•   Rural Road Connectivity is not only a key component of Rural Development by
    promoting access to economic and social services and thereby generating
    increased agricultural incomes and productive employment opportunities in
    India, it is also as a result, a key ingredient in ensuring sustainable poverty
    reduction. Notwithstanding the efforts made, over the years, at the State and
    Central levels, through different Programmes, about 40% of the Habitations in
    the country are still not connected by All-weather roads.
•   It is well known that even where connectivity has been provided, the roads
    constructed are of such quality (due to poor construction or maintenance) that
    they cannot always be categorized as All-weather roads.
•   With a view to redressing the situation, Government have launched the Pradhan
    Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana on 25th December, 2000 to provide all-weather
    access to unconnected habitations. The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
    (PMGSY) is a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme. 50% of the Cess on High
    Speed Diesel (HSD) is earmarked for this Programme.

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
                    PMGSY
•   The primary objective of the PMGSY is to provide Connectivity, by way of an All-
    weather Road (with necessary culverts and cross-drainage structures, which is
    operable throughout the year), to the eligible unconnected Habitations in the rural
    areas, in such a way that all Unconnected Habitations with a population of 1000
    persons and above are covered in three years (2000-2003) and all Unconnected
    Habitations with a population of 500 persons and above by the end of the Tenth
    Plan Period (2007). In respect of the Hill States (North-East, Sikkim, Himachal
    Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttaranchal) and the Desert Areas (as identified in the
    Desert Development Programme) as well as the Tribal (Schedule V) areas, the
    objective would be to connect Habitations with a population of 250 persons and
    above.
•   The PMGSY will permit the Upgradation (to prescribed standards) of the existing
    roads in those Districts where all the eligible Habitations of the designated
    population size (refer Para 2.1 above) have been provided all-weather road
    connectivity. However, it must be noted that Upgradation is not central to the
    Programme and cannot exceed 20% of the State’s allocation as long as eligible
    Unconnected Habitations in the State still exist. In Upgradation works, priority
    should be given to Through Routes of the Rural Core Network, which carry more
    traffic (see Para 3.7 below)

Necessity of Re-alignment
   •   Improvement of horizontal alignment design elements such as radius,
       super elevation, transition curve, clearance on inner side of the curve
   •   Improvement of vertical alignment design elements like steep gradients,
       changes in summit curve to increase sight distance, correction of
       undesirable undulations like humps and dips etc
   •   Raising level of portion of road which is subjected to flooding,
       submergence or water logging during monsoons
   •   Reconstruction of weak & narrow bridges & culverts & changes in
       water way at locations slightly away from existing site
   •   Construction of over bridges or under bridges at suitable locations
       across a railway line in place of level crossing or another roads to
       provide grade separate inter section
   •   Construction of bypass to avoid the road running through a town or city

Alignment for hill roads
 •   Minimum hair pin bends.
 •   Bends should be located on stable and flat slopes.
 •   Cross section for hair pin bends should be at intervals of 20-25m.
             15 m on either side of centre line in straight alignment
 •   Avoid bends in valleys.
 •   Survey for a width of ; 30m on sharp curves.

                                     Geometric Design

Cross Slope or Camber
•    It is the slope provided to the road surface in the transverse direction to drain off the rain water from the
     road surface. Drainage and quick disposal of water from pavements surface by providing cross slope is
     considered important because
       – To prevent entry of surface water into the sub grade soil through pavement, stability & life of
            pavement get affected if water enters in the sub grade and the soil gets soaked.
       – To prevent entry of water into the bitumen layer and results in deterioration of pavement layers.
•    Shape of Camber
       – Parabolic shape
       – Straight line camber
       – Combination of straight and parabolic shape

Sight Distance
    •   Sight distance available from a point is the actual distance along the road surface,
        which driver from specific height above the carriage way has visibility of the
        stationary or moving object.
    •   Length of road visible ahead the driver at any instance.
    •   Sight distance are of
         –   Stopping or absolute minimum sight distance
         –   Safe over taking or passing sight distance
         –   Safe sight distance for entering into uncontrolled intersections

