 INTRODUCTION
 Development of a country depends on the connectivity of various
places with adequate road network.
 Roads constitute the most important mode of communication in
areas
where railways have not developed much.
 India has one of the largest road networks in the world (over 3
million km at present).For the purpose of management and
administration, roads in India are divided into the following five
categories:
• National Highways (NH)
• State Highways (SH)
• Major District Roads (MDR)
• Other District Roads (ODR)
• Village Roads (VR)

 TYPES OF PAVEMENTS
There are various types of pavements depending upon the materials used; a
briefs description of all types is given here-
FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS
Bitumen has been widely used in the construction of flexible pavements for a long
time.
 Have low flexural strength
 Load is transferred by grain to grain contact
 Have low completion cost but repairing cost is high
 Have low life span (High Maintenance Cost)

RIGID PAVEMENT
Rigid pavements, though costly in initial investment, are cheap in long run
because of low maintenance costs.
Deformation in the sub grade is not transferred to subsequent layers. Have high
flexural strength.
No such phenomenon of grain to grain load transfer exists.
Life span is more as compare to flexible (Low Maintenance Cost).

1. As base material of W.B.M. Road; stone ballast, concrete 10-
15cm layer are used. For bonding between concrete slab &
W.B.M. used 1:2 cement wash on W.B.M.
2. Concrete base
On the road used 10cm Cement concrete(1:2:4).

1. Rolling on sub grade by roller

2. Filling the granular soil in the weak part and pot holes
3. Correct the soil coat , Camber , longitudinal slop
When concrete direct laid on subgrade, For preventing the
water-seepaging into the soil , used water proof paper on entire
length.

 Material for form work-
Wooden sheets, battens, plywood, fibre hard board, steel plates.
1.before using form work, it should free from all type material like as
dust ,cement.
2.To placing the concrete in appropriate depth used 2.5-5cm thick
and 3mtr long wooden sheeting.
3. The depth of wooden block must be same as level of slab thick.
4. After 24hrs form work displaced next length of road.

If base is dry
Than using the sprinkling process on it properly after that
placing the concrete.

 5.MATERIAL MIXING AND PLACING
Mixer is equipment that mix the concrete using
distinct amount of cement , concrete, sand and water.
Concrete slab should have more than 5-10cm thick
cause of drying.
Used two type mixer-
1. Batch mixer-
at site, used for small road construction
2. Continuous mixer-
Continuous mixer used for large
construction . if distance is more from site ,
mix concrete
transported at site within setting time.

 6.COMACATION
Purpose of compaction is that to pull out air from void
and make concrete harden.

Compaction done by-

1.mechanically surface vibrator
2.manually hand tempers

7.Finishing of surface
1.Floating-
For levelling the surface use floating, scree-
ding , power trowel. So that there is no
acceptable more than 3mm variation in concrete
level surface. 9
 8. Curing
Curing is the name of increasing the hydration
process of cement.
after setting the concrete , curing process
done till 14-28days.
9.Filling joint
After drying road, clean the joints and fill
the shelling compound or hot bitumen .

 OPENTO TRAFFIC
• Generally after a month ,road should be
open to traffic.
• If used rapid hardening cement in take 7
days to traffic.
