CC Road

The document discusses cement concrete (CC) roads, including their materials, construction process, and benefits. Some key points covered include: CC roads use materials like cement, coarse and fine aggregates, and water to form durable slabs. They are constructed by preparing the subgrade and subbase, laying separation membranes, and compacting and curing CC slabs. Properly constructed CC roads last 30 years and have lower lifetime costs than flexible pavements due to their strength and low maintenance needs.

ABSTRACT

• One of the most popular schemes, demand for construction of


cement concrete roads in every village and every hamlet.
• Cement concrete roads being taken up under various schemes
in order to improve the quality of life and hygienic condition.
• Panchayati raj department as 171070 kms of roads under its
jurisdiction, which includes over 58560 kms of internal village
roads.
INTRODUCTION
• Cement concrete pavements are generally constructed using plain cement
concrete slab.
• CC pavement serves good & durable wearing surface as well as an
effective and strong base course.
• The routine and periodic maintenance cost is very low as maintenance of
joints only required .
• The life cycle cost of CC pavement are much lower then flexible
pavements.
• CC pavements are generally designed and constructed for 30 years.
MATERIALS FOR
CONSTRUCTIONS
• Portland cement
• Coarse aggregate
• Fine aggregate
• Water

• Steel bars
• Admixtures etc.
AGGREGATE
• Coarse aggregates used for construction shall fulfill the following
requirements :
1) Los Angeles abrasion value - < 35%
2) Flakiness & Elongated index - < 35%
3) Water absorption - < 3%
 max size 31.5 mm
• Fine aggregates shall be :

1) Well graded.
2) 100% passing 10mm sieve.
ABRASION VALUE TEST
• Due to the movements of traffic, the road stones used in the
surfacing course are subjected to wearing action at the top.
Resistance to wear or hardness is hence an essential property for
road aggregates, especially when used in wearing course. Thus
road stones should be hard enough to resist the abrasion due to
the traffic. When fast moving traffic fitted with pneumatic tires
move on the roads, the soil particles present between the wheel
and road surface causes abrasion on the road stone.
LOS ANGELES ABRASION
APPARATUS
AGGREGATE IMPACT VALUE
• This test is done to determine the aggregate impact value of coarse
aggregates as per IS: 2386 (Part IV) – 1963.
• The apparatus used for determining aggregate impact value of
coarse aggregates is Impact testing machine conforming to IS: 2386
(Part IV)- 1963,IS Sieves of sizes – 12.5mm, 10mm and 2.36mm.
• A cylindrical metal measure of 75mm dia. and 50mm depth, A
tamping rod of 10mm circular cross section and 230mm length,
rounded at one end and Oven.
AGGREGATE IMPACT APPARATUS
AGGREGATE CRUSHING VALUE

• The principal mechanical properties required in road stones


are satisfactory resistance to crushing under the roller during
construction and adequate resistance to surface abrasion under
traffic surface stresses under rigid type rims of heavily loaded
animal drawn vehicles ate high enough to consider the
crushing strength of road aggregates or on cylindrical
specimen cut out of rocks .

CEMENT
• The name ordinary Portland cement(OPC) is reserved for a cement which
is: an extremely finely ground product obtained by burning together at
high temperature specifically proportioned amounts of calcareous and
argillaceous raw materials, adding nothing else to the burnt product except
gypsum in small percentage.
• Cement which is used in road construction passes under these experiments:

a) Fineness of cement.

b) Soundness of cement.

c) Setting time of cement.


SOUNDNESS OF CEMENT
• All cements expand to some extent on setting.

• This expansion is sometimes responsible for cracking of cement after


setting.
• This is an unsound quality. By soundness of cement is, therefore,
understood its capacity to form a nondisintegrating, hard and uniformly
strong mass on setting. This depends on its original composition, proper
burning and grinding.
• Presence of lime in free state, an excess of sulphate or magnesia and a
very fine size may be the cause of unsoundness in a cement.
Le-chtelier’s apparatus
SETTING TIME OF CEMENT
• By Setting of cement is understood conversion of a plastic paste of cement
and water to a non-plastic and rigid mass.
• This change from a plastic mass to a non-plastic and rigid mass may take
any time between few minutes to an hour or more.
• Some cements set quickly, within a few minutes whereas others may take
comparatively longer time.
• Moreover, setting is not abrupt process which complete immediately and
an end. It is on this latter basis, setting is distinguished into initial and
final setting, qualified by the time required in each case.
VICAT APPARATUS
COMPONENTS OF CC PAVEMENT

• Sub grade
• Drainage layer
• Sub base coarse dry lean concrete (DLC) layer to support cc
slab & better drainage.
• Separation membrane prevent sticking b/w new concrete(cc
slab) and old concrete (DLC).
• Pavement slab to withstand over flexural stress.
PREPARATION OF CONCRETE
Recommended water content and workability
• W-C ratio shall not exceed 0.45.
• Slump of concrete mix compacted by vibration shall be in
range 25 ± 10 mm.
• Generally M40 concrete is used in cc road for which
approximate w-c ratio is 0.38.
MIXING
Mixing of concrete is done by two methods. These are as
following.

a. Hand mixing

b. Macine mixing
TRANPORTING AND PLACING
FORM WORK
CONSTRUCTION STEPS
• Construction of sub-grade.
• Construction of drainage layer.
• Construction of sub-base course.
• Laying of separation membrane.
• Construction of CC pavement slab.
CONSTRUCTION OF CC SLABS
Operations involved in it

1. Spreading the prepared concrete mix to desire thickness

2. Compacting
3. Cutting

4. Compacting
COMPACTING

CURING
• Curing is the term used for the job of keeping the fresh
concrete wet till desired purpose of ensuring complete setting
and hardening of cement in the concrete is achieved.
• Curing of concrete is contain many steps:

a) Objects of curing.
b) Methods of curing.
c) Time required for curing.
PONDING CURING
JOINTS
•Contraction joints

•Contraction joints

•Construction joints

•Longitudinal joints
OPENING TO TRAFFIC

•Usually, a concrete pavement is only opened to traffic 7 days

after the concrete has been laid and after, in the presence of all

parties, any possible cracks have been recorded.

•A concrete pavement of less than 7 days old, can be opened to

traffic if the contractor provides proof that the concrete has

reached the minimum compressive strength stipulated in the

specifications.
