SUBGRADE TYPES OF COATS IRC: 16-2008 The bituminous material to be used as primer should be such that it can penetrate deep into LAYER (about 10 mm depth) to perform its intended function in an environment friendly manner.
The bituminous material to be used as primer should be such
that it can penetrate deep into base course (about 10 mm depth) to perform its intended function in an environment friendly manner.
Cutback Bitumen as Primer shall not be applied on a damp or
wet surface. Bitumen emulsion shall be applied on a damp surface. Surface shall be just wet with very light sprinkling of water. Primer shall not be applied during dust storm, rainy, foggy or windy weather. TYPES OF COATS IRC: 16-2008 Primer shall not be applied on a damp or wet surface. Bitumen emulsion shall be applied on a damp surface. Surface shall be just wet with very light sprinkling of water. Primer shall not be applied during dust storm, rainy, foggy or windy weather. The ambient temperature during priming by bitumen emulsion should be above 10°C. condition at site. The primer distributor shall be a self propelled or towed bitumen pressure sprayer equipped for spraying the material uniformly at specified rates and temperature. Hand spraying of small areas using pressure hand sprayer may be permitted at specific strategic locations, 0.7 TO 1.0 KG/ SQ.M TYPES OF COATS IRC: 16-2008
The surface to be primed shall be swept clean and made free from dust. All loose material and other foreign material on the surface shall be removed completely. Power brooms or mechanical sweepers may be used for cleaning of surface. TYPES OF COATS The binder used for tack coat shall be either Cationic BitumenEmulsion
Tack Coat is a very light application of low viscosity liquid bituminous
material to an existing bituminous, cement concrete or primed granular surface to ensure a bond between the surface being paved and the overlaying course. The tack coat material is not expected to penetrate into pavement and for this reason; the applications should be very light to provide adequate bond between two layers. TYPES OF COATS The binder used for tack coat shall be either Cationic BitumenEmulsion or suitable low viscosity pavingbitumenof VG 10grade Bituminous material shall not be applied during rainy season, dust storm or when the weather is foggy, rainy or windy or when the ambient temperature is less than 1 0°C. The surface should be totally dry TYPES OF COATS Bituminous material shall not be applied during rainy season, dust storm or when the weather is foggy, rainy or windy or when the ambient temperature is less than 10°C. The surface should be totally dry
The tack coat shall be applied by a self-propelled or towed bitumen
pressure sprayer equipped for spraying the material uniformly at a specified rate. Hand spraying may be permitted where tack coat is to be applied on small areas, TYPES OF COATS The surface on which the tack coat is to be applied shall be clean and free from dust, dirt and any extraneous material. The granular or stabilized surface shall be primed as per specifications given in Clause 3 of this Code. Immediately before the application of tack coat, the surface shall be swept clean with a mechanical broom and high-pressure air jet or by other means as directed by the Engineer. 4.3.4 Application of tack coat 4.3.4.1 The rate of application for tack coat on various types of surfaces shall be as per Table 3 and shall be applied uniformly. The quantity of cutback, when used as tack coat, will be same as that of emulsion.
0.2 TO 0.3 KG/ SQ.M Type A seal coat (liquid seal coat):
Type B seal coat (premixed seal coat)
Seal coat of Type A or Type B shall be applied 4 to 6 hours after
laying cold mixed premix carpet.
immediately after spraying emulsion, clean and washed stone
chips shall be spread uniformly at the specified rate, on the surface preferably by means of a self-propelled or towed mechanical grit spreader or by any other suitable means as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge so as to cover the surface completely. If necessary, the surface shall be brushed to ensure uniform spread of chips. Rolling with 8-10 tonnes roller should start soon after spreading chips. Laying of bituminous mix shall not be carried out during rain, fog, dust Storm or when the air temperature at the surface is below 10°C or wind speed exceeds 40
