Page-46 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER 7.19 EXCAVATION OF BORROW PITS. 7.19.1. As far as possible no borrow pits should be dug on road land. Before deciding to dig borrow pits on road land, earth for the embankment should be obtained: (i) from cutting of nearby sections of the road; (ii) from excavation improving sight distances at nearby curves; (iii) by sectioning an adjacent nullah or waterway where necessary; (iv) by excavating side drains and catch water drains. (v) by excavating side drains and catch water drains, (vi) from bumps above the general ground level with the road land. (vii) from bumps above the general ground level with the road land. (viii) by excavating tanks. (ix) from land acquired temporarily outside road land; (x) from soil mounds resulting from the digging of wells and borrowings from fields in the vicinity of the road. 7.19.2. Borrow pits should be rectangular in shape with one side parallel to the central line or the road. If no road land, they could be dug as near the road boundary as possible. 7.19.3. No borrow pits should be dug within 5 meters (16ft.) of the toe of the final section of the road embankment, after making due allowance for future development. 7.19.4. Borrow pits shouldn’t be dug continuously. Ridges of not less than 8 meters (25 ft.) width should be left at intervals not exceeding 30 meters (70 ft.) small drains should be cut through the ridges, if necessary to facilitate drainage. 7.19.5. When it becomes necessary to borrow earth from temporarily acquired cultivatable lands the depth of borrow pits should not be exceed 45 cm. (1.5 ft.) The soil to a depth of 15 cm (6”) should be stripped and stacked aside. Thereafter soil may be dug/cut to a further depth not exceeding 30 cm. (12”) and used in forming the embankment. The top soil should then be spread back on the land. It is most important to adopt this practice when soil borrowed is from rich cultivatable land. 7.20. CONSTRUCTION-PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS. 7.20.1. Clearing & grubbing:- Prior to the commencement of earth work the site shall be cleared of construction, including building, fences, abandoned drainage structures and vegetation such as tree, roots, undergrowth, grass, rubbish etc. except where it may be desirable to retain the vegetation for appearance, shade or other reasons. Complete clearance shall be carried out with the actual construction limits. All trees and shrubs which are not expected to interfere with the construction and use of the highway should be preserved. Cost of removal of ordinary vegetation and minor jungle growth and disposal thereof as directed by the Engineer-in -charge shall be included in the tender rate and shall not be paid for as extra. 7.20.2. Tree stumps should not extend more than 1 ft above the original ground nor should they be closer than 2 ft. to any sub-grade shoulder or slope surface. On areas to be cleared beyond the embankment and earthwork lines, stumps must be cut down below ground level so that appearance may not be unsightly. 7.20.3 The removed bush and stumps shall in all case be cleared away to waste lands preferably burnt on locations away from the road side. Materials possessing any salvage value should be stacked as directed by the Engineer-in-charge. Page-47 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER 7.20.4. Care shall be taken to see that unsuitable waste materials are disposed of in such a manner that there is no likelihood of its getting mixed with the materials proposed to be used for embankment construction. 7.20.5. COMPACTING ORIGINAL GROUND:- In all cases where conditions permit, the original ground shall be consolidated as much as reasonable possible or ads directed by the Engineer-in-charge by rolling or other means. An6y empty pockets or depressions left in the soil as a result of cleaning grubbing operations shall be filled and compacted. Nothing extra shall be paid for these operations. 7.20.6. Where so directed by Engineer-in-charge any unsuitable materials occurring in the embankment foundation shall be removed and replaced by approved materials. 7.20.7. Where the embankment is to be placed on steep sloping ground the surface of the ground shall be benched in step or trenched, or broken up In such manner that the new materials will have bond with existing surface, and the cost thereof shall be included in the tendered rate. 7.20.8. Where the embankment is to be placed over an existing road surface, the surface shall be scarified, so as to provide ample bond between old an drew materials. 7.20.9. Embankment work shall not proceed until the foundations have been inspected by the Engineerin- charge for satisfactory conditions and approved. 7.21 CONSTRUCTION: PLACING OF EMBANKMENT MATERIALS. 7.21.1. Only materials as approved by the Engineer-in -charge shall be utilised in the embankment. The work shall be so planned and executed that the best available materials are saved for the top portion of the embankment and sub grades. Approved materials shall be obtained from approved areas. 