INTRODUCTION

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Road survey is very essential for economical construction of the road.

In India various road is damaged due to shortage of good survey of road and better alignment conditions.
For road survey we ought to conduct various surveys like rout survey, chain survey, leveling etc

In our project we have used dumpy level for leveling of road. Earthwork calculation should be made such
that cutting of the road is equal to filling of the road for economic road construction.

1.1 NECESSITY/REQUIREMENTS

In the present era planning is considered as a pre requisite before attempting any development
program. This is particularly true for any engineering work as planning is the basic requirement for
any new project or an expansion program. Thus highway planning is also a basic need for highway
development.

MAIN OBJECTS:-
1) To plan a road network for efficient and safe traffic operation, but at minimum cost.
2) To fix up date wise priority for development of each road link based on utility is the main
criterion for phasing the road development program.
3) To plan for future requirement and improvements of road in view of anticipated development.
4) To work out financing system.
1.2 CLASSIFICATIONS

5
 Roads are differentiated into five major categories:

1. National Highway (NH).  National Highway are main highways running through the length and
breadth of India, capitals of large states and industrial and tourists centers.
2. State Highway (SH).  State highways are arterial roads of a state, connecting up with the national
highways of adjacent state, district head quarters and important cities within the state.
3. Major District Road (MDR). Major district road are important roads with in a district surveying areas
of productions and markets and connecting those with each other or with the main highways of a
district.
4. Other District road (ODR). Other district road are surveying rural areas of productions and providing
them with outlet to market canters, taulk head quarters, block development head quarters or other
main roads.
5. Village Road (VR). Village road are roads connecting villages or groups of villages with each other to
the nearest road of a higher category.

1.3 PAVEMENT SURFACE CHARACTERISTICS

Friction- the friction between vehicle tyre and pavement surface is one of the factor determining the
operating speed and distance requirement in stopping and accelerate the vehicles.

Skid- skid occurs when the wheel partially revolve i.e. when the path travelled along the road surface is
more than the circumferential movements of the wheels due to their rotation.

Slip- slip occur when a wheel revolves more than the corresponding longitudinal movements along the
roads.

1.4 FACTOR AFFECTING FRICTION OR SKID RESISTANCE

1) Type of pavement surface namely, cement concrete, WBM, earth surface etc.
2) Macro-texture of the pavement surface or its relative roughness.

6
3) Condition of pavement namely, wet or dry, smooth or rough, oil spilled etc.
4) Type and condition of tyre.
5) Speed of vehicle.
6) Extent of brake application or brake efficiency.
7) Load and tyre pressure.
8) Temperature of tyre and pavement.
9) Type of skid, if any.

 CHAPTER 3

MATERIALS AND TESTING

3.1 MATERIALS USED IN ROAD AND THEIR PROPERTIES

SUBGRADE SOIL-: It is an integral part of road pavement structure as it provides support from beneath.
The main function of the sub grade is to provide adequate support to the pavement and hence the sub-
grade should posses’ sufficient stability under adverse climatic and loading conditions. It is therefore
considered as the principle highway material.

Properties:
 Stability
 Incompressibility
 Permanency of strength
 Minimum changes in volume and stability under adverse conditions of weather and ground
water.
 Good drainage.
 Ease of compaction.

AGGREGATES-: They form the major portion of pavement structure and are the prime materials used in
pavement construction. Aggregates have to bear stresses occurring due to wheel loads on the pavement
they also have to resist wear due to abrasive action of traffic.

Properties:
 Strength
 Hardness
 Toughness
 Durability

11
CEMENT: - It may be described as a material having adhesive and cohesive properties which make it
capable of bonding mineral fragments into a compact whole. For constructional purposes the meaning of
the term cement is restricted to the bonding material used with stones, sand etc.

Properties:
 Hardness
 Good plasticity
 Strength
 Moisture - resistance
 Workability

SAND: - It is a naturally occurring material formed in nature due to decomposition of sand stone. It I
usually obtained from pit or by dredging from bottom of sea or rivers. The most important function of
sand in concrete is to assist in producing workability and uniformity in the mixture. It also promotes
plasticity and prevents the possibility of segregation of concrete.

Properties:
 Durable
 Hard
 Workability
 Promotes plasticity
 Provides uniformity

1.2 TESTS TO BE DONE

3.2.1 CALIFORNIA BEARING RATIO TEST

The California bearing ratio test is penetration test meant for the evaluation of subgrade
strength of roads and pavements. The results obtained by these tests are used with the
empirical curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its component layers. This is the
most widely used method for the design of flexible pavement.

12
CBR is the ratio of force per unit area required to penetrate a soil mass with standard circular
piston at the rate of 1.25 mm/min. to that required for the corresponding penetration of a
standard material.

