Binder and Wearing Course 10.1 Tack coat 10.1.1 To be applied over the prepared approved crusher-run base and/or binder course as specified. Average rate of application should be 0.15 to 0.35 kg/m 2. 10.1.2 Temperature should be between 600C to 900C curing time is min. 1 hour for K1-40. 10.1.3 Bleeding surface flow of bitumen (occurs due to over spray of tack coat) by placing hot mix over sprayed should be removed. 10.2 Asphalt Paving 10.2.1 A mixture of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate filler and bitumen binder. 10.2.2 Minimum required thickness is 50mm. Required minimum compaction is 95%. Batching temperature is around 1630C. Maximum laying temperature is min. 1350C to max. 1630C. Temperature in joints should be min. 900C. Asphalt should be applied at max. 1.50m to get required temperature in joints. 10.2.3 Rolling and paving of asphalt is carried out from lower levels to higher levels. To know number of passes required for minimum compaction, trail area of up to 30m should be prepared. In long transition joints between layers, 15cm offset is kept for good compaction. 10.2.4 Segregation: Accumulation of asphaltic aggregates should be minimized and replaced with fine mix. 10.2.5 Pot holes: Less asphalt or thin asphalt surface, poor drainage and ponding due to diesel and oil patches, slippage cracks may form. Cracks can be repaired by, in-situ sealant, hot mix asphalt emulsion slurry. 10.2.6 Camber: Two side slope (Nor. 1.5%), Cross Fall One-side slope (Nor. 2%). 10.2.7 Asphalt paving speed is between 4 to 6 km/min. Weight of steel tandom roller (STR) should be 20 to 25 tonnes. Weight of Pnuematic Tyre Roller (PTR) should be 20 to 25 tonnes, tyre pressure should be in between 6 to 6.3 kg/cm2 or 80 to 110 PSI. 10.2.8 Staggered rolling should be done in passes to avoid channeling. First and final rolling should be with STR and intermediate using PTR for optimum compaction.

Retaining Wall 12.1 The setting out of the retaining wall shall be based on Pre-Computational Plan and carried out by Licensed Surveyor. The trench shall be excavated to the required level and checked. Reinforcement arrangement in the wall section would be provided as shown in the drawing by lapping with previous bar arrangement. PVC pipes would be placed inside the reinforcement arrangement according to the spacing as specified in the construction drawings. The section of the wall to be concreted should be reasonably clean and free from soil and debris. Concrete slump testing shall be conducted by the standard slump measuring methods and the result shall confirm to the specified workability of the concrete mix. Concrete would be placed in successive layers and porker vibrator would be applied while concreting. Inlet of the weep hole would be enclosed by a suitable packing of geotextile wrapped surrounded with aggregates. Backfilling to commence when R.C. retaining wall has gained sufficient concrete strength. Compaction of backfill should be in successive layers with the application of vibrator roller, break compactors where necessary. 5
