, particularly temperature, under which an IRl survey will he conducted. A field offset
trim should be carried out each time the walking profiler is used, to make full allowance for local

ER
variables.

Prior to any use of the walking profiler, including the field offset trim procedure, the power to the
machine must have been switched on for at least twenty (20) minutes.

D
The field offset trim procedure should be carried out on a 20 metre portion of the section to be
surveyed, that portion being as level and smooth as possible and free of any loose material.

N
The field offset trim procedure is carried out under the direction of the on-board computer system
()

TE
discussed in the Manufacturer's Instruction Manual. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with
that Manual andlor has a copy available for reference.

5.1 General

TE
PMBs are complex mixtures of polymers and a variety of petroleum products. If handled
in accordance with the directions of the suppliers, there should be no significant risk. The
hazard of bums with PMBs is greater th30 with st30dard bitumens, due to the (normally)
higher handling temperatures. It is recommended that notices, describing the action to be
A
taken in the event of bitumen or PMB burns, should be displayed in the laboratory in the
areas where bitumen and PMBs are handled. A suitable warning could be as follows :
EJ

WARNING: HOT BITUMEN & PMBs CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS

The following precautions should be taken when handling bitumen, or PMBs;


M

(a) Eye protection, such ask safety glasses 3Odlor face shields, shall be worn when
h30dling hot bitumen or PMBs.
EN

(b) Heat-resistant gloves, with close-filling cuffs, and other suitable protective clothing,
shall be worn when handling hot bitumen or PMBs.

(c) There shall be no smoking while handling hot bitumen or PMBs.


M

(d) While the material is still cold, loosen the lid of the sample container (invert the can
and warm the lid, if necessary), or punch a hole in the lid.
KU

(e) Examine the cold sample for the presence of water. If water is thought to be present,
drain most of it out, or blow with clean compressed air to evaporate the free water.
O

5.2 Sample preparation

Samples for testing shall be provided in accordance with MBT 01 and MBT 02.
D

5.3 Measurements

(a) Assemble the bolt, spider and nuts to position the surface of the bolt head 8 ± 2 mm
below the top of the sample cup.

(b) Preheat the assembly and cup to 180 ·C.

54-XVIII
JKRlSPJ/2008-S4

(e) Pour the modified binder into the cup assembly, until it begins to form a meniscus on
the top surface of the bolt.

(d) Allow the assembly to cool for one hour by leaving it to stand at room temperature
(25 ± 3°C). Adjust the assembly height to keep the top surface of the bolt flush with
the sample surface.

(e) Place the assembly into the 25 °C water bath and allow it to stabilise for one hour
(see Note I).

ER
NR!ti: The test should be conducted in an air conditioned laboratory at 25 ± 3 .. C. Alternatively,
the test can be conducted within the water bath.

(I) Adjust the spider to a position 7 ± 2 mm above the rim and return the assembly to the

D
bath.

N
(g) Place the sample assembly on the base-plate and fit the pointer to the 180 degree
position without disturbing the sample.

ER
conform to MS 124, with an appropriate quantity of natural rubber.

4.16.3 NATURAL RUBBER

D
Natural rubber shall be the material extracted from rubber trees. It shall be either in the

N
form of natural rubber latex or dry natural rubber.
(

TE
a) Natllrlll Rllbber Latex

Natural rubber latex is a sticky, milky colloid obtained by tapping rubber trees. The
latex is collected before it coagulates and transferred into air-tight containers with
A
sieving for ammoniation. The arnmoniation is necessary to preserve the latex in a
colloidal state for longer periods of time. Natural rubber latex shall be either
EJ
centrifuged latex which has a minimum rubber content of 60% or evaporated latex
which has a higher rubber content.
M

b) Dry Natural Rllbber

Dry natural rubber is natural rubber latex that has dried. A fter tapping the rubber trees,
EN

the latex will drip for usually about four hours into a cup and will stop as the latex
coagulates naturally on the tapping cut. After the liquid latex is collected from the cup,
some trees will continue to drip and this leads to a small amount of ' cup lump' which
is collected at the next tapping. The latex that coagulates on the tapping cut is also
collected as 'tree lace'. Rubber collected by small holders and coagulated by any means
M

( is called 'smallholders' lump' . Latex that drips onto the ground is collected too as 'earth
scrap'. The following paragraphs describe the four types of dry natural rubber;
KU

i) Cup Lump

Cup lump is the coagulated latex found in the collection cup when the tapper
O

next visits the tree to tap it aga in. It arises from latex clinging to the wall of
the cup after the liquid latex was last collected, and from late-dripping latex
before the latex coagulates on the cut, or from latex which is purposely left to
D

coagulate in the cup and collected on the following day. It is of higher purity
and of greater value than the other three types.

ii) Tree Lace

Tree lace is the latex that has coagulated on the tapping cut that the tapper
peels off the previous cut before making a new cut. It usually has higher

S4. 16-3
JKRlSP J/20 19-54

copper and manganese contents than cup lump. Both copper and manganese
are pro-oxidants and can lower the physical properties of the natu ral rubber.

iii) Smallholders' Lump

Smallholders' lump is produced by smallholders who collect rubber from


trees far away from the nearest factory. As it is often impossible to preserve
the latex sufficiently to get it to the factory that processes latex in time for it
to be used to make high quality products, and as the latex would anyway have
coagulated by the time it reaches the factory, the smallholder will coagulate
it by any means avai lable, in any container like small buckets. Often the latex
is coagulated in holes in the ground, which are usually lined with plastic

ER
sheeting. Acidic materials and fermented fruit juices are used to coagulate the
latex, a fonm of assisted biological coagulation. Little care is taken to exclude
leaves, barks etc. from the lumps that are fonmed .

D
iv) Earth Scrap

N
Earth scrap is the latex that gathers around the base of the tree. It arises from
latex overflowing from the cut and running down the bark of the tree, from
o
TE
rain flooding a collection cup containing latex, and from spillage from tappers
buckets during co llection. It contains soil and other contaminants, and has
variable rubber content, depending on the amount of contaminants mixed
with it. Earth scrap is collected by the field workers two or three times a year
and will be cleaned to recover the rubber. However, the product is of very low
A
quality.
EJ
Of the fou r types of dry natural rubber described above, only cup lump shall be allowed
to be used as additive to bitumen. However, of the two forms of natural rubber
described above, latex is the most effective additive to bitumen. Whether natural rubber
latex or dry natural rubber cup lump is used as additive to bitumen, the modified binder
M

shall comply with performance grade PO 76 or higher in compliance with AASHTO


Standard M320-02.

M

Natural rubber latex shall be a sticky, milky colloid obtained from rubber trees. Initially
when collected after tapping the rubber tree, the latex usually contains 30% dry rubber

and 70% water. It shall be collected before it coagulates and shall then be transferred
into air-tight containers with sieving for ammoniation whereby an ammonia solution
shall be used to preserve the latex in a colloidal state for longer periods of time. The
latex shall then be processed into high quality latex concentrate by centri fugation or
O

evaporation. The dry rubber content of the latex shall be not less than 60%. The latex
shall be of low ammonia with a maximum ammonia content of 0.3%. The complete

4.16.4 PREPARATION OF NATURAL RUBBER MODIFIED BINDER


(
Natural rubber shall be pre-blended with conventional bitumen before mixing with
KU

the aggregate in the asphalt mixing plant. The Contractor shall either provide a
blending equipment system or tank close to the asphalt mixing plant whereby natural
rubber modified binder can be manufactured on site, or shall obtain natural rubber
modified binder from an approved source which is referred to as terminal blend. The
O

terminal blend shall be transported in a well insulated tanker, and transferred into a binder
storage tank at the asphalt mixing plant as described below. In either case, the
D

Contractor shall provide a binder storage tank equipped with a suitable mechanical
agitator close to the asphalt mixing plant. This tank shall also include distribution and
circulation pipes that are properly insulated or heated. Continuous agitation of the
binder during prolonged storage is essential to prevent separation . A suitable
sampling point shall be provided at a convenient point in the storage tank system for
taking samples . Samples shall be taken after prolonged storage or at any other

S4.16-5
JKRlSPJI2019· S4

circumstances deemed necessary by the S.O. and tested for the properties as shown in
Table 5 at an approved laboratory. Sampling shall be done in accordance with MS 539.

The blending equipment system or tank shall be of adequate capacity which will allow
for at least 50% increase in volume when natural rubber, in particular natural rubber
latex, is added. It shall be fitted with piping inside for heating with hot oil that are
capable of raising the temperature of the bitumen to a maximum of 200'C. The tank
shall be insulated with a minimum of 75 mm thick rockwool and aluminium cladding.
The tank shall also be equipped with a mechanical agitator, either a paddle wheel type
which will sweep the natural rubber down through the depth of the tank or a propeller
type stirrer which will create a vortex, drawing the natural rubber down into the body
of the bitumen. Either type of ag itator shall be able to produce a homogenous bitumen

ER
- natural rubber blend.

aJ Blellllirrg Natural Rubber Latex inlo Bittlmell

D
Natural rubber latex has a water content of up to 40% which will cause foaming,

N
irrespective of whether it is first added to cold bitumen which is then heated, or whether
it is added to bitumen already heated to above the boiling point of water. o
TE
Bitumen shall be heated to a temperature of 150 - 170' C. Natural rubber latex shall be
added gradually into Ihe blending equipment system or tank, through a pump and spray
or through a sprinkler system or poured manually, at an appropriate rate so as not to
cause excessive foaming. Whichever method is used, the natural rubber latex shall fall
A
gently onto the surface of the bitumen and not splash into the bitumen. It shall be
allowed to float on the bitumen surface for about 20 seconds to allow its constituent
EJ
water to evaporate (flash oft) before being drawn into the bitumen by the mechanical
agitator. It should not float on the surface for a longer period as, once the water has
evaporated, coagulation will start and a lumpy mixture result. When the intensity of
foaming has been gauged, the remainder of the natural rubber latex shall be added as
M

fast as seems desirable to ensure that the foaming is not too great for the capacity of
the blending tank, and agitated vigorously into the bitumen. As long as the latex is
added slowly and the degree of foaming assessed, there will be no danger of the
EN

bitumen foaming over. Alternatively, anti·foaming agent shall be used as approved by


the S.O ..

Stirring shall be continued for a minimum period of20 minutes after complete addition

o
M

of the natural rubber latex. After blending is complete, the natural rubber modified
binder shall be allowed to cool to below 120'C but with continuous stirring unless it is
to be used immediately. After storage, the binder shall be heated to a temperature of
KU

150 - 170'C before use.

b) Blending Dry Na/llral Rnbber ill/o Bitllmell


O

Bitumen shall be heated to a temperature of 150 - 170' C. Dry natural rubber shall be
D

dispersed over the surface of the bitumen in a thin layer. It is then drawn into the
bitumen by the mechanical agitator. Further dry natural rubber shall be added when the
previous thin layer has been drawn down away from the surface.

