TYPES OF PAVEMENTS
There are various types of pavements depending upon the materials used;
abriefs description of all types is given here-
FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
Bitumen has been widely used in the construction of flexible pavements for
a long time.
• Have low flexural strength
• Load is transferred by grain to grain contact
• Have low completion cost but repairing cost is high
• Have low life span (High Maintenance Cost)
RIGID PAVEMENT
• Rigid pavements, though costly in initial investment, are cheap in long run
because of low maintenance costs.
• Deformation in the sub grade is not transferred to subsequent layers. Have
high flexural strength.
• No such phenomenon of grain to grain load transfer exists.
• Life span is more as compare to flexible (Low Maintenance Cost).
RIGID PAVEMENTS
• Pavements usually constructed using plain or unreinforced cement
concrete slabs having high flexural strength.
• It serves as good and durable wearing surface as well as an effective and
strong base course of highway pavements.
• Deflection is very small hence it is given name as rigid pavement.
WHERE ARE RIGID PAVEMENT
PROVIDED?
• Rigid pavements are usually provided when road is subjected to
adverse conditions:
• Very heavy rainfall.
• Poor soil conditions
• Poor drainage
• Extreme climatic conditions
• Combinations of some of these conditions which may lead to
development of cracks in pavements.
MINERALS USED
Cement
Ordinary Portland cement (OPC)
• Ordinary Portland cement and High Strength Ordinary Portland Cement
are most widely used for concrete pavements.
Aggregates
• There are two types of Aggregates are used during construction of road
i.e.Fine and Coarse Aggregate depending on requirements.
Water
• Water used in mixing or curing of concrete shall be clean and free from
injurious amounts of oil, salt, acid, vegetable matter or other substances
harmful to the finished concrete.
PROCEDURE OF MAKING RIGID PAVEMENT
Site Preparation
• Before construction begins, the construction site must be carefully
prepared, This includes preparing the grade or road base, sub grade and
sub base.
Construction Process
• After site preparation, Construction process consists of various steps,
which are described below-
FORM WORK
• Wooden sheets, battens, plywood, fibre hard board, steel plates, angles,
rope etc are generally use for form work.
• before using form work, it should free from all type material like as dust
,cement.
• To placing the concrete in appropriate depth used 2.5-5cm thick and 3mtr
long wooden sheeting
• The depth of wooden block must be same as level of slab thick.
• After 24hrs, form work displaced next length of road.
Watering of base
• If the base of the road is dry or construction is taken place during
summer seasons.
• Then watering is done using the sprinkling process, after this concrete
should be Placed.
MATERIAL MIXING AND PLACING OF CONCRETE
• Mixer is equipment that mix the concrete using distinct amount of cement
, concrete, sand and water. There are two type of mixer generally used
during construction,
• Batch mixer- used for small road construction
• Continuous mixer- used for large construction .
PLACING OF CONCRETE
Two methods generally used in placing of concrete-
1- Alternate bay method-
• Placed the concrete on both side of road alternatively like as1,3,5… part at
one side and 2,4,6… part other side, This method have slow process due
to road traffic
problems.
2- Continuous bay method-
• Construct one side of road regularly, and after construction of some part
of first side than construct other side, this method have fast process
without no obstruction of traffic.
COMPACTION OF CONCRETE
• Purpose of compaction is that to pull out air from void and make concrete
harden.
Compaction done by-
• 1.Mechanically surface vibrator
• 2. Manually hand tempers
• After this, Floating, Belting, Screeding or strike off, Bull floating and
Brooming is done as per requirement for the finishing purpose of concrete
pavement to smoothen the top surface.
CURING
• After completion of the finishing operations, the surface of the pavement
shall be entirely covered with wet hessian cloth, burlap or jute mats
Curing is the process of increasing the hydration of cement, after setting
the concrete curing process done till 14-28days.
GRADER COMPACTION VIBRATORY ROLLER
TYPE OF JOINT IN CC PAVEMENT
• Longitudinal joints ( parallel to traffic flow).
• Transverse joints ( perpendicular to traffic flow)
a) Contraction joints
b) Expansion joints.
