In Western countries, a bead frame similar to the Russian abacus but

with straight wires and a vertical frame is common (see image).

The wireframe may be used either with positional notation like other
abacuses (thus the 10-wire version may represent numbers up to 9,999,999,999),
or each bead may represent one unit (e.g. 74 can be represented by shifting all
beads on 7 wires and 4 beads on the 8th wire, so numbers up to 100 may be
represented). In the bead frame shown, the gap between the 5th and 6th wire,
corresponding to the color change between the 5th and the 6th bead on each
wire, suggests the latter use. Teaching multiplication, e.g. 6 times 7, may be
represented by shifting 7 beads on 6 wires.

The Wet Aggregate Impact Value (IS:5640) shall not exceed 50.

Where locally available Murrum are used in the Granular Sub base, it
shall be ensured through adequate tests on representative samples, that all the
requirements set out in this Clause are satisfied.

401.3. Strength of Sub-base

It shall be ensured prior to actual execution that the material to be used

in the sub-base shall have a minimum Soaked CBR value of 20*.

When directed by the Engineer, this shall be verified by performing

CBR tests in the laboratory as required on specimens remoulded at field dry
density and moisture content and any other tests for the “quality” of materials,
as may be necessary.

401.4. Construction Operations

401.4.1. Preparation of sub grade: Immediately, prior to the laying of sub-

base, the sub grade already finished to Clause 303 shall be prepared by
removing all vegetation and other extraneous matter, lightly sprinkled with
water if necessary and rolled with two passes of 80-100 kN smooth wheeled
roller.

The sequence of construction operations shall be such that the

construction of granular sub base layer shall match the construction of the
adjoining layer in the shoulders, as per Clause 407.4.1.

401.4.2. Spreading and compacting: The sub-base material of grading

specified in the Contract shall be spread on the prepared sub grade with the
help of suitable tractor-towed appliances, for maintaining the required slope
and grade during the operation or other means as approved by the Engineer.

When the sub-base material consists of combination of materials

mentioned in Clause 401.2.1, mixing shall be done mechanically by the mix-
in-place method or by an approved mixing plant.

* In case the sub-base material of the requisite soaked CBR value is not available
within economical leads, the sub-base material meeting any of the prescribed
grading and other requirements with a soaked CBR value of not less than 15 can
be permitted with the approval of the competent authority.
 Manual mixing shall be permitted only where the width of laying is not
adequate for mechanical operations, as in small-sized jobs. The equipment
used for mix-in-place construction shall be a tractor-towed rotavator or similar
approved equipment capable of mixing the material to the desired degree. If so
desired by the Engineer, trial runs with the equipment shall be carried out to
establish its suitability for the work.

Moisture content of the loose material shall be checked in accordance

with IS: 2720 (Part 2) and suitably adjusted by sprinkling additional water
from a truck mounted or trailer mounted water tank and suitable for applying
water uniformly and at controlled quantities to variable widths of surface or
other means approved by the Engineer so that, at the time of compaction, it is
from 1 per cent above to 2 per cent below the optimum moisture content
corresponding to IS:2720 (Part 7). While adding water, due allowance shall be
made for evaporation losses. After water has been added, the material shall be
processed by mechanical or other approved means, like, tractor-towed disc
harrows, rotavators until the layer is uniformly wet.

Immediately thereafter, rolling shall start. If the thickness of the

compacted layer does not exceed 100 mm, a smooth wheeled roller of 80 to
100 kN weight may be used. For a compacted single layer upto 225 mm the
compaction shall be done with the help of a vibratory roller of minimum 80 to
100 kN static weight. Rolling shall commence at the lower edge and proceed
towards the upper edge longitudinally for portions having unidirectional cross
fall and superelevation and shall commence at the edges and progress towards
the centre for portions having cross fall on both sides.

Each pass of the roller shall uniformly overlap not less than one-third
of the track made in the preceding pass. During rolling, the grade and cross
fall (camber) shall be checked, with the help of templates and straight edge,
and any high spots or depressions, which become apparent, corrected by
removing or adding fresh material. The speed of the roller shall not exceed 5
km per hour.

Rolling shall be continued till the density achieved is at least 100 per
cent of the maximum dry density for the material determined as per IS:2720
(Part 7). The surface of any layer of material on completion of compaction
shall be well closed, free from movement under compaction equipment and
from compaction planes, ridges, cracks or loose material. All loose, segregated
or otherwise defective areas shall be made good to the full thickness of layer
and re-compacted.

