Economical Formation Level for Road Pavement

Abstract

Abstract: To establish the most economical estimate for a stretch of road by conducting a survey for RL of different points, calculating a formation level for the road where the quantity of Earthwork i.e., cutting and filling is equal, choosing such a material for pavement design which is gives more strength and is also economical. Selecting the site of a non-constructed road form MGM Institute of Hotel Management to MGM Hospital Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Maharashtra, India. Analysing the cost difference in estimate if we change the depth of formation level. Calculating the cost of construction for formation level from depth 98.00m to 99.00m. The cost calculation for earthwork varies with change in depth of formation level. The cost of pavement design is constant for all formation bed. Thus, the only variation is in the cost of construction of pavement surface. We have selected water bound macadam (WBM) pavement surface. As a future scope we will design different pavement surfaces like flexible, rigid and mixed. Designing of these pavement, different layers of the pavement as per IRC specification. The most economical formation level with most economical pavement will become the most durable and economical road design. We would use dumpy level, chain, arrows, tape, ranging rods, tripod, levelling staff for the survey of Reduce levels. Comparing the cost of construction of two types of pavements surfaces.