7.21.2 EMBANKMENT SLOPES:- The embankment shall be built to have side slopes as shown in the drawings or as directed by the Engineer-in -charge o the work. 7.21.3. PLACING SOIL IN LAYERS:- To obtain adequate compaction, the embankment shall not be placed until the layer under construction has been thoroughly compacted to satisfy the requirements laid down hereafter. To ensure correctness, the execution of the toe -lines on the embankment shall be marked carefully with pegs at close interval. The profiles with due allowance for settlement shall be set up with the help of bamboos and string. The earth work of the embankment will be carried on uniformly in layers according to these profiles. Due care shall be exercised to ensure that loose thickness of each layer does not exceed the specified limit. 7.21.4. Layers exceeding 9_ in loose depth shall be permitted only when the Engineer-in-charge is satisfied tha t the compaction plant proposed to bemused will achieve the specified compaction throughout the whole depth of the layer. Provided further that when a sheep foot roller is used the thickness of the loose layer shall not exceed the length of the t aping feet by more than 2”. The embankment materials shall be deposited in layers not more than 9” loose thickness unless otherwise specified and compacted to 70% proctor density at O.M.C. with P.R.R. To facilitate proper planning and compaction of earthwork a sub-chapter on profile making has been separately enclosed for strict compliance in this regard. 7.21.5. If the soil has less than desired moisture content water shall be added to it either in the borrow pits before excavation is made, or after the soil is spread loosely on embankment with out any extra charge. Addition of water may be made in the former case through flooding or irrigating the borrow area and in the latter case through sprinkling the water either directly from a hose line or from a truck mounted water tank. Page-48 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER 7.21.6. If the soil delivered to the road formation is too wet, it shall be dried, by aeration and exposure to Sun, till the moisture content is acceptable for compaction. Should circumstance arise where owing to wet weather the moisture content of certain soil cannot be reduced to the appropriate amount by aeration, the compaction of these soils shall be suspended. 7.21.7. After adjusting the moisture content the soil shall be processed by means of graders, borrows, rotary mixers or other suitable equipments, until the layers is uniformly wet without any cost of Government. Clods or hard lumps of earth shall be broken down to sizes preferably of the order of 5 cm (2”) but under no circumstances shall the maximum size of such clods exceed 15 cm. (6”) when being placed in the body of the embankment and the maximum size shall not exceed 6 cm. (2 ½” ) when being placed on the top to a depth of 50 cm (18”) if the embankment. 7.22. MOISTURE CONTENT AND DENSITY: - The moisture conte nt of each layer of soil at the time of compaction should be as directed by the Engineer-in-charge. The M.C. of each layer of soil at the time of compaction should be at O.M.C. However, the tolerance limits for this M.C. of the soil with respect of O.M.C. are between 1% above the optimum and 2% below the optimum value. The soil spread in layers shall be thoroughly compacted to the required densities as stipulated as stipulated by I.R.C. in their code 31.32 Para 15.3,15,4.15.5 and 16. Each layer will be tested in the field for density and pronounced accepted by the Engineer-in-charge before the next layer is laid. The surface of the embankment shall at all times during construction be maintained at such a cross fall as will shed water and prevent pending. 7.23. EMBANKMENT AROUND STRUCTURES. 7.23.1. The filling around and over culverts and other structures in the embankment area shall be carried out independently of the work on the main embankment. The embankment shall be brought up simultaneously in equal layers on each side of the structure to avoid displacement and unequal pressure. 7.23.2. The soil in such cases shall per deposited in layers not exceeding 6_ loose thickness and shall be compacted thoroughly and to the satisfaction of the /engineer-in -charge. Where it may be impracticable to use power rollers or other heavy equipments, the compaction shall be carried out by mechanical tampers or by other approved methods. 7.24. COMPACTION CONTROL 7.24.1. PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION:- preliminary investigation shall be made by the contractor at his own cost as per direction given by the engineer -in –charge to determine the most economical procedure to be adopted to obtain the specified degree of compaction and the necessary field control (as a result of the suggested investigations it is generally found that it is sufficient to ensure that the soil laid in layers of the specified thickness, with the specified moisture, and is rolled with the number of passes of the compaction equipments which are found to produce the specified degree of compaction.) Page-49 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER 7.24.2. The compaction control on the work in the field will be exercised by the department through frequent moisture content and density determinations. The following control test shall be made on the borrow materials. 7.25 ANALYIS AND ACCEPTANCE OF DENSITY RESULT. 7.25.1. Except otherwise directed , at least one measurement of density shall be made for each 700M2 (7000sq.ft.) compacted area . Test location shall be chosen only through predetermined random sampling techniques. Control shall not be based on the result of any one test but on the mean value of 5-7 density determinations. The number of tests in one set of measurements shall be 5 as long as it was felt that sufficient control over borrow materials and the method of compaction was being exercised . But if there was any doubt about this control, or considerable variations were observed between individual density results the minimum number of tests in one set of measurement shall forthwith be increased to 7. The acceptance of results shall be subject to the condition that the mean dry density equals or exceeds the specified density and the standard deviation for any set of result is below 0.88 gm .per c.c. (5lb per cu. ft.) 7.25.2 In general the control at top sub grade layer of the formation shall be more strict , with density measurements being done as stated above ,at the rate of test per 500-700 esq.(50-70) sum of compacted area . Further for the determination of mean density and standard deviation the number of tests in one test of measurements shall not be less than 7. In other respects, the control will be similar to as spilt out in the previous Para. 7.25.3 If for any reason it has not been found possible to conduct the minimum number of tests in mentioned above, the test values obtained form fewer tests shall be used only as an aid to judgment and as a proof of the quality of the work. 7.25.4 The va lue of the Standard deviation_ shall be calculated form the formula. Q=1/n v n?X2 (?x)2 Where Q= standard deviation in gm/cc (lb/cu.ft.) n= total number of density measurements, and x= Value of dry density in gm. Per c.c. (lb/cu.ft.) 7.26. REMOVAL OF SOFT AREAS When density measurements reveal any soft areas in the embankment, the Engineer-in-charge shall direct that these areas should be compacted further and nothing extra shall be paid. Inspire of that, if the specified compaction is not achieved, the materials in the soft areas shall be directed to be removed and replaced by approved materials, compacted to the satisfaction of the Engineered-in-charge.

COARSE AGGREGATE- SIZE AND GRADING REQUIREMENTS. 7.33.12. As far as possibly coarse aggregates shall conform to one of the degrading give n in Table -2 Grading 1 is more suitable for sub-base course, but it is not tenable for a compacted layer thickness or less than 90 mm. Page-54 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER 7.33.13. The size of aggregate tube used in given case would depend on the type of aggregates available and compacted thickness of the layer. The use of grading –I shall however, be restricted to sub-base courses only. 7.33.14. For crushable type aggregates like brick metal, kantar and literate, the grading given in Table -2 are not so relevant and need not be strictly enforced but the material should generally be within the size range indicated. 5.31.15 TABLE -2 SIZE AND GRADING REQUIREMENT OF COARSE AGGREGATES FOR WBM Grading No. Size range Sieve designation (IS:460) Percent by weight passing the sieve. 1 2 3 4 1 90mm to 45mm 125mm 100 90mm 90-70 63mm 25-60 45mm 0-15 22.4mm 0-5 2 63mm to 45mm 90mm 100 63mm 90-70 53mm 25-75 45mm 0-15 22.4mm 0-5 3 53mm to 22.4mm 23mm 100 53mm 95-70 45mm 65-90 22.4mm 0-7 11.2mm 0-5 7.33. SCREENIGS: 7.33.1. Screening to fill voids in the coarse aggregates shall generally be of the same materials as the coarse aggregates. However, from economic considerations, predominantly non-plastic material such as kantar nodules, moored or gravel (other than river borne rounded aggregate) may also be utilized for this purpose provided that the liquid limit and plasticity index of such material is bellow 20 and 6 respectively and the fraction and the fraction passing 57 micron sieve does not exceed 7 percent. 7.33.2. As far as possible, screenings shall conform to the grading shown in Table 3. Screenings of type A in Table -3 shall be used in conjunction with coarse aggregate of grading II. With coarse aggregate of grading-2 either type A or type B screenings may be used. For screenings like moored and gravel the grading given in Table -3 shall not be regarded as binding. Type B screenings shall be used with coarse aggregates. 7.33.3. The use of screenings may be dispensed with in the case of crushable type coarse aggregate such as brick metal, kantar and literate.

BINDING MATERIAL- Binding materials to prevent reveling of water bound macadam shall consist of the fine grained material possessing P.I value of 49 when the WBM to be used as a surfacing cores, and unto 6 when the WBM is being adopted as a sub-base/base course with bituminous surfacing. If lime stone formations are available nearby, lime stone dust or kantar nodules may be usefully employed for this purpose. 7.33.6. Application of binding material may not be necessary where the screening consist of crushable type material like moored or gravel. However, for WBM used as a surfacing course, where the P.I. of crushable type screening is less than 4, application of a small amount binding material having P.I of 4 to 9 would be required at the top. The quantity of screening could be reduced slightly on this account. 7.33.7. QUNATITIES OF MATERIAL-Approximately quantities, of coarse aggregate and screening required for 70b mm. compacted thickness of WBM. Sub-base course are shown in Table -4, likewise rough quantities of materials for WBM base or surfacing course for a compacted thickness 75 mm. Are given in Table -5 7.33.8. The quantit y of binding material wheel it is to be (used See par 12.3.5) will depend on the type of screenings and function of WBM Generally, the quantity required for 75 mm. compacted thickness will be 0/06 to 0.09 M3 per 7 M2 in the case of WBM sub-base.

CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE 7.34.1. PREPARATION OF SURFACE FOR RECEIVING THE WBM COURSE:-The sub-grade, subbase to receive the water bound macadam course shall be prepared to the required grade and camber and cleaned of all dust, dirt and other extraneous matter. Any ruts or soft yielding places that have appeared due to improper drainage service or under traffic or other reasons shall be corrected and rolled until firm. 7.34.2. Where the water bound macadam is to be laid on existing surfaced road, the surface shall be scarified and re-shaped to the required grade and camber as necessary. Weak places shall be strengthened, corrugations removed and depressions and pot holes made good with suitable material before speeding the coarse aggregates for WBM. 7.34.3. Where the existing road surface is black-topped, 50 mm x 50 mm. Furrows shall be cut in the existing surface at 1 meter intervals at 45 degree to the centre line of the carriageway before proceeding with the laying of coarse aggregates. 7.34.4. In all cases the foundation shall be kept well-drained during the construction operations. 7.34.5. PROVISION OF LATERAL CONFINEMENT OF AGGREGATES:-Before starting with WBM construction, necessary arrangements shall be made for the lateral confinement of aggregates. One method Page-57 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER is to construct side shoulders in advance to thickness corresponding to the compacted layer of the WBM course. After shoulders are ready, their inside edge may be trimmed vertical and the included area cleaned of all spoiled material there any setting the stage for spread of coarse aggregates. The practice of constructing WBM in a trench section excavated in the finished formation must be completely avoided. 7.34.6. SPREADING COURSE AGGREGATES:-The course aggregates shall be spread uniformly and evenly upon the prepared base in required quantities from premature stick piles along the side of the road or directly from vehicles. In n case shall these be dumped in heaps directly on the area where these are to be laid nor shall their hauling over a partly completed base be permitted. The aggregates shall be spread to proper profile by suing templates placed across the road about 6 meters apart. Where possible, approved mechanical device shall be used to spread the aggregates uniformly so at to minimize the need for manipulation by hand. 7.34.7. The WBM course shall normally be constructed in layers of not more than 75 mm. compacted thickness, However, for aggregates of grading table 2, the compacted thickness of layer may go up to 70 mm. Each layer shall be tested by depth blocks No segregation of large and fine particles shall be allowed in the coarse aggregates as spreading shall be of uniform gradation with no pockets of fine material. 7.34.8. The coarse aggregates shall not normally be spread in le ngth exceeding three days average work ahead of rolling and binding the proceeding section. 7.35. ROLLING 7.35.1. After the laying of coarse aggregate, these shall be compacted to full width by rolling with either three wheel power roller of 6 to 7 tone s capacity or an equivalent vibratory roller. The weight of them roller shall depend on the type of the aggregates. 7.35.2. The rolling shall begin from edges with roller running forward and backward until the edges have been compacted. The roller shall then progress gradually from the edges towards the centre parallel to the centre line of the road, uniformly lapping each preceding rear wheel track by one half width. Rolling shall be discontinued when the aggregate practically complicated sufficient with voids space to permit application of screenings. However where screenings are not to be applied, as in the case of crushable aggregates like brick metal, literate and kantar, compaction shall be continued until the aggregates are thoroughly keyed or interlocked with no creeping of stones ahead of the roller. Slight sprinkling of water may be done during rolling if necessary. 7.35.3. On super elevated portion of the road, rolling shall commence from the lower edge and progress gradually towards the upper edge of the pavement. 7.35.4. Rolling shall not be done when the sub-grade is soft or yielding nor when it causes a wave like motion in the base course / sub-grade. If irregularities develop during rolling which exceeds 7 mm. When tested with a 3 meter straight edge the surface shall be loosened and aggregates added or removed as required before rolling again so as to achieve uniform surface conforming to the desired cross section and grade. The surface shall also be checked transversely by template for camber, and any irregularities corrected in the manner described above. In no case shall the ease of screenings to make up depressions be permitted. 7.36. APPLICATION OF SCREENINGS 7.36.1 After coarse aggregates have been rolled as per Para 12.5 screenings to fill the interstices shall be applied gradually over the surface. Dry Rolling shall be done when the screenings are being spread so that the jarring effect of roller causes them to settle into the voids of the coarse aggregates. The screenings shall not be dumped in piles but applied uniformly in successive thin layers either by the spreading motion of Page-58 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER hand shovels, mechanical spreaders or directly from the trucks plying over the base course to spread screenings that shall be equipped with pneumatic tires and so operated as not to disturb the coarse aggregates. 7.36.2. The screenings shall be applied at a slow rate in three or more applications as necessary. This shall e accompanied by rolling and booming either by mechanical brooms/hand brooms or both that may be used. In no case shall be screening be applied so fast and thick as to form cakes or ridges on the surface making the refilling of voids difficult or preventing the direct bearing of roller on the coarse aggregates. The spreading rolling and booming of screenings shall be taken up on sections which can be completed within one day’s operation. Damp and wet screenings shall not be used in any circumstances. 7.37. SPRINKILING AND GROUTING 7.37.1. After application of screening the surface shall be copiously sprinkled with water swept and rolled. Hand brooms shall be used to sweep the wet screening into the voids and distribute them evenly. The sprinkling, sweeping and rolling operations shall be continued and additional screenings applied where necessary until the coarse aggregates are well bound and firmly set and a grout has been formed and screenings. Care shall be taken that the base or sub-grade does not gate damaged due to addition of excessive quantities of water during the constructions. 7.38. APPLICATION OF BINDING MATERIAL. 7.38.1. After the application of screenings as per Para 12.6 & 12.7 binding materials where it is required to be used (see Para above) shall be applied at a uniform and slow rate in two or more successive thin layers. After each application of binding materials, the surface shall be copiously sprinkled with water and the resulting slurry swept in with hand brooms or both so as to fill the voids properly. This shall be followed by rolling with a 6 to 7 Ton roller during which water shall be applied to the wheels to wash down the binding material that may get stuck to them. The spreading of binding material, sprinkling of water sweeping with brooms and rolling shall continue until the slurry of binding material and water forms a wave ahead of the wheels of moving roller. 7.39. SETTING AND DRYING 7.39.1. After final compaction of the course the road shall be allowed to cure overnight; next morning the hungry spots shall be filled with screening or binding materials lightly sprinkled with water if necessary and rolled. No traffic shall be allowed till the macadam set. 7.39.2. In case of water bound macadam base course to be provided with bituminous surfacing the latter shall be laid only after the WBM course is completely dry and before allowing any traffic on it. 7.40. PLYING OF CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC 7.40.1. In general construction traffic may ply over compacted portions of the WBM course provided vehicles move over its full width avoiding any rutting or uneven compaction, However, Engineer-incharge shall have full authority to stop the passage of construction traffic when in his opinion this is leading to excessive damage. 7.41. SURFACE EVENNESS OF WBM COURSE COMPLETED 7.41.1. The surface evenne ss of completed WBM course in longitudinal and transverse direction shall be within the tolerance indicated in Table – 6. Page-59 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER TABLE – 6. PERMITTED TOLERANCES OF SURFACE EVENNESS FOR WBM COURSE 7.41.2. The longitudinal profile shall be checked with a 3 meters long straight edge at the middle of each traffic lane along a line parallel to the centre line of the road. The transverse profile shall be checked with a series of three camber boards at intervals of 7 meters. 7.42 RECTIFICATION OF DEFFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION 7.42.1. Where the surface irregularity of the WBM course exceeds the tolerance given in Table – 6, where the course is otherwise defective due to sub-grade soil mixing with the aggregates, the layer to its full thickness shall be scarified over the affected area, reshaped with added material or removed and replaced with farces material as applicable and recompacted in accordance with para – 12.5 the area treated in the aforesaid manner shall not be less than 7 meter square in no case shall depressions be the filed with the screening or binding materials. 7.43 CONSTRUCTIONOF WBM NARROW WIDTHS. 7.43.1. Where the WBM course is to be construct din narrow widths for widening an existing pavement, the following sequence of operations should be adopted . ( i ) The existing shoulders should be excavated tot heir full depth and width up to the sub grade soil except where the widening specifications envisages laying of a stabilised soil sub base using in situ operations in which case same should be removed only up to the sub-base level. ( ii ) Before proceeding with the laying for WBM course, shoulders be rebuilt in layer in reduced width depending on the extent of widening. The compacted thickness of each layer should correspond to the compacted layer should correspond to the compacted layer of WBM course, shoulders should to be laid adjacent to it. After recompaction the inside edges of shoulder should be trimmed vertical and the included area cleared of all spilled materials and ; ( iii ) The construction of WBM layer should then follow the usual manner. 7.44. MAINTENANCE OF WBM WEARING COURSE. 7.44.1. The successful performance of WBM as a surfacing course depends to a large extent on wearing maintenance. Maintenance measures for this can be considered under three heads, periodic patching of potholes along with removal of ruts and depression, blinding of the surface and surface renewal. 7.44.2. PATHCING POT-HOLES AND RUTS - Pot-holes, ruts and other depression should be drained of water and cut to regular shape with vertical sides. All loose and disintegrated materials shall be removed and the exposed surfaced swept clean /the holes, depression shall then be filled with salvaged coarse aggregates mixed with sufficient quantity of fresh aggregates and recompacted as normal WBM operations described in para 12.5, so that the patched area merge with the adjoining surface. Where the area so treated is small, hand rammers may be used for compaction instead of rollers. Page-60 CONTRACTOR EXECUTIVE ENGINEER 7.44.3 BLINDING OF SURFACE : - Blinding of the surface shall be resorted to pe riodically as soon as the blinding material applied has been eroded away due to traffic or weather action and the surface has started showing signs of disintegration . Blinding operations shall consist of application of blinding material in thin layers and grouting in accordance with the procedure given in previous Para. 7.45. SURFACE RENEWAL. 7.45.1. WBM wearing course shall be renewed when the surface is own out, corrugated and badly damaged or has profusions of pot-holes and depression which can be treated economically with patching or blinding operation. 7.45.2. For renewal, the existing surface shall be scarified to a depth of 50 to 75 mm. And the resulting materials removed to berms for screening to salvage the useable coarse aggregates. The exposed pavement shall be scarified again at high spots so as to ensure proper grade and camber. The salvaged coarse aggregates are mixed with sufficient quantity of fresh aggregates. Usually between one half to one third of the quantity of salvaged aggregate s shall be used for construction of new WBM course in accordance with para 16.2. 7.46. RECONSTRUCTING DAMAGED MACADAM. If at any time the sub-grade material should get mixed with the base course materials, the mixture shall be removed and the sub-grade shaped and compacted. The materials removed shall then be replaced with clean aggregate, which shall be rolled until satisfactory compaction is achieved. If any irregularities develop in the sub-grade during or after rolling of the sub-coarse, they shall be corrected by loosening the surface and removing or adding coarse aggregates as may be required, after which the entire area shall be rolled, screenings and water applied and rolling continued until the repaired base is compacted to uniform surface. The finished surface shall have no variation greater than 12 mm. (1/2 in) from 3 metre (7ft.) long straight edge laid parallel to the centre line of the road and be true to the typical cross section. 7.48. MULTIPLE LAYERED COURSES. When it is necessary to construct the course in more than one layer to confo0rm to the lines, grades and cross sections indicated on the plans, or ad directed by the Engineer-in -charge, each layer shall be constructed as described above. The same degree of requirement shall be made in forming the surface of all component layers and the smoothness and uniformity of the surface of each layer shall conform closely to the requirement for surface to the final layer. 7.48. SPECIFICATIONS FOR CULVERTS All reinforced cement concrete works shall conform to Standard Specifications and Code of Practice for road bridges section III and II issued by I.R.C. 7.48.1. All Bridge loading etc. will be as per Standard Specifications and Code of Practice for road bridges Section I and II issued by I.R.C. 7.48.2.
