mixture shall satisfy the minimum CBR requirement of contract specific Appendix 7/1 when tested in accordance
with clause 7 of BS 1377-4, with surcharge discs. The specimens shall be tested in a soaked condition. The mixture
shall be tested at the density and moisture content likely to develop in equilibrium field conditions which shall be
taken as being the density relating to the uniform air voids content of 5% and the value of optimum water content
declared when tested as required by BS EN 13285.
(02/16) Frost Heave
7 (02/16) Subject to the tolerances given in Table 7/1 and unless otherwise stated in contract specific
Appendix7/1, material shall not be frost susceptible if it is used within 450 mm of the designed final surface of a
road or paved central reserve, or 350 mm if the Mean Annual Frost Index (MAFI) of the site is less than50.
8 (02/16) Material shall be classified as non-frost-susceptible if the mean heave is 15 mm or less, when tested in
accordance with BS 812-124. Comparator specimens in accordance with Annex B of BS 812-124 shall be used.
802 (02/16) Transport, Laying, Compaction and Trafficking of Unbound Mixtures

(02/16) Transporting
1 (02/16) Unbound mixtures shall be protected from drying out and segregation both during transit to the point
where it is to be laid and whilst awaiting tipping.
(02/16) Laying
2 (02/16) Unbound mixtures in a frozen condition shall not be incorporated in the works but may be used, if
acceptable, when thawed. Unbound mixtures shall not be laid on any surface which is frozen or covered withice.
3 (02/16) All unbound mixtures shall be placed and spread evenly. Spreading shall be undertaken either
concurrently with placing or without delay. Unbound mixtures shall be spread using a paving machine or a suitable
spreader box and operated with a mechanism which levels off the material to an even depth.
4 (02/16) Except where otherwise stated in contract specific Appendix 7/1, material up to 225 mm compacted
thickness shall be spread in one layer so that after compaction the total thickness is as specified. Material of
compacted thickness greater than 225 mm shall be laid in two or more layers and the minimum compacted
thickness of any such layer shall be 110 mm. Where the layers of unbound mixtures are of unequal thickness, the
lowest layer shall be the thickest layer.
(02/16) Compaction
5 (02/16) Compaction shall be completed as soon as possible after the mixture has been spread and in accordance
with the requirements for the individual mixtures.

Volume 1 Series 800
6 (02/16) Full compaction shall be obtained over the full area including in the vicinity of both longitudinal and
transverse joints.
7 (02/16) Compaction of unbound mixtures shall be carried out by a method specified in Table 8/4, unless the
Contractor demonstrates at site trials that a state of compaction achieved by an alternative method is equivalent to
or better than that using the specified method.
8 (02/16) The surface of any layer of material shall on completion of compaction and immediately before
overlaying, be well closed, free from movement under construction plant and from ridges, cracks, loose material,
pot holes, ruts or other defects. All loose, segregated or otherwise defective areas shall be removed to the full
thickness of the layer, and new material laid and compacted.
9 (02/16) For the purposes of Table 8/4 the following shall apply:
(i) The number of passes is the number of times that each point on the surface of the layer being compacted
shall be traversed by the item of compaction plant in its operating mode (or struck, in the case of power
rammers).
(ii) The compaction plant in Table 8/4 is categorised in terms of static mass. The mass per metre width of
roll is the total mass on the roll divided by the total roll width. Where a smooth-wheeled roller has more
than one axle, the category of the machine shall be determined on the basis of the axle giving the highest
value of mass per metre width.
(iii) For pneumatic-tyred rollers the mass per wheel is the total mass of the roller divided by the number of
wheels. In assessing the number of passes of pneumatic-tyred rollers the effective width shall be the sum
of the widths of the individual wheel tracks together with the sum of the spacings between the wheel
tracks provided that each spacing does not exceed 230 mm. Where the spacings exceed 230 mm the
effective width shall be the sum of the widths of the individual wheel tracks only.
(iv) Vibratory rollers are self-propelled or towed smooth-wheeled rollers having means of applying
mechanical vibration to one or more rolls:
(a) The requirements for vibratory rollers are based on the use of the lowest gear on a self-
propelled machine with mechanical transmission and a speed of 1.5-2.5 km/h for a towed
machine or a self-propelled machine with hydrostatic transmission. If higher gears or
speeds are used an increased number of passes shall be provided in proportion to the
increase in speed of travel.
(b) Where the mechanical vibration is applied to two rolls in tandem, the minimum number of
passes shall be half the number given in Table 8/4 for the appropriate mass per metre width
of one vibrating roll but if one roll differs in mass per metre width from the other, the
number of passes shall be calculated as for the roll with the smaller value. Alternatively the
minimum number of passes may be determined by treating the machine as having a single
vibrating roll with a mass per metre width equal to that of the roll with the higher value.
(c) Vibratory rollers operating without vibration shall be classified as smooth-wheeled rollers.
(d) Vibratory rollers shall be operated with their vibratory mechanism operating at the
frequency of vibration recommended by the manufacturer. All such rollers shall be
equipped, or provided with devices indicating the frequency at which the mechanism is
operating and the speed of travel. Both devices shall be capable of being safely read by an
inspector alongside the machine.
(v) Vibrating-plate compactors are machines having a base-plate to which is attached a source of vibration
consisting of one or two eccentrically-weighted shafts:
(a) The mass per square metre of base-plate of a vibrating-plate compactor is calculated by
dividing the total mass of the machine in its working condition by its area in contact with
compacted material.

