Design and Construction of Rural Road from Boppudi-Kotavaripalem in Andhra Pradesh-A Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Rural roads can be called as life line of country’s development, they provide connectivity to majority population of India living in villages. Construction of rural roads provides not only accessibility to people but also generates increased agricultural productivity, employment as well as non-agricultural productivity, which in turn increases the growth opportunities and income generation of rural population. The rate of industrial development is also based on connectivity in rural areas. And also growing population in rural areas requires proper connectivity to urban areas in order to fulfil their medical and educational needs. The proposed road from Boppudi to Kotavaripalem is located in Chilakaluripeta mandal, Andhra Pradesh, India. It connects three important villages having good agricultural productivity and granite quarries, it also connects these villages to NH5 and nearest town Chilakaluripeta. There by increasing the importance of construction of road both agriculturally and industrially. The road is constructed as a flexible pavement. Design and construction of proposed road based on CBR and CVPD (Commercial Vehicle per Day) for design of sub-grade. The crust consists of 2 layers which are Granular sub-base and Wet-Mix Macadam (WMM). Each layer of crust have been provided by proposed thickness with reference to Rural Roads manual IRC:SP-20:2002 and MORT&H specifications, SDBC (Semi Dense Bituminous Concrete) has been provided up to required thickness.