   Stopping Sight Distance
        – Minimum sight distance available on highway at any spot should be of
          sufficient to length to stop vehicle traveling at design speed, safely without
          collision with any other obstruction.
        – Depends on factor
              •   Total reaction time of driver
              •   Speed of vehicle
              •   Efficiency of brakes

PIEV Theory
   •   According to this theory the total reaction time of the driver is split into four
       parts viz. time by the driver for
        – Perception
             • It is time required for the sensation received by the eyes or ears to be transmitted to the
               brain through nervous system & spinal cord.
        – Intellection
             • It is time required for understanding the situation
        – Emotion
             • It is time elapsed during emotional sensations and disturbance such as fear, anger or
               other feelings.
        – Volition
             • It is time taken for final action.

Analysis of Stopping Sight Distance
   1.       It is sum of
        –       Lag distance (distance traveled by vehicle during total reaction time)
        –       Braking distance (distance traveled by vehicle after application of brakes)
   2.       Ld = v t meters
   3.       Bd = (V.V) / (2gf) meters

   4.       SSD = Ld + Bd
              = (v t ) + {(v v) / (2gf)} meters
              = (0.278 v t ) + {(v v) / (254 f)} kmph
        V = speed of vehicles
        F = design coefficient of friction 0.4 to 0.35

Analysis of Overtaking Sight Distance
   1.     The minimum distance open to the vision of the driver of vehicle intending
          to overtake of slow vehicle ahead with the safety against traffic of opposite
          direction is known as Min. OSD or Safe OSD
   2.     Factor for min. OSD
        1.    Overtaking speed of vehicle
        2.    Overtaken speed of vehicle
        3.    Speed of Vehicle coming from opposite side
        4.    Skill and reaction time of driver
        5.    Rate of acceleration of overtaking vehicle
        6.    Gradient of road
   3.     (Justo Khanna Page no. 96)
        OSD = 0.28 Vb t + 0.28 Vb T + 2s+ 0.28 V T
        Vb = speed of over taking vehicle kmph
        T = reaction time of driver = 2secs
        V = speed of overtaking vehicle or design speed kmph
        T = (14.4 s / A)^0.5 and Spacing = s = (0.2 Vb + 6 )

PCU Passenger Car Unit
   1.    Different class of vehicles such as cars, vans, buses, trucks, auto rickshaw,
         motor cycles, pedal cycles, bullock carts, etc are found to use common
         roadway facilities without segregation on most of the roads in developing
         countries like India.
   2.    The flow of traffic with unrestrained mixing of different vehicle classes on
         the roadways forms the heterogeneous traffic flow or mixed traffic flow.
   3.    Different vehicle have different dimension like speed, length,
         acceleration.. and apart this it has different driver behavior..
   4.    Common practice of considering the passenger car as the standard vehicle
         unit to covert the other vehicle classes and this unit is called as PCU
   5.    PCU/lane or PCU/ hour or PCU/ kilometer length of lane..

Traffic Signals
   1.     At intersection where there are a large number of crossing and right turn
          traffic, there is possibility of several accidents as there can’t be orderly
          movements.
   2.     Traffic signals are control devices which could alternately direct traffic to
          stop and proceed at intersections using Red, Yellow and Green.
   3.     Advantages
        1.    Smooth movements and crossings
        2.    Reduce accidents
        3.    Safety
        4.    Control speed
   4.     Disadvantages
        1.    Rear end collisions may increase
        2.    Improper design and location of signal may lead to violation of control systems
        3.    Failure of signal due to electric power.

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test
 •   CBR was developed by the California Division
     of Highways as a method of classifying and
     evaluating soil- sub grade and base course
     materials for flexible pavements.
 •   CBR is a measure of resistance of a material to
     penetration of standard plunger under
     controlled density and moisture conditions.
 •   CBR test may be conducted in remoulded or
     undisturbed sample.
 •   Test consists of causing a cylindrical plunger of
     50mm diameter to penetrate a pavement
     component material at 1.25mm/minute. The
     loads for 2.5mm and 5mm are recorded.
 •   This load is expressed as a percentage of
     standard load value at a respective deformation
     level to obtain CBR value.
 Definition:
 • It is the ratio of force per unit area
    required to penetrate a soil mass with
    standard circular piston at the rate of
    1.25 mm/min. to that required for the
    corresponding penetration of a
    standard material.

