    Difference between granular sub-base and wet mix macadam in payment structure:

    The wet mix macadam mostly consists of laying spreading and compacting of clean, crushed, well-graded granular material that is prepared and approved granular sub-base.

    Single compacted wet mix macadam player shall not be less than 75mm.

    Whenever we are using vibrating compacting equipment then compacted depth of a single layer of the course of the subway may be up to 200 mm.

    Wet mix macadam shall be prepared in an approved of water macadam mixing plant.

    Here replacing the aggregate fraction should be retained on 22.4 mm sieve with materials of passing from 22.4 and written on 4.75 mm.

    While the addition of water, the evaporation loss shall be considered the mixed material shall be uniformly wet and segregation will take place.

    An embankment refers to a volume of earthen material that is placed and compacted for the purpose of raising the grade of a roadway (or railway) above the level of the existing surrounding ground surface. Highway embankments made of heavy materials are often built over soft ground and this can sometimes leads to settlement and instability of the embankment.

    In 2014 building the twenty or more units took near about 15 months to complete from the time of obtaining permits. And properties with 10 to 19 units physically finished in 13.6 months whereas 5 to 9 unit building came in at  11.5 months.

    The average time from permits to start does not follow the same pattern with respect to property size. Properties with 10 to 19 units had the longest average waiting period.

    Surface excavation involves the removal of the exposed layer of the earth surface, including any vegetation or decaying matter which could make the soil compressible and therefore unsuitable for bearing structural loads. Hence the depth will be vary from site to site, usually range of 150-300 mm.

    Rigid pavements because of their nature, allow for a larger variation in subgrade material (in terms of strength), unlike flexible pavements.

    Rigid pavements because of their nature, allow for a larger variation in subgrade material (in terms of strength), unlike flexible pavements. That is why rigid pavements can be built over almost any kind of soils with appropriate ground improvement.

    The general range for CBR is 2% to 14% or 15%. If it is found below 6%, then the code specifies some necessary subgrade improvement before laying the concrete slab directly over it.

    Also, the CBR could be increased up to say 40% or 50% by ground improvement, and still, the subgrade may be fit for rigid pavements.
