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) 2
TYPES OF PAVEMENTS
There are various types of pavements depending upon the materials used; a
briefs description of all types is given here-
FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
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. Preparation of Base
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).
2. Preparation of Sub-grade
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.

3. Formwork
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.
4. Watering of Base
If base is dry, then using the sprinkling process on it properly after that
placing the concrete.
7
5. Joints
Where is necessary to provide
transverse, Longitudinal joints; there wedge of
woods, metals fix on level of concrete.
After setting of concrete it should be pull
out.
If provided the dowel bar in joints, bars
should be fit at right position.
8
6. 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.

7. COMPACTION
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
8. 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.
10
2.Belting-
For making surface clean used belting
process. Belt is nothing but a 15-30cm thick
sheets of canvass which have more length than
road.
3. Brooming-
Brooming is the process in which we made
rough surface parallel to road by brush. It useful
in avoiding slip & comfortable travelling on road.
11
9. Curing
Curing is the name of increasing the hydration process
of cement.
After setting the concrete , curing process done
till 14-28days.
10. Filling Joint

After drying road, clean the joints and fill the
shelling compound or hot bitumen .
12
12
11. Edging
To protect damaging the sides of concrete
pavements used over burnt brick work.
in place of brick, provided kerb of pre mix
concrete.
12. Open to Traffic

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