pavement –When constructing manually, it is permitted to increase bitumen amount by 5% – Rate of bitumen in table above excludes prime coat 5.2 To make the material volume accurate and to check operation of machine as well as the combination of stages of bitumen spreading, chip paving, compaction, before mass scaled construction, it is advisable to conduct trial construction with one section of at least 100m and adjust appropriate to actual condition Preparation before the surface treatment 6.1 Depending on the type of pavement to be treated using the asphalt cement, whether it is new or existing crushed stone pavement, stone aggregates pavement, crushed stone pavement or cement consolidated stone aggregates, soil pavement consolidated with cement or lime, newly constructed or existing pavement (asphalt concrete, penetration macadam, the surface treatment and so on), the preparation of surface treatment may be different Before treatment, the pavement structure shall satisfy requirements in terms of strength and geometric factor as designed If it is existing one, it must be repaired to resume the shape, cross section and flatness The surface treatment for pavement shall be conducted only in sunny and dry weather, with temperature no more than 15oC Otherwise, it is preferable to apply method of the surface treatment with acid based emulsified asphalt 6.1.1 Prepare surface for crushed stone base course 6.1.1.1 Before treating, the surface of crushed stone base course must be cleaned, dried and leveled, with cross slope as in design TCVN 8863 : 2011 If it is crushed stone base newly constructed, it shall be accepted following requirements in the TCVN 8859:2011 - Crushed stone base in highway structure – Material, construction and acceptance If it is existing base course, repair of leveling, filling of pothole and depression shall be completed at least days before 6.1.1.2 To sweep, clean, blow (with compressed air) the crushed stone base course Be careful when using cleaning truck to prevent pulling out of aggregates on the upper side of pavement If the pavement is dirty, muddy, flush water to clean it and wait until the pavement becomes dry, then apply the prime coat The scope of pavement cleaning is 0.20m larger than scope of bitumen application along two edges 6.1.1.3 On the clean and dry crushed stone base surface, apply an amount of prime coat following section 4.2.2 with standard of 1.0 kg/m2 to 1.3 kg/m2 This amount of prime coat is quite enough to penetrate deeply into crushed stone base layer of 5mm to 10mm thickness and enclose remaining dust particles on the surface of the aggregate layer to create a good binding with the surface treatment; however, not leave thick bitumen traces or bituminous films on the surface of crushed stone aggregates, which is likely to make the surface treatment slippery later on The prime coat should be applied days before the surface treatment, but no more than days to prevent dust and rain water; in case it is essential for traffic opening or due to bad weather condition, it should be executed at least 4h in advance For crushed stone aggregate base course of cement consolidation, soil pavement with cement or other inorganic substances consolidation, preparation of the surface before treatment is carried out 6.1.2 2 as in Section 6.1.1, using cutback asphalt for prime coat of 0.8 kg/m to 1.0 kg/m For newly constructed water bound macadam, when compacting to phase 3, not water, not pave grit, not apply prime coat to prepare surface treatment using the asphalt cement 6.1.3 For existing macadam pavement, repair pothole, depression to resume its cross section and flatness at least days before treatment Remove dust, dirt, to spread prime coat as requried by section 4.2.2 with standard ranging from 0.5 kg/m2 đến 0.8 kg/m2 at least 4h before surface treatment 6.1.4 The scope of pavement cleaning is 0.20m larger than scope of bitumen application along two edges 6.1.5 For pavement already having surface treatment (asphalt concrete, penetration macadam, surface treatment ), it is necessary to fill pothole and depression, to fill cracking, leveling to recover its cross section and flatness of the pavement at least days before the surface treatment Clean the pavement with brush, blow compressed air before treatment but not too long to prevent re-contamination, not apply the prime coat But the pavement should be very dry 6.2 Preparation of construction machine and equipment 6.2.1 Prepare a construction team with machine and equipment

