Can a slab over a trapezoidal cross drain with slope of 1:3 be placed and whether the slab will be stable for road
River sand M sand Shape is round & smooth Shape is cubical, angular & rough texture Less cement paste is reqd to make concrete Req’s more water & cement Sand has high cost but using it makes work economical Sand is cheaper but using it will make it increased cost Contains less microfineRead more
| River sand | M sand |
| Shape is round & smooth | Shape is cubical, angular & rough texture |
| Less cement paste is reqd to make concrete | Req’s more water & cement |
| Sand has high cost but using it makes work economical | Sand is cheaper but using it will make it increased cost |
| Contains less microfine particles | Contains more microfine particles |
| Doesn’t affect any property, best choice | Affects strength & workability of cocrete |
| Moisture content present | Less or no moisture content |
| Strength is less | High comp strength & flexural strength but should be well graded. |
| Slit & over-sized materials& marine products present should be removed by washing & screening. | No slit & over-sized materials & marine products |
| Used for RCC, plastering & Brick or block laying work | Diff grades is used for diff works. |

Sir, Basically slope morphology impacts road drainage and ultimately road stability. Therefore we can placed culvert in each draw. Side slope for rural road where embankment height is less than 3m should be 1:3