S4. 16·6
1K RlSP1120 19-54

c) CompletioJ/ of Blelldillg

Blending shall be deemed 10 be complete when a small drop of natural rubber modi fied
binder from the tank, placed on an impervious surface, shows only a few specks of
rubber which are soft enough to be spread into the binder by a knife or spatula. If the
rubber particles still preserve their entity and cannot be rubbed away into the binder,
blending is considered incomplete and further heating and agitation are necessary.

d) Storage of Natl/Till RI/bber Modified Billder

The natural rubber molecule consists of a very long chain of many isoprene units which

ER
can be broken into several smaller ones by various processes; the natural rubber is said
to be degraded or broken down chemically. Heating is one of the processes which lead
to degradation of natural rubber. It degrades with time at high temperatures. It is
recommended that the effective rubber content should not be allowed to drop below

D
about half of the original rubber content added to ensure that the extent of degradation
of the natural rubber modified binder will not significantly affect the properties of the

N
asphaltic concrete. Therefore, it is recommended that the binder after blending is
( complete shall not be stored at elevated temperatures for longer than the periods shown
in Table 4 as given in Road Research Laboratory Road Note 36. The total storage time

TE
allowable at different temperatures shall be calculated as follows; after storage at one
temperature, the allowable storage time at any subsequent temperature sha ll be reduced
by the following ratio;

4.17.3 PREPARATION OF CRUMB RUBBER MODIFIED BINDER (CRMB)

N
aj Blelldillg Equipmellt
( The Contractor shall provide a blending equipment system located at the

TE
asphalt mixing plant.

The blending equipment shall have suitable heating system to raise the
temperature of CRMB blend to its optimum blending temperature which shall
A
be 170 to 190 · C. The blending equipment system, including its distribution
and circulation pipes, shall be properly insulated to prevent rapid temperature
EJ
drop during blending and discharging to the asphalt mixing plant. Suitable
storage tank(s) that matches the capacity of the blending equipment and
complete with suitable mechanical agitators shall be provided and the tank(s)
shall be connecled through the distribution and circulation pipes.
M

The blending equipment system shall be capable of producing CRMB with


consistent required properties.
EN

Alternatively, the CRMB shall be obtained ITom the supplier(s) approved by


the S.O., hereafter referred to as terminal blend which is described in sub-
section 4.17.3 (b).
M

( bj Blelldillg Process
KU

CRMB shall be produced by blending hot bituminous binder with crumb


rubber. The bituminous binder shall be penetration grade 60 - 70 and shall be
heated to about 170 to 190 'c.
O

The crumb rubber shall be added to the hot bituminous bi nder and thoroughly
mixed. The dosage of crumb rubber shall be at least 15% by weight of the
D

bituminous binder. Olher additives may also be incorporaled into the blended
bituminous binder and crumb rubber. Examples of such additive are natural
rubber, extender oil and anti-stripping agent.

During heating and mixing of the bituminous binder and crumb rubber, the
rubber particles will swell and softens as it reacts with the binder. This reaction
is influenced by the blend ing temperature, the time the temperature remain s

54. 17·5
JKRlSPJI2019-S4

elevated, the type and amount of mechanical mixing, the size and texture of
the crumb rubber, and the aromatic component ofthe binder. The crumb rubber
absorbs aromatic oils and light fractions (small volati le or active molecules)
from the binder and releases some of the similar oils used in the rubber
production into the binder.
The reSUlting CRMB blend shall then be pumped into storage tank(s) where it
shall be kept at a minimum temperature of 170 ' C for a period of 45 to 60
minutes to allow for further swelling of the crumb rubber.

Terminal Blend

ER
Terminal blend is a mixture of bituminous binder and crumb rubber, which is finely
ground to sizes less than 40 mesh. It shall be essentially produced elsewhere
outside the asphalt mixing plant, hereafter referred to as the 'terminal'. by using a
wet process, The binder shall be heated in a tank to an elevated temperature and

D
crumb rubber sha ll be introduced into the tank and digested into the binder using
a high shear process. During this process, samples shall be taken and tested for

N
o
solubility in accordance to ASTM 0 2042 to ensure the crumb rubber has been
completely digested. The solubility of the terminal blend after completion of
blending shall be not less than 97.5%.

TE
After completion ofthe blending, the terminal blend shall be transported in well
insulated tankers, and transferred into storage tanks at the asphalt mixing plant
as described above. The tenminal blend may be held in the storage tanks for a
maximum period of 3 days without agitation as the crumb rubber is considered
A
completely digested into the binder. However, if the storage period exceed 3
days, proper agitation shall be provided.
EJ

The primary difference between terminal blend and the CRMB produced at the
asphalt mixing plant (field blend) is the amount of crumb rubber used in the
M

binder (tenminal blend less than 10%; field blend at least 15%). However, the
crumb rubber content in the tenminal blend can be increased to 15 - 20% or
more.
EN

c) Formulation

The Contractor shall provide a blend formulation to the S.D. for approval at

o
M

least 10 days before paving works is scheduled to commence. The blend


fonmulation shall consist of the following infonmation;
KU

i. Bituminous binder
• Source
• Grade
O

ii. Crumb rubber


• Source
D

• Percentage by total weight of bituminous binder

d) Completion of Blent/ing

The blending process shall be deemed to be complete when a small drop of


CRMB from the blending system, placed on an impervious surface, shows only

S4.17-6
JKRlSPJI2019-S4

a few specks of rubber which are soft enough to be spread into the CRMB by
a knife or spatula. If the rubber particles sti ll preserve their entity and cannot
be rubbed away into the CRMB, blending is deemed incomplete, thus further
heating and agitation are required .

e) Samplillg of CRMB

The S.O. may, as and when required, instruct the Contractor to sample the
CRMB !Tom the blending system and send them for testing. Sampling points
shall be provided at convenient points in the blending system. Sampling shall
be done in accordance with MS 539. The Contraclor shall bear all charges

ER
related to the testing as specified in Table 3.

j) Storage ofCRMB

D
The Contractor shall provide a storage system capable of de livering the

N
mod ified binder to the asphalt mixing plant. The storage system shall be
( located close to the aspha lt mixing plant and it shall include distribution and

TE
circulation pipes that are properly insulated to prevent rapid temperature drop.

The storage tank shall have suitable mechanical agitator and be connected
through delivery pipes and back-circulation pipes. Suitable sampling points
shall be provided at convenient points in the storage system for taking samples.
A
Sampling shall be done in accordance with MS 539.
EJ
The CRMB shall be used within 24 hours. If storage is necessary due to
inevitable reasons, the binder shall be cooled to 145 - 155 'C and the storage
time shall be limited to 3 days. During storage, the binder shall be continuously
agitated.
M

If prolonged storage (more than 3 days) is unavoidable, the CRMB shall be


tested for compl iance as specified in Table 3. If non-compliance occurs, the
EN

CRMB shall be modified by adding more crumb rubber until the CRMB
complies with the requirement.
M

g) Applicatioll o/CRMB
(
At the time of app lication, the crumb rubber shall be dispersed uniformly

ii . Prepare asphalt mixtures specimen according to preparation method of asphalt
mixtures specimen (rolling method) of this specification, extracled from mold
after being cooled down to the specified time and remove the paper on the surface
at preparation of the specimen.
ii. Place specimen on a stable plane and plastic ring at the measuring points at the
center of the specimen, draw 2 circles with a chalk along the inner side and outer
side of the plastic ring and the part between the outer ring and the inner ring is the
sealing area required to be sealed with sealing material.
III . Make a sealing treatment to the annular seal area with sealing material and notice

ER
not to make the sealing material into the inner circle; if the sealing material enters
by accident, tear it away with scraper. Pile the strip sealing material which is
twisted into thumb shape at the center of the annular seal area and pile it inlo a
circle.
iv. Erect the specimen at left and righl sides with suitable cushion block or wood

(J KRISPJ/2020-S5)

JRCP uses contraction joints and reinforced steel to control cracking .


Temperature and moisture stresses cause cracking between jOints which is why
reinforced steel or a steel mesh is used to hold these cracks together. Dowel bars
are typically used at transverse joints to assist in load transfer while the reinforced
steel or wire mesh assists in load transfer across cracks.

The spacing of the jointing pattems shall be constructed as per designed drawing

5.5 JOINTS

5.5.1 General

Joints shall be constructed as indicated on the Drawings and in accordance with


these requirements. All jOints shall be constructed true to line on a plane
perpendicular to the surface of the pavement. Joints shall not vary in their location
by more than 6mm from that shown on the drawings. Transverse joints shall be at
right angles to the centerline of the pavement and shall extend the full width of the
slab.

Joints shall be controlled joints or construction joints, as shown in the Drawings.
The location of all construction joints shall be shown in the contractors Construction
Plan.

D
Joints in the road base layer shall be either longitudinal or transverse construction
n

N
joints only, and no expansion or contraction jOints are required . The location of all
construction joints, relative to the future joints in the overlaying concrete slab layer,

TE
shall be as shown on the Drawings. In particular, no construction jOint in the bound
roadbase shall be closer than 300mm to any parallel joint in the concrete slab layer.

In the concrete slab only, when the full width of the pavement is constructed as a
A
series of lanes, the transverse joints in succeeding lanes shall be placed in line

pavement slab before concrete is placed .
M

( ) No edges of transverse joints shall be rounded/ chamfered , except for expansion


KU

joints, as shown on the Drawings.

5.5.2 Transverse Contraction Joints


O

Transverse contraction joints shall consist of planes of weakness created by cutting


grooves on the surface of the pavement and, when shown on the Drawings, shall
D

include load transfer dowel bar assemblies.

Grooves shall be sawn into the concrete after its initial set.

All joints shall be sawn before uncontrolled shrinkage cracking takes place but not
until the concrete has hardened to the extent that tearing and raveling is not
excessive, usually 4 to 24 hours after placing . Any procedure for sawing joints that

33
(JKRlSPJ/2020-S5)

result in premature and uncontrolled cracking shall be revised immediately, for


example by adjusting the sequence of cutting the joints or the time interval involved
between the placing of the concrete and cutting the jOints.

All transverse contraction joints in the concrete slab shall be saw cut. Saw cutting
shall comprise of an initial cut to prevent uncontrolled shrinkage and thermal
cracking, followed by second, shallower cut to accommodate the jOint sealant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial saw cut shall be completed prior to any
uncontrolled cracking . For the second cut, no spalling greater than 2mm in depth
is permitted.

ER
Following the initial cut, the groove and adjacent pavement surface shall be
immediately washed clean of sawing detritus with high-pressure water. Cotton cord
of diameter 4mm or more shall be installed in the saw cut immediately after the
washing to prevent further ingress of detritus. The cord shall be depressed between

D
6 and 10mm below the pavement surface, and maintained intact until the second

To accommodate the joint sealing materials, the top portion of the initial saw cut
shall be widened by means of second, shallower cut. The amount of widening shall
be related to the shape factor of the joint sealing materials.
A
The amount of widening, timing of the second cut relative to sealing the joint, and
degree of cleaning, joint preparation and priming shall be as recommended by the
EJ

sealant manufacturer, and is subject to approval by the S.O. Before commencing


the widening cut, the cotton cord shall be depressed to the bottom of the first saw
M

cut groove.

