Full title and description

SNT 3.06.02-2000 — Asphalt concrete pavements in the cities of Turkmenistan. This document establishes requirements and recommendations for design, construction and quality control of asphalt‑concrete road surfacings used on urban streets and roads in Turkmenistan.

Abstract

SNT 3.06.02-2000 defines composition, layer structure, production and laying procedures, acceptance rules and basic quality criteria for asphalt‑concrete pavements intended for urban conditions in Turkmenistan. It is intended to ensure durable, safe and maintainable road surfaces suitable for local climatic and traffic conditions.

Scope

The standard covers requirements for asphalt‑concrete wearing and binder courses used on urban streets and roads: material composition and grading, mix design principles, layer thickness guidance, compaction and jointing practices, site production (plant) and on‑site paving procedures, surface tolerances, testing and acceptance criteria, and basic maintenance recommendations for city pavements. It is focused on urban traffic loads and climatic factors typical for Turkmenistan.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of asphalt‑concrete pavements for urban use.
• Requirements for aggregates, bituminous binders and mineral filler; grading and material properties.
• Mix design and laboratory control procedures for asphalt mixtures intended for wearing and binder layers.
• Recommended layer thicknesses and structural composition for different urban traffic categories.
• Paving plant requirements, temperatures, compaction methods and joint details to ensure long‑term performance.
• Inspection, sampling and laboratory/field testing methods for acceptance (density, compaction, gradation, bitumen content, surface evenness).
• Rules for production acceptance, documentation and remedial actions for non‑conforming works.

Typical use and users

SNT 3.06.02-2000 is used by urban road designers, municipal public works departments, contractors and supervisors engaged in construction and rehabilitation of city streets in Turkmenistan. It is also referenced by laboratory engineers, materials suppliers and quality control personnel responsible for asphalt mixture production and acceptance testing.

Related standards

Related Turkmen construction norms in the SNT series include standards and rules for automobile roads and rules for production and acceptance of road works (for example SNT 3.06.03 and other road construction SNТ documents). The SNT 3.06.02 series was revised with a 2025 issuance titled SNT 3.06.02-2025 addressing updated requirements and harmonization under the Ministry of Construction and Architecture.
