    The document provides guidelines for mix design of dry lean concrete (DLC) to be used as sub-base in concrete pavements. It specifies requirements such as a minimum thickness of 150mm for major projects, use of cement types based on sulphate content in subgrade, maximum aggregate size and water absorption, aggregate grading and proportions, use of mineral admixtures, minimum cementitious content and strength requirements. It also provides instructions for trial mixes, compaction, curing and construction.

    Mix Design for DLC: IRC SP-

    • DLC to be used as sub-base in concrete pavements.

    • Should extend beyond the pavement edge by 500 mm to facilitate


    movement of paver trucks. In case of semi-mechanized or manual
    construction the offset should be 200 mm.

    • A minimum thickness of 150 mm recommended for all major projects of SH


    and NH.

    • For other roads: 100 mm.

    • Types of cement: OPC, PPC, PSC,

    • If subgrade contains soluble sulphates > 0.5%, then cement shall be


    sulphate resisting Portland cement or PSC with slag > 50%.
    • Maximum size of CA : 26.5 mm; maximum water absorption: 3%.

    • Combined aggregate grading:


    • Mineral admixtures: Flyash, 15-30% or GBFS, 25-50% by weight of
    cementitious materials.

    • In any case OPC > 100 kg/m3.

    • The average compressive strength of each consecutive group of 5 concrete


    cubes shall not be less than 7 MPa at 7 days. In addition, the compressive
    strength of any individual concrete cube shall not be less than 5.5 MPa at 7
    days.

    • Maximum aggregate to cement ratio: 14:1 for OPC and 12:1 for PPC/PSC

    • Minimum cementitious material content: 140 kg/m3.

    • Increase cemetitious material content if desired strength is not met.


    • Optimum water content to be determined for achieving full compaction under rollers.

    • Make trial mixes with water content 5-7% by weight of total material.

    • Compaction should be done in three layers using a vibratory hammer.

    • Moisture-density curves to be drawn.

    • While laying 1% higher moisture content may be adopted to compensate for loss due to
    evaporation.

    • To facilitate quick disposal of water that is likely to enter the subgrade, a drainage layer
    (GSB) shall be provided below the sub-base throughout the road width.

    • Subgrade to be compacted at minimum 97% of modified proctor density.


    • Hydrostatic paver to be used for placing.

    • Compaction and final finishing should be completed before 2 hours.

    • Work shall not proceed if temperature of concrete > 30 0C

    • Double Drum smooth-wheeled vibratory rollers of minimum 80 to


    100 KN static weight are considered to be suitable for rolling dry lean
    concrete.

    • Curing shall be done by covering the surface by hessian cloth in two


    layers which shall be kept continuously moist for 7 days by sprinkling
    water.
    • Solve: Assume the cement to be OPC, find the quantity required for 5
    cubes.