Test load
C.B.R. = Standars load × 100
¿
¿

Procedure:

Place the mould assembly with the surcharge weights on the penetration test machine.

Seat the penetration piston at the center of the specimen with the smallest possible load, but
in no case in excess of 4 kg so that full contact of the piston on the sample is established.

Set the stress and strain dial gauge to read zero. Apply the load on the piston so that the
penetration rate is about 1.25 mm/min.

Record the load readings at penetrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 7.5, 10 and
12.5 mm. Note the maximum load and corresponding penetration if it occurs for a penetration
less than 12.5 mm.

A graph is plotted; load values are converted into pressure values and plotted against

penetration values.

The standard load values obtained from the average of large number of tests are 1370 and

2055 Kg respectively at 2.5 and 5.0 mm penetration.

5.2.2 SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND WATER ABSORPTION TEST

Specific gravity of an aggregate is considered as a measure of the quality or strength of the

material. The density bottle method is the most accurate and suitable for all types of soils.

Mass (M1) of empty dry bottle is first taken. A sample of oven dried soil, cooled in a

13
 desiccators is put in bottle and the mass (M 2) is taken. The bottle is then filled with distilled

water, removing the entrapped air. The mass (M3) of the bottle, soil and water is taken.

Finally the bottle is cleaned and thoroughly washed and clean water is filled to the top and

mass (M4) is taken. Based on these observations Specific gravity (G) is computed as:

Dry mass of soil M 2−M 1

G= =
mass of water of equal volume ( M 4−M 1 )−( M 3−M 2)

Water absorption is expressed is expressed as the percent water absorbed in terms of over

dried weight of aggregates.

Specific gravity varies from 2.6 to 2.9 and water absorption should not be more than 0.6%.

Mean value of specific gravity = 2.67

Mean value of water absorption = 0.46 %

5.2.3 DETERMINATION OF LIQUID LIMITS AND PLASTIC LIMIT

Liquid limit is determined in the laboratory by Casagrande apparatus. Casagrande

subsequently standardized the apparatus and the procedures to make the measurement more
repeatable. Soil is placed into the metal cup portion of the device and a groove is made down
its center with a standardized tool. The cup is repeatedly dropped 10mm onto a hard rubber
base during which the groove closes up gradually as a result of the impact. The number of
blows for the groove to close for 13 mm (½ inch) is recorded. The moisture content at which
it takes 25 drops of the cup to cause the groove to close is defined as the liquid limit. Liquid
limit is determined by plotting a graph between number of blows as abscissa and
corresponding water content as ordinate.

The plastic limit (PL) is the water content where soil starts to exhibit plastic behaviour. A
thread of soil is at its plastic limit when it is rolled to a diameter of 3 mm or begins to

14
crumble. To improve consistency, a 3 mm diameter rod is often used to gauge the thickness
of the thread when conducting the test.

Liquid Limit = 24.5

Plastic Limit = 20

Plasticity Index = L.L – P.L. = 24.5 – 20 = 4.5

5.2.4 SIEVE NANALYSIS

The complete sieve analysis is divided into two parts- Course analysis and fine analysis. The
portion of soil retained on 4.75 mm IS Sieve is termed as gravel and is kept for coarse
analysis and the portion passing through it is kept for fine analysis. Following sets of sieves
are used for coarse analysis: IS: 100, 63, 20, 10 and 4.75 mm. Sieves used for fine sieve
analysis are : 2mm, 1.0mm, 600, 425, 300, 212, 150 and 75 micron IS Sieves.

A suitable sieve size for the aggregate should be selected and placed in order of decreasing
size, from top to bottom, in a mechanical sieve shaker. A pan should be placed underneath the
nest of sieves to collect the aggregate that passes through the smallest. The entire nest is then
agitated, and the material whose diameter is smaller than the mesh opening passes through
the sieves. After the aggregate reaches the pan, the amount of material retained in each sieve
is then weighed. % of soil retained on each sieve is calculated on the basis of the total mass of
soil sample taken from these results percentage passing through each sieve is calculated.

5.2.5 CONSISTENCY TEST( VICAT’S APPARATUS)

The basic aim is to find out the water content required to produce a cement paste of standard
consistency as specified by the IS: 4031 (Part 4) – 1988. The principle is that standard
consistency of cement is that consistency at which the Vicat plunger penetrates to a point 5-
7mm from the bottom of Vicat mould.