Immediately after completion of the second widening cut, the completed saw cut
EN

shall be washed clean with high-pressure water. The widened groove shall be
maintained clean by the installation of a temporary seal , as recommended by the
sealant manufacturer.
M

If dowel bars are required in concrete slab contraction joints, they shall conform to J
KU

Sub-clause 5.2.9 and Sub-clause 5.4.1.6. Dowels shall be supported by an


approved load transfer assembly device, which shall be a pre-fabricated dowel
basket, rigid enough to permit complete assembly as a unit, ready to be lifted and
placed into position at each contraction jOint location. Installation of dowel bars shall
O

be checked for exact position and alignment as soon as the joint device is fixed in
place, and the device shall be tested to determine whether it is firmly supported.
D

The assembly device is to be left permanently in place. The maximum permissible


tolerance on dowel bar alignment in each plane, horizontal and vertical, shall not
exceed 1 percent or 3mm per 300mm of a dowel bar.

Prior to concreting, one half of each dowel length, plus 2Smm, shall be thoroughly
coated with bitumen to prevent the concrete from binding to that portion of the
dowel.

34

A
....
EJ
Transverse construction joints for both bound roadbase and concrete slab shall be
installed at the end of each day's placing operations, and when concrete placement
is interrupted for more than 30 minutes, or when it appears that the concrete will
M

obtain its initial set before fresh concrete arrives. If the pouring of the concrete has
been stopped, surplus freshly placed concrete shall be removed back to the
proposed construction joint location.
EN

Transverse construction joints in bound road base shall be plain butt joints, as
shown in the Drawings, and located so as not to be closer than 300mm to any

total length of the transition slab shall not be less than 2 meter length, and as shown
in the drawing.

35
(JKRlSPJ/2020-S5)

5.5.6 Expansion Joints

An expansion joint is placed at a specific location to allow the pavement to expand


without damaging adjacent structures or the pavement itself. It was common
practice to use plain, jointed slabs with both contraction and expansion joints. The
width of an expansion joint is typically 20 mm or more. Filler material is commonly
placed 20mm to 25mm inch below the slab surface to allow space for sealing
material. Smooth dowels are the most widely used method of transferring load
across expansion jOints. Expansion joint dowels are specially fabricated with a cap
on one end of each dowel that creates a void in the slab to accommodate the dowel
as the adjacent slab closes the expansion joint.

ER
5.5.7 Sealing of Joints

D
The sealing of joints shall be approved by the S.O.

N
Should sealing is required; joints shall be sealed as soon after completion of the
curing period as feasible and before the pavement is opened to traffic.

5.1 1.5 Surface Regularity

5.11 .5.1 Description

Riding quality on a road surface is positively correlated with roughness of the


surface. Low roughness corresponds to good riding quality and vice versa.
Roughness of a pavement surface is brought about by uneven settlement, short
and long wave undulations, rutting, wide cracking and other surface defects such
as potholes, delamination etc.

The International Roughness Index (IRI) is used internationally to measure the

ER
degree of roughness of a pavement surface. It is representative of the vertical
motions induced in moving vehicles for the frequency bandwidth which affects both
the response of the vehicle and the comfort perceived by the occupants.

D
5.11.5.2 Measurement of IRI

N
n The regularity of the completed pavement surface shall be measured before traffic

5.14.1 Description

This work shall consist of furnishing, placing, shaping and compacting RCC course
O

on a bitumen primed pavement course. RCC material shall compose of mineral


aggregate and cement uniformly blended and mixed with water in the plant. The
D

mixed materials shall be spread, shaped and compacted in accordance with this
SpeCification and in conformity to the lines, grades, dimensions and typical cross-
sections as shown on the Drawings. This pavement course shall be built in a series
of parallel lanes that may reduce longitudinal and transverse joints to a minimum.

49
(JKRlSPJ/2020-S5)

5.1 4.2 Materials

RCC has similar constituents to conventional concrete. However, they are mixed in
different ratios and the mix contains much less water than conventional concrete
mix, and generally dryer without slump. The strength of the finished material is
reliant on the constituents of the mix and the level of compaction that can be
achieved. Aggregate comprise up to 85% of the mixture and the correct selection
and grading of aggregates is a key element of successful RCC. A dense well-
graded aggregate blend is required as in Sub-clause 5.14.3.2.

i. Water

ER
Water shall be clean and free from injurious of sewage, oil , acid, strong alkalis
or vegetable matter and it shall be free from clay or silt. If the water is of
questionable quality, it shall be tested in accordance with requirements of MS

D
EN 1008.

N
ii. Cement

TE
Cement for RCC shall be of the types described in MS EN 197-1 and
MS1037.
A
Manufacturer's certificates of test will , in general, be accepted as proof of
EJ
soundness. Additional tests shall be carried out on any cement, which
appears to have deteriorated through age, damage to containers, improper
storage or any other reason . In any event, the batch of cement, which has
M

been sampled and tested and found not to have complied with the
requirements, shall be rejected and removed from the site.
EN

Cement shall be transported to the site in covered vehicles adequately


protected against water. It shall be stored in a weatherproof cement store to
the approval of the S.O. and shall be taken for use in the Works in the order
M

of its delivery into the store. Cement delivered in bulk shall be stored in silos
of an approved design. J
KU

iii. Aggregate

Aggregate shall be naturally occurring sand, gravel or stone, crushed or


O

uncrushed except otherwise specified, and shall comply with BS EN13242.


They shall be from source approved by the S.O. and shall be hard, strong,

TE
interval until desired quality is achieved or until 48 hours. All saw shall be
equipped with blade guards and guides or devices to control alignment and
depth.
A
vii. Transporting
EJ

RCC mix is transported to the job site in dump trucks. Precaution should be paid to
prevent RCC segregation when loading trucks, transporting the mixture, or
M

discharging into paver hoper. Because of very dry consistency of RCC, fluidizing
admixtures are sometimes used when hauling RCC in transit mixers. The following
points should be considered in transporting RCC:
EN

a) The fleet capacity and configuration should be determined by taking into


account the mixer throughput, hauling distance, paving plant capacity, climate.
M

and time (day/night) of paving.


J
KU

b) While RCC can be placed directly into dump trucks from tilt drum and horizontal
shaft mixers, the use of transit mixers involves the additional step of
discharging into a dump truck for deliver.
O

c) Dump trucks are kept clean by frequent washing. RCC can stick to the dump
body and, if not washed away, can cause problems while unloading. In
D

addition, the box should be cleaned out after each delivery to ensure the older
and potentially dried out RCC does not end up in the next truck load.

d) RCC is covered with tarps or other suitable coverings in order to avoid


excessive moisture loss, which can cause problems in placement, compaction,
and performance. Additionally, the mixture should be kept slightly above the
optimum moisture content to accommodate water loss during transportation .
The optimum moisture content is required for proper compaction.

58
(JKRlSPJ/2020-S5)

e) An oscillating hopper at the discharge point is opened and shuted for every
load to prevent segregation. RCC is discharged into the truck uniformly through
the entire length of the truck box: one-third at the front, one-third at the center,
and one third at the back.

For adequate placement, the transportation time from the mixing plant to discharge
into the paver hopper is kept to minimum. Fresh RCC workability decreases with
time; as a result, transportation time is generally kept to no more than 45 minutes,
measured from the initial water cementitious materials contact to discharge into the
paver hopper. The time can be increased by using retarders, as long as evaporation
rate is controlled .

ER
viii. Placing

The RCC shall be transported to the job site in suitable vehicles and shall be

D
deposited on the moistened underlying layer in uniform layers by asphalt paver. Not

N
more than 60 minutes shall elapse between the start of mixing and the start of
compaction of the RGC on the prepared underlying layer. The time can be increased

TE
by using retarders . As long as the mix is workable and can be easily compacted to
achieved the required density upon placing.

RCC typically placed with an asphalt paver. The paver should be able to place RCG
A
at least 85 percent of the reference wet density across the entire paving width before
EJ
rolling begins. The underlying layer should be uniformly moist at the time of RCC
placement, if required, sprinkli~ g of water to remoisten certain areas shall take place
in order to ensure the uniformly moist.
M

To prevent segregation during placement, the paver hopper should never be


completely emptied, the sides of the hopper should never be raised, and the RCG
EN

should always cove~ the feed auger shaft.

The paver is to maintaining continuous forward motion with the paver helps prevent
M

the formation of bumps or depressions on the final pavement surface. Continuous


() forward motion is achieved by balancing paver speed with a consistent rate of
KU

delivery. The pavers are typically equipped with vibratory screeds to provide some
initial extemal compaction.

The surface of the RCG pavement once it leaves the paver is required to be smooth,
O

uniform and continuous without excessive tears, ridges or aggregate segregation.


D

All exposed surfaces of the ReC pavement must be kept moist until final curing. Fog
spraying and evaporation retarders are economical and effective techniques for
maintaining moisture without washing fines and paste from the surface.

a) Setting of the String Linel Guide Lines

i. Setting of String Lines

59
(JKRlSPJ/2020-S5)

String lines shall be used to guide the paver in laying RCC in grade, lift
thickness and alignment and must be installed with enough clearance as to
not be disturbed during laying operations. String lines to be used shall be
sufficiently tough under tension. String lines shall be set sufficiently in
advance of the point where concrete is being laid. After the string lines have
been set to correct grade, the grade shall be thoroughly tamped,
mechanically or by hand, at both the inside and outside edges of the base
of the string lines. The string lines shall not deviate from true line by more
than one (1) cm at any point.

ii. Grade and Alignment

ER
The alignment and grade elevations of the string lines shall be checked and
corrections made by the Contractor immediately before RCC laying. Testing
as to Crown and elevation with reference to the design, prior to placing of
concrete can be made by means of holding an approved template in a

D
vertical position and moved backward and forward along the string lines.

N
When any string lines have been disturbed or any grade has become

TE
unstable, the string lines shall be reset and rechecked.

ix. Compaction
A
The compaction stage of construction is important because of its strong influence on
the density, strength, permeability, and smoothness of the RCC pavement. Ree is
EJ

usually compacted with a 10-ton steel wheeled tandem roller immediately after
placement. Pneumatic tyred roller have also been used successfully, especially for
a final pass to remove surface cracks and tears and provide a smooth, tight surface.
M

Because there is no bleed water at the surface of Ree pavements, a good method
for determining that the RCC is ready for compaction is to observe the behavior of
EN

the fresh RCC under static roller passes. RGG that has proper consistency for
compaction will deflect uniformly under roller passes. If the RCe is too wet for proper
compaction, the surface will appear shiny and pasty, and the ReC will exhibit
M

pumping behavior under the roller.


J
If the RGG is too dry, the surface will appear dusty or grainy and may even shear
KU

horizontally, In addition, aggregate segregation is likely to occur and sufficient


density will be difficult to obtain, especially in the lower portion of the lift. In most
cases, troubleshooting mixture problems caused by variations in the moisture
O

content would indicate that a minor adjustment is necessary. If adjusting the water
content is not successful, checking the aggregate gradation or plant calibration may
D

be necessary.

ReG should be compacted as soon as possible after it is spread, especially in hot


weather. Typically, compaction should be completed within 15 minutes of spread and
60 minutes of initial mixing. The compaction time can be increased by using
retarders, the mix design and quality control plan shall submitted by the Contractor
and approved by the S.O. prior to any compaction to ensure that the concrete
produced complies with the Specifications.

60
(JKRlSPJ/2020-S5)

Typically, four to six passes of 10-ton steel wheeled tandem roller will achieved the
desired density of at least 95% for RCC lifts in range of 150 - 200mm.
Overcompaction or excessive rolling should be avoided.

