INTRODUCTION
Turbhe is the fifth railway station at 15.28km away from Thane railway station on Thane Turbhe
Nerul / Vashi railway line.This is a Junction station giving access to Vashi & Nerul from Thane. This
station is located in sector-20 of Vashi node at an important junction of Vashi link road and thane –
Belapur road.The station serves the population of Vashi node, Turbhe, APMC market on the west side
& Thane-Belapur industrial belt on the cast side.
As part of City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra's (CIDCO) vision to establish a
modernistic image of Navi Mumbai, some of Mumbai's renowned architects were invited to design its
railway stations at Turbhe. The project was awarded to Architect Hafeez Contractor and the intent
that inspired the design was his principal objectives to ensure a railway station that would become a
"New Civic Symbol" and the fact that railway stations are 'Gateways into a City'. So, the crucial
element of a gigantic arch roof was conceptualised to symbolise an entryway into the city.
Turbhe Railway Station, designed by Hafeez Contractor and conceptualised with a gigantic arch
roof, is the new Gateway for the grand entry into the city of Navi Mumbai

The station stands apart because of its massive 84-m roof with a semi circular shape. An innovative
ribbed arch roof design spans across all platforms and its sheer size and magnitude makes an imposing
assertion. Large strip skylights, integrated with the structural system, establish light-filled platform
spaces. Finally, in terms of image, the station imposes itself as contemporary and progressive. The
most visual manifestation of this ultra-modern language is the usage of contemporary materials.
Resilient galvalume sheets made of aluminum and zinc are used for the roof. The roof is distinctive
because of the clips that have been used for fixing joints instead of drilling

STEEL PORTAL FRAMES

Portal frames are generally lowrise structures, comprising columns and horizontal or pitchedrafters,
connected by moment-resisting connections.Portal frames can be defined as two-dimensional rigid
frames that have the basic characteristics ofa rigid joint between columnand beam.The main objective
ofthis form ofdesign is to reduce bending moment in the beam, which allows the frame to act as one
structural unit. The transter of stresses from the beam to the columnresults in rotational movement at
the foundation, which can be overcome by the introductionofa pin/hingejoint. For warehouses and
industrial buildings, sloping roof made of purlins and ac sheet roofing between portals is provided. For
assembly halls, portals with R.C slab roof cast monolithically is used.
Portal frames are designed for the following loads:
 Rootload
 wind load
While designing, care should be taken for proper
6
 joints
 foundation
 bracing
If the joints are not rigid, they will "open up" and the frame will be unstable when subjected to loads.
This is the pack of cards effect.
1. Vertical loading results in the walls being pushed outwards. If the foundation cannot resist
horizontal push, outward movement will occur and the frame will lose strength.
2. Wind subjects the frame to uplift forces. Overturning forces on the sides and ends of the building.
Drag forces on the roofandsides.
3. These destabilizing forces are resisted essentially by the weight of the building and in
this regard, the foundations contribute significantly to this weight. The foundations are
regarded as the building's anchors.
MAIN FRAME:
The main(portal) frames are generally fabricated from UB sections with a substantial eaves haunch
section, which may be cut froma rolled section or fabricated from plate. A typical frame is
characterised by:
 Aspan between 15 and 50m

 Anclear height (fromthe top ofthe floor to the underside of the haunch) between 5 and
 12m
 A-roofpitch between 5° and 10° (6° is commonly adopted)
 Aftrame spacing between 6 and 8 m
 Haunches in the rafters at the eaves and apex
 A stiffness ratio between the columnand rafter section of approximately 1.5
 Light gauge purlins and side rails

 Light gauge diagonal ties from some purlins and side rails to restrain the inside flange of the
frame at certain locations.
