CHAPTER I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Art. 1. Object and field of application.The technical specifications hereunder detail the execution and acceptance of crushed stone or optimal crushed stone sub-base layers in the public road and street systems. The technical specifications comprise technical requirements stipulated in SR 667 and SR 662, which the used materials must observe, as well as provisions of STAS 6400 (requirements for the executed stone layer).Art. 2. General provisions2.1. The 0-63 optimal crushed stone sub-base is executed with a single layer, whose thickness is established in the design.2.2. The 40-08 crushed stone sub-base is executed with two layers: an inferior 10 cm ballast layer and a superior 12 cm layer made of crushed stone- in compliance with STAS 6400.2.3. If roads do not require a form layer or improvement methods for roadbed protection, and if the roadbed is made of cohesive soils, then the 0-63 optimal crushed stone sub-base shall be executed on a sub=base sub-layer, as follows:

- waterproofing sand sub-layer, 7 cm-thick after rolling- ballast drainage sub-layer, at least 10 cm-thick after rolling.

When the inferior layer of the road sub-base is made of ballast, as in article 2.2, this layer also serves as a drainage layer; the proper thickness, drainage quality and water evacuation measures have to be observed. 2.4. The Constructor shall make sure that all tests and measurements resulted from application of the current technical specifications are performed, in its own laboratories or in collaborating authorized laboratories. 2.5. At the Engineer’s request, the constructor must perform additional verifications apart from provisions of technical specifications hereunder. 2.6. In case the technical specifications hereunder are not observed, the Engineer shall order interruption of works and shall take the appropriate measures.

CHAPTER II. MATERIALS

Art. 3. Natural aggregates3.1. The following aggregates are used in execution of crushed stone sub-bases:a. Large crushed stone sub-bases, 40-80

- ballast 0-63 mm in the inferior layer- crushed stone 40-80 mm in the superior layer - 16-25 mm split for wedging of the superior layer- grainy sand and 0-8 mm ballast as a protection material.

b. For optimal crushed stone sub- base, 0-63 mm- 0-4 mm sand for execution of the sub-layer, in case roadbed soils are cohesive,

and if the drainage layer does not comprise a form or a 0-63 mm ballast layer. - optimal crushed stone, 0-63 mm

CHAPTER III. ESTABLISHING COMPACTION CHARACTERISTICS FOR THE INFERIOR SUB-BASE LAYER AND FOR THE OPTIMAL CRUSHED STONE SUB-BASE LAYER

Art. 6. Optimal compaction featuresThe optimal compaction features of the ballast or those of the optimal crushed stone mixture are established by a certified specialized laboratory, before execution works are started.As per STAS 1913/13, the modified Proctor Test shall establish:

du max. PM- maximum volume weight in a dry state, expressed in g/cm3W PM- optimal compaction humidity (%)

Art. 7. Compaction characteristics proper7.1. Compaction characteristics proper are determined by the site laboratory, on samples collected from the works, as follows:

du - volume weight in an effective dry state, expressed in g/cm3W - effective optimal compaction humidity (%), needed for establishment of the compaction degree gc

gc=

7.2. Article 13 indicates the compaction degree to be observed in execution of the sub-base layer.

CHAPTER IV. EXECUTION OF SUB-BASE LAYERSArt. 8. Preliminary measures8.1. Execution of the sub-base layer shall only be initiated after acceptance of earthworks and of form layer works, in compliance with provisions of the technical specifications for the respective works. 8.2. Before start of sub-base works, all plants and devices needed for sub-base layer placement shall be verified. 8.3. Before placing the sub-base aggregates, sub-base water drainage works must be performed- transversal road shoulder drains, longitudinal drains under the road shoulders

Page 8: And 589 Crushed Stone

BU00237 AC

of under the gutters, and joints of between the drains and the sub-base layer- as well as other works performed for this purpose. 8.4. In case sub-base layers are built on the entire road platform, as for motorways, or in case of works with a continuous drainage layers, the waters must be evacuated outside the working area, at any point of the alignment/ route, at least 15 cm above the ditch or above the terrain (in the case of embankments)8.5. If there are several ballast or crushed stone sources, measures must be taken to prevent mixing of the aggregates, to separated road sections depending on the used sources, and to record these section into the construction site book/ diary. Art. 9. Testing the execution of the sub-base layers9.1. Before works are started, the Constructor must perform tests concerning sub-base layer execution. Tests shall be performed for each sub-base layer type- large crushed stone sub-base 63-80, on a ballast layer at least 10 cm thick, or optimal crushed stone sub-base 0-63, with or without a sand sub-layer, depending on the solution indicated in the design. In case of 63-80 large crushed stone sub-base, testing shall be performed separately for the inferior ballast layer and for the superior large crushed stone layer.In all cases, testing is performed on test sections at least 30 m long and at least 3.5 m wide (twice the width of the compactor).The purpose of the testing is to establish, under conditions of current execution on site, the components of the compaction workshop and workshop operation methods, in order to obtain the compaction degree required in the technical specifications; testing also establishes whether the indicated thickness can be obtained via 1 or 2 layers, as well as adjustment of materials spreading equipment, in order to obtain the necessary thickness and evenness of the surface.9.2. Test compaction on experimental sections shall be performed in the presence of the Engineer; compaction control is performed via mutually agreed laboratory and on-site tests, as the case may be.In case the required compaction degree cannot be obtained, then the Constructor shall perform a new test, after modifying layer thickness or components of the compaction plant used. These tests aim at establishing compaction parameters, as follows:

- maximum thickness of the sub-base layer to be executed on site- compaction conditions (verification of compaction effectiveness and equipment

compaction intensity)9.3. Compaction intensity= Q/S

Q- volume of the placed material per time unit (hour, day, shift), in cubic metresS- the compacted surface in the given time interval, in square metres. In case a tandem of plants are used simultaneously, the surfaces compacted by each plant are added together.