The field density of the compacted mixture shall be at least 95% of the maximum
density of laboratory specimens prepared from samples of the RCC. The specimens
shall be compacted and tested in accordance with ASTM 01557 Method O. The in-
place field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM 01556 and ASTM
02167.

x. Laying Thickness

The minimum compacted layer thickness shall be 150mm to maximum thickness of

ER
200mm.

In the case of total thickness of the slab is required to be greater than 200mm, it shall

D
be laid in multiple layers separated by a debonding layer as per Sub-clause 5.14.4
(i)(e).

A2 Method

D
The surface to be measured shall be dried, any extraneous mortar and/or loose

N
material removed, and the surface swept clean using a wire brush both at right
angles and parallel to the centerline of the carriageway.

TE
The 25ml cylinder shall be filled with the sand, tapping the base three times on
a hard surface to ensure compaction, and striking off the sand, level with the
top of the cylinder.
A
EJ
The sand shall be poured into a heap on the surface to be tested. The sand
shall be spread over the surface, working the disc with its face kept flat, in a
circular motion so that the sand is spread into a circular patch with the surface
M

depressions filled with sand to the level of the peaks.

The diameter of the patch shall be measured to the nearest 5mm. A minimum
EN

of 4 measurements equally spaced around the circumference of the circular


patch should be ta ken to compute the average diameter, D.
M

The texture depth in mm of concrete surfaces shall be calculated as:-


KU

Texture depth = 4V / TTD'


O

Where:
D

v = volume of sand in mm 3 .
o = average diameter of the sand patch in mm.

EQUALITY CONTROL FOR ROLLER COMPACTED CONCRETE (RCCI

The quality of RCC will be controlled based on the fresh concrete and hardened
concrete performance. Quality of fresh RCC properties workability and density are
determined by the Vebe vibrating table. The workability of RCC is measured as the
time required for a given mass of RCC to be consolidated by vibrating in a cylindrically

ER
shaped mold. Density of the compacted RCC is then measured by determining the
mass of the consolidated RCC and dividing by its volume, which is determined by using
water displacement methods. Figure 1 shows the vibrating table that is used for the
Vebe Test. For detailed testing procedures, please refer to ASTM C1170 .

FOREWORD
As practices in road construction change over time, it is imperative for Jabatan Ke~a
Raya (JKR) to continuously update and improve their Standard Specifications. These
new specifications are not only aimed at keeping abreast with current technologies but
also to help improve the quality of construction works and its final product.
Consequently, these new specifications will ultimately have a significant positive impact
on the construction industry especially with the incorporation of new products and
technologies.

The JKR Standard Specification for Road Works is an essential component in the road

ER
infrastructure construction industry. This Specification provides an improved guidance in
the material selection and quality control of workmanship and products, based on
current best practices. The purpose of the JKR Standard Specification is to establish

D
uniformity in road construction to be used by road designers, road authorities,
manufacturers and suppliers of road related products.

N
This particular document, the "Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 6:

TE
Road Furniture", is a part of a series of improved specifications in the JKR Standard
Specification for Road Works. The compilation of this document was carried out through
many discussions that had been held by the technical committee. The draft had also
been presented and discussed at length in a specially held workshop to get feedback
A
and comments from relevant parties involved, which were then carefully considered and
EJ
incorporated into the Specification wherever appropriate or necessary.

The Specification has also gone through the different phases of vetting and approval
M

before the production of its final draft and printed copy. It will be reviewed and updated
from time to time to cater for any changes in policies and the inclusion of current
requirements, if necessary. Any feedback or improvement to be considered for future
EN

revisions should be forwarded to Sahagian Pembangunan Inovasi & Standard,

FOREWORD

ER
As practices in road construction change over time, it is imperative for labatan Kerja Raya (JKR) to
continuously update and improve their standard specificat ions. These new specifications are not

D
only aimed at keepi ng abreast wi th current technologies but also helping in improvi ng the qu ality of
constructed product. In Llllison, these new specifications have a signi ficm po\ itive impact on the

N
constru ct ion industry especiall y with the incorporation of new products and ~chnologies.

TE
Standard Specification for Road \Vorks is an essential cOl11pon~vn the road infrastmcture
construction industry. This specificati on provides an improved guidance in the material selecti on
and the production of good qua lity workmanshi p and products Jj~d on current best pract ices. The
purpose of this standard spccification is to establish nnirol'll1lt'\l) n road works to be used by road
A
designers, road authorities, llulIlutbcturers and suppliers of~ related products.
EJ
This docu ment "S tandard Specificat ion for Road War s - Section 8: T raffi c Signal System" is a part
of a series of improved specifications in tl e Standard Specification for Road Works. The
compilation of this document was carried ou (h 'ough many discussions by the technical committee
members. Additionall y it has been re viewed a group of independent consultants and prescnted at
M

a technical worksho p held o n J 5 - 17 Jul y 2008. Feedba cks and comments received were carefully
considered and incorporated in the spec~calion where appropriate.

FOREWORD

As practices in road construction change over time, it is imperative that Jabatan Kerja Raya
(JKR) to continuously update and improve their standard specifications. These new
specifications are not only aimed at keeping abreast with current technologies but also to
help improve the quality of construction works and its final product. Consequently, these new
specifications will ultimately have a significant positive impact on the construction industry
especially with the incorporation of new products and technologies.

ER
The JKR Standard Specification for Road Works is an essential document in the road
infrastructure construction industry. This Specification provides an improved guidance in the
material selection and quality control of workmanship and products, based on current best

D
practices. The purpose of the JKR Standard Specification is to establish uniformity and
compliance in road design and construction and to be used by road designers, road

N
authorities, manufacturers and suppliers of road related products.

TE
This particular document, the "Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 9:
Concrete", is a part of a series of improved specifications in the JKR Standard Specification
for Road Works. The compilation of this document was carried out through a series of
discussions that had been held by the technical committee. The draft had also been
A
presented and discussed at length in a specially held workshop to get feedback and
comments from relevant parties involved, which were then carefully studied and incorporated
EJ

into the Specification wherever appropriate or necessary.

The Specification has also gone through different phases of vetting and approval before the
M

production of its final draft and printed copy. It shall be reviewed and updated from time to
time to cater for any changes in policies and the inclusion of current requirements, if
EN

necessary. Any feedback or improvement to be considered for future revisions should be


forwarded to Sahagian Pembangunan Inovasi & Standard, Cawangan Jalan, JKR Malaysia.

N
9.4.9.1 Unless otherwise approved by the S.O., concrete shall be
thoroughly compacted by vibration and thoroughly worked around

TE
the reinforcement, tendons or duct formers, around embedded
fixtures and into comers of the formwork to form a dense,
homogenous mass, free from voids and which will have the
required surface finish when the formwork is removed . Vibration
A
shall be applied continuously during the placing of each batch of
concrete until the expulsion of air has practically ceased and in a
EJ

manner which does not promote segregation of the ingredients.

9.4.9.2 The concrete maintained between the two walls offormwork shall
M

be compacted by intemal or extemal vibrators. Concrete in slabs


with no formwork on its upper surface shall be compacted either
by vibrators of the pan type or by a vibrating screen.
EN

9.4.9.3 The internal vibrators shall be inserted and withdrawn slowly and
at a uniform pace of approximately 100mm per second.
Compaction shall be deemed to be completed when cement
M

mortar appears in an annulus around the vibrator. Over vibration ! •


leading to segregation of the mix must be avoided. The intemal V
KU

vibrators shall be inserted at points judged by the area of mortar


showing after compaction, with a certain allowance made for
overlapping and they shall not be allowed to come into contact with
the formwork or the reinforcement and shall be inserted at a
O

distance of not less than 75mm from the formwork.

9.4.9.4 The pan vibrator shall be placed on the surface of the concrete,
D

which shall have previously been tamped and leveled leaving an


allowance in height for compaction until the cement mortar
appears under the pan. The vibrator shall then be lifted and placed
on the adjoining surface and this operation shall be repeated until
the whole surface has been compacted. Alternatively, a vibrating
screen spanning the full width of the surface may also be used.

9.4.9.5 Whenever vibration has to be applied externally, the design of


formwork and disposition of vibration shall receive special
consideration to ensure efficient compaction and to avoid surface
blemishes. The vibration shall be such that there will be no excess
water on the top surface on completion of cornpaction.
89-19
(JKRlSPJ/2018-S9)

9.4.9.6 Extemal vibrators shall be firmly secured to the formwork which


must be sufficiently rigid to transmit the vibration and strong
enough not to be damaged by it. Intemal vibrators shall be capable
of operating at not less than 10,000 cycles per minute and extemal
vibrators at not less than 3,000 cycles per minute. Sufficient
vibrators in serviceable condition shall be on Site so that spare
equipment is always available in the event of breakdowns.
Vibrators shall be operated by workmen skilled in their use.

9.4.9.7 Concrete shall not be subjected to any disturbance within 24


hours after compaction. No standing or flowing water shall be

ER
allowed to come into contact with exposed concrete surfaces
during the first two (2) hours after placing and compaction of the
concrete.

D
9.4.9.8 In the event where inadequate or improper compaction is
suspected, the S.O. has the right to inspect and to carry out further

N
tests. The tests may include non-destructive and destructive
methods. All expenses incurred in carrying out such sampling,

TE
testing and remedial works shall be bome by the Contractor
irrespective of whether the tests prove the structure to be sound or
otherwise.
A
9.4.10 Curing and Protection
EJ

all concrete works to avoid premature drying out or any shrinkage
type of cracks and shall be cured for the full period of curing which
M

shall not be less than five (5) days for F1, F2, F3 and F4 surfaces,
and not less than three (3) days for F11, F12, F13, F14 and F15
surfaces.
EN

9.4.10.2 Curing and protection shall start immediately after compaction of


the concrete to protect it from:

u
M

(i) Impact damage such as shock, overloading or falling


earth which may disrupt the concrete and its bonding
interface with the reinforcements.
KU

(ii) Premature drying out from direct sunlight and wind.

(iii) Leaching out by rain and flowing water.


O

(iv) High intemal thermal gradients.


D

9.4.10.3 Normal curing and protection

Concrete, after it is placed and until the expiration of the curing


duration, shall not be allowed to dry out. Provision shall be made
for adequate protection against direct sunlight and wind to allow
the process of curing to complete within the specified period.

Curing and protection shall be accomplished by covering the


exposed concrete surface with an impermeable material such as
polyethylene sheet, which should be well sealed and fastened and
if required, this treatment can be continued efficiently throughout
the whole period of curing.
S9-20
(JKRlSPJ/2018-S9)

When the concrete has attained its final set, one of the following
curing methods shall be adopted:

(i) Water curing shall be accomplished by keeping the surface


of the concrete continuously wet by ponding with water.

(ii) Curing may be accomplished by sealing in the water as


specified above by covering with an approved waterproofed
curing paper or plastic sheeting laid with airtight jOints. It
must be securely positioned to prevent displacement by wind
and protected from tear or other damage.

ER
The use of other methods of curing may be deemed necessary
when the concrete is subjected to high internal thermal gradient, or
with large exposed surface area. The Contractor shall submit a

D
method statement to the approval of the S.O.

