504.8. Rate<br />

The cont react unit rate for bituminous macadam shall be payment in full for carrying out the<br />

required operations as specified. The rate shall include for, all components listed in Clause<br />

501.8.8.2. (i) To (xi).<br />

505. BITUMINOUS PENETRATION MACADAM<br />

505.1 General<br />

The work shall consist of construction of one or more layers or compacted crushed coarse<br />

aggregate with alternate application of bituminous binder and key aggregates. To be used as a<br />

base course on roads subjected to the requirement of the over all pavement design and drawing<br />

are as directed by the Engineer in charge. Thickness of an individual course shall be 50 mm or 75<br />

mm, or other as specified.<br />

505.2 Materials<br />

505.2.1 Bitumen: The binder shall be paving bitumen either type one (bitumen from non waxy<br />

crude) or type two (bitumen from waxy crude) of suitable penetration grade within the range of S-<br />

35 to S-90 and A-35 to A-90 (30/40 to 80/100) as per with Indian standard specification for<br />

"Paving Bitumen’s" IS: 73 or approved cutback satisfying the requirement of IS: 217 OR 454. The<br />

actual grade of bitumen or cutback to be used shall be as specified or as directed by the Engineer<br />

in charge.<br />

505.2.2. Quantities of materials and Aggregates: The aggregates shall satisfy the physical<br />

requirement set out in clause 504.2.2 and Table 500-3. The coarse and key aggregates shall<br />

conform to the grading given in Table 500-6.The quantities of material used for this work shall be<br />

as specified in table 500-6.<br />
