 Project Brief

• The proposed temple area is situated on the banks of River Sarayu (Approximately 1km from the
riverbank).
• The temple is designed by a specialist Architect Consultant, as a Traditional structure, in a Nagara style of
Temple architecture.
• The Parkota around the boundary of the temple will have temples of 06 Nos. Gods and Goddesses.
• The Temple structure shall be integrated with the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Complex Master plan.
• The temple will be constructed using traditional stone made up of sandstone, Granite, Mirzapur stone and
Makrana Marble for flooring and cladding.
• The structural elements are joined together by tongue and groove joints with copper pins and strip. Its
dimensions are approx. 380x250 feet. The main Shikhara over Garbhagriha is 161 feet high.
• Finalization of Structural Stability analysis & Integrated Structural analysis by M/s L&T, TCE, Architect and
CBRI Roorkee

 Brief Description - Foundation

• Requirement: No use of iron in foundation,

• Design life of Mandir - 1000 years
• Differential settlement between two columns is Negligible.
• No exposed concrete above ground level.
• Foundation- Geotechnical findings showed presence of cultural materials upto depth of 8-11m.
• Properties of existing cultural material in sub soil couldn’t be predicted with certainty
• Seismic forces were expected to be amplified in top 8-11m layer.
• After analysing Case studies, primary and secondary research, onsite survey and review of the
Architectural drawings, pile foundation was not advisable.
• Retaining wall was designed to retain the earth of courtyard of Mandir.

CONFIDENTIAL
 Brief Description - Foundation
• Site is close to river Saryu and has large deposit of
silty sediments consolidated over thousand of years.
• Due to proximity to Himalayan tectonic region, the
structure was supposed to be designed for site
spectra or Zone IV.
• Due to seismicity of area it was imperative to design
engineered foundation system that can achieve almost
rock like characteristics.
• NGRI was deputed to do the soil investigation survey.
• An expert committee was constituted, comprises of
eminent Professors and Directors of IIT Madras,
Guwahati, Delhi, Mumbai, CBRI Roorkee, SVNIT
Surat & Tata Consulting Engineers Ltd for their
recommendation on foundation.
• It was proposed by the expert committee to completely
excavate the existing fill (8-11m depth) and replace it
with high quality engineered fill.
• The temple structure was proposed to rest on plain
cement concrete raft foundation designed to meet
requirement of 1000 year life.

CONFIDENTIAL
 Brief Description – Engineering Fill
• The overall settlement is controlled by designing the properties of engineered fill.
• The differential settlement below raft is controlled by proposing appropriate raft section and construction
sequence.
• It was proposed to fill the excavated area with Engineered fill materials for temple project.
• Roller compacted concrete was suggested with compressive strength of 3 Mpa.
• The total cementitious material was restricted to 140-160 kg/m3 with high volume of flyash.
• Settlement analysis considering properties of RCC derived from extensive lab test and mockup test
done on site carried in PLAXIS. The settlements found within prescribed limits.
• It was referred to expert committee of different National Engineering institutes like various IITs, NIT
& CBRI. The suggestion of open foundation was studied and approved by the experts.
• Traditionally, Roller compacted concrete have been used in construction of dams, pavements. The use
of Roller compacted concrete (RCC) for a height of 12 m as an engineered fill for a temple structure is a
unique first-time solution implemented in India and abroad.

 Soil Investigation

• Soil investigation carried out by ASI (Archaeological survey of India), the construction Agency & NGRI (National Geophysical
Research Institute).
• 24 boreholes of varying depths executed with maximum depth up to 120m.

 Excavation for Temple

• Excavation: open excavation@ approx. 12/14 m depth i.e., for founding/ Garbh Griha area respectively.
• The excavation works completed in 3 months for a volume of approx. 1,85,000 Cum

CONFIDENTIAL 16
 Engineered Fill

• Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) completed in 48/56 layers. Each layer laid 300mm thick &
compacted to 250mm by Vibro Roller compactor.
• 3 Nos. Batching plant were mobilized with total capacity more than 200 Cum/Hr. The activity was
completed in 5.5 months with Peak concrete of 2200 Cum /day.
• To Protect the excavated slope against rainfall and ingress of soil in finished concrete, the entire sloped
area was covered with Tarpaulin sheet and sand bags covering an area of 2.25 Lacs Sqft . No lost of
time in rainy season, and work completed ahead of schedule timelines.
• The quantity of Engineering fill was 1,32,219 Cum.
