Chapter 1 Introduction
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Development of a country depends on the connectivity of various places with adequate road
network. Roads are the major channel of transportation for carrying goods and passengers.
They play a significant role in improving the socio-economic standards of a region. Roads
constitute the most important mode of communication in areas where railways have not
developed much and form the basic infra-structure for the development and economic growth
of the country. The benefits from the investment in road sector are indirect, long-term and not
immediately visible. Roads are important assets for any nation. However, merely creating
these assets is not enough, it has to be planned carefully and a pavement which is not
designed properly deteriorates fast. India is a large country having huge resource of materials.
If these local materials are used properly, the cost of construction can be reduced. There are
various type of pavements which differ in their suitability in different environments. Each
type of pavement has its own merits and demerits. Despite a large number of seminars and
conference, still in India, 98% roads are having flexible pavements. A lot of research has
been made on use of Waste materials but the role of these materials is still limited. So there is
need to take a holistic approach and mark the areas where these are most suitable.
India has one of the largest road networks in the world (over 3 million km at present).For the
purpose of management and administration, roads in India are divided into the following five
categories:
National Highways (NH)
State Highways (SH)
Major District Roads (MDR)
Other District Roads (ODR)
Village Roads (VR)

Chapter 2 Road or Pavement
CHAPTER 2
ROAD OR PAVEMENT
Pavement or Road is an open, generally public way for the passage of vehicles, people, and
Animals
Pavement is finished with a hard smooth surface. It helped make them durable and able to
With stand traffic and the environment. They have a life span of between 20 – 30 years.
Road pavements deteriorate over time due to-
The impact of traffic, particularly heavy vehicles.
Environmental factors such as weather, pollution.
2.1 PURPOSE
Many people rely on paved roads to move themselves and their products rapidly and reliably
2.2 FUNCTIONS
One of the primary functions is load distribution. It can be characterized by the tire loads,
tire configurations, repetition of loads, and distribution of traffic across the pavement, and
vehicle speed
Pavement material and geometric design can affect quick and efficient drainage. These
eliminating moisture problems such as mud and pounding (puddles). Drainage system
consists of:
Surface drainage: Removing all water present on the pavement surface, sloping,
chambers, and kerbs
Subsurface drainage: Removing water that seep into or is contained in the underlying
subgrade.

Chapter 3 Types Of Pavements
CHAPTER 3
TYPES OF PAVEMENTS
There are various types of pavements depending upon the materials used; a briefs description
of all types is given here-
3.1 FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS
Bitumen has been widely used in the construction of flexible pavements for a long time. This
is the most convenient and simple type of construction. The cost of construction of single
lane bituminous pavement varies from 20 to 30 lakhs per km in plain areas. In some
applications, however, the performance of conventional bitumen may not be considered
satisfactory because of the following reasons
In summer season, due to high temperature, bitumen becomes soft resulting in
bleeding, rutting and segregation finally leading to failure of pavement.
In winter season, due to low temperature, the bitumen becomes brittle resulting in
cracking, ravelling and unevenness which makes the pavement unsuitable for use.
3.2 RIGID PAVEMENTS
Rigid pavements, though costly in initial investment, are cheap in long run because of low
maintenance costs. There are various merits in the use of Rigid pavements (Concrete
pavements) are summarized below:
Bitumen is derived from petroleum crude, which is in short supply globally and the
price of which has been rising steeply. India imports nearly 70% of the petroleum
crude. The demand for bitumen in the coming years is likely to grow steeply, far
outstripping the availability. Hence it will be in India's interest to explore alternative
binders. Cement is available in sufficient quantity in India, and its availability in the
future is also assured. Thus cement concrete roads should be the obvious choice in
future road programmes.
Besides the easy available of cement, concrete roads have a long life and are
practically maintenance-free.
Another major advantage of concrete roads is the savings in fuel by commercial
vehicles to an extent of 14-20%. The fuel savings themselves can support a large
programme of concreting
Cement concrete roads save a substantial quantity of stone aggregates and this factor
must be considered when a choice pavements is mad.