9.4. In the case of the 63-80 large crushed stone sub-base, the compaction workshop must also be correctly adjusted, and it must comprise light and middle/ average compression rolls; the correct number of times for the rolls to pass over the surfaces, until dry compaction is obtained, must also be established after laying the two wedging split layers 16-25, so that the necessary binding is achieved.

Page 9: And 589 Crushed Stone

BU00237 AC

In this case, compaction is considered finished if the roll wheels leave no further trace on the crushed stone surface, and if other stones (circa 40 mm) do not penetrate the sub-base, and are crushed, without causing any deformation or dislocation of the sub-base layer. 9.5. The section of the executed section, which exhibits the best results, shall be taken as a reference for the rest of the works. The characteristics obtained on the experimental section shall be entered into the site registry/diary, and shall be used in quality control of the remaining works.

Art. 10. Execution of sub-base layers

A. 63-80 LARGE CRUSHED STONE SUB-BASES ON A BALLAST PILLOWa. Execution of the inferior ballast layer 10.1. The ballast is laid and levelled on the accepted earthworks, in a single layer, whose thickness is the same as resulted on the experimental section, so that a 10 cm layer is obtained after compaction. Ballast shall be laid and levelled using a form/ profile board, in compliance with width and slopes indicated in the design.10.2. The necessary water quantity for ensuring optimal compaction humidity shall be established by the site laboratory, taking into account aggregate humidity; the water is added by sprinkling, which must be uniform; local humidity saturation must be avoided.10.3. Sub-base layer compaction shall be performed with the compaction plant established on the experimental section, observing plant components, compaction speed, technology and compaction intensity Q/S. 10.4. On roads where the sub-base layer is not executed on the entire width of the road platform, the road shoulders are completed with and compacted together with the sub-base layer, so that the sub-base is permanently framed by road shoulders; water evacuation measures must also be taken, as indicated in item 8.3.10.5. Any irregularity occurred during sub-base compaction, or which are left after compaction, must be corrected with additional material, and then re-compacted. Surfaces with irregularities higher that 4 cm are completed, levelled and then re-compacted.10.6. The sub-base must not be executed with frozen ballast. 10.7 The ballast shall not be laid on the roadbed if the roadbed is covered by snow or by ice.

b. Execution of the superior large concrete stones 63-8010.8. The large crushed stone is laid and compacted only after execution of the inferior ballast layer, which shall be wetted before laying. 10.9. The crushed stone is laid and compacted in dry conditions, in several stages. Until the crushed stone is bound, the compaction is executed with smooth compression rolls, 6 t; the operation is continued with compactors equipped with tyres or 10-14 ton- vibrators. The number the compaction plant passes over the road is established on the experimental section. 10.10. After rolling, the crushed stone shall be wedged with split 16-25, which is compacted; after that the holes left after wedging shall be filled by mudding, with ballast/ grit 0-8.

Page 10: And 589 Crushed Stone

BU00237 AC

10.11. Until the immediately superior layer is placed, the large crushed stone layer executed, shall be covered with protection materials (grainy sand or ballast). In case the superior layer is made of macadam, the large crushed stone layer shall not longer be protected, and holes in the layer shall no longer be filled.

B. OPTIMAL CRUSHED STONE SUB-BASE LAYERS 10.12. On the accepted road shoulders made of cohesive soils, which do not require improvement of the roadbed or execution of form layers, a 7 cm sand layer shall be temporarily placed. The sand is laid and levelled using a form/ profile board, observing the widths and slopes indicated in the sub-base layer design. Water shall be sprinkled over the sand layer, which is then rolled. 10.13. The optimal crushed stone is placed on the sand layer, using an asphalt distributor-finisher; if necessary the water quantity may be completed, in order to preserve optimal compaction humidity. The optimal crushed stone shall be laid and levelled using a form/ profile board, observing the widths and slopes indicated in the design.10.14. The water quantity required to obtain the optimal compaction humidity is established by the site laboratory, taking into consideration aggregate humidity; water is added by uniform sprinkling, avoiding local saturation. 10.15. Sub-base layer is compacted with the compaction plant established on the experimental section; the compaction plant must have the appropriate components; compaction process must comply with compaction plant speed, compaction intensity Q/S and technology.10.16. In case of roads whose sub-base layer is not built on the entire width of the platform, the road shoulders are completed and compacted together with the sub-base, so that the sub-base is permanently frames by road shoulders; water evacuation measures must be taken, as indicated in 8.3.10.17. Any irregularities occurred during sub-base compaction, or which are left after compaction of optimal crushed stone or large crushed stone sub-base layers, must be corrected with additional material, and then re-compacted. Surfaces with irregularities higher that 4 cm are scraped, following an even pattern/ contour, on the entire thickness of the layer; then the layer is completed with the same type of material, it is re-levelled and rolled again.10.18. The sub-base layer shall not be executed with frozen optimal crushed stone.10.19. The optimal crushed stone shall not be placed on the roadbed if the roadbed is covered by snow or ice.

Art. 11. Quality control of sub-base layers11.1. During execution of ballast and 63-80 large crushed stone sub-bases, or optimal crushed stone sub-bases, verifications and measurements must be performed, as indicated in table 7, with the frequency shown in the same table. The bearing capacity at the superior sub-base level is determined via measurements with the lever deflectometer, as stipulated in the “Norm for Measurement of roads with supple and semi-rigid structures by deflectography and deflectometry”, indicative CD 31.11.2. The Laboratory of the Constructor shall record the following characteristics concerning quality of the executed layer:
