The Public Works Department
establish in the year 1854. At that
time PWD was responsible for the
construction of
roads,buildings,railways as well as
flood control,irrigation and military

 INTRODUCT
PAVEMENT-
ION
Pavement is load
bearing and load distributery
component of a road.

PURPOSE OF PAVEMENT-

1. Load support.
2. Smoothness.
3. Drainage.
4. All weather operation.
5. Direction and guidance.
 TYPES OF PAVEMENT STRUCTURE

1. Flexible Pavement. (Hot mix asphalt

(HMA) pavements)

2. Rigid Pavement. (Portland cement concrete

(PCC) pavements)
 Components of flexible
pavement.

1. Soil Subgrade.
2. Sub Base Course.
3. Base Course.
4. Surface Course.
 Construction of Subgrade

Materials- Selected Soil , Moorum , Gravel ,

Aggregate maximum 50 mm.

Construction Method

The subgrade is constructed by spreading the

loose soil and compacting the same at optimum
moisture content of the soil in layer.

The maximum compacted thickness of each

layer is generally limited to 200 mm as per
MORTH.
 Construction of Sub base
Course (GSB)
Material used- Crushed stone Aggregates,
Gravel, Coarse sand , Selected soil with less
fine and low plasticity.

CONSTRUCTION METHOD GSB layer is

constructed on the top of the prepared
subgrade . The sub-base material is spread to
uniform thickness and spesific cross slope .
Then the moisture content of the material is
checked and additional quantity of water
required to bring up to the optimum moisture
content is sprinkled at a uniform rate. The

prepared in a mixing plant.
The WMM mix is transported to the site
and spread using self propelled type paver
finisher machine.
WMM layer is compacted using a vibratory
roller of minimum static weight of 10
tonnes.and compacted thickness in less
than 200mm. After the WMM layer is dried

layers

Three types of bituminous

layers-

1. Bituminous Macadam.
2. Penetration Macadam.
 Bituminous
Macadam
It consist of crushed aggregate and
bituminous binder heated and mixed
in a hot mix plant at specified
temperature , transported to the
construction site, laid with a mechanical
pawer and compacted by roller.

Material used : Bitumen binder of

grade VG -30,20 and Max size of
aggregate 50mm.
 Bituminous Penetration
Macadam Base Course

The coarse aggregate of

specified size are first spread
and compacted well in dry state.
Compected thickness 50-75 mm.
After compacting of dry
aggregates, hot bituminous
binder of specified grade is
spread in large quantity on the
top of this layer. Filling up a part

It consist of a two layer composite
construction of compacted crushed
stone aggregate with bituminous
binder applied after each layer and
key aggregate placed on the top
surface of the second layer.