Chapter 4 Plain Concrete or short pavement slabs
CHAPTER 4
PLAIN CONCRETE OR SHORT PAVEMENT SLABS
This type of pavement consists of successive slabs whose length is limited to about 25 times
the slab thickness. At present it is recommended that the paving slabs not be made longer
than 5,even if the joints have dowels to transfer the loads. The movements as a result of
fluctuations in temperature and humidity are concentrated in the joints. Normally, these joints
are sealed to prevent water from penetrating the road structure. The width of the pavement
slabs is limited to a maximum of 4.5 m.
4.1 REINFORCED CONCRETE
Continuously reinforced concrete
Continuously reinforced concrete pavements are characterised by the absence of transverse
joints and are equipped with longitudinal steel reinforcement. The diameter of the reinforcing
bars is calculated in such a way that cracking can be controlled and that the cracks are
uniformly distributed (spacing at 1 to 3 m). The crack width has to remain very small, i.e. less
than 0.3 mm
Reinforced pavement slabs
Reinforced concrete pavement slabs are almost never used, except for inside or outside
industrial floors that are subjected to large loads or if the number of contraction joints has to
be limited.
Steel fibre concrete
The use of steel fibre concrete pavements is mainly limited to industrial floors. However, in
that sector they are used intensively. For road pavements steel fibre concrete can be used for
thin or very thin paving slabs or for very specific application

Chapter 5 Minerals Used
CHAPTER 5
MINERALS USED
Concrete is widely used in domestic, commercial, recreational, rural and educational
construction.
Communities around the world rely on concrete as a safe, strong and simple building
material. It is used in all types of construction; from domestic work to multi-storey office
blocks and shopping complexes.
Despite the common usage of concrete, few people are aware of the considerations involved
in designing strong, durable, high quality concrete.
There are mainly three materials used primarily-
Cement
Sand
Aggregate
5.1 Cement
Cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens independently, and can bind other
materials together. The word "cement" traces to the Romans, who used the
term caementicium to describe masonry resembling modern concrete that was made from
crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives that
were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cemented,
cemented, cement, and cement.
The most important uses of cement are as an ingredient in the production of mortar in
masonry, and of concrete, a combination of cement and an aggregate to form a strong
building material.
TYPES OF CEMENT:-
Portland cement Portland fly ash cement Portland pozzolana cement Portland silica
fume cement

Chapter 5 Minerals used
5.2 SAND
Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral
Particles. The composition of sand is highly variable, depending on the local rock sources and
conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and no
tropical
coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz.
The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example aragonite, which
has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life,
like coral and shellfish. It is, for example, the primary form of sand apparent in areas where
reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.
5.3 AGGREGATE
Aggregates are inert granular materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone that, along with
water and Portland cement, are an essential ingredient in concrete. For a good concrete mix,
aggregates need to be clean, hard, strong particles free of absorbed chemicals or coatings of
clay and other fine materials that could cause the deterioration of concrete. Aggregates,
which account for 60 to 75 percent of the total volume of concrete, are divided into two
distinct categories-fine and coarse. Fine aggregates generally consist of natural sand or
crushed stone with most particles passing through a 3/8-inch (9.5-mm) sieve. Coarse
aggregates are any particles greater than 0.19 inch (4.75 mm), but generally range between
3/8 and 1.5 inches (9.5 mm to 37.5 mm) in diameter. Gravels constitute the majority of coarse
aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone making up most of the remainder.
Once processed, the aggregates are handled and stored in a way that minimizes segregation
and degradation and prevents contamination. Aggregates strongly influence concrete's freshly
mixed and hardened properties, mixture proportions, and economy. Consequently, selection
aggregates is an important process. Although some variation in aggregate properties is
expected, characteristics that are considered when selecting aggregate include:
grading
durability
particle shape and surface texture
abrasion and skid resistance
unit weights and voids
absorption and surface moisture
Grading refers to the determination of the particle-size distribution for aggregate. Grading
limits and maximum aggregate size are specified because grading and size affect the amount
of aggregate used as well as cement and water requirements, workability.

