CHAPTER 6 TECHNICAL / ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES

6.1

INTRODUCTION The design and rehabilitation options have been calculated based on the basis of preliminary engineering studies, traffic forecasts, and future requirements. Different alternatives have been considered keeping in view the Objectives and Goals as defined earlier.

6.2

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THIS STUDY Provide maximum safety in the design of the Highway geometry, pavements, shoulders, embankments and other pertinent components. Provide uninterrupted flow of through traffic along the Project stretch. Avoid future possibility of installation of speed breakers by the local administration. Segregate the local traffic from through traffic, wherever possible, by providing service roads, raised carriage way or flyovers as may be appropriate. Try to avoid the adverse impacts of the crowded areas on the Highway along the Project stretch. Provide for appropriate cross traffic facilities without impeding the flow of through traffic. Provide smooth flow of traffic all along the road as well as the road junctions. Identify and provide outline plan for areas for truck parking repair, Road users accommodation / facilities and pertinent way side commercial activities. Identify locations for toll plaza. Minimize the impact on roadside settlement. Minimize the impact on the existing trees/environment. Provide and recommend what is cost efficient, but most of all, can be built readily with least hindrances (such as resettlement and land acquisition).

6.3

PARAMETERS FOR WIDENING The most important fact in deciding the side of widening is the availability of land. Secondary factors include presence of environmentally; religiously and socially sensitive features such as Heritage Structures, other monument structure and so on. The following criteria have been used with suitable inter-alias weight age in terms of their influence in governing the decision on the side of widening.

WIDENING Rural area The project road in rural areas is proposed to be widened keeping in view the following options:

6.4.2 Eccentric Widening (LHS or RHS): Eccentric widening has been preferred which gives least interference to the traffic during construction. The widening is proposed to be done as Typical Cross Section for such option is adopted with the following provisions: The advantages of this configuration are: 1. The proposed median will save many of the existing trees on the left/right side of the existing road formation on which side the road is proposed to be widened. The median will extend up to 4.5 m away from the existing carriageway. This will cover a large number of the trees in the first row. As already discussed, the first row has mostly thick girth trees offering large shadows. 2. All the trees on the opposite side will be saved 3. The existing pavement will be used by the traffic in the first stage of the construction. No diversions will be needed even for reconstruction of culverts or other improvement works on the existing pavement during the subsequent stage of construction, when the new pavement will be available for traffic movement.

6.4.3 Concentric Widening: For 2-lane sections where existing earthen/gravel shoulders are being replaced with paved shoulders, it has been analyzed that concentric widening of carriageway is comparatively economical and easy in construction.

TRAFFIC SAFETY MEASURES Design of proper junctions, central median, service roads, foot paths, all other measures such as guard rails, crash barriers, road signs, road marking, turn lanes etc. have been provided as per road safety standards prescribed by MoSRT&H. These have been shown in the drawing volume.

6.9

BRIDGES AND CULVERTS All the bridges in the project road with adequate waterway and good in condition have been retained and can be widened based on horizontal profile. For all other new two lane carriage way, PSC Girder/ RCC bridges are proposed along side to make them suitable for 2 lanes. The structural adequacy of these existing bridges has been scrutinized. Some of the bridges require minor repairs i.e. replacement of broken railings and protection work around the abutments. Notwithstanding the absence of any visible distress in the existing old bridge structures, enhancement of structural strength by removing loose or spalled voids in the deck structure and replaced with new concrete/mortar is proposed to ensure safety, adequacy as well as durability.. Culverts have been proposed to be rehabilitated/ widening as per condition and proposed alignment. New pipe culvert has been constructed with NP-4 pipe.

6.10

Geometric Improvements The existing carriageway have 7.00 M wide carriageway, with 2.5 M wide gravel/earthen shoulders. The horizontal curves which are deficient either in radius or in transition lengths and curve length have been improved. The vertical curves which are deficient in curve length and gradients have also been improved. The improvement of geometrics is necessary on National Highways for safety and comfort of road users, even for low traffic volumes.

6.11

ALIGNMENT IMPROVEMENT ALTERNATIVES Improvement of existing alignment has been done in following ways which will have significant beneficial impact in terms of Minimizing Displacement Reducing resistance to the project Minimize the impact on the existing trees/local environment.