N
In the event where the Contractor fails to do proper curing, the
S.O. has the right to inspect and to carry out further tests which

TE
may include destructive methods. All expenses incurred in carrying
out such sampling, testing and remedial works shall be borne by
the Contractor irrespective of whether the tests proved the
structure to be sound or otherwise.
A
9.4.10.4 Accelerated curing
EJ

Elevated temperature curing may be used only with CEM I Cement


and subjected to the approval of the S.O.
M

Curing can only be started 4 hours (hrs) after completion of the


placing of concrete, unless the Contractor is able to prove that
curing can start earlier by furnishing all the relevant supporting data
EN

to the S.O. The rise in temperature within any period of 30 minutes


shall not exceed 10·C and maximum temperature attained shall
not exceed 70·C unless it can be proven that any deviation from
this provision shall not result in any detrimental effect to the
M

concrete works. The rate of subsequent cooling shall not exceed


the rate of heating. The total accelerated curing time shall not
KU

cause any detrimental effect to the concrete as approved by the


S.O. The use of accelerated curing methods for concrete with
CEM I in accordance to MS EN 197-1 or concrete containing other
types of any admixture or any additional shall be to the approval

9.5.3 Construction Joints

9.5.3.1 Construction joints shall be made at the location as shown on the


Drawings and concreting work shall be carried out continuously
up to the construction joints. If the position and detail of any
construction joints is not described in the drawings, the Contractor
shall propose and obtain the approval of the S.O. prior to
commencement of concreting . The construction joints shall be
made as few as possible with reasonable precautions against
shrinkage. The joints shall be at right angles to the general
direction of the member and shall take due account of shear and

S9-24
(JKRlSPJ/2018-S9)

other stresses.

9.5.3.2 Concrete shall not be allowed to run to a feather edge and vertical
joints shall be formed against a stop end. The top surface of a
layer of concrete shall be level and flat unless design
considerations make this undesirable. Joint lines shall be so
arranged that they coincide with features of the finished work,
wherever possible.

9.5.3.3 At horizontal construction joints, gauge strips 0 f about 25mm


width shall be placed inside the forms along all exposed

ER
surfaces to ensure a straight joint on those surfaces. Where a
kicker (that is a starter stub) is used for the construction of walls
and columns, it shall be at least 75mm high, to be constructed
monolithically with the base concrete.

D
9.5.3.4 Where vertical construction joints are necessary in mass
concrete structures, reinforcing bars shall be placed across the

N
joints so as to make the structure monolithic, all to the approval of
the S.O.

TE
9.5.3.5 Prior to recommencement of concreting on a joint, action is to be
taken so as to ensure that the surface of the concrete, against
which new concrete will be cast, shall be free from laitance and
A
shall be roughened to the extent that the coarse aggregate is
exposed but not disturbed. Care shall be taken to avoid damaging
EJ

the lines of the joint. Care shall also be taken so that the joint
surface is clean and damp but not wet and the exposed adjoining
surfaces shall be of consistent colour. Immediately before the
M

fresh concrete is placed against the joint, fresh rich cement mortar
(1 :2) shall first be applied to the exposed surface.
EN

9.5.3.6 Where the S.O. considers that special preparation is necessary,


e.g. for an in-situ structural connection, preparation shall be
carried out, preferably when the concrete has set but not
M

hardened, by spraying with a fine spray of air and water or


brushing with a stiff brush sufficiently to remove the outer mortar
skin and expose the larger aggregates without disturbing them.
KU

Where this treatment is impracticable, sand blasting or a needle


gun shall be used to remove the surface skin and laitance.
Hardened surfaces shall be chipped manually or mechanically to
O

free them from laitance and properly roughened to the extent that
the coarse aggregates are being exposed.

and to obtain the approval of the S.O. before incorporating such
works prior to the concrete being placed.

9.5.4.2 Bolts and other inserts to be cast into the concrete shall be
securely fixed to the formwork in such a way that they are not
displaced during the concreting operations and that there is no
S9-25
(JKRlSPJ/2018-S9)

loss of materials from the wet concrete through holes in the


formwork.

9.5.4.3 Unless otherwise shown on the Drawings or instructed by the


S .O., reinforcement shall be locally moved so that the minimum
specified cover is maintained at the locations of inserts, holes,
chases, etc. In the event where the minimum cover cannot be
maintained, the Contractor shall take all necessary precautions
to protect the reinforcements against corrosion by applying
approved coating materials to the reinforcements and the
concrete cover.

permanent structure joints shall be provided in the required

TE
positions and constructed and sealed with waterproofing materials
as detailed in the Drawings.

9.5.5.2 When forming movement joints, joint filler shall be fixed firmly
A
to the first-placed concrete. If more than one strip is used within
a joint, it is essential to butt the ends tightly or tape them together
EJ

to prevent grout leakage and restricting the closure of the jOint.

9.5.5.3 It is essential that the concrete on both sides of the jOint, when
M

placed, is thoroughly compacted to form a dense uniform mass.


Where stop ends comprise more than one element, particular care
is necessary to ensure that joints between elements are
EN

sufficiently tight to allow no grout loss through them during


compaction of the concrete.

9.5.5.4 Where flexible water stops are used, they shall be fixed so as to
M

ensure that they are not displaced from their intended position
during compaction of the concrete and that the concrete
surrounding them is fully compacted. The design of the water stop
KU

should be practical and take account of the problems often


associated with integral water stop construction in difficult placing
conditions.
O

9.5.5.5 Water stops laid horizontally and located within the concrete
mass shall be avoided since they attract the greatest risk of local
D

honeycombing.

9.5.5.6 Unless otherwise shown on the Drawings, all exposed


expansion joints interface to structure components shall be
covered with O.7mm thick aluminium cover strips fixed with
masonry nails at 300mm centers.

9.5.5.7 Polystyrene foam shall not be used as the filler material to form
the joints between any elements of the structures unless
approved and advised otherwise by the S .O.

TE
10.3.5.2 Preparation at Test Level

Notice of Excavation
A
The Contractor shall give at least 48 hours' prior notice of
commencement of excavation of the specified location to be
EJ
tested.

Method of Excavation
M

(i) Excavation to the test level shall commence as quickly as


practicable to minimize the effects of stress relief, particularly
when in cohesive soils. Temporary ground support shall be
EN

installed as and when necessary. Where the test is to be


carried out below the groundwater level in permeable
ground, the equipment for lowering the water level shall be
installed and water level shall be lowered before the
M

excavation reaches the water table in order to prevent


) ground disturbance.
KU

(ii) All loose materials and any embedded fragments shall be


removed so that the area for the plate is generally level and
as undisturbed as possible. For uneven surface, place a
O

layer of sand, nowhere exceeding 100mm in thickness to


obtain a level soil surface. The depth of the test area should
D

be the same as the foundation depth of the structure to be


built on site.

Supervision
(i) The setting up of plate bearing test equipment shall be
carried out under competent supervision and the equipment
shall be checked to ensure that the setting-up is satisfactory
before the commencement of load test.

(ii) All tests shall be carried out only under the direction of an

S10-4

testing processes shall be kept at a sufficient distance from the
test location to avoid disturbance due to any unavoidable activity
and its effects.
A
10.3.5.4 Method of Loading
EJ

Test Load
The test load shall be applied in one (1) of the following ways:
M

(i) By means of a jack which obtains its reaction from the load
heavier than the required load such as concrete blocks,
EN

water in tanks or others;

(ii) By means of a jack which obtains its reaction from tension


piles or other suitable anchors.
M

In all cases, the reaction load or its supports shall be placed J


KU

sufficiently far from the proposed test position to reduce the


influence on the results to a tolerable level. Care shall be taken
to ensure that the reaction load remains stable throughout the
test without the possibility of load tilting or collapsing.
O

In addition to the reaction load, it shall be necessary to provide a


D

loading frame, a bearing plate, a loading column and a hydraulic


jack or other appropriate type of load measuring device. The
loading column shall be of sufficient strength to prevent undue
buckling under the maximum load. The total weight of the
kentledge or reaction force provided shall be at least 1.2 times
the maximum test load.

S10-5
(JKRlSPJ/2019-S10)

In all cases the Contractor shall ensure that when the hydraulic
jack and load measuring device are mounted on the loading
column, the entire system shall be stable up to the maximum load
to be applied. If in the course of carrying out a test, any
unforeseen occurrence should take place, further loading shall
not be applied until a proper engineering assessment of the
prevailing conditions has been made and steps taken to rectify
any fault.

Where an inadequacy in any part of the system might constitute

ER
a hazard, means shall be provided to enable the test to be
controlled from a position clear of the kentledge stack or test
frame.

D
The hydraulic jack, pump, hoses, pipes, couplings and other
apparatus to be operated under hydraulic pressure shall be

N
capable to withstand a pressure of 1.5 times the maximum
pressure used in the test without leaking. Test certificate shall be

TE
submitted before carrying the test.

The maximum test load expressed as a reading on the gauge in


use shall be displayed and all operators shall be made aware of
A
this limit.
EJ

When method (i) is used, care shall be taken to ensure that the
centre of gravity of the kentledge is on the axis of the loading
column . The longitudinal axis of the loading column and the
M

centre of the bearing plate shall coincide, and the contact shall
be such that any tendency for the plate to tilt is resisted.
EN

When method (ii) is used, all anchor piles shall be at a distance


of at least three (3) times the bearing plate diameter from the
centre of the plate.
M

If the anchor piles are to be permanent working piles, their levels


) shall be observed during application of the test load to ensure no
KU

residual uplift occurs.

Altematively, the Contractor may propose the use of other types,


patented or otherwise, in which case the requirements as below
O

shall be fully complied with .


D

Contractor's Load Test System

The Contractor may propose to use other different types from


those specified. The proposal shall be submitted to the S.O. at
least 90 days before the date of testing . The suitability or
adequacy of any system shall be determined by the S.O. In the
event that the testing system proposed by the Contractor is
acceptable, the Contractor shall obtain a Professional Engineer's
endorsement on the load settlement results.

S10-6
(JKRlSPJ/2019-S10)

Deformation Measurement System


The deformation measurement components of the test apparatus
shall be made to the required accuracy. Where a dial gauge or
other measuring device is used on the plate, a reference beam
may serve as the datum. At least four (4) dial gauges or other
measuring devices are to be used for measuring the
displacement. All settlement devices shall be readable to 0.01
mm. In addition, the levelling equipment shall be readable to 0.1
mm and placed at stable datum when specified. The levelling

ER
staff shall have a bubble attached to it so that the verticality of
the staff can be checked.

10.3.5.5 Testing Procedure

D
General

N
Prior to the performance of any load test, the Contractor shall

TE
submit to the S.O. for his approval, Work Drawings showing the
method and equipment he proposes to use in the performance of
the load test and the measurement of settlements.

Maintained Load Test


A
The Maintained Load Test shall be carried out as follows:
EJ

(i) The Full Test Load (FTL) on a tested ground shall be three
(3) times that of the Allowable Bearing Capacity specified
M

on the Drawings.

(ii) The test shall be carried out in three (3) cycles with first
EN

cycle test up to working load, second cycle test up to twice


the Allowable Bearing Capacity and third cycle test up to
full test load .
M

(iii) The load shall be applied in increments of 20% of the


working load, up to the working load and appropriately
smaller thereafter, until a maximum test load is reached .
KU

Each increment of load shall be applied as smoothly and


as expeditiously as possible. Settlement readings and time
observations shall be taken before and after each new load
O

increment.