Chapter6 Brick Bonds
CHAPTER6
BRICK BONDS
Bonds in brick work :-
Stretcher bond
Header bond
English bond
Flemish bond
Facing bond
English crossing bond
Brick on edge bond
Dutch bond
Racking bond
Zigzag bond
Garden wall bond

6.1 English and zigzag bond
consists of alternate course of headers and stretches. In this English bond arrangement,
vertical joints in the header courses come over each other and the vertical joints in the
stretcher course are also in the same line. For the breaking of vertical joints in the successive
course it is essential to place queen closer, after the first header in each heading course. The
following additional points should be noted in English bond construction:
(1) In English bond, a heading course should never start with a queen closer as it is liable to
get displaced in this position.
(2) In the stretcher course, the stretchers should have a minimum lap of 1/4th their length
over the headers.
(3) Walls having their thickness equal to an even number of half bricks, i.e., one brick thick
wail, 2 brick thick wall, 3 brick thick wall and so on, present the same appearance on both
the faces, i .e. a course consisting of headers on front face will show headers on the back face
also.
Isometric view of 1½ brick wall in English bond is shown below,
Fig 1.1 English bond
(4) In walls having their thickness equal to an odd number of half brick, i.e. 1½ brick thick walls or
2½ brick thick walls and so on, the same course will show stretchers on one face and headers on the
other.
(5) In thick walls the middle portion is entirely filled with header to prevent the formation of vertical
joints in the body of the wall.
(6) Since the number of vertical joints in the header course is twice the number of joints in the
stretcher course, the joints in the header course are made thinner than those in the stretcher course.

Zigzag bond
This is similar to herring-bone bond with the only difference that in this case the bricks are
laid in a zig-zag fashion. This is commonly adopted in brick paved flooring.
Fig 1.2 zigzag bond
6.2 Stretcher and header bond
The simplest to lay, and therefore the most common, the bricks are laid flat long side to the face
of the wall.
Fig 1.3 stretcher bond

Header bond
Bricks are laid flat one long side face and another to header end face. Also known as Dutch
bond.
Fig 1.4 header bond

Chapter7 Types of foundation
CHAPTER 7
PROCESS FOR CONSTUCTION COLUMNS
The word ‘column’ is related to building construction. The vertical support which is free from all
sides taking the load of beam slab etc. and transfers the load to the earth independently is called
column.
Column is constructed with the help of steel bars and cement concrete. In case of multi storey
and frame structure building constructions, the entire load is born by columns and the floor area/
internal space of building is freely adjusted according to the requirement.
The size, cement concrete ratio and numbers of steel bars with their diameter are available in
structural drawings which are designed according to the load born by the column and factor of
safety.
Fig 1.5 construction of columns

Chapter 7 process for construction columns
7.1 Foundation
The construction process of foundation is as follows:
• Excavating the earth from foundation
• Laying cement concrete in foundation
• Placing steel bar net in footing as per design and also placing vertical bars of column in footing
on the steel bar net as per design.
• Laying form work in footing.
• Laying cement concrete 1: 2:4 or 1:1-1/2:3 in footing up to required height as per design.
• Curing work and refilling of earth around footing.
Fig 1.6 foundation

Chapter 7 Types of foundation
7.2 Super Structure
After the construction of footing and pedestal the construction of column is started. The process
of construction is following.
• Tie up all rings around and into vertical steel bars according to design.
• Fix form work of required size with vertical steel bars.
• Lay cement concrete in form work according to design.
• Take proper curing of RCC columns