Bituminous Mix Design : Introduction
  • A good design of bituminous mix is expected to result in a mix which
    is adequately
      –   strong
      –   durable
      –   resistive to fatigue & permanent deformation
      –   Environment friendly
      –   economical and so on.
  • A mix designer tries to achieve these requirements through a number of
    tests on the mix with varied proportions and finalizes with the best one.
  • This often involves a balance between mutually conflicting parameters.
  • The present article tries to identify some of the issues involved in this
    art of bituminous mix design and the direction of current research.

Selection of Mix Constituents :
                       Binder
  • Generally binders are selected based on some simple tests and
    other site-specific requirements.
  • These tests could be different depending of the type of binder
    viz. penetration grade, cutback, emulsion, modified binder etc.
    For most of these tests, the test conditions are pre-fixed in the
    specifications.
  • Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFO), Pressurized Aging
    Vessel (PAV), Dynamic Shear Rheometer, Rotational
    Viscometer, Bending Beam Rheometer, Direct Tension Tester
    are some of the tests recommended in Super pave binder
    selection.

Selection of Mix Constituents :
                           Aggregates
  • Number of tests are recommended in the specifications to judge the
    properties of the aggregates, e.g. strength, hardness, toughness,
    durability, angularity, shape factors, clay content, adhesion to binder
    etc.
  • Angularity ensures adequate shear strength due to aggregate
    interlocking, and limiting flakiness ensures that aggregates will not
    break during compaction and handling.
  • The restricted zone and control points are incorporated in order to
    ensure certain proportion of fines for
      – proper interlocking of aggregates
      – to avoid the fall in shear strength of mix due to excess of fines
      – to maintain requisite Voids in Mineral Aggregates (VMA).
  • These control points and restriction zones are more as guidelines for
    selecting a gradation than a compulsion to be followed.

Role of Mix Volumetric Parameters
  •   Bitumen holds the aggregates in position, and the load is taken by the
      aggregate mass through the contact points.
  •   If all the voids are filled by bitumen, then the load is rather transmitted by
      hydrostatic pressure through bitumen, and strength of the mix therefore
      reduces.
  •   That is why stability of the mix starts reducing when bitumen content is
      increased further beyond certain value.
  •   However excess void will make the mix weak from its elastic modulus and
      fatigue life considerations. The chances of oxidative hardening of bitumen are
      more, where, the mix has more voids.
  •   Evaluation and selection of aggregate gradation to achieve minimum VMA is
      the most difficult and time- consuming step in the mix design process.
  •   VMA specification has always been a big issue in mix design specifications.
      The recommendation of minimum VMA is sometimes questioned by the
      researchers, and is said not to be equitable across different gradations. It is seen
      that the bitumen film thickness, rather than the VMA, may be related to
      durability of the mix.

  • 2. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana PMGSY • Rural Road Connectivity is not only a key component of Rural Development by promoting access to economic and social services and thereby generating increased agricultural incomes and productive employment opportunities in India, it is also as a result, a key ingredient in ensuring sustainable poverty reduction. Notwithstanding the efforts made, over the years, at the State and Central levels, through different Programmes, about 40% of the Habitations in the country are still not connected by All-weather roads. • It is well known that even where connectivity has been provided, the roads constructed are of such quality (due to poor construction or maintenance) that they cannot always be categorized as All-weather roads. • With a view to redressing the situation, Government have launched the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana on 25th December, 2000 to provide all-weather access to unconnected habitations. The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme. 50% of the Cess on High Speed Diesel (HSD) is earmarked for this Programme. April 18, 2013 Transportation Engineering Rahul 2 Agrawal
  • 3. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana PMGSY • The primary objective of the PMGSY is to provide Connectivity, by way of an All- weather Road (with necessary culverts and cross-drainage structures, which is operable throughout the year), to the eligible unconnected Habitations in the rural areas, in such a way that all Unconnected Habitations with a population of 1000 persons and above are covered in three years (2000-2003) and all Unconnected Habitations with a population of 500 persons and above by the end of the Tenth Plan Period (2007). In respect of the Hill States (North-East, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttaranchal) and the Desert Areas (as identified in the Desert Development Programme) as well as the Tribal (Schedule V) areas, the objective would be to connect Habitations with a population of 250 persons and above. • The PMGSY will permit the Upgradation (to prescribed standards) of the existing roads in those Districts where all the eligible Habitations of the designated population size (refer Para 2.1 above) have been provided all-weather road connectivity. However, it must be noted that Upgradation is not central to the Programme and cannot exceed 20% of the State’s allocation as long as eligible Unconnected Habitations in the State still exist. In Upgradation works, priority should be given to Through Routes of the Rural Core Network, which carry more traffic (see Para 3.7 below) April 18, 2013 Transportation Engineering Rahul 3 Agrawal

