5. <strong>Quality</strong> Control Tests<br />

5.1 Tests Prior to Construction<br />

The quality control tests to be carried out prior to construction are indicated in Table 507.5.<br />

Table 507.5 : QUALITY CONTROL TESTS PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION<br />

Type of Test Frequency<br />

1. <strong>Quality</strong> of Binder (Straight-run Bitumen) (IS:73)<br />

(a) Penetration Test One Set of tests per lot (Average of three tests)<br />

(b) R&B Softening Point Test -do-<br />

(c) Ductility Test -do-<br />

2. <strong>Quality</strong> of Binder (Bitumen Emulsion)<br />

(a) Viscosity (IS:8887) -do-<br />

(b) Residue on 600 micron sieve (IS:8887) -do-<br />

(c) Storage Stability Test (IS:8887) -do—<br />

3. <strong>Quality</strong> of Binder (Modified Bitumen) (IS:15462)<br />

(a) Penetration Test -do-<br />

(b) R&B Softening Point Test -do-<br />

(c) Elastic Recovery Test(d) Separation Test -do—do-<br />

4. Aggregate Impact Value Test (IS:2386 Part 4) One test per km length on representative sample from<br />

each source identified by the Contractor<br />

5. Flakiness Index Test (IS:2386 Part 1) -do-<br />

6. Bitumen Stripping of Aggregate Test (IS:6241) -do-<br />

7. Water Absorption (IS:2386 Part 3) -do-<br />

5.2 Tests During Construction<br />

The quality control tests to be carried out during construction are indicated in Table 507.6.<br />

TABLE 507.6 : QUALITY CONTROL TESTS DURING CONSTRUCTION<br />

Type of Test Frequency<br />

1. Rate of spread of binder At least two tests per day<br />

2. Rate of Spread of aggregate (Annex – IV) -do-<br />

3. Grading of Aggregate (IS:2386 Part 1) At least one test per day<br />

4. Temperature of binder during spraying (Annex - I) Regularly, at close intervals.<br />

5. Storage stability Test <strong>for</strong> Bitumen Emulsion One test per day<br />

6. Aggregate impact value (IS:2386-Part 4) At random one test per km<br />
