    Sub Grade and Sub Base For Concrete Pavement

    The document discusses construction standards and recommendations for pavement subgrades, subbases, and embankments. It recommends that the subbase extend 30-60 cm outside the pavement edge to provide edge support. For heavily trafficked roads, a treated cement or asphalt subbase is recommended to increase fatigue life and reduce joint failures. The document also provides guidelines for subgrade and subbase material selection, thickness, and compaction based on traffic levels and soil properties.

    The construction standard for

    sub-grade , sub-base and


    embankment are precise and
    almost typical for all pavement
    types.
    The AASHTO Interim Guides,
    recommend that the sub-base must
    be extended from 30-60 cm
    outside the pavement edge to serve
    as an edge support.
    For the heaviest traveled
    facilities, a treated cement asphalt
    sub-base is recommended because
    it increases the fatigue life and
    reduces joint failure.
     Pavements that are expected to carry 200 trucks
    or fewer per day (or less than 1,000,000 18-
    kip(80kN) ESAL’s over the course of the service
    life of the pavement) do not typically require a
    subbase to prevent pumping.
     A subgrade soil that is naturally free draining
    typically will not pump.
     Subgrade soils with less than 45% passing a No.
    200(0.000075mm) sieve and with a PI of 6 or less
    are adequate for moderate volumes of heavy
    truck traffic without the use of a subbase layer.
     The guide allows the use of either
    graded granular materials or suitably
    stabilized materials for the sub base
    layer.
     AASHTO suggests that the first five
    types-A through E-can be used within
    the upper 4 in. layer of the sub base,
    whereas type F can be used below the
    uppermost 4 in. layer.
     Unstabilized (granular) – 4in. (100mm) min.
    thickness
     Stabilized
     Cement-Stabilized
    1. Cement-Treated (CTB) – 4in. (100mm) min.
    thickness
    2. Lean Concrete (LCB) – 4in. (100mm) min.
    thickness
     Asphalt-Stabilized (ATB)- 2in. (50mm) min
    thickness
     The subgrade is the natural ground, grade
    and compacted, on which the pavement is
    built. Preparation of the subgrade includes:

    1. Compacting soils at moisture contents and


    densities that will ensure uniform and stable
    pavement support.
    2. Whenever possible, setting gradelines high
    enough and making side ditches deep
    enough to increase the distance between
    water table and pavement.
    3. Cross-hauling and mixing of soils to
    achieve uniform conditions in areas
    where there are abrupt horizontal
    changes in soil type.
    4. Using selective grading in cut and fill
    areas to place the better soils nearer to
    the top of the final subgrade elevation.
    5. Improving extremely poor soil by
    treatment with cement or lime, or
    importing better soils, whichever is
    more economical.
     Option for any subgrade:

    Unstabilized
    Chemical stabilized
    Cement
    lime
     General guidelines for a good
    subgrade:
    A minimum CBR of 6in. In the top
    24in.(610mm) of subgrade provides an
    adequate working platform for
    construction, while limiting subgrade
    rutting under construction traffic to
    1/2in.(13mm) or less.
    Typically, a specified percentage of
    compaction of 95 percent will provide an
    adequate working platform for
    construction equipment and for excellent
    in-service performance of the subgrade
    portion of a concrete pavement structure.
