A highway pavement is a structure consisting of superimposed layers of processed materials above the natural soil sub-grade, whose primary function is to distribute the applied vehicle loads to the sub-grade. The pavement structure should be able to provide a surface of acceptable riding quality, adequate skid resistance, favorable light reflecting characteristics, and low noise pollution.

Cement concrete is a composite material consisting of a binding material (cement or lime), aggregates (fine and coarse), water, and admixtures. The cement and water form a paste that coats the aggregates and binds them together. Concrete can be classified based on its constituents, method of production, place of casting, and bulk density. Proper curing is important for concrete to gain strength and hardness through hydration. Common curing methods include water curing, membrane curing, and steam curing. The water-cement ratio significantly impacts concrete strength, with lower ratios producing stronger concrete.

Lightweight concrete uses lightweight aggregates to reduce density compared to normal concrete. It is used to reduce structural loads and transport/handling costs. High density concrete uses heavy aggregates like iron or lead to increase density above 2600 kg/m3. It is used for radiation shielding, counterweights, and seawalls. Shotcrete is concrete sprayed at high velocity through a hose. It is used for tunnel linings and slopes due to its ability to coat any surface. Fibers are added to concrete to increase crack resistance and tensile strength. Different fiber types include steel, glass, and polymers.

CoVID-19 sprang up in Wuhan China in November 2019 and was declared a pandemic by the in January 2020 World Health Organization (WHO). Like the Spanish flu of 1918 that claimed millions of lives, the COVID-19 has caused the demise of thousands with China, Italy, Spain, USA and India having the highest statistics on infection and mortality rates. Regardless of existing sophisticated technologies and medical science, the spread has continued to surge high. With this COVID-19 Management System, organizations can respond virtually to the COVID-19 pandemic and protect, educate and care for citizens in the community in a quick and effective manner. This comprehensive solution not only helps in containing the virus but also proactively empowers both citizens and care providers to minimize the spread of the virus through targeted strategies and education.

Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

9. Bituminous Pavement Construction
Bitumen
• Distillation of petroleum crude oil
• Hydrocarbon of high molecular weight
• Form can be gaseous, liquid, semisolid or solid
Tar
• Destructive distillation of coal or wood
• More temperature sensitive than bitumen
• Carcinogenic material

11. Bituminous Pavement Construction
• Hot mix technique – Bitumen require proper
heating to attain viscosity before mixing with
aggregates
• Cold mix technique – Cutback and emulsion
do not require heating of the binder

12. General Construction Procedure
1. Formation of subgrade soil

replaced with good soil (2 layers of 25 cm thick is
compacted)

21. Penetration Type
Penetration Macadam
– Used as a base course
– Broken stones are dry compacted
– Hot bituminous binder is sprayed at the top
– Bitumen penetrate into the voids of aggregates
and bind the aggregates together
• Full grout and Half grout
21
22. Penetration Type
Built-up spray grout
– Two layers of composite construction rolled aggregates
– Each layer of compacted crushed stone is applied with
bituminous binder at a rate of 12.5 to 15 kg/m2
– After the second application of binder, key aggregates
are spread and rolled
– An initial tack coat is applied
before the first layer of coarse
aggregates

Bituminous Macadam (BM)
– Used as a base course
– Crushed aggregates premixed with bitumen in a
hot mix plant at specified temperature
– Laid at hot in compacted thickness of 75 mm or 50
mm thickness
– Depending upon the gradation, it can be open
graded or semi dense BM

Bituminous Concrete (BC)/Asphaltic Concrete
(AC)

– Mix design for a dense mixture of coarse
aggregate, fine aggregate, mineral filler and
bitumen
– 40 mm thick AC surface course for highway
pavement (IRC)

28. Premix pavement
Mastic Asphalt (MA)
– Used as a pavement surface course of high quality for
bridge deck
– Mixture of fine aggregate, mineral filler and bitumen
– Each component is heated and cooked at a
temperature of 200 to 223o C for over 5 hrs.
– On cooling, it hardens to semi-solid or solid state
– Without compaction itself an impervious surface can
be obtained
– 25 mm to 50 mm thick

HOT MIX
METHODS
45. Cold Mix Techniques
Bituminous emulsions
• A mixture of emulsifiers and fine bitumen droplets(as
suspended particles) in water.
• Emulsifiers add charge to droplets and keeps them in
suspension
• Bitumen droplets having high affinity to aggregates,
make a quick and strong bond with aggregates, once
applied on road surface
• Water then evaporates
45
46. Cold Mix Techniques (Contd)
Bituminous emulsions – Types
Based on setting time
Slow setting (SS)
Medium setting (MS)
Rapid setting (RS)
Based on surface charge
Anionic Bitumen Emulsion
Cationic Bitumen Emulsion
46
47. Cold Mix Techniques (Contd.)
Bituminous emulsions – Advantages
• Can be used in wet weather even if it is raining.
• Eco-friendly as it is water based.
• Used in soil stabilization in desert areas.
• No need of extra heating while placing.
• No wastage in placing and laying of bitumen.
• Anti-stripping properties.
• Rapid setting type of emulsion are used in surface of roads.
• Medium setting type of emulsion are used in premixing of bitumen
emulsion and coarse aggregate.
• Slow setting type of emulsion are used with fine aggregates as the surface
area is large and requires time for uniform mixing.
47
48. Cold Mix Techniques (Contd.)
Cutback bitumen
• Bitumen dissolved in volatile solvents of petroleum distillates like gasoline,
naptha, kerosene
• Curing time depends on type of solvent
• Quantity of solvent controls the viscosity of bitumen
• After laying, solvent get evaporated leaving behind the bitumen to bind
with the aggregate
48
49. Cold Mix Techniques (Contd.)
Cutback bitumen – Types
Depending on the solvent used
• Rapid curing
• Medium curing
Advantage over emulsion
Compared to Emulsion, the residual percentage of bitumen is more in the
case of cutback bitumen
49
50. Maintenance of bituminous pavement
1. Patch Repair