CHAPTER 7 PROPOSED PAVEMENT DESIGN7.1 General The pavement existing thorough out the project length is flexible in nature. The project envisages widening to two lanes with paved shoulder of the existing 2lane carriageway for augmenting the capacity of the project road and significantly extending its service life. Four lane carriageway is suggested at certain stretch to further enhance the capacity of project. Pavement Design includes strengthening of existing 2-lanes by providing appropriate bituminous overlay thickness. The general design procedure for the flexible pavement for the proposed road from Bikaner to Suratgarh both for widened portion as new construction as well as strengthening of existing carriageway has been followed as per the guidelines of IRC: 37-2001 Guidelines for the design of flexible pavements and IRC: 811997- Guidelines for Strengthening of flexible road pavements using Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique respectively. For the pavement design, the information is required with regard to the parameters such as volume of traffic, pavement condition, borrow area soil characteristics and properties of the existing subgrade. Growth rate is required to predict the traffic over the design life and axle load spectrum is necessary to calculate the Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) for the design traffic calculations. Based on the evaluation of the functional and structural properties of the existing pavement, subgrade strength and traffic requirements, the pavement design can be divided into two parts:

1. Design of the new pavement 2. Design of the overlay for existing pavement New pavement design is based on the design traffic (msa) and the subgrade strength, however the overlay design will vary for each homogenous sections based on its structural and functional adequacy.

Homogenous Sections Homogenous sections are decided based on the Traffic, Test Pit Data, Pavement Condition Survey and Benkelman Beam Deflection (BBD) Testing. Based on the traffic surveys conducted by the consultants in December 2009 and February 2010 , it was concluded that the entire project length can be divided in three homogenous traffic section, details are given in Table 4.6.

Detailed pavement condition survey of the project road was carried out in the month of November 2009, by both visual inspection and instrumental measurements of the condition indicators like deflection. One Benkelman Beam Deflection testing and Test Pit Evaluation was done in every 3 kilometers for structural evaluation of the existing pavement. The details of BBD Testing is given in the Survey and Investigation Chapter. Cumulative Difference Approach (CDA) as described in AASHTO guide for Pavement Design (1993) was used to analyze the BBD data for delineating homogeneous sections with respect to Characteristic Deflection. Figure 7.1 shows the Cumulative Difference vs. Chainage with respect to BBD.

on the subgrade CBR and the traffic loads that the pavement has to carry during its design life. Ideally, the flexible pavement is built to such a depth that stresses on any given layer will not cause unwarranted rutting, fatigue, shoving, or other differential movements which may result in an uneven wearing surface. The chief function of the surfacing course is to provide a smooth wearing surface, resistant to traffic loads. However, the wearing course can provide some shearing resistance to the base structure and some added resistance to deformation. Base courses are usually layers of aggregates that must possess high resistance to deformation in order to withstand the higher pressures imposed by wheel loads. High quality processed aggregates are usually required, which also provide good internal drainage Sub bases are generally made up of locally available aggregates.

7.3.2 Traffic Growth Pavements are designed to serve the traffic needs adequately over a period of years. Traffic growth must therefore be anticipated when determining structural requirements of the pavement. From the traffic growth projection data as explained in this report, a weighted average growth rate of 5.0 percent per annum is estimated for the commercial vehicles. 7.3.3 Design Traffic Design Traffic of 15 years has been adopted for the design of new pavement in case of two lane with paved shoulder and four lane carriageway. This is in concurrence with the Project specific 2-Laning Manual of Specifications & Standards and the latest Manuals published by IRC.

Lane Distribution Factor The lane distribution factors adopted for the project are as given under: Two-lane single carriageway: 75 per cent of the number of vehicles in both the direction Dual 2-lane carriageway road: 75 per cent of the number of vehicles in each direction

Directional Distribution Factor The value of 0.50 has been adopted as the directional distribution factor.

