PATCHING :-
• Patching is the process of filling potholes or deteriorated
parts of asphalt pavements. Potholes and other pavement
disintegration should be repaired as soon as possible to
prevent additional degradation and costly pavement repairs.
• Repair of bituminous works includes:-
1. Removal of all deteriorated material of the pavement
courses until the root cause of the failure is identified.
2. Trimming of the excavated sides to provide firm vertical
faces.
3. Replacement of material with the standard which was
BENEFITS OF PATCHING:-
1.By addressing problem areas on the pavement as early as possible, it
will be possible to save money by delaying or preventing more
expensive repairs.
2. Prevents complete deterioration
3. Saves cost
4. Encourages tourism
5. Limits accidents
6. Reduces congestion
PREPARATION OF PAVEMENT FOR
PATCHING:-
1.Each pothole and patch repair area shall be inspected, and all loose
material shall be removed.
2.The area shall be cut/trimmed either with jackhammers or with hand
tools, such that all the defective material responsible for the failure is
removed and in a regular shape.
3.The excavation pit area must be cut vertically.
4.The area shall be thoroughly cleaned with compressed air to remove
all dust and loose particles.
5. The layers below the level of the bituminous construction must be replaced with
material that meets the same specifications as the original construction, including the
required compaction criteria.
6. Depending on whether the lower area is bituminous or granular, the area
for bituminous construction will be tacked or primed with cutback or emulsion.
7. The sides must be painted with hot tack coat material.
• Laying of Bituminous Mixture:-
1.The mixture to be used in bituminous patching shall be either a cold mix or a hot mix.
2.The mixing shall be done in a plant of suitable capacity.
3.The bituminous mixture shall be placed in layers not more than 100 mm thick and
shall be compacted in layers with a hand roller/plate compactor/rammer to the
required compaction.
4.While placing the top layer, the mix shall be laid slightly proud of the surface so that
after compaction, the surface shall be in level with the adjoining surface.
5.If the patch area is large, the spreading and leveling shall be done using band
shovels and straight wooden edges.
6.During the compaction, the surface levels shall be checked using a 3 m straight
edge.
PROFILE CORRECTION :-
• Profile correction is a process used to correct the cross-slope
(crown) deficiency of an existing pavement .
• It is also used to maintain vertical clearance or curb height .
• The process involves milling the existing pavement surface to
correct its profile . This is done by removing a thin layer of
the pavement surface to achieve the desired profile . The
corrected profile is then used as a base for further pavement
construction or overlay .
• The existing pavement should be made as smooth as possible before being
overlaid. It is difficult to make up elevation differences or smooth out ruts by
varying overlay thickness.
• Leveling courses (or relevel) are initial lifts placed directly on to the existing
pavement to fill low spots in the pavement (Figure 2). Typically, pavers use
an automatic screed control, which keeps the screed tow point constant
regardless of the tractor unit vertical position. This allows the paver to drive
over a rough, uneven pavement yet place a relatively smooth lift with extra
HMA making up for low spots in the existing pavement.
• Leveling course lifts need to be as thick as the
deepest low spot but not so thick that they are
difficult to compact. Because it is not the
final wearing course, leveling course elevation
and grade are sometimes not tightly specified
or controlled. However, contractors and
inspectors alike should pay close attention to
leveling course thickness because an
excessively thick leveling course can lead to
large overruns in HMA and thus large overruns
in project budget.
• Although leveling courses can help produce a
smoother pavement, they suffer from
discussed differential compaction and
therefore may not entirely solve the
smoothness problem.
