<strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Assurance</strong> <strong>Handbook</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Rural</strong> <strong>Roads</strong><br />

TABLE 504.4: 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 test per lot<br />

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

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

2. <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 -do<br />

(d) Separation Test -do-<br />

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

from each source identified by the Contractor<br />

4. Flakiness Index Test (IS:2386 Part 1) Two tests per source<br />

5. Bituminous Stripping of Aggregate Test (IS:6241) One test per source<br />

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

7. Soundness Test, if water absorption of aggregate -doexceeds<br />

2% (IS:2386 Part 5)<br />

The quality control tests to be carried out during construction are indicated in Table 504.5.<br />

Table 504.5: QUALITY CONTROL TESTS DURING CONSTRUCTION<br />

Type of Test Frequency<br />

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

2. Binder Content Atleast two tests per day.<br />

3. Density of Compacted Layer Atleast one test per day.<br />

4. Temperature of Binder be<strong>for</strong>e mixing Regularly<br />

5. *Temperature of mix during laying and compaction Regularly<br />

6. Thickness of compacted layer Regular, at close intervals<br />

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

*Temperature measurement will be done by using metallic contact thermometer with digital display