PAVEMENT DESIGN IRC: 37-2001 method is adopted for the design which is based on the empirical analytical approach, and provides catalogues for design of flexible pavements. The design catalogue gives the standard pavement compositions. The design relates to six CBR values ranging from 2 to 10 per cent and six levels of design traffic 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 & 150 MSA. The pavement compositions specified in design catalogue for adoption are relevant to bituminous surfacing (BC and DBM), base course (WMM / WBM) and granular layer of GSB. Soil exploration was conducted from borrow areas for the construction of fill / embankment and sub-grade. The soil types tested so far along the road stretch may be classified as Silty Sand and Sandy Silt. The CBR values (4-days soaking) using Modified Proctor Compaction and at OMC have been found to vary from 21 % to 27 %. Thus, the design CBR of 10 percent for sub grade is adopted in the pavement design analysis. Subgrade of 500 mm thickness and 10% CBR is required as an integral part of the pavement structure. The pavement design for different homogenous sections based on inputs mentioned above is given in Table 7.4.

Matching of the GSB layer of new pavement should be done with existing GSB layer to facilitate proper internal drainage in the pavement structure.

Rehabilitation of Existing Pavement Flexible overlay is suggested over the existing pavement in order to enhance its structural and functional quality. Bituminous overlay in the form of BC and DBM is recommended as an overlay to support the design traffic of 10 years or 100 msa, whichever is less. BBD testing, test pit investigation, pavement condition survey and testing of the existing subgrade have been carried out to assess the requirements of strengthening. The overlay design is done in accordance with IRC: 81-1997 Guidelines for Strengthening of flexible road pavements using Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique.

7.4.1 Design Traffic Design traffic in terms of msa for overlay design is obtained for respective sections. The Growth Rate, Lane Distribution Factor, Directional Distribution Factor and Vehicle Damage Factor has been adopted same as that for design traffic calculation of the new pavement. Design life of overlay is considered as 10 years and the msa calculated for 10 years is less than 100 msa. The design traffic is given in Table 7.5. The section from Km 70.5 to Km 72.5 will not require any strengthening as it is proposed to be raised and reconstructed as 4 lane carriageway, hence new pavement design will be applicable for the section.

As per the data from the soil investigation it can be concluded that the existing subgrade is in good condition and the CBR value ranges from 16% to 42%. Hence the pavement is structurally sound and can be overlaid. However existing carriageway surface shall be prepared before the hot bituminous overlay. Surface preparation shall includes crack filling of low to medium intensity cracks, filling of potholes and milling in case of wide and severe cracks, and extensive rut formation

Final Feasibility Report

Matching of bituminous layers between strengthening and widening portions will arise with case of widening on existing formation and symmetrical widening. For the present case, for facilitating application of bituminous courses in a single stroke, matching of the layers is required. The differential thickness of new pavement and overlay pavement will be laid first and separately. It will be helpful to then lay common thickness of DBM with one operation and BC in second operation.

Design of New Rigid Pavement for Toll Plaza and Arjunsar Village Rigid Pavement is proposed for the lanes at Toll Plaza location and 500 m length in Arjunsir Village. Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement is recommended and the design is carried out in accordance with IRC:58-2002 Guidelines for the design of plain jointed rigid pavements for highways. The rigid pavement has been designed for a design life of Thirty (30) years. The rigid pavement has been designed to withstand the cumulative effect of the axle load repetitions of different commercial vehicles applied over the design life of 30 years. As per IRC:58-2002, only 25% of the cumulative repetitions of commercial vehicles for 30 years is taken as the design traffic for computing the expected axle load repetitions for design. The basic pavement structure consists of Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) slab over Dry Lean Concrete (DLC) base and GSB Sub-base. These layers are laid over an appropriate subgrade of 500 mm thickness. The effective modulus of subgrade reaction (effective k) for pavement design is limited to 20 kg/cm2/cm (increase due to DLC) keeping in view the recommendation from IIT Kharagpur and the fact that the value of k decreases with the load repetition and loss of support due to heavy loading. The following inputs have been adopted for the design: Modulus of elasticity of concrete Poissons Ratio Coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete Tyre Pressure Subgrade CBR

E = 3.0 10 5 = 0.15 = 10 10 6 perC = 8 Kg / cm2 = 10%

Different trial thicknesses of concrete slab were carried out, and the pavement structure was checked for the cumulative fatigue life consumed over the design life. The slab thickness was checked for critical stress condition, which is the addition of flexural stresses due to traffic load and stresses due to temperature differential between top and bottom of the slab. The corner load stresses were also checked as part of the analysis.Consulting Engineers Group Ltd 7-9
