 INTRODUCTION

On july 22 ,2016 Simplex Infrastructure Limited in collaboration with

Jaipur Development Authority commenced a Rs. 240 crores
Elevated Road project . The road will initiate from Bais Godam and
will merge with the Sodala Flyover . It is the second elevated road
project in the city. The project is expected to decongest the roads and
shorten the commute. It will have sleek design pillars similar to the J.J
flyover in Mumbai. Officers claim that the project will not affect the
existing traffic in the city . A total of 104 pillars will be constructed
over which the structure will stand. JDA has already contacted with the
traffic department to divert the traffic from this route. It will take around
30 months to complete the project. The length of the elevated road ,
initiating from Bais Godam and merging with Sodala Flyover is 2.8 km
long. The elevated road with be 7 meters wide and the pillars with be
around 9 meter high. It will be a two lane road each 3.3 meter wide and
a median of 0.4 meter in between. Once the project is completed
,trvallers through the route can save around 40 min of their journey.
Also it will decongest Hawa Sadak so that people travelling through that
route can drive at 50 Km/h . If a person has to go from the secretariat
towards Vaishali Nagar, he can take the elevated road from Ambedkar
Circle to reach Vaishali directly.

 CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

The most important materials which will be used in the construction of

the elevated road are listed below:
CEMENT:- Ordinary Portland Cement(OPC) of 53/43 grade should be
throughout the construction. Flyash or any other Pozzolana Portland
cement shall not be allowed in any of the construction activities. The
cement must be tested and analysed in accordance with the method
given in IS -4031 and IS-4032. The frequency of such test in
manufacturers laboratory shall be as per IS-3535.
COURSE AGGREGATE:- Coarse aggregates shall consist of naturally
occurring crushed stones.The aggregates shall be hard, strong, dense,
durable, clear and free from veins and adherent coating, and free from
injurious amounts of disintegrated pieces, alkali, vegetable matter and
other deleterious substances. The presence of flaky and elongated pieces
shall be avoided. Aggregate shall be supplied in single sizes. The
nominal maximum size of aggregate to be used in work shall be 20mm.
The aggregate crushing value shall not be more than 18% and aggregate
abrasion value should not be more than 20 mm. The other requirements
for coarse aggregates shall be as per IS:383.

FINE AGGREGATE:- The quality,test and acceptance criteria of fine

aggregates should be same as course aggregate and it must satisfy with
IS -383. Some of the necessary tests are Specific gravity test, crushing
value test, abrasion value test, moisture content , absorption value test,
elongation and flakiness index test .

STEEL:- Steel shall be procured from primary manufacturers only.High

strength deformed steel bars of TMT500D grade shall be used and shall
comply with the provisions of IS: 1786 ( Latest revision) For each batch
of steel delivered to site the contractor shall supply the Engineer-in-
charge with manufacturer's certificate stating the process of manufacture
and also the test sheets signed by the manufacturer giving the result of
each mechanical test and the chemical composition. Steel / Strands shall
be manufactured by the open hearth, electric, duplex, basic oxygen
process or a combination of these processes like TATA
(Mumbai), SAIL or equivalent as approved by EIC. In case any other
process is employed by the manufacturer, prior approval of the
purchaser from EIC should be obtained. Steel / Strands shall be
manufactured by primary manufacturers like TATA, SAIL, RISNL or
equivalent as approved by the EIC shall be used.

WATER:- Water to be used for mixing and curing shall be clear and
free from injurious amounts of oils, acids, alkalis, salts, sugar, organic
materials or othersubstances that may be deleterious to concrete or steel.
Potable water is generally considered satisfactory for mixing concrete.

CEMENT CONCRETE FOR STRUCTURES

Only design mix concrete shall be used in the work. The design mix
concrete shall have the minimum compressive strength of 150 mm cubes
at 28 days according to the denomination of the grade the concrete e.g.
M 35 grade concrete shall have the minimum characteristic compressive
strength of 35 Mpa. The determination of the cement, aggregates and
water to attain the strength specified in clause 5.11.1 above shall be
made by designing the concrete mix in accordance with IS: 10262. The
trial mixes for mix design shall be prepared with approved aggregates,
cement and water. Coarse aggregates of different sizes shall be
combined in suitable proportion so as to result in an overall grading
conforming to IS : 383.
Fly ash will not be allowed to be used in the mix. Minimum six cubes
shall be prepared from each trial mix for testing compressive strength at
28 days. In proportioning concrete the quantity of both cement and
aggregates shall be determined by weight. The cement shall be weighed
separately from the aggregates. Water shall either be measured by
volume in calibrated tanks or weighed. All measuring equipment shall
be maintained in a clean and serviceable condition. The amount of
mixing water shall be adjusted to compensate for moisture content in
both coarse and fine aggregates. The moisture content in both coarse and
fine aggregates shall be determined in accordance with IS : 2386 (Part-
III). Suitable adjustments shall also be made in the weights of aggregates
to allow for the variation in weight of aggregates due to variation in
moisture content.

CONSTRUCTION OF PILE FOUNDATION

Piles can either be driven into the ground (driven piles) or

be installed in a predrilled hole (bored piles or drilled
shafts). The construction of bore cast in situ concrete pile
consists of 4 primary phases
1. Pile boring,
2. Reinforcement cage lowering,
3. Flushing
4. Pile concreting.
1. PILE BORING
1. Hydraulic rig/manually operable auger should be mobilized at the
required location
2. Four reference points (making two lines perpendicular to each other)
should be marked for checking centre of pile bore during boring of
pile.
3. Initial boring of about 2.0 meters is to be done using cutting tool of
desired diameter of pile
4. Then boring will be carried out according to the sub-soil
investigation report of that location. It will be done using liner,
bentonite or both.
5. The temporary guide casing, approximately 2.0 meter length with
outside diameter equivalent to nominal diameter of the pile, may
then lowered in the bore hole. In such a case dia of cutting tool will
be little less, maximum 75 mm