    Proforma For Record of Test Values of Locally Available Pavement Construction Materials

    This document is the introduction to IRC:42-1972, which provides standard proformas (forms) for recording test values and details of locally available pavement construction materials in India. It was developed by the Soil Research Committee to help systematically survey and evaluate local materials for use in road projects. There are three proformas for hard aggregates, low-grade aggregates, and soil-gravel mixtures. The proformas are meant to aid design engineers in assessing materials and estimating costs, and reference appropriate Indian and international testing standards. Sampling should involve examining sources, subdividing variable materials into classes, and taking three specimens from each sample to complete a proforma.

    PROFORMA FOR RECORD OF TEST
    VALUES OF LOCALLY AVAILABLE
    PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

    1. INTRODUCTION

    1.1 There is need for carrying out extensive surveys


    of locally available pavement construction materials with a
    view to their optimal utilisation in road projects and achieving
    greater economy in construction costs. For making best
    use of information from such surveys, it is essential that the
    sampling anti testing of materials, as also recording of test
    results, be done in a systematic manner without omitting
    any important aspect.
    1.2 Towards this end, the Soil Research Committee
    (now called Soil Engineering Committee) personnel given
    below, had developed certain standard Proforma for
    recording test results and other relevant particulars of the
    pavement construction materials. These have been vetted
    further by the Specifications and Standards Committee
    in their meetings held on the 8th December, 1970 and
    18th & 19th November, 1971 and approved by the Executive
    Committee in their meeting held on the 26th and 27th April
    1972. Later, the Standard was approved by the Council at
    their 78th meeting held at Nainital on the 10th July, 1972.

    1.3 The Proforma are intended for application at the
    pre-specifications stage by way of guidance to the survey
    and design staff and not for purpose of quality control during
    construction.

    2. SCOPE

    2.1 The Proforma recommended relate to locally


    available pavement construction materials such as road
    stones, slag, low-grade aggregates and soil-gravel
    mixtures. There are three separate Proforma, I to III, as
    under:
    Proforma I: For record of test values of hard aggregates;
    Proforma II: For record of test values of low-grade/soft
    aggregates; and
    Proforma III: For record of test values of naturally occurring
    soil-gravel/moorum mixtures.

    3. NOTES ON THE USE OF PROFORMA

    3.1 The Proforma are meant essentially to aid the


    design engineer in evaluation of locally available materials
    for incorporation in different pavement courses and, in
    addition, framing of realistic cost estimates. Accordingly,
    these have been developed with an eye on the
    specifications generally in use.
    3.2 For proper correlation, the Proforma should be
    accompanied by an index map drawn to a suitable scale.
    On this map, the material sources should be distinctly
    marked. The map should also show existing haul roads for
    working out costs.

    4. SAMPLING AND TESTING

    4.1 Before extracting samples, the material source


    should be closely examined and subdivided into groups
    as necessary, depending on variability of the material, so
    that representative samples may be obtained from each.
    For each class of material three specimens should be
    taken from each sample, preferably by quartering, and the
    requisite tests performed for completing the Proforma.
    4.2 To have uniformity in testing, reference has been
    drawn in the Proforma to relevant Standards of Indian
    Standards Institution, British Standards Institution or Indian
    Roads Congress as applicable.
