 ABSTRACT

This is learning based training. This is about flexible pavement highway

construction with the process of laying different layer, including lab & site tests for
different layers and aggregates.
Highway is a main road, especially one connecting major towns and cities. IT is any
public and private road or other public way on land. It is used for major roads, but
also includes other public roads and public tracks. In INDIA highways are made by
NHAI
(National Highway Authority of India).
Inhighway, mainly two type of highways construction we use flexible and rigid
pavement. In flexible pavement it have some important layer. The layers are:
subgrade, granular sub base, wet mix macadam, dense mix bitumen macadam,
bitumen concrete mix. Subgrade is natural soil layer under the pavement structure,
in any case, it is a lowest layer of the pavement.Granular-Sub-base is often the main
load-bearing layer of the pavement. Its role is to spread the load evenly over the
subgrade.WMM (Wet Mix Macadam) modern technology- are base course layers
for Pavement/Road design.DBM (Dense Bituminous Macadam) & BC (Bituminous
Concrete) are the top most layers of a Bituminous Top Roads, whose thickness is
determined my MSA &CBR. CBR ranges from 3% to 15 % for Flexible pavement
as per IRC:37–2012.

Final part of the report explain about the conclusions.
