Design and Estimation of Rural Road in Kanchibandharlapalli, Kuppam-517425

Rural road is basically defined as the road connecting rural areas with population less than 500 or population between 500 to 1000 or between 1000 to 1500.In India ‘Pradhan Mantra Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) provides rural connectivity to all habitations under the Ministry of Rural Development. The objective of this project is to design and estimate the total cost of construction of the rural road in kanchibandharlapalli. For which we have conducted soil survey in the study area (kanchbandharlapalli).The experiments conducted on soil are dry sieve analysis, CBR test, plastic limit, liquid limit and standard Procter test. Designing the road based on IRC SP 20.Design include designing thickness of layers, camber design, design speed, roadway width and carriage way width selection. After the completion of design we have selected appropriate materials and layers (base course-WMM, surfacing-Single coat surface dressing with bitumen). Finally we projected the estimated quantities of materials required, cost of materials, labour charges and cost of hiring for the construction.