(iv) Settlement reading shall be taken for every 3 minutes. A


D

time-settlement graph shall be plotted to indicate when the


rate of settlement of 0.05 mm per minute is reached. A
further increment of load shall be applied when this rate of
settlement is achieved, or until a minimum time of 15
minutes has elapsed, whichever is later. The process shall
be repeated until the maximum test load is reached .

(v) The maximum test load shall then be maintained for a


minimum of 2 hours, and time-settlement readings shall be
taken at regular intervals, as for the earlier load stages.

S10-7
(JKRl8PJ/2019-810)

(vi) The test load shall then be decreased in four (4) equal
stages, and time-settlement readings shall be as specified
a foresaid , until the movement ceases. At least 15 minutes
interval shall be allowed between the unloading
decrements.

(vii) During testing, if the result from each dial gauge or other
measuring devices differ by more than 20%, the Contractor
shall release the load and recheck the arrangement of the
load cell and redo the load test.

ER
(viii) Settlement readings shall be made immediately after and
before every load increment is applied or removed .

510-12
(JKRlSPJ/2019-S10)

10.5.5 Installation of Precast Reinforced Concrete Piles

10.5.5.1 Pitching of Piles

Piles shall be pitched accurately in the positions as shown on the


Drawings. At all stages during driving and until the pile has set or
been installed to the required length, all exposed piles shall be
adequately supported and restrained by means of leaders,
trestles, temporary supports or other guide arrangements to
maintain position and alignment and to prevent buckling and

ER
damage to the piles.

10.5.5.2 Driving of Piles

D
Each pile shall be installed continuously until the specified set
and/or depth has been reached , unless otherwise approved by

N
the S.O. The installation equipment used shall be of such type
and capacity to the approval of the S.O. A follower (long dolly)

TE
shall not be used unless approved by S.O., subject to the
following requirements:

(i) The first pile in each pile system and every tenth pile driven
A
thereafter shall be driven full length, without a follower, to
verify that adequate pile length is being attained to develop
EJ

the desired pile capacity.


(ii) The follower and pile shall be held and maintained in equal
and proper alignment during driving;
M

(iii) The follower shall be of such material and dimension to


permit the piles to be driven to the length determined
necessary from the driving of the full-length piles;
EN

(iv) The final position and alignment of the first two (2) piles
installed with follower in each substructure unit shall be
verified to be in accordance with the location tolerances
specified in Sub-section 10.2.1 before additional piles are
M

installed.

Follower shall not be used in driving of raked pile.


KU

A detailed record of the driving resistance over the full length of


each pile shall be kept. The log shall record the number of blows
O

for every 0.3 m of pile penetration. The Contractor shall inform


the S.O. without delay if an unexpected change in driving
characteristics is encountered. Where required by the S.O. set
D

shall be taken at approved intervals during the driving to establish


the behaviour of the piles.

A set shall be taken only in the presence of the S.O. unless


otherwise approved. The Contractor shall provide all facilities to
enable the S.O. to check driving resistances. The final set of a
pile other than as friction pile, shall be recorded as the
penetration in millimetres per 10 blows. The temporary
compression of the pile shall be recorded if required .

S10-13
(JKRlSPJ/2019-S10)

When a set is being measured, the following requirements shall


be met:

(i) The pile shall be in good condition, without damage or


distortion;
(ii) The hammer blow shall be in line with the axis of the pile and
the impact surface shall be flat and perpendicular to the
hammer axis;
(iii) The hammer shall be in good condition , delivering the
required energy per blow and operating correctly;

ER
(iv) The rebound shall be measured and recorded accordingly.

When an acceptable resistance or set appears to have been

D
reached, the driving of pile should be suspended for an interval
sufficient to permit the soil to recover from the disturbance of pile

N
driving, and then resumed to determine whether there is any
(j increase or decrease in resistance.

TE
In soils that dilate when disturbed e.g. silts and some shales,
negative pore pressure can be set up temporarily and the driving
resistance may fall as these pore pressure returns to normal. In
clays disturbance can cause positive pore pressure to develop
A
and the strength of the soil may increase as these dissipate. The
necessary time interval before redriving may vary from one (1)
EJ

hour to two (2) hours for non-cohesive soils or two (2) days or
more for clays.
M

The resistance at the start of red riving is more likely to be


representative of the true bearing value of the pile, and each
red riving result should be taken into consideration when deciding
EN

the pile penetration length.

Piles shall be driven in an approved sequence to minimise the


detrimental effects of heave and lateral displacement of the
M

ground. When required, careful levelling from a datum unaffected


\ ) by the piling shall be made on the pile heads already driven,
KU

before and after driving subsequent piles. Piles which have been
displaced vertically by more than 3 mm as a result of driving
adjacent piles shall be red riven to the required resistance.
O

10.5.5.3 Repair of Damaged Pile Heads


D

If a pile is to be subjected to further driving, concrete in the


damaged pile head shall be cut off square at sound concrete,
and all loose particles shall be removed by wire brushing,
followed by washing with water. Care shall be exercised to
ensure that the reinforcement in the pile head is not in any way
damaged. Any damaged reinforcement shall be made good to
the satisfaction of the S.O. The head shall be replaced with
concrete of similar grade or higher.

The new head shall be cast truly in line with the remainder of the
pile and be properly cured and allowed to harden sufficiently to

S10-14
(JKRlSPJ/2019-S10)

develop the strength necessary for further driving. If a pile has


been driven to the required set or depth but the level of sound
concrete of the pile is below cut-off level, the pile shall be made
good to the cut-off level as described above so that the
completed foundation will safely withstand the specified ultimate
load.

10.5.5.4 Lengthening of Piles

Where piles have to be lengthened, other than by means of


welding of steel plates as detailed on the Drawings, the

ER
reinforcement shall be stripped of all surrounding concrete for a
distance equal to forty (40) times the diameter of the main
reinforcement measured from the pile head for spliced joints and

D
300 mm for butt welded joints and all lateral reinforcement shall
be removed .

N
The new concrete shall be of the same grade or higher as the

TE
original concrete on pile and shall be adequately compacted .

The lengthening bars shall butt on the exposed bars in true


alignment and shall be butt welded as specified or shall be

concrete as specified hereinbefore. The old concrete shall be
M

adequately roughened , and all loose particles shall be removed


by wire brushing, followed by washing with clean water. The
KU

extension shall be truly in line at all stages of handling and driving


with the remainder of the pile and be properly cured and allowed
to harden sufficiently to develop the strength necessary for
further driving.
O

10.5.5.5 Pile Joint


D

The bending strength test of pile joint shall be done for laterally
loaded pile only to determine the bending capacity at each
respective joint. The test shall be done as in 10.5.5.7 provided
that the joint is positioned at the centre of the span. The bending
capacity at the pile joint shall be greater than the bending
capacity of the pile body by 10%. The result shall be submitted

Bending Strength for Precast Concrete Piles


Pile Body Strength Test

General
Bending strength test on the pile body shall be done to determine the ability of the pile to
withstand the cracking bending moment (Mc) and the ultimate bending strength (Mu). The
bending strength test of pile body shall be made by the application of vertical load P to the
centre of the span. on the pile laid on two (2) supports which has a span equal to 3/5 of its
length.

ER
The applied bending moment shall be calculated from the following equation: -

M= _1

Where.

N
M is the applied bending moment (kNm);

EJ

The pile shall be designed to withstand the cracking bending moment calculated based on the
maximum allowable crack width as shown in TABLE 1. The pile is considered to have passed
the requirement to withstand the cracking bending moment if when subjected to a test load
M

equal to the cracking load (Pc) corresponding to the appropriate Me. no crack exceeding the
values in TABLE 1 occurs. The calculated values of Me are given in TABLE 2. TABLE 3 and

Testing

Apparatus setup
The pile manufacturer shall design and fabricate a suitable set-up for carrying out the bend
test. The test shall be carried out using any suitable equipment of sufficient capacity and
capable of applying the loads continuously and vertically.
The loading arrangement and the device for applying the loads shall consist of two supporting
rollers and two load-applying rollers as in Figure 1.
All rollers shall be manufactured from steel and shall have a circular cross-section with a

ER
diameter of 20 mm to 120 mm; the rollers shall be at least 20 mm longer than the width of the
test specimen . All rollers except one shall be capable of rotating around their axes and of being
inclined in a plane normal to the longitudinal axis of the test specimen. All rollers shall be
adjusted in their correct positions with all distances having an accuracy of ± 5 mm. Suitable

D
safety precaution should be taken to ensure that the rollers do not fall off while adjustment is
made and during the testing.

If the equipment is not equipped with a device to maintain, automatically, the specified rate of
increase of load on the specimen, a load pacer shall be fitted or alternatively the control shall
D

be done by manual method to ensure the rate of loading as described in the paragraph above
is complied . If the pacer has a scale, this scale shall be basically linear such that 1 mm
represents not more than 100 N/s. Over the operating range of the scale the accuracy shall be
within ± 5 %.
NOTE. The pacer may incorporate a scale with an indicator or alternatively, it may be, for
example, a marked disc or pointer, which rotates at the rate at which, the load pointer should
move on the load scale being used. If the pacer is fitted with a variable speed control or has
preset speeds, then once the variable speed control has been set, or preset speed has been
chosen, the pacer speed shall remain within ± 5 % of the specified speed over the operating
range. Alternatively if the rate of loading is controlled manually then the manufacturer shall
prepare the table of loading application against time.
S10-70
(JKRl8PJ/2019-S10)

Load scale indicators or digital displays


The equipment shall be provided with either: -
a) Easily read dials or scales; or
b) Electrical load indicators, which shall include a visual display.
These load scale indicators or digital displays shall be calibrated by an accredited laboratory.
Test specimens
Test specimens shall be selected randomly from piles casted and results shall be properly

ER
documented for inspection. The number of piles to be sampled is to be decided in accordance
with the agreement between the parties concerned.
Procedure

D
1. Prior to testing, select a suitable load and time increment for a selected loading rate for
particular hydraulic equipment such that it will facilitate inspection of the pile at the calculated

N
crack load and at the required minimum ultimate load .
2. Check the specimens thoroughly for initial crack before testing. Wipe clean the bearing

TE
surfaces of the supporting and loading rollers.
3. Place the test specimen on the support rollers, correctly centred with the longitudinal axis of
the specimen at right angles to the rollers. The trowelled surface direction shall be normal to
A
the direction of loading and the moulded surface is in tension (see Figure 1). The moulded
surface may not therefore be orientated with its position in the structure. For Spun piles, the
EJ
test specimen can be placed at any surface position. Do not use packing between the
specimen and the rollers.
4. Place the loading equipment and the load applying rollers correctly in the testing setup. Do
M

not begin to apply the load until all loading and supporting rollers are in even contact with the
test specimen.
EN

5. Apply the load steadily and without shock at a rate of (0.06 ± 0.04) N/mm2s . Choose the
lower loading rates for low strength concrete and the higher loading rates for high strength
concrete (i.e. for RC Piles, fcu more than 45 N/mm2) .
M

6. Once the loading rate has been adjusted , maintain the rate of loading without change until
the applied crack load (Pc) corresponding to crack moment (Mc) from the respective TABLES
2, 3 and 4 as shown below is reached. Then hold the load for a sufficient time to inspect the
KU

pile for possible cracking. If crack is present, it shall be checked by means of the test crack
measuring gauge and crack width and the location shall be recorded.
7. After step 5.6, continue the loading at the same uniform rate until failure occurs or when the
O

applied load is slightly greater than the minimum ultimate load (Pmin-u), whichever comes first.
The minimum ultimate load (Pmin-u) is a value corresponding to the value of Mc multiplied by
D

the factor ffrom the respective TABLES 10A-2,10A-3 and 10A-4 as shown below.
8. If pile failure comes first, the test specimen is considered fail. Record the maximum load
(Pmax) applied. Pmax is the maximum applied load (kN), if and when pile failure occurs during
the bend test.
9. If the pile does not fail, and when the applied load is slightly greater than Pmin-u is reached,
then hold the load for sufficient time to allow for inspection of pile body for cracking. If crack is
present, it shall be checked by means of the test crack-measuring gauge and crack width and
location shall be recorded.

