Rectification of Damage Wearing Course

Materials
The major materials used for rectification of defective wearing course, but are not limited to the following.

  • CRS 1
  • Asphalt


Equipment

The major equipment used for rectification of defective wearing course, but are not limited to the following.

  • Asphalt cutter
  • Double drum roller
  • PTR
  • Lorry


      Safety Management and Control

Safety precaution will be taken complying with the Road Work Traffic Control Manual. Every precautions will be taken avoid any damages to adjoining properties. 


Method and Procedures

Following procedure will be used to rectify the damaged wearing course.

The locations of the defective places will be observed and find out jointly with Engineer.

Then the cut wearing course to a width of 500 mm using Asphalt cutter and remove existing wearing course.

The cutting to be done continually to include all small patches ( cracks ) as to suit site condition.

The tack coat will be spread evenly and lay hot mix asphalt according to the slope and levels.


Then the steel plate roller and PTR applying consequently to get the required density.

CRACK TREATMENT OF THE ASPHALT BINDER COURSE

Image
  Main Break Water(MBW) access road occurs several cracks on the asphalt binder course. The road cracks are monitored and investigated with specialist from RDA Research & Development. This report describes the reason and remedial method of the cracks based on the investigation and consultation. MBW access road structure consists of fallowing cross section and the core samples have been taken on the cracks. According to core sample data, can be observed that the crack was started from CBM and reflected to the binder course surface. CRACK INVESTIGATION The crack survey carried out for the entire road and investigation detail summarized as an attached sheet. Core samples were taken from the jointly selected locations with the engineer. MBW access road cracks were categorized into two types based on crack surface appearance. Transverse cracks Longitudinal cracks

Field Density Test

Image
  The sand cone method is used for field density test in our highway construction. In the field, the dry density test is carried out for check the compaction of layers. Compaction is most useful for the preparation of sub base grade and other pavement layers and in construction of embankment in order to increase the stability and to decrease settlement. In field compaction, the compacting moisture content is first controlled at optimum moisture content and the adequacy of rolling or compaction is controlled by checking the dry density achieved and comparing with the maximum dry density. Base layer-98% Sub base layer-98% Type 1 layer-95% ABC layer-100% Road shoulder- 98% Field density test Testing procedure: The weight of empty sand cone is measured and then filled with dry sand and weighted. The soil excavated from the hole is collected and weighted. After weighting, a specimen of soil is taken to determine it water content. The sand cone is placed on the