15
Apparatus – Vicat apparatus, Balance, whose permissible variation at a load of 1000g should
be +1.0g, Gauging trowel.

Procedure
i) Weigh approximately 400g of cement and mix it with a weighed quantity of water. The
time of gauging should be between 3 to 5 minutes.
ii) Fill the Vicat mould with paste and level it with a trowel.
iii) Lower the plunger gently till it touches the cement surface.
iv) Release the plunger allowing it to sink into the paste.
v) Note the reading on the gauge.
vi) Repeat the above procedure taking fresh samples of cement and different quantities of
water until the reading on the gauge is 5 to 7mm.

Amount of water is expressed as a percentage of the weight of dry cement to the first place of
decimal.

 CHAPTER 5

LEVELLING

5.0 INTRODUCTION

Leveling is the branch or surveying the object of which is :-s

1. To find the elevations of given points with respect to a given or assumed datum, and

2. To establish points at a given elevation or at different elevations with respect to a

given or assumed datum.

5.1 DUMPY LEVEL

The dumpy level originally by gravity , consist of a telescope tube and the vertical spindle
cast in one piece and a long bubble tube is attached to the top of the telescope. this form is
known as solid dumpy.

ADVANTAGES OF DUMPY LEVEL

 Simpler construction with fewer movable parts.

 Fewer adjustments to be made.

 Longer life of the adjustment.

5.2 FIELD PROCEDURE

Profile leveling, like differential leveling, requires the establishment of turning points on which both back

and fore sights are taken in addition, any no. of intermediate site may be obtained on points along the line

21
from each set up of the instrument in fect; points on the profile line are merely intermediates stations it is

generally best to set up the level to one side of the profile line to avoid too short sites on the instrument

for each setup, intermediate sites should be taken after the fore site on the next turning station has been

taken. The level is then set up in advanced position and a back site is taken on that turning point the

position on the intermediate point on the profile is simultaneously locked by chining along the profile and

nothing there distance from the point if commencement. When the vertical profile of the ground is regular

of gradually curving, level are taken on points at equal distances apart generally at interval of a chain

length. On irregular ground where abrupt changes of sloped occur the points should be chosen nearer. For

purpose of checking and future reference, temporary bench marks should be establish along the section .

Cross section of earth work of road in banking or in cutting is usually in the form of
trapezium, and quantity of earthwork may be calculated by following method.
Quantity or Volume = Sectional Area * Length.
Sectional Area = Area of central Rectangular portion + Area of two side Triangle portions.
= Bd + 2 (1/2sd*d)
= Bd+sd*d
S:1 is the ratio of side slopes are horizontal : vertical for 1 vertical horizontal is s, for d
vertical, horizontal is sd.
Quantity = (Bd + sd*d)*L
When the ground is in a longitudinal slope, the height of bank or the depth of cutting will be
different in the two ends of the section, and mean height or depth may be taken for “d” and
sectional area at mid section is taken out for means height alternatively, sectional area at the
two ends may be calculated at the mean of two sectional area is taken out. Sectional area at
the mid section or the mean sectional area multiplyied by the length gives the quantity.
Mean height = d1 +d2 / 2
Different kinds of soil as sandy, clayey, rocky, etc. estimated separately is the rate vary.

 fter the detailed study of the report, we have seen that the Rigid Pavement and upgradation
process of NH-12, connecting Bhopal with important places, has proved as a landmark in the
history. This highway is a busy one in M.P. State with heavy traffic density and load on the
pavement due to which there is a regular wear and tear and eruption of potholes on the
pavement. This has resulted in discomfort and inconvenience to the passengers.

As we know that Bhopal city is growing on a tremendous speed in aspects of education,

technology, conveyance, etc. Thus it has gained a unique place in India. Hence, this Rigid
pavement process has not only facilitated movement of large number of vehicles but also
connected various remote places to the big cities. Even villagers now find it very easy to
carry out their lives as this highway is the only source of their income because they depend
mainly on agriculture.

Thus we can conclude that these types of projects helps in fulfilling our dreams of safe,
beautiful, conservation city and hand-in-hand a good source of national economy.

CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSION

After the detailed study of the report, we have seen that the highway planning and up
gradation process of NH-12, connecting Bhopal with important places, has proved as a
landmark in the history. This highway is a busy one in M.P. State with heavy traffic density
and load on the pavement due to which there is a regular wear and tear and eruption of
potholes on the pavement. This has resulted in discomfort and inconvenience to the
passengers.

28
As we know that Bhopal city is growing on a tremendous speed in aspects of education,
technology, conveyance, etc. Thus it has gained a unique place in India. Hence, this Highway
planning process has not only facilitated movement of large number of vehicles but also
connected various remote places to the big cities. Even villagers now find it very easy to
carry out their lives as this highway is the only source of their income because they depend
mainly on agriculture.

Thus we can conclude that these types of projects helps in fulfilling our dreams of safe,
beautiful, conservation city and hand-in-hand a good source of national economy.