810-71
(JKRlSPJ/2019-S10)

10. For record purposes, record all the deflection oftest specimen shown by dial gauge during
loading and unloading.

FOREWORD
As practices in road construction change over time, it is imperative for Jabatan Ke~a
Raya (JKR) to continuously update and improve their standard specifications. These
new specifications are not only aimed at keeping abreast with current technologies but
also to help improve the quality of construction works and its final product.
Consequently, these new specifications will ultimately have a significant positive impact
on the construction industry especially with the incorporation of new products and
technologies.
The JKR Standard Specification for Road Works is an essential component in the road

ER
infrastructure construction industry. This Specification provides an improved guidance in
the material selection and quality control of workmanship and products, based on
current best practices. The purpose of the JKR Standard Specification is to establish

D
uniformity in road construction to be used by road designers, road authorities,
manufacturers and suppliers of road related products.

N
This particular document, the "Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 11:

TE
Prestressing for Structures", is a part of a series of improved specifications in the JKR
Standard Specification for Road Works. The compilation of this document was carried
out through many discussions that had been held by the technical committee. The draft
had also been presented and discussed at length in a specially held workshop to get
A
feedback and comments from relevant parties involved, which were then carefully
considered and incorporated into the Specification wherever appropriate or necessary.
EJ

The Specification has also gone through the different phases of vetting and approval
before the production of its final draft and printed copy. It will be reviewed and updated
M

from time to time to cater for any changes in policies and the inclusion of current
requirements, if necessary. Any feedback or improvement to be considered for future
revisions should be forwarded to Sahagian Pembangunan Inovasi & Standard,

11.6.4 Pre-tensioning
Where pre-tensioning methods are used, the tension force in the strands
or wires shall be fully maintained by some positive means during the
period between tensioning and transfer. When concrete has reached the
age at which tests cubes taken from it had attained the specific transfer
strength, the stress shall be transferred gradually, without severance of
the strands or wires, to minimise shock. The tendon or strands shall be
protected against rust by applying neat epoxy resin of a suitable quality
or an epoxy mortar to the ends of the tendons or strands. The method of

ER
application and the thickness of the protective coating shall be to the
satisfaction of the S.O.
Provisions for the two types of tendon alignments are as follows:-

D
(i) Straight tendons
In the long-line method of pretensioning, sufficient locator plates

N
shall be distributed throughout the length of the bed to ensure that

TE
the wires or strands are maintained in their proper position during
concreting. Where a number of units are made in line, they shall be
free to slide in the direction of their length and thus permit transfer
of the prestressing force to the concrete along the whole line.
A
In the individual mould system, the moulds shall be sufficiently rigid
EJ
so as to provide the reaction to the prestressing force without
distortion.
M

(ii) Deflected tendons


Where possible, the mechanisms for holding down or holding up
EN

tendons shall ensure that the part in contact with the tendons is free
to move in the line of the tendon so that frictional losses are
nullified. If, however, a system is used that develops a frictional
M

force, this force shall be determined by test and due allowance


made.
KU

For single tendon, the deflector in contact with the tendon shall
have a radius of not less than 5 times the tendon diameter for wire
or 10 times the tendon diameter for strand, and the total angle of
O

deflection shall not exceed 15°.


The transfer of the prestressing force to the concrete shall be
D

effected in conjunction with the release of hold-down and hold-up


forces as approved by the S. O.

Sll-16
(JKRlSPJ/2016-S11)

11.6.4.1 Tensioning Procedure


The method of tensioning shall ensure that the required force is
applied to all tendons especially where more than one tendon is
tensioned in a single operation.
The force shall be measured by means of jack pressure gauge
readings, or by approved load cells, and shall be checked against
the measured extensions of the tendons.
The initial force applied to the tendon to take up the slack shall

ER
not exceed 5% of the minimum breaking load of the tendon.
The S.O. shall be notified in the case where the jacking force and
elongation values are different by more than 5% than the design

D
values. In such a case, the S.O. shall be advised before any
concrete is cast and tendons shall be retested with the calibrated

N
equipment or as instructed by the S.O.
n

TE
Every endeavour shall be made to obtain the required net force. A
tolerance of ±5% in elongation shall then be permitted for
individual tendons provided that the member as a whole is within
±2% of the required mean value. Non-compliance of this
A
requirement willi result in the Contractor having to justify by
means of additional calculation or related information and to be
EJ

submitted to the S.O. for acceptance and approval.


Tendons shall be located as shown in the drawings and suitable
M

devices shall be provided to ensure that the correct positioning of


the tendons is maintained during casting. When tendons are
being placed, particular care shall be taken that the tendons do
EN

not come into contact with the oiled surface of the forms or
otherwise be soiled. Any tendons so soiled shall be cleaned with
the methods approved by the S.O.
M

In the case of a slip occurs to any of the tendon within a group of


tendon, the tensioning of that particular group shall be de-
KU

tensioned, reset and shall be re-tensioned again. The Contractor


shall completely replace any tendon that are broken during the
tensioning process. For the breakage of individual tendon in a
O

group of tendons, the process shall be repeated as in the case of


a slip.
D

The prestressing force shall be transferred from the tensioning


jack to the abutment of the stressing bed immediately after the
required force has been reached and the pressure in the jack
shall be relaxed before any other operation is commenced.
Stressing shall be carried out at a smooth and even rate. The
maximum permitted loads in the tendons will not normally be
more than 80% the characteristic tensile strength but the actual
tension to be applied shall , in all cases, be as agreed with the
S.O.

Sll-17
(JKRlSPJ/2016-S11 )

The prestressing tendons shall not be released until the concrete


has attained the specified compressive strength at transfer as
proved by the appropriate test cube under similar condition as the
member being stressed.
The test cubes shall be made and tested in accordance with in
Section 9: of this Specification and shall be cured under similar
conditions as the concrete to which they are related .
Notwithstanding this, compressive strength tests shall be carried
out during the progress of Work. The rate of sampling shall be as

ER
specified in Section 9: of this Specification. Non-compliance of
the concrete strength requirement will result in the tensioning
process at transfer to be delayed or the particular member to be

D
discarded, subjected to the instruction of S.O.
Prior to transfer of the prestressing force from the abutments of

N
the casting bed to the members, all tendons shall be tested for

TE
tightness and any loose tendons found shall be reported to the
S.O. for approval. All tendonsshall be marked at each end of
every member so as to check the extension.
In the case of members which have been steam cured the
A
prestress shall be transferred while the member is still warm and
EJ
moist.
The procedure of release shall be continuous and the prestress
shall be transferred to the members in such a manner that the
M

tendons are released gradually and simultaneously.


Large differences of tension between the tendons or strands shall
EN

be avoided. No shock release of stress is to occur during de-


tensioning operations. De-tensioning equipment used shall have
adequate capacity to completely release all tendons strands in
M

one operation.
If the tension is released from one end only or if there are several U
KU

moulds in line, provision shall be made for the members to slide,


allowing a transfer of the force all along the tensioned line.
Where there are several moulds in line, cutting strand between
O

members shall proceed after de-tensioning in sequence from the


de-tensioned end.
D

If shock release of stress occurs due to any cause, members


adjacent to the shock-released strand may be rejected by the
S.O.
All tendons shall be cut off and ground flush with the concrete
surface. The system of cutting off the tendons shall be subjected
to the approval of the S.O. The tendons shall be protected
against rust by applying neat epoxy resin of a suitable quality or
an epoxy mortar to the ends of tendons. The method of

Sll-18
(JKRlSPJ/2016-S11)

application and the thickness of the protective coating shall be to


the satisfaction of the S.D .

11.6.5 Post-tensioning
The Contractor shall prepare, check and submit to the S.D. complete
detailed working or shop drawings and calculations or schedules
showing:
(i) Contractor's details of proposed manufacture and construction of

ER
prestressed member.

(ii) Proposed sequence of prestressing operations either for permanent

D
or temporary prestressing .

N
(iii) Dimensions and complete descriptions of all prestressing materials
n and devices, joints, bearings and anchorages not specified or

TE
detailed in the Contract.

(iv) Calculated eventual deflections, cambers and rotations of the


A
concrete due to the effects of prestress, elastic shortening, creep
and shrinkage in the concrete, strand relaxation, gravity and any
EJ

other effects.

No stressing shall be done without adequate prior notice being given to


M

the S.D. The Contractor shall prepare complete stressing schedules


describing the expected design elongation and jacking forces to be used
in tensioning and shall submit to the S.D. prior to commencing stressing.
EN

Under no circumstances shall the maximum jacking force exceed 80% of


the characteristic tensile strength of a tendon, or the rated capacity of the
jacking equipment used, whichever is the lesser. After the tendons have
M

been anchored, the stress exerted from the tensioning apparatus shall be
gradually decreased to avoid any shock to the tendons or the anchorage
KU

plate.
Where tendon are not stressed simultaneously, the use of spacers shall
O

be in accordance with the recommendations of the system manufacture


and approved by the S.D.
D

For deflected tendons, the tendon curvature shall, where possible, have
a radius of not less than 50 times the diameter of the tendon, and the
total angle of deflection shall not exceed 15'. Where the radius is less
than 50 times the diameter of the tendon and the angle deflection
exceeds 15', the loss of strength of the tendon shall be determined by
tests and due allowance made.
In the case of free or balanced cantilever Method, temporary stress bars
could be provided during segment erection prior to the installation of
permanent cantilever tendons . These bars shall not be removed upon

Sll-19
(JKRlSPJI2016-S11)

permanent stressing prior to the completion of the whole work or work


stage cycle. The removal of temporary prestressing can only be done if
a minimum factor of safety of 1.5 for the cantilever structure is
maintained. Removal of the temporary prestressing must be done with
the agreement of the S.O.
The Contractor shall be responsible for the safety of all personnel during
stressing and shall provide any safety equipment necessary in
accordance with OSHA:18001 .
All results and data relating to the tenSioning operations shall be

ER
recorded on the stressing records.

D
11.6.5.1 Tensioning Procedure
Tensioning shall be carried out only in the presence of the S.O.

N
Immediately before tensioning, the Contractor shall prove that

TE
all tendons are free to move in their sheaths or ducts and that
members are free to accommodate the horizontal and vertical
movements due to the application of prestress.
A
Concrete shall not be stressed until it has reached at least the
age at which two test cubes taken from it attain the transfer
EJ

strength as speCified in the Drawings and shall be at least 72


hours age or as directed by the S.O.
M

The test cubes shall be made and tested in accordance with


Section 9: Concrete of Standard Specification for Road Works
and shall be cured under similar conditions to the concrete to
EN

which they relate.