Volume 1 Series 800
(b) Vibrating-plate compactors shall be operated at the frequency of vibration recommended

by the manufacturer. They shall normally be operated at travelling speeds of less than
1 km/h but if higher speeds are necessary, the number of passes shall be increased in
proportion to the increase in speed of travel.
(vi) Vibro-tampers are machines in which an engine driven reciprocating mechanism acts on a spring system,
through which oscillations are set up in a base-plate.
(vii) Power rammers are machines which are actuated by explosions in an internal combustion cylinder; each
explosion being controlled manually by the operator. One pass of a power rammer shall be considered to
have been made when the compacting shoe has made one strike on the area in question.
(viii) Combinations of different types of plant or different categories of the same plant will be permitted; in
which case the number of passes for each shall be such proportion of the appropriate number in
Table 8/4 as will together produce the same total compactive effort as any one operated singly, in
accordance with Table 8/4.

(02/16) Use of Surfaces by Construction Plant and Other Traffic

10 (02/16) Construction plant and other traffic used on pavements under construction shall be suitable in relation
to the material, condition and thickness of the courses it traverses so that damage is not caused to the subgrade or
the pavement courses already constructed. The wheels or tracks of plant moving over the various pavement courses
shall be kept free from deleterious materials.

Volume 1 Series 800
11 (02/16) Where the Contractor proposes to use the unbound mixture layers for construction plant he shall
improve these layers where necessary, to accommodate the method of construction and the type of plant and
vehicles which he proposes to use, in order to avoid damage to the laid layer(s), any capping and the subgrade. Any
permanent thickening shall be across the whole width of the pavement. Temporary thickening shall not impede
drainage of any layer or the subgrade.
(02/16) Trafficking Trial
12 (02/16) When required by contract specific Appendix 7/1, the Contractor shall undertake a Trafficking Trial
incorporating the unbound mixture proposed for use in the permanent works. A trial area shall be constructed,
trafficked and assessed in accordance with the procedure described in sub-Clauses 13 to 18 of this Clause. The
mean vertical deformation after 1000 equivalent standard axles shall be less than 30 mm when measured in
accordance with the procedure stated in sub-Clause 17 of this Clause.
Proposals for trafficking trials shall be submitted to the Overseeing Organisation for review and acceptance five
days in advance of construction.
(02/16) Trial Procedure
13 (02/16) The trial area shall be located on a formation prepared in accordance with the specification. The trial
area may be located so that it can be incorporated within the permanent works if the resistance to wheel track
rutting is demonstrated to comply with sub-Clause 12 of this Clause.
14 (02/16) The trial area shall be at least 60 m long, and of sufficient width that when trafficked, the wheel paths of
the test vehicle shall be at least 1 m from either edge of the top of the unbound mixture layer. The unbound mixture
layer shall be compacted to the thickness specified in contract specific Appendix 7/1. The formation shall extend for
a further 1 m either side of the unbound mixture layer.
15 (02/16) A sufficient run off/run on area shall be constructed at each end of the trial area of the same width, and
compacted to the same level, as the trial area, to ensure correct tracking by the test vehicle and minimise dynamic
effects of the vehicle bouncing on its springs. Suitable guidance shall be given to assist the driver in maintaining
the same track in each pass and to achieve channelled trafficking. Examples of suitable guides would be a string or
painted line.
(02/16) Mixtures
16 (02/16) The unbound mixture used in the trial shall be transported, laid and compacted using the equipment
proposed for use in the works.
17 (02/16) Maximum vertical deformation shall be measured in both wheel tracks using optical or laser levels
at pre-determined monitoring points on five transverse lines spaced equally along the length of the trial bay.
The transverse lines at the ends of the trial area shall be at least 5 m from the run off/run on areas. The average
deformation of the two wheel tracks after 1000 standard axles shall be recorded.
(02/16) Reporting and Acceptance of Trafficking Trial Area
18 (02/16) The Contractor shall provide the Overseeing Organisation, for acceptance, with a report on the
Trafficking Trial, stating how the use of the unbound mixture was validated. The main construction of the
permanent works shall not start until the Trafficking Trial area has been accepted by the Overseeing Organisation
within two working days of receiving the Trafficking Trial area report.
803 (02/16) Type 1 Unbound Mixtures

1 (02/16) Type 1 unbound mixture shall be made from crushed rock, crushed slag, crushed concrete, recycled
aggregates or well burnt non-plastic shale and may contain up to 10% by mass of natural sand that passes the 4 mm
test sieve. Where permitted by contract specific Appendix 7/1, crushed gravel complying with
sub-Clause 803.7 may be used.

Volume 1 Series 800
2 (02/16) The mixture shall comply with BS EN 13285 and the requirements of Table 8/1. The grading
requirements for the mixture are summarised in Table 8/5.