  • 6. Jayakar Committee,1927 • Road development should be made a national interest since the provincial and local govt do not have financial and technical capacity for road development. • Levy extra tax on petrol from road users to create the road development fund. • To establish a semi-official ,technical institution to pool technical knowledge, sharing of ideas and to act as an advisory body. • To create a national level institution to carry research , development works and consultation.

  • 35. Bituminous Mix Design : Introduction • A good design of bituminous mix is expected to result in a mix which is adequately – strong – durable – resistive to fatigue & permanent deformation – Environment friendly – economical and so on. • A mix designer tries to achieve these requirements through a number of tests on the mix with varied proportions and finalizes with the best one. • This often involves a balance between mutually conflicting parameters. • The present article tries to identify some of the issues involved in this art of bituminous mix design and the direction of current research. April 18, 2013 Transportation Engineering Rahul 35 Agrawal
  • 36. Selection of Mix Constituents : Binder • Generally binders are selected based on some simple tests and other site-specific requirements. • These tests could be different depending of the type of binder viz. penetration grade, cutback, emulsion, modified binder etc. For most of these tests, the test conditions are pre-fixed in the specifications. • Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFO), Pressurized Aging Vessel (PAV), Dynamic Shear Rheometer, Rotational Viscometer, Bending Beam Rheometer, Direct Tension Tester are some of the tests recommended in Super pave binder selection. April 18, 2013 Transportation Engineering Rahul 36 Agrawal
  • 37. Selection of Mix Constituents : Aggregates • Number of tests are recommended in the specifications to judge the properties of the aggregates, e.g. strength, hardness, toughness, durability, angularity, shape factors, clay content, adhesion to binder etc. • Angularity ensures adequate shear strength due to aggregate interlocking, and limiting flakiness ensures that aggregates will not break during compaction and handling. • The restricted zone and control points are incorporated in order to ensure certain proportion of fines for – proper interlocking of aggregates – to avoid the fall in shear strength of mix due to excess of fines – to maintain requisite Voids in Mineral Aggregates (VMA). • These control points and restriction zones are more as guidelines for selecting a gradation than a compulsion to be followed. April 18, 2013 Transportation Engineering Rahul 37 Agrawal
  • 38. Role of Mix Volumetric Parameters • Bitumen holds the aggregates in position, and the load is taken by the aggregate mass through the contact points. • If all the voids are filled by bitumen, then the load is rather transmitted by hydrostatic pressure through bitumen, and strength of the mix therefore reduces. • That is why stability of the mix starts reducing when bitumen content is increased further beyond certain value. • However excess void will make the mix weak from its elastic modulus and fatigue life considerations. The chances of oxidative hardening of bitumen are more, where, the mix has more voids. • Evaluation and selection of aggregate gradation to achieve minimum VMA is the most difficult and time- consuming step in the mix design process. • VMA specification has always been a big issue in mix design specifications. The recommendation of minimum VMA is sometimes questioned by the researchers, and is said not to be equitable across different gradations. It is seen that the bitumen film thickness, rather than the VMA, may be related to durability of the mix. April 18, 2013 Transportation Engineering Rahul 38 Agrawal