CHAPTER 8
TYPES OF FOUNDATION
Foundations are mainly of two types:
(i) shallow
(ii) deep foundations
8.1 Shallow foundations
Shallow foundations are used when the soil has sufficient strength within a short depth below the
ground level. They need sufficient plan area to transfer the heavy loads to the base soil. These
heavy loads are sustained by the reinforced concrete columns or walls (either of bricks or
reinforced concrete) of much less areas of cross-section due to high strength of bricks or
reinforced concrete when compared to that of soil. The strength of the soil, expressed as the safe
bearing capacity of the soil as discussed in sec.11.28.3, is normally supplied by the geotechnical
experts to the structural engineer. Shallow foundations are also designated as footings. The
different types of shallow foundations or footings are discussed below.
1. Isolated footings
These footings are for individual columns having the same plan forms of square, rectangular or
circular as that of the column, preferably maintaining the proportions and symmetry so that the
resultants of the applied forces and reactions coincide. Though sloped footings are economical in
respect of the material, the additional cost of formwork does not offset the cost of the saved material.
Therefore, stepped footings are more economical than the sloped ones. The adjoining soil below
footings generates upward pressure which bends the slab due to cantilever action. Hence, adequate
tensile reinforcement should be provided at the bottom of the slab (tension face). Clause 34.1.1 of IS
456 stipulates that the sloped or stepped footings, designed as a unit, should be constructed to ensure
the integrated action. Moreover, the effective cross-section in compression of sloped and stepped
footings shall be limited by the area above the neutral plane. Though symmetrical footings are
desirable, sometimes situation compels for unsymmetrical isolated footings (Eccentric footings or
footings with cut outs) either about one or both the axes
14

Fig 1.7 Isolated footings
1. Combined footings
When the spacing of the adjacent columns is so close that separate isolated footings are not
possible due to the overlapping areas of the footings or inadequate clear space between the
two areas of the footings, combined footings are the solution combining two or more
columns. Combined footing normally means a footing combining two columns. Such
footings are either rectangular or trapezoidal in plan forms with or without a beam joining the
two columns

Fig 1.8 Combined footings
2. Strap footings
When two isolated footings are combined by a beam with a view to sharing the loads of both the
columns by the footings, the footing is known as strap footing . The connecting beam is
designated as strap beam. These footings are required if the loads are heavy on columns and the
areas of foundation are not overlapping with each other

3. Raft or mat foundation
These are special cases of combined footing where all the columns of the building are having a
common foundation . Normally, for buildings with heavy loads or when the soil condition is
poor, raft foundations are very much useful to control differential settlement and transfer the
loads not exceeding the bearing capacity of the soil due to integral action of the raft foundation.
This is a threshold situation for shallow footing beyond which deep foundations have to be
adopted
Fig 1.9 raft and mat foundation

8.2 Deep Foundation
Fig 1.10 deep foundation

As mentioned earlier, the shallow foundations need more plan areas due to the low strength of
soil compared to that of masonry or reinforced concrete. However, shallow foundations are
selected when the soil has moderately good strength, except the raft foundation which is good in
poor condition of soil also. Raft foundations are under the category of shallow foundation as they
have comparatively shallow depth than that of deep foundation. It is worth mentioning that the
depth of raft foundation is much larger than those of other types of shallow foundations.
However, for poor condition of soil near to the surface, the bearing capacity is very less and
foundation needed in such situation is the pile foundation (Figs.11.28.12). Piles are, in fact, small
diameter columns which are driven or cast into the ground by suitable means. Precast piles are
driven and cast-in-situ are cast. These piles support the structure by the skin friction between the
pile surface and the surrounding soil and end bearing force, if such resistance is available to
provide the bearing force. Accordingly, they are designated as frictional and end bearing piles.
They are normally provided in a group with a pile cap at the top through which the loads of the
superstructure are transferred to the piles.
Piles are very useful in marshy land where other types of foundation are impossible to construct.
The length of the pile which is driven into the ground depends on the availability of hard
soil/rock or the actual load test. Another advantage of the pile foundations is that they can resist
uplift also in the same manner as they take the compression forces just by the skin friction in the
opposite direction.
However, driving of pile is not an easy job and needs equipment and specially trained persons or
agencies. Moreover, one has to select pile foundation in such a situation where the adjacent
buildings are not likely to be damaged due to the driving of piles. The choice of driven or bored
piles, in this regard, is critical.
Exhaustive designs of all types of foundations mentioned above are beyond the scope of this
course. Accordingly, this module is restricted to the design of some of the shallow footings,
frequently used for normal low rise buildings only.
