bitumen and filler content shall be derived using this combined grading. Table 8gives
the mixing, laying and rolling temperature for dense mixes using viscosity grade
In case of modified bitumen, the temperature of mixing and compaction shall be higher
than the mix with viscosity grade bitumen. The exact temperature depends upon the
type and amount of modifier used and shall be adopted as per the recommendations of
the manufacturer. In order to have uniform quality, the plant shall be calibrated from
Rolling must be completed before the mat cools to these minimum temperatures.
Bituminous materials shall be transported in clean insulated and covered vehicles. An
asphalt release agent, such as soap or lime water, may be applied to the interior of the
vehicle to prevent sticking and to facilitate discharge of the material.
Prior to spreading the mix, the base shall be prepared by carrying out the required
operations as per MoRTH-2013 (Fifth revision) Clause 501.8 depending upon the site
conditions. Except in areas where paver cannot get access, bituminous materials shall
be spread, levelled and tamped by an approved self-propelled paving machine
equipped with an electronic sensing device. The essential features of the paver finisher
shall conform to Annex A of IRC:27. As soon as possible after arrival at site, the
materials shall be supplied continuously to the paver and laid without delay. The rate of
delivery of material to the paver shall be regulated to enable the paver to operate
continuously. The travel rate of the paver, and its method of operations, shall be
adjusted to ensure an even and uniform flow of bituminous material across the screed,
free from dragging, tearing and segregation of the material. In areas with restricted
space (such as confined space, foot ways, of irregular shape and varying thickness,
approaches to expansion joints, etc.) where paver cannot be used, the material shall be
spread, raked and leveled with suitable hand tools by trained staff.
The minimum thickness of material laid in each paver pass shall be in accordance with,
the minimum values given in the relevant parts of these Specifications. When laying
binder course or wearing course approaching an expansion joint of a structure,
machine laying shall stop 300 mm short of the joint. The remainder of the pavement up
to the joint, and the corresponding area beyond it, shall be laid by hand, and the joint
or joint cavity shall be kept clear of surfacing material.
Bituminous material, with a temperature greater than 145°C, shall not be laid or
deposited on bridge deck water-proofing systems, unless precautions against heat
Bituminous material shall be kept clean and uncontaminated. The only traffic permitted
to run on bituminous material to be overlaid shall be that engaged in laying and
compacting the next course or, where a binder course is to be sealed or surface
dressed, that engaged on such surface treatment. Should any bituminous material
become contaminated, the Contractor shall make it good to the satisfaction of the
Engineer, in compliance with MoRTH-2013 (Fifth revision) Clause 501.8.
Binder course material shall be covered by either the wearing course or surface
treatment, whichever is specified in the Contract.
Rolling and Compaction
Bituminous materials shall be laid and compacted in layers, which enable the specified
thickness, surface level, regularity requirements and compaction to be achieved.
Compaction of bituminous materials shall commence as soon as possible after laying.
Compaction shall be substantially completed before the temperature falls below the
minimum rolling temperatures stated in the relevant part of these Specifications. Rolling
of the longitudinal joints shall be done immediately behind the paving operation. After
this, rollingshall commence at the edges and progress towards the center longitudinally
except that on super-elevated and unidirectionaly cambered portions, it shall progress
from the lower to the upper edge parallel to the center line of the pavement. Rolling
shall continue until all roller marks have been removed from the surface. All deficiencies
in the surface after laying shall be made good by the attendants behind the paver,
before initial rolling is commenced. The initial or breakdown rolling shall be done with
8-10 tonne static weight smooth-wheel rollers. The intermediate rolling shall be done
with 8-10 tonne static weight or vibratory roller or witha pneumatic tyre roller of 12 to
15 tonne weight, with a tyre pressure of at least 0.56 MPa.The Contractor shall
demonstrate the efficiency of the equipment proposed to be used bycarrying
compaction trials. The procedure for site trials shall be submitted to the Engineerfor
approval. The finish rolling shall be done with 6 to 8 tonne smooth wheel tandem
rollers. Rolling shall continue until the specified compaction is achieved.
Where compaction is to be determined by density of cores, the requirements to prove
the performance of rollers shall apply in order to demonstrate that the specified density
can be achieved. In such cases the Contractor shall specify the plant, and the method
by which he intends to achieve the specified level of compaction and finish at
temperatures above the minimum specified rolling temperature. Laying trials shall then
demonstrate the acceptability of the plant and method used.
Bituminous materials shall be rolled in a longitudinal direction, with the driven rolls
nearest the paver. The roller shall first compact material adjacent to joints and then
work from the lower to the upper side of the layer, overlapping on successive passes by
at least one-third of the width of the rear roll or, in the case of a pneumatic-tyred
roller, at least the nominal width of 300 mm.
In portions with super-elevated and unidirectional camber, after the edge has been
rolled, theroller shall progress from the lower to the upper edge.
Rollers should move at a speed of not more than 5 km per hour. The roller shall not be
permittedto stand on pavement which has not been fully compacted, and necessary
precautions shallbe taken to prevent dropping of oil, grease, petrol, diesel or other
foreign matter on thepavement either when the rollers are operating or standing. The
wheels of roller machineshall be in good working order, to prevent the mix from
adhering to the Wheels. Only sufficientmoisture to prevent adhesion between the
wheels of rollers and the mix should be used.Surplus water shall not be allowed to
stand on the partially compacted pavement.
Where joints are made, the material shall be fully compacted and the jointmade flush in
one of the following ways:
A. All joints shall be cut vertical to the full thickness of the previously
laidmix. All loosened material shall be discarded and the vertical
facecoated with a suitable viscosity grade hot bitumen, or cold
appliedemulsified bitumen. While spreading the material along the joint
thematerial spread shall overlap 25 mm to 50 mm on the previously
laidmix beyond the vertical face of the joint. The thickness of the
looseoverlap material should be approximately a quarter more than the
finalcompacted thickness. The overlapped mix shall be dragged back to
thehot lane so that the roller can press the small excess into the hot side
of the joint to obtain a high joint density.
B. By using two or more pavers operating in echelon, where this
ispracticable and in sufficient proximity for adjacent widths to be
fullycompacted by continuous rolling.
All longitudinal joints shall be offset at least 300 mm from parallel joints in the layer
beneath or as directed, and in a layout approved by the Engineer. Joints in the wearing
course shall coincide with either the lane edge or the lane marking, whichever is
appropriate. Longitudinal joints shall not be situated in wheel track zones.
For transverse joints methodA above shall apply. Transverse joints in thesuccessive and
adjoining layers shall have a minimum offset of 2 m.
The compaction process shall be carried out by the same plant, and using the same
method, as approved in the laying trials.
