1. Components -
a. WBM -
i. Coarse Aggregates ( 90 mm - 45 mm for sub-base course) &
(63 mm - 4 mm & 53 mm - 22.4 mm for base course) Hand broken aggregate
can be used.
ii. Screenings - Stone/Gravel/Moorum - Fraction passing 75
micron sieve < 10 %, LL << 20 & PI << 6
iii. Binder Material - Fine grained material with PI << 6
b. WMM -
i. Aggregates need to be crusher run - Grading 1 (53 mm - 75
micron) for layer thickness greater ≥≥ 100 mm & Grading 2 for layer
thickness << 100 mm (26.5 mm - 75 micron)
ii. OMC varies between 2 % - 6%
2. Construction Sequence -
a. WBM - Each component is laid in a phased manner
i. Spreading of coarse aggregates by templates or motor graders,
and, and compaction using 80–100 kN roller
ii. Screening is applied in three or more successive layers, to fill
the voids in CA, accompanied with brooming & dry rolling (80–100 kN roller)
iii. Water is sprinkled & wet screenings are distributed evenly &
forced into the voids by brooming & rolling.
iv. Binding material is applied in two or more successive layers,
followed by sprinkling of water, and the resultant slurry is swept into the voids
by brooming & rolling (80–100 kN roller)
b. WMM - All components are pre-mixed in mixing plants
i. WMM is prepared in mixing plants, having MC slightly greater
than OMC, accounting for transit/evaporation losses
ii. Mix is spread by a self propelled paver finisher, and in case of
multi-layer construction bottom layer may be spread using motor graders.
iii. Rolling is done using roller having minimum static weight =
100 kN
TL;DR -
