2 -Materials

Kerbs and kerb with channel shall be provided in cement concrete of Grade M 20.

3 -Type of Construction

These shall be cast-in-situ construction with suitable kerb casting machine in all situations except at locations where continuous casting with equipment is not practicable. In those locations precast concrete blocks shall be used.

4 -Equipment

A continuous kerb casting equipment of adequate capacity and controls, capable of laying the kerbs in required cross-sections and producing a well-compacted mass of concrete free of voids and honeycombs, shall be used.

5 -Construction Operations

(I) Kerb shall be laid on firm foundation of minimum 150 mm thickness of cement concrete of M 15 grade cast in-situ or on extended width of pavement. The foundation shall have a projection of 50 mm beyond the kerb stone. Before laying the foundation of lean concrete, the base shall be leveled and slightly watered to make it damp.

(II) In the median portions in the straight reaches, the kerb shall be cast n continuous lengths. In the portions where footpath is provided and/or the slope of the :carriageway is towards median (as in case of superelevated portion), there shall be sufficient gap/recess left in the kerb to facilitate drainage openings.

(III) After laying the kerbs and just prior to hardening of the concrete, saw grooves shall be provided at 5 m intervals up to finished road level or as specified by the Engineer.
(IV) Kerbs on the drainage ends such as along the footpath or the median in superelevated portions, shall be cast with monolithic concrete channels as indicated drawings. The slope of the channel towards drainage pipes shall be ensured for efficie: drainage of the road surface.

(V) Vertical and horizontal tolerances with respect to true line and level shall 6 mm.

6- Measurements for Payment

Cement concrete kerb/kerb with channel including foundation shall be measured in lines metre for the complete item of work.

7 - Rate

The Contract unit rates for cement concrete kerb/kerb with channel including foundation for kerb shall be payment in full compensation for furnishing all materials, labour, tools, equipmer for construction and other incidental cost necessary to complete the work.

Granular Sub-base Base (GSB) quantity / Compaction Factor value and / Loose thickness of GSB Layer

In this article we shall discuss three important points about granular sub base (GSB) 1- How can we calculate the required GSB quantity? 2 - What is value of compaction factor for GSB? 3- How much loose thickness of GSB should be taken to get proper compacted layer thickness ? 1- How can we calculate the required GSB quantity? Let us consider Length of GSB bed (L) = 500 Met. Breadth of GSB bed (B) = 7 Met. Thickness of GSB Layer (T) = 150 mm =0.150 Met. Max. Dry Density (MDD) =2.221 Gram/ Cubic Centimeter = 2221Kg/ Cubic metre Note - The value of MDD is calculated by conducting proctor density test as per IS 2720 (part -28) : 1983 (Reaffirmed - May 2015). Then Volume of GSB Layer = ( Length of GSB Bed X Width of GSB Bed X Thickness of GSB Layer) Volume of GSB Layer = L X B X T Volume of GSB Layer = 500 X 7 X 0.150 Volume of GSB Layer = 525 Cubic Metre We Know That Mass = Volume X Density in this case - Mass = Volume X MDD Putting

Difference between nominal mix and design mix of concrete

Difference between nominal mix and design mix of concrete - Concrete is most extensively used mix to achieve desired properties of structure. There are two methods to prepare the concrete mix. 1-Nominal mix 2- Design mix Nominal mix - Nominal mix specifies the fix proportion of the cement , sand and aggregates. Ingredients of concrete are mixed on the basis of volume. It is a site level mixing of ingredients to prepare concrete mix. Such type of concrete mix is generally used in small quantity or where load is not high. There are many grade of nominal mix concrete like M-5, M-7.5, M-10, M-15 and M-20. In above grades of concrete mix the letter 'M' refers to Mix where as the value like 5,7.5,10,15 etc indicates the compressive characteristic strength of concrete after 28 days in specified conditios. Unit of this compressive characteristic strength of concrete is Newton /mm 2. The ratio of various grade of concrete is being given below - M-5
