The accoutrements needed to construct a road depends upon the type of road ( trace, State trace, MDR, Village roads, etc.), the climate in which it needs to stand, loads coming on it, part of the country in which it's to be constructed, the vacuity of accoutrements locally, the frugality of the road, etc. There are some other minor effects that are also there.
The road is constructed in the following corridor For Public roadways, state roadways as per IRC and MORTH New Zealand
.1st is a dam in which soil of good quality is used depending upon the vacuity of the soil, tableware beach can also be used which needs to be confined by the soil.
2nd is Subgrade Subgrade generally consists of good quality Construction soil that has further bearing capacity than the dam and is also rich in some other laboratory test values. The consistency of this subcaste is generally kept at 500 mm as per design.
3rd is Sub-base It's generally a drainage subcaste and consists of grainy accoutrements. This grainy material is attained from gravestone crushing shops. It's also called GSB. The consistency of this subcaste is generally kept at 200 mm as per design.
4th is the Base layer It's done with WMM ( wet blend macadam). It contains gravestone summations of size 40 mm, 20 mm, 10 mm, gravestone dust, etc mixed well in standard proportion. It consists of clean, crushed, graded summations premixed with other grainy accoutrements and water and rolled to a thick mass on a set face. The consistency is generally kept at 250 mm.
5th is the Wearing course consists of DBM ( thick bituminous macadam) & Bituminous concrete (BC). The consistency of these layers depends upon the type of road whether it's a National Highway, State trace.
Piecemeal from all the below accoutrements, bitumen conflation is also needed as per IRC-16.
