Introduction:
Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) is a binder course used
for roads with more number of heavy commercial vehicles
and a close-graded premix material having a voids content of
5-10 per cent.
Why DBM?
Suitable for all pavement layers and for all traffic conditions.
Sieve % passing
600 m 100
150 m At least 90
75 m >70
BITUMEN:
The bitumen shall be viscosity grade paving bitumen
complying with the Indian Standard specification IS:73.
JOB MIX FORMULA:
While the laboratory mix design gives the different
proportions of the mineral aggregate combinations in terms
of individual sieve sizes, for actual operational purposes in the
field, blending of two or more sizes of aggregate in terms of
weight or volume would be necessary.
The surface shall be thoroughly swept and free from dust and
other materials.
