GRANULAR SUB BASE CONSTRUCTION

1. Scope

This item of work deals with construction of Granular sub base with approved
materials as per the terms of contract agreement and shall be dealt in compliance to
the clause 401 of specifications.

The construction shall confirm to the specific alignment, lines and grades given in
the drawing.

The material used in Granular sub base shall be crusher, Natural or Combined.

2. Procedure

1. The toe line and centre line are marked and pegs will be driven.

2. The material shall be dumped in site at respective location.

3. The material shall be spread in layers of uniform thickness not exceeding 200
mm compacted thicknesses over the entire width of the subgrade by
mechanical means and will be graded with grader to the required camber.

4. Moisture content of the material shall be checked and extra required will be
added.

5. The moisture content of each layer shall be checked and it should be with in
the range of OMC +1% to OMC -2 percent. If moisture content is found out of
these limits the same will be brought within limits by addition of water or by
aeration as the case may be.

6. The compaction shall be done with the help of vibratory roller of 8 to 10 ton
static weight. Layer shall be thoroughly compacted to the densities specified in
the specifications which are mentioned at the end of this document for
reference. The rolling pattern will be finalized in trial stretch.

7. On compaction of the particular stretch necessary field testing shall be carried


out Field density shall be done in the manner and frequency as specified below.

8. If the required field density is not achieved, compaction shall be continued till
required density is achieved.

9. Loose pockets if any will be removed and replaced with approved material. The
top levels shall be checked and shall be within +10mm to -20mm of designed
level.
