Title: FINISHING SUBBASES FOR SLIP-FORM PAVING
Accession Number: 00230530
Record Type: Component
Abstract: AN ACCURATELY GRADED, STABLE SUBBASE IS ESSENTIAL IN SLIP-FORM PAVING TO PROVIDE A SMOOTH PAVEMENT SLAB OF PROPER DEPTH. FINISHING SUBBASES FOR SLIP-FORM PAVING REQUIRES DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES THAN ARE NORMALLY USED FOR PAVEMENTS WITH SIDE FORMS. THE SUBBASE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED IN ADVANCE WITHOUT THE ADVANTAGE OF USING PREVIOUSLY SET PAVING FORMS AS A GUIDE. EQUIPMENT AND METHODS THAT HAVE BEEN USED SUCCESSFULLY FOR FINISHING SUBBASES ARE DESCRIBED. THREE METHODS OF FINISHING ARE COMMONLY USED' /A/ CLIPPING TO BLUE TOPS WITH MOTOR GRADERS, /B/ FINE-GRADING FROM AN ACCURATELY PLACED REFERENCE LINE, AND /C/ PLACING A CONTROLLED DEPTH OF LOOSE MATERIAL SO THAT AFTER COMPACTION ONLY MINOR GRADE ADJUSTMENTS ARE REQUIRED. BOTH UNTREATED AND CEMENT-TREATED GRANULAR SUBBASES ARE DISCUSSED. /AUTHOR/