Notwithstanding this, compressive strength tests shall be
carried out during the progress of Work. The rate of sampling
M

shall be as in Section 9: Concrete of Standard Specification for


RoadWorks.
KU

Unless tendons are stressed at both ends, the wedges at the


dead ends, shall be checked for tightness when approximately
10% of the full prestressing load has been applied. The pull-in
O

of these wedges shall be measured at the same stages as the


stressing end extension is measured.
D

Grouting shall be done immediately after tenSioning, otherwise


all anchorage shall be sealed before grouting to prevent ingress
of water or moisture.

TE
11 .6.7 Tensioning
The Contractor shall establish the datum point for measuring extension
A
and jack pressure to the satisfaction of the S.O. The movement of the
EJ
jack ram will not be taken as the extension of the tendons.
The actual extension of tendons shall be extrapolated from zero to the
required jacking pressure to obtain the total extension of the tendons.
M

The order in which tendons shall be tensioned shall be in accordance


with the Drawings or as directed by the S.O.
EN

The Contractor shall provide the streSSing sequence and from which
ends of the member and submit them to the S .O. for approval. When
streSSing from one end only the pull-in at the end remote form the jack
M

shall be accurately measured and the appropriate allowance made in the


measured extension at the jacking end.
KU

The forces in the tendons shall be determined either by means of jack


pressure gauge reading or by approved load cells, and shall be checked
against the measured extensions of the tendons.
O

Reference shall be made to the manufacturer's load-extension curves to


D

determine the correct extension for each tendon, and the effect of the
tendon-friction, draw-in, jack and anchorage friction shall be taken into
account.
The Contractor shall informed the S.O. immediately, should he be unable
to obtain accurate agreement between jack loads and extensions and
shall make such necessary adjustments to the loads and/or extensions
as instructed by the S.O.

Sll-21
(JKRlSPJ/2016-S11)

If the friction losses or draw-in of the tendon at anchorage are higher


than the calculated or design values,it shall be rejected by the S.O.
After anchoring, the jack force shall be decreased gradually and evenly
without shock to the anchorage plate, tendons or concrete.
If it is necessary to crop the tendons to enable the ducts to be grouted,
this shall be delayed as long as practicable up to the time of grouting. In
all other cases, unless agreed otherwise by the S.O., tendons shall be
cropped prior to grouting works.

ER
Recesses' openings for cropped tendons shall be dressed in accordance
with the recommendations of anchorage proprietary system .
The Contractor shall keep full record of all tensioning operations

KU

All ducts shall be thoroughly cleaned by using compressed air.


O

11.6.9.1 Air Testing of Ducts before Grouting


The Contractor shall note that the air testing of ducts before
D

grouting is a critical activity. This test shall be carried out under


the supervision of a competent supervisor.
The Contractor shall determine the volume of air in the duct
before air testing by taking into account the intemal
dimensions of the duct and the space taken up by the tendon .
Any residual water in the duct shall be blown away with
compressed oil-free air.

Sll -22
(JKRlSPJ/2016-S11 )

The anchorage ends should be sealed, and each duct shall be


tested as follows:
(i) With all valves closed, the duct shall be pressurised at
the grout inlet with oil-free air to 0.25 MPa to confirm that
the installed system has sufficient integrity for grouting;
(ii) The pressure shall be held at 0.25 MPa for 30 seconds. A
sudden drop in pressure of more than 0.1 MPa, or a need
to continuously inject compressed air to maintain the
pressure system indicateds that the duct is not

ER
sufficiently sealed for grouting. As such, any leaks shall
be located and repaired and the test shall be repeated;
(iii) The pressure shall be reduced to 0.1 MPa;

D
(iv) The air source shall be locked off; and

N
(v) The air pressure loss over time shall be recorded .

M

thorough inspection shall be made for any evidence of


leakage from, or between ducts. Leakages shall be rectified
and the duct retested before grouting.
EN

The S.O. shall make an assessment of the entire duct to


detenmine whether grouting can proceed.
M

Where air testing detects leakage between two adjacent


ducts that cannot be practically rectified, both ducts shall be
KU

air tested as a single system and the two ducts shall be


grouted simultaneously with two lines controlled by individual
lock-off valves.
O

The temperature of freshly mixed grout shall not exceed


32°C. This maximum temperature can only be increased
D

provided trials demonstrate that the grout meets the fluidity


requirement in accordance with BS EN 445.
The ducts shall be completely filled with grout.

Additional 5 litres of grout at each vent shall be vented into a

D
clean receptacle and then discarded. The opening shall be
firmly closed . All vents shall be closed in a similar manner one

N
after another in the direction of the flow except that at

TE
intermediate crests the vents immediately downstream shall be
closed before their associated crest vent.
Grout vents at high points shall be reopened immediately after,
while the grout is still fluid, and any escape of air, water or
A
grout recorded and reported immediately to the S.O. A further
EJ
pumping of grout shall then be carried out to expel bleed water
and/or entrapped air. This shall be carried out with the vents
open one at a time sequentially in the direction of grouting and
M

a further 5 litres shall be vented at each open vent. A visual


inspection of the vented grout shall be carried out and, if there
is any doubt about its quality, bleed and fluidity testing shall be
EN

carried out immediately.


The injection tubes shall then be sealed off under pressure. A
pressure of 0.5 MPa shall be maintained for at least one
M

minute.
KU

The filled ducts shall not be subjected to shock or vibration,


construction traffic or similar loads until 24 hours after
completion of grouting.
O

When the grout has set, the grout vents shall be temporarily
reopened . If voids are apparent on inspecting vents at end
D

caps, the end caps shall be removed to demonstrate that they


are satisfactorily filled with grout. End caps that have been
removed shall then be replaced by end caps permanently
sealed against ingress of contaminants, and such sealing shall
be proven to the satisfaction of the S.O.
If the anchorage caps are removed, the Contractor shall
prepare and submit to the S.O. a report on such together with
photographic record clearly identifying the individual
anchorages.

S11-24
(JKRlSPJ/2016-S11)

If, in the opinion of the S.O., there is cause for doubt that the
ducts or any part of the system are not satisfactorily filled with
grout, the S.O. may require investigations to be carried out.
Grout vents shall be positively sealed to be waterproof on
completion of grouting by a means separate from the concrete
waterproofing .
If there is any blockage or breakdown or if the grout injection is
interrupted, the duct shall immediately be thoroughly washed
with clean water and blown dry with oil-free compressed air;

ER
regrouting shall start as soon as practicable.
As soon as possible within one month after grouting
operations, the anchorage and the anchor plate or blister shall

D
be thoroughly cleaned by abrasive blasting and the contact

N
surfaces of the anchorage and anchorage recess shall be
( ) coated with a wet or dry epoxy adhesive.

TE
Non-shrink grout shall be used to patch up the recesses to
avoid shrinkage cracks from occurring at the affected area.
Where there are blockages, the Contractor shall carry out

accordance with BS EN 1992-2:2005.
The testing of concrete specimens to establish whether the concrete
used in the structure complies with the specification for structural

D
materials as described in Section 9 of the Standard Specification for
Road Works.

N
t ') If the quality of the concrete is shown to be inadequate by the results of

TE
these check tests, or shows other defects, a loading test may be required
by the S.O., and should then be carried out by the Contractor in
accordance with 11 .7.8 in this section.
A
EJ
11 .7.7.1 Types of Tests
(i) Surface Finish
M

Inspect the surface of the concrete for defects, for


conformity with the specification and, where appropriate, for
comparison with approved sample finishes. The making
EN

good of surface defects may be permitted, but the standard


of acceptance should be appropriate to the type and quality
of the finish specified and should ensure satisfactory
M

permanence and durability and is subjected to the strength


and durability of the concrete being unimpaired. Great care
KU

is essential in the selection of the mix proportions to ensure


that the final colour of the faced area blends with the parent
concrete in the finished structure on permanently exposed
surfaces.
O

(ii) Rebound Hammer Test


D

If a rebound hammer is used regularly by a trained


personnel and if continuously maintained individual charts
that show; for a large number of readings, the relation
between the readings and the strength of cubes made from
the same batch of concrete, are kept, an approximate
indication of the strength of the concrete in a structure or
element may be obtained by using such charts in
conjunction with hammer readings . When used by a trained
personnel in these circumstances, the expected degree
accuracy is within ± 3 MPa.

S11-33
(JKRlSPJ/2016-S11)

When making rebound hammer tests, each result should be


the average of at least nine individual readings. Do not take
readings within 25 mm of the edge of concrete members.
Clearly distinguish readings taken on a trowelled face and
those taken on a moulded face. Take special care to firmly
bed them against the impact of the hammer, when making
the test on precast units.
(iii) Electromagnetic Cover Measuring Devices
Verification of the position of reinforcement or tendons to

ER
depths of about 70 mm may be done by an electromagnetic
cover measuring device in accordance with the
recommendations of BS 4408-1.

D
(iv) Gamma Radiography

N
To test concrete up to 450mm thick for the presence of local
voids in the concrete and the efficiency of the grouting of

TE
ducts in prestressed members, gamma radiography may be
used. It may also be used to determine the presence and
location of any embedded metal. Special precautions are
necessary to avoid contamination from the radioactive
A
source. Carry out the testing in accordance with the
EJ
recommendations in BS 4408: Part 3.
(v) COring Test
M

The drilling and testing of core samples from the concrete


must comply to the procedure requirements of BS 1881:
Part 4.,in circumstances where the compressive strength of
EN

the concrete in the structure may need to be assessed. To


investigate the presence of voids in the compacted
concrete, such cores may also be cut. Whenever possible,
M

reinforcement should be avoided when core cutting.


KU

11 .7.8 Load Tests of Structures or Parts of Structures


The tests described in this clause are intended as a check on structures
O

other than those covered by clause 11.7.7.1, where there is doubt


regarding serviceability or strength. Test loads are to be applied and
D

removed incrementally.
The test should be carried out as soon as possible after the expiry of 28
days from the time of placing the concrete. When the test is for a reason
other than that the quality of the concrete in the structure being in doubt,
the test may be carried out earlier provided that the concrete has already
reached its specified characteristic strength.
When testing prestressed concrete, allowance should be made for the
effect of prestress at the time of testing being above its final value.

511-34
(JKRl8PJ/2016-S11 )

The test loads ,to be applied for the limit states of deflection and local
damage are 1he appropriate design loads, i.e. the characteristic dead
and imposed loads. When the ultimate limit state is being considered,
the test loads should be equal to the sum of the characteristic dead load
plus 1.25 times the characteristic imposed load and should be
maintained for a period of 24 h. If any of the final dead load is not in
position on the structure, compensating loads should be added as
necessary.
During the tests, struts and bracings strong enough to support the whole

ER
load should be placed in position, leaving a gap under the members to
be tested , and adequate precautions should be taken to safeguard
persons in the vicinity of the structure.

D
Measurements of deflection and crack width should be taken
immediately after the application of load. In the case of the 24 h

N
sustained load test, readings should be taken at the end of the 24 h
loaded period, after removal of the load and after the 24 h recovery

TE
period.
Sufficient measurements should be taken to enable side effects to be
taken into account. Temperature and Weather conditions should be
A
recorded during the test.
