5.2.3. Construction
The materials for the sub-base course shall be blended at the
crusher lant or be imported pre-blended and shall be placed in a
homogeneous mix of all particle sizes. The sub-base course shall
be constructed in layers. Any layer shall not be less than 75 mm or
no more than 150 mm of compacted thickness. The material, as
spread, shall be of uniform gradation with no pockets of fine or
coarse materials. The sub-base shall not be spread more than 1500
square meters in advance of the rolling.
No sub-base material shall be placed on a soft or muddy underlying
course. Where more than one layer is required, the construction
procedure described herein shall apply similarly to each layer.
During the placing and spreading, sufficient caution shall be
exercised to prevent the incorporation of sub grade or other foreign
material in the sub-base mixture. After spreading, the sub-base
material shall be thoroughly compacted by rolling. Sufficient rollers
shall be furnished to adequately handle the rate placing and
spreading of the sub-base course. Rolling shall progress gradually
from the sides to the center of the lane under construction, or from
one side toward previously placed material, by lapping uniformly
each preceding track by at least 300 mm.
The rolling shall continue until the sub-base material is thoroughly
set and stable, and the sub-base material has been compacted to
not less than 98 percent of maximum dry density at optimum
moisture as determined by modified AASHTO compaction tests.
Blading and rolling shall be done alternately, as required or directed,
to obtain a smooth, uniformly compacted sub base.
When rolling develops irregularities that exceed 10 mm when
tested with a 3 meter straight edge, the irregular surface shall be
loosened and then refilled with sub-base material and again rolled
as required above. When required, the Contractor shall add water in
a uniform spray during sub base coursing operations in order to
provide close to optimum moisture content. Great care must be
taken to ensure excess water is not applied.
Any areas having excess moisture shall be suitably dried out before
further rolling operations. When complete, the sub-base course
shall have a minimum in-situ CBR value, when measured at the
surface, of not less than as specified on the drawings. The finished
surface shall be of a dense uniform mosaic appearance without any
areas of loose stones.