even and full over the surface The operator must determine the correlation between the speed of spreader, the bitumen pumping speed, height of spray beam, the width distribution of spray bar, the set angle of spraying holes to match with spraying diagram for each type spreader to ensure the quantity of sprayed bitumen per 1m2 of pavement surface as the norm The allowed tolerance is 5% Normally, speed of spreader is from km/h to km/h 7.1.3 To avoid the uneven bitumen quantity at section when the spreader starts to run and stops, it should apply a thick paper sheet or a thin metal sheet onto the pavement at such locations with a length of about 2m; these sheets shall be circulated to other locations when finishing the spraying on a section 7.1.4 For points not being sprayed on pavement, apply handheld spreader to spray; For points of excessive spraying, make it less This work must be completed quickly to spread Chip in time while the bitumen is still hot 7.1.5 For slopes of over 4%, spreader should move uphill to avoid the running down of bitumen 7.1.6 The amount of bitumen in the container (si-tanks) of spreader should be calculated so that at least 10% of tank capacity is remained after finishing an intended length The purpose is to ensure that air bubbles shall not go into the bitumen distribution system which may distort the proper preceding spraying mode 7.1.7 The spray should be stop in case of technical problems for spreader or rain condition 7.1.8 When applying multiple layers of bitumen (double or triple), it is necessary to perfrom alternate TCVN 8863 :

accordance with the prescribed norms Spray nozzle must be cleaned by oil and splashed when being clogged 7.2 Spreading chip 7.2.1 Small stones of various sizes must be fully prepared and ready before spraying bitumen Norms of small stones for each speading turn shall apply Table 7.2.2 Chip spreading shall be performed by specialized Chipe spreader or by spreader device connected with car at the back The spreading must be conducted immediately after hot bitumen spray, no later than minutes 7.2.3 Wheels of Chip spreader should always run onto the scattered Chip, not the sprayed bitumen (for case of spreading by spreader device connected with the car at the back, the car shall reverse) 7.2.4 Moving speed of spreader and Chip outlet of the device shall be adjusted appropriately depending on the required Chip quantity per 1m2 7.2.5Chip should be spreaded evenly on the hot bitumen sprayed pavement For a spreading turn, Chip should be closely adjacent to each other, covering completely the bitumen sprayed pavement but not overlapting to each other 7.2.6 The Chip compensation for Chip missing positions, the Chip removal at over spreading position and for overlapsed Chip shall be be carried out immediately during the work of the spreader and finished in the first rolling turns 7.2.7 For pavement which is sprayed with aslphalt plastic only a half or a portion, Chip spreading shall leave a bitumen strip of 20cm width which will be overlayed by another bitumen strip when performing bitumen spray for the remained pavement portion 7.2.8 When performing spreading by manual, apply trowel to spread Chip layers evenly and completely on the pavement surface, or apply improved wheel-barrow to reverse to spread Chip stacks should to be transported in advance and gathered at the roadside which has been cleaned Range and volume of each Chip stack should be calculated to ensure the required Chip quantity per 1m2 Broom is used to level Chip immediately after spreading 7.3 Chip Rolling 7.3.1 Use steam roller with load per wheel from 1.5T to 2.5T, the rolling width of at least 1.5m; perform rolling after each Chip spreading turn Rolling speed of the first rolling turns is 3km/h, and 10km/h for next turns Totally, there are rolling turns over a point In case of not having steam roller, it can use iron wheel roller from 6T to 8T; rolling speed of the first turns is km/h, then accelerate to 5km/h; total rolling turn is from times to times over a point The rolling should be stop for broken chip Total rolling turn and rolling scheme will be concrete after the work on trial section (see Article 5.2) 7.3.2 Roller goes from the edge to the middle; rolling traces must overlap to each other at least 20cm Roller wheel should be kept clean and dry 7.3.3 The rolling for small-sized Chipe layers might continue thank to running vehicle wheels when the road is opened to traffic if provisions in Article 7.4 were satisfied 7.4 Maintenance after the work 7.4.1 Pavement after hot bitumen work can be opened to traffic immediately In the first days, it should limit vehicle speed not exceeding 10km/h and not exceeding 20km/h in days to 10 days after the work During this time, the bariers should be put on the road to control vehicles to run on the road evenly and to limit vehicle speed 7.4.2 After the work, it should asign staffs to perform maitenance in 15 days to
