Road Materials: Asphalt Layer

Flexible pavements distribute loads to the subgrade while rigid pavements distribute to the base course. Asphalt layers include a 50mm wearing/surface course and binder course. With an existing 80mm asphalt, a 20mm binder is needed. For new pavement, a prime coat treats the aggregate base before the binder and wearing courses. An emulsified tack coat is used between existing concrete and asphalt layers. Drainage design requires hydrologic analysis using rainfall data and catchment areas from ArcGIS to calculate discharge via the Rational Method. Culverts are sized based on a design discharge meeting or exceeding a culvert's capacity. Retaining walls are typically used for excavations 5-6m deep

ROAD MATERIALS

ASPHALT LAYER

ITEM 201

AGGREGATE ITEM 200


LAYER

Difference between Flexible Pavement and Rigid Pavement in terms of Loading:

1. Flexible Pavement - Asphalt pavement, the load distribution is until the sub-grade.
2. Rigid Pavement – Ordinary pavement, the load distribution is until the base course.

2 Types of Asphalt Layer

● Wearing/Surface Course & Binder Course - 50mm (thickness)

● Wearing Course - has anti rotting, it protects the asphalt

Thickness of the existing asphalt is 80mm and the binder course must be 20mm.

Process of Coating (NO EXISTING PCCP)

1. Prime coat – Only used when there is no existing PCCP (Portland Cement Concrete Pavement), it
is used to treat aggregate (granular). Since the aggregate bindings at the top of base course
layer are very weak, Prime coat is placed to increase the binding strength of the base course.
Also, the prime coat prevents water from base course from rising up at the asphalt layer. When
the prime coat is already dried, the binder course will be laid.
2. Tack Coat – Also used to increase the binding of the binder course and the surface course. When
the Tack coat is already dried, the wearing or surface course (50mm) will be laid.
3. Seal coat - a final coat of bituminous material applied at surface course. Sealcoating protects
and prolongs the life expectancy of asphalt pavement by filling surface damage such as holes
and providing a protective layer to keep out from damaging fluids such as water (water-proofing
layer), chemicals etc. It could also be used for flexible pavement maintenance, a non-skidding
surface that provides good friction between tires and the road.
- Due to budget constriction, its ok to use existing pavement that is directed by asphalt,
emulsified asphalt then wearing course and anti-rotting. Binder course is not included as it is
expensive.
Process of Coating when there is an existing PCCP – Portland Cement Concrete Pavement

1. Tack Coat

What type of Tack Coat will be put after the existing PCCP? Why?

● In the case of road design of DPWH, the top most layer of the existing PCCP will be sprayed by
Emulsified Tack Coat or Emulsified Asphalt.
2. Emulsified Asphalt (Tack Coat)
3. Wearing Course - has anti rotting, it protects the asphalt and prevents tire-markings.

Drainage and Slope Protection

1. Unsay makuha nga mga parameters kung mag perform ug hydrologic analysis?
➢ Weather Rainfall Data (Rainfall Analysis) - intensity
➢ Rational Method (ciA/3.6)
➢ catchment area - ma solve ang discharge

2. If mag design ka ug drainage or culvert (either box or pipe), unsa diay steps nga buhaton nimo
nga para okay uhm kani nga area dani kay kaya ni siya sa 9/10. Ngano kaingon ka nga 9-10,
3x3, or 4x4 nga box culvert or pipe culvert So, unsa diay steps?

➢ Analysis (Hydraulic and Hydrology)


➢ Hydrologic is diha ta makakuha ug catchment area para makabalo ta kung pila ang
capacity nga musulod sa pipe which is ang gamiton nga software is ang ArcGIS. Need
kaayo ang catchment area.
➢ Rational Method - kani ang method ginagamit para makakuha sa discharge nga atong
kuhaon para makabalo ta nga this structure kay 9-10 kay naa naman software gamiton.
Formula of the Rational Method is CIA/3.6. Which ang I is rainfall intensity so need tong
data from PAGASA para sa precipitation sa intensity niya. A is the area. Pasabot ani nga
area is the catchment area or the area sa tubig nga masulod sa inyong structure. So
makuha nata ug discharge ana. And i-compare dayun na nato sa atong capacity (Design
vs Capacity). Which is ang capacity dadto mag compare sa RIDF sa PAGASA. Need nato
na sila mahibaw an kay mao mana sila ang basic na method sa designing sa culvert.
❖ Hydrologic
❖ Rational Method (Discharge.Need para maka kuan sa size sa mga culvert)
➔ CIA/3.6. I= intensity from the RIDF, A= catchment area nga makuha sa
ArcGIS kung mag analysis nata. Makakuha na dayon discharge then ma
compare na dayun sa capacity. Design vs Capacity. Mabal an na dayon if
makaya naba.

3. Pila ang height sa excavation or sa existing nga yuta para makaingon ta ug butangan nato nig
retaining wall dari nga area?
● Pwede ra 5 meters pero halosa 6 up meters.
4. Pila ang slope sa berming?
● 1:1 Ratio (45 degrees)
● One factor to stabilize the soil is berming
● Ang 3 layers is naka 1:1

Possible Mugawas sa Oral

● Minimum Pipe Diameter = nine ten mm. 610 mm is for lateral pipe. Dli gagamit 610 kay gamay
rasad. Maximum is 1220. If mulahos na ana, ga box culvert na dayon
● When gamiton ang manhole? ugma
● When magamit si catch basin
● When gamiton si Reinforced Line Canal
● What is Rational Methodnaa
● Steps on how to get catchment area on ArcGIS ( you can search sa youtube)
● If naay analysis si drainage, naa sad si slope protection (basin mugawas sa oral)
● Unsay steps sa pag design sa slope protection
