PROFORMA FOR RECORD OF TEST
VALUES OF LOCALLY AVAILABLE
PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTICN ~1ATERIALS
I. INTRODUCTION
LI. There is need for carrying out extensive surveys of
locally available pavement construction materials with a view to
their optimal utilisation in road projects and achieving greater
economy in construction costs, For making best use of informa-
tion from such surveys, it is essential that the sampling and testing
of materials, as also recording of test results, be done in a syste-
niatic manner without omitting any important aspect.
I .2. Towards this end, the Soil Research Committee (now
called Soil Engineering Committee) personnel given below, had
developed certain standard Proforma for recording test results and
other relevant particulars of the pavement cunstruction materials,
These have been vetted further by the Specifications and Standards
Committee in their meetings held on the 8th December 1970 and
18th & 19th November 1971 and approved by the Executive
Committee in their meeting held on the 26th and 27th April 1972.
Later, the Standard ~v~~ts approved by the Council at their 78th
meeting held at Nainital on the 10th July 1972!.

1.3. The Profornia are intended for application at the !pre
specifications stage by way of guidance to the survey and design
staff and not for purpose of quality control during construction.
2. SCOPE
2.1. The Profornia recommended relate to locally available
pavemcnt construction materials such as road stones, slag, low
grade aggregates and soil-gravel mixtures. There are three
separate Proforma, Ito Ill, as under
Proforma ~ For record of test values of hard aggregates;
Proforma H: For record of test values of low-grade/soft
aggregates; and
Proforma 111 For record of test values of naturally occurr-
ing soil-gravel/mooru m mixtures.
3. NOTES ON THE USE OF PROFORMA
3.1. The Profbrma are meant essentially to aid the design
engineer in evaluation of locally available materials for incorpora-
tion in different pavement courses and, in addition, framing of
realistic cost estimates. Accordingly, these have been developed
with an eye on the specifications generally in use.
3.2. For proper correlation, the Proforma should he acconi
panied by an index map drawn! to a! !suitable scale. On this map,
the material sources should be distinctly marked. The map should
also show existing haul roads for working out costs.
4. SAMPLING AND TESTING
4.1. Before extracting samples, the material source should
be! closely examined and subdivided into groups as necessary,
depending on variability of the material, so that representative
samples may be obtained from each, For each class of material
three specimens should be taken from each sample, preferably by
quartering, and the requisite tests performed for completing thc:~
Profo r ma.
4.2. To have uniformity in testing, reference has been drawn
in the Profomnia to relevant Standards of Indian Standards Institu-
tion, British Standards Institution or Indian Roads Congress as
applicable.
