1 Introduction
These bridges and culverts are part of the work of “construction of 3rd line between Maramjhiri and
Chichonda stations of Itarsi Nagpur Section of Centrl Railways”. The project starts from Maramjhiri (MJY)
Station (including) and ends at Chichonda (CCD) Station (excluding), connecting 8 number of stations.
The alignment passes partly through plain and partly through rolling terrain. The total length of the
proposed route, from start point near Maramjhiri (Km.841.90) to end point (Km. 911.70) near Chichonda
is 69.80 km. Project consist of design and construction of bridges & culverts consisting of Embankment
approaches, Road Viaduc Rail vaiducts, Major bridges RUBs minor bridges and pipie culverts.
This document presents the Basis for the Engineering Design of the bridges, culverts RUB structures in
the project. Seprate design basis report for ROB's is being submitted. ROB's are to be designed as per
IRC standards.

The purpose of this document is to highlight the general requirements, guidelines, and design philosophy
and design parameters for the design of structures and foundation. The structural designs shall be based
on relevant latest IRS codes for the structures carrying railway loads and relevant IRC Codes for
structures carrying roads. In addition to the design data particularly specified in the tender documents,
key design data extracted from the reference design standards, summary of design methods,
assumptions, use of software etc. have been outlined in this document.
Whenever it is observed that the IRS codes do not adequately cover the required issues reference has
been made to specific guidelines issued by various national & international organisation or codes, as per
the hierarchy described in the tender document. (Annexure I of Schedule D)
This note covers the design basis for the design of Bridges, culverts and RUB. For the other structures in
the project, seperate DBRs are submitted.

7 Method of Analysis & Design
RCC Box Structures for minor Bridges and RUB

All type of box structures either skew or non-skew spans shall be analyzed by effective width method for
width of 1 m. Linear Elastic analysis shall be done using software such as STAAD Pro/ MIDAS / LUSAS.
Analysis shall be carried out by linear elastic method. Single frame model of unit width shall be adopted
for computing bending moments and shear forces.
Generally box bridge base slab, being at shallow depth, will be placed on moderate granular soil or on
firm clayey strata.
Skew Span will be analyzed in the same way as explained above. Only the span considered will be
perpendicular span and not the skew span as the load always travels in the shortest possible direction.
The reinforcement detailing shall be done considering the skew angle etc.
MNB & RUB shall be designed for ULS & SLS combinations in accordance with IRS CBC.
PSC Slab Bridges: PSC Slab bridges will be analysed by effective width method as per Cl. 2.3.4.2 (b) of
IRS Bridge rule 2014.
Abutments and Piers: Abutments and Piers will be analysed and designed for forces from superstructure
and earth pressure forces furnished in para 5 above and load combination mentioned in para 6 above.
Factor of safety againts overturing and sliding shall be as per Cl. 6.8 of IRS substructure code
8 Material
8.1 Concrete
The grade of concrete shall be as per IRS Concrete Bridge Code 2014 Clause No.5.4.4. The minimum
grades of concrete shall be adopted as given below. Properies of materail shall be as per IRS CBC and
IRC 112.
M30 for RCC box structure/ RCC Substructure/ parapets

M15 for PCC mud mat / levelling course
M45 for PSC members
8.2 Reinforcement (Un-tensioned steel, HYSD)
Reinforcement bars of grade Fe 500D conforming to IS: 1786 and as specified in cl. 4.5 of IRS concrete
bridge code having minimum elongation of 14.5%.
Young’s Modulus: Es=200,000 MPa

Yield Stress: fy = 500 MPa
9 Durability measures
Structures shall be designed for the Moderate exposure condition and design life of 100 years.
Clear cover shall be maintained as per Clause no 15.9.2 of IRS Concrete Bridge Code 2014 based on
exposure condition mentioned above.
Type Moderate Environment

Faces not in contact with
earth 35
50
Face in contact with earth
Cables/Tendens 75
Crack width shall be maintained as follows as per Correction Slip no 1 to Concrete bridge Code 2014.
Crack width shall be calculated for combination 1 only as per Cl 11.3.2 of IRS CBC.
For Substructure and superstructures – 0.25 mm.
DATE : 10.10.2022 NOTE No: DN-02-R0

Durability issues shall be followed as per clause 5.4, 10.4.3, 15.2.2,16.2.2 and Appendix – A of IRS
concrete Bridge code 2014.
Protective coatings for reinforcement shall be as per clause 7.1.5 of IRS Concrete Bridge Code 2014.
Design life for the bridges shall be based on exposure condition as per clause 15.1.3 of IRS Concrete
Bridge Code 2014. For the present case, it is 100 years.
10 Durability, Inspectability and Maintainability
The structural design and composition of construction materials shall ensure sufficient durability,
considering the structural details of which they form part as well as the effects of the environment to
which they may be exposed.
11 Construction Method in Brief
Construction of all the componants of the bridges shall be done as per standard engineering practice and
with all precautions for safety and accuracy of the working. The detailed construction methodology of
each componant is outside the scope of this document. The structures are to be designed for the
erection conditions and considering the sequence of construction as may be significant in the structural
design.
The writeup provided above is general in nature. Specific erection / construction methods will be provided
in the detail design document and drawing.
12 List of Design Codes and Standards