401.5. Aggregate Plugs

When the granular sub-base is extended over the full formation, as

shown on the drawings, the exposed edges shall be protected with suitable
aggregate plugs, 200 to 300 mm wide, as specified on the drawings.

401.6. Surface Finish and Quality Control of Work

 The surface finish of construction shall conform to the requirements of
Clause 1802.

Control on the quality of materials and works shall be exercised by the

Engineer in accordance with Section 1800.

401.7. Arrangements for Traffic

During the period of construction, arrangement of traffic shall be

maintained in accordance with Clause 111.

401.8. Measurements for Payment

Granular sub-base shall be paid as finished work in position on cross-

sectional measurements and computing the volume of GSB work in cubic
metres by avg. area method.

The protection of edges of granular sub-base extended over the full

formation as shown in the drawing shall be considered incidental to the work
of providing granular sub-base and as such no extra payment shall be made for
the same.

401.9. Rate

The Contract unit rate for granular sub-base shall be payment in full
for carrying out the required operations including full compensation for:

(i) making arrangements for traffic to Clause 111 except for initial treatment to
verges, shoulders and construction of diversions;

a. furnishing all materials to be incorporated in the work including all

royalties, fees, rents where necessary and all leads and lifts;

b. all labour, tools, equipment and incidentals to complete the work to the
Specifications;
c. carrying out the work in part widths of road where directed; and
carrying out the required tests for quality control

Item No.58 Providing and fixing pre-cast Rubber Dye / steel Dye inter locking
concrete block 60mm thick with grade of concrete M300 pnumatic
compressed / vibrated mechanically and as per approved design
Confirming to IS 15658 : 2006 including 35 mm Sand layer for levelling
and filling the joint with sand in proper line and level as per guidlines of
IRC : SP 63-2018 etc. Complete.
In general the work shall be carried out as per the standard
specifications of P.W.D. / C.P.W.D. relevant drawings and as per the item
description & as per instructions of Engineer in Charge.
Materials and Workmanship :
 The Paver blocks of approved make only shall be used.
The paver block shall be manufactured on the latest Hi-tech plant.
Paver block shall be of approved shape, size and colour or combination of
them to attain desired aesthetics and environment. The Paver block shall be
rubber dyed, pneumatic compressed, mechanically pressedwith top
reflectivesurface&shall be highly durable and shall not require CEMENT for
fixing (laying) and shall be easy for laying and it can reusable. The
compressive Strength of paver blocks shall be 200 kg/cm2 and above.
The surface of the paver blocks shall be slightly rough textured and the
edges shall be tapered so as to give good skid resisting properties.

The minimum thickness of the paver block shall be 60 mm .

Installation :
Installation of paving blocks shall be so simple that it can be removed
and relaid at a later date if repair is necessary or to accommodate service lines
without the usual ugly scar as is now common with concrete or asphalt
monolithic surfacing.

Preparing Base :
Special care shall be taken in preparing the base to assure a permanent
installation. The depth of the base will be determined by the load factor and
the condition of soil.

Base :
The base should be of sand.
The base of sand shall be total 75 mm thick and shall be well
compacted with a vibrating type compactor. This should consist of a good
Grade sand. This should then be covered with sand screeded level but not
compacted.

Levelling the Base :

This is an important step in installation to achieve a good level job
when finished. Make sure the base is levelled properly. Generally the most
popular method of levelling is with a screed which is usually a long 2” x 6”
board. It is very important that the board is straight, not warped or twisted.
Although for larger commercial jobs screeding bars or pipes may be used. A
frame is required to maintain the base. The levelling of this frame will indicate
the level of the area.

Placing Paving Blocks :

Blocks should be placed in the desired pattern close together. The
spaces between blocks should not exceed ¼ “ (3 mm). The spacing should be
consistent. This will help maintain a uniform pattern. When laying each row
the installer should stand on the previously laid stones. Cutting of stones
where necessary can be done with a splitter chisel or masonry saw as required.
Completing the Job :
The paver blocks should then be tamped down and leveled with a
vibrating plate compactor. This will bring them to their true grade as well as
level the blocks. Sand will be forced into spaces to make blocks firm and free
of movement. Finish the job by sweeping dry sand into the joints. The edges
/ends of the pavement shall be finished with M-250 concrete. The rate shall be
inclusive of concrete.

Mode of Measurement and Payment :

The rate includes all materials, labour, tools, plants in satisfactory
completion of work as specified above.
The rate shall be for unit of one sq.mt. for actual work done.
