(Reference: MoRTH circular dated 14.12.2020 and IRC SP‐89 (Part‐II)‐2018 & document
issued by NRIDA‐MoRD,GoI for ‘Full depth reclamation for Rehabilitation of low volume
roads”, may 2022)
 Field Testing for quality checks during construction

 Strength of Sub‐grade Density should be 100% and shall be checked
by sand replacement method
 Water Content – Moisture Content Natural Moisture content should be Measured

and used for adding moisture to reach
Optimum Moisture Content
 Cement + CCS Content At 250 meter (every stretch of Construction)

should be checked by tray method
 Pulverization and Gradation At interval of 250 meter gradation Should be

checked after spreading and after pulverizing
 Uniformity in Mixing At 250 meter (every stretch of Construction)

should be checked by using phenephthelene
method
 Density of FDR layer Should be measured by sand Replacement

method just after stabilization completed, it
can also be measured by density gauge
 Strength and thickness of FDR layer By taking out core
 Stiffness of FDR layer Using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD)
 Evaluation of Strength/Stiffness
• Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD)

• Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD)
• Soil Stiffness Gauge (SSG)
• Field Testing for Strength
• Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)
• Mould Casting
• Core cutting
 Test during construction
Test Test Method/Code Minimum Desired Frequency

Quality of Cement/Hydraulic As per relevant IS specifications Once initially for approval of the
Binder and additives or as per the Supplier source of supply and later for
Guidelines each consignment of the
material
Depth of Pulverization pH meter or phenolphthalein One Test per 250 m length
Test
Thickness of Stabilized Layer Coring/digging holes of 100 mm One Test per 250 m length

Gradation of Pulverized Mix Design One Test per 250 m length
materials
Cement Content Spot Check One Test per 500 m length
Mixing Uniformity Visual Regularly
Moisture Content IS 2720 (Part‐2) One Test per 250 m length
Density IS 2720 (Part‐28) One Test per 250 m length
UCS Test (from cubes) IS : 516‐1959 or IRC : SP : One Test per 250 m length

shall be conducted from a reputed Government Institute like IITs/NITs/PTAs/STAs etc. to ascertain
the quality of work executed on ground.
