The road top should have the best quality gravel consisting of a combination of fractured stone, sand and fine particles with a binding characteristic to form a smooth, firm surface. 4. Compact soils properly. Along with grading, soil compaction is the most important process in gravel road construction.

Road Structure Cross Section is composed of the following components: Surface/Wearing Course. Base Course. Sub Base. Sub Grade. 1. Surface/Wearing Course in pavement cross section: The top layers of pavement which is in direct contact with the wheel of the vehicle. Usually constructed of material in which bitumen is used as binder materials.

good surface material for a gravel road would need more material passing a #200 sieve than a good base material. There is also a difference in the need for plastic or cohesive material.Surface gravel needs some good natural clay which gives a "binding characteristic." The chart adjacent is an example of one state's base and gravel ...

aggregates are imported from abroad for the purpose of special and large scale highway construction and maintenance. For general purpose road construction and maintenance work, locally occurring rocks, gravels and sands are used, but the good quality resources are decreasing but aggregate …

section surfaced with good-quality aggregate. The greater difference occurred in the winter with the greater rainfall. 'Whereas the good-quality aggregate provided the expected level of sediment mitigation, the marginal-quality aggregate did not. These results have important implications for road use and sediment production.

The importance of using the right type and quality of aggregates cannot be overemphasized. The fine and coarse aggregates generally occupy 60% to 75% of the concrete volume (70% to 85% by mass) and strongly influ-ence the concrete's freshly mixed and hardened proper-ties, mixture proportions, and economy. Fine aggregates

A gravel surfaced road will provide a good all weather road when properly constructed and maintained. Quality road gravel will depend upon local availability and budget. The material used should be suitable for use as a base for future hardsurfacing. By putting down a good base in the beginning, the weak spots can be found over a period

For both aggregate qualities, the sediment ratio increased with increased timber haul traffic. At the highest haul measured, 20 600 m 3, the sediment comparison between traffic and no-traffic on the good-quality aggregate was 18:1. The similar ratio for the marginal quality aggregate was 25:1.

A great strength of a road is derived from the mechanical interlocking of the aggregates which vary with the aggregate shape. Thus evaluation of shape of the aggregates, particularly with reference to flakiness and elongation is highly essential for good quality road works.

These layers comprised: (1) a layer of uncrushed, granitic, sandy gravel-a good quality road aggregate, (2) a layer of shale-a poor quality aggregate, and (3) a layer of crushed limestone–an excellent quality aggregate with a wet mix macadam (WMM) grading–on top of a poor quality …

Aggregate should have the following qualities Quality Requirements of Aggregate Aggregates should be strong, hard, dense, durable, clear and free from veins and adherent coating. Aggregates should be free from injurious amounts of disintegrated pieces, alkalis, vegetable matter and other deleterious substances. Flaky and Elongated pieces should not be present in aggregate mass. Aggregate ...
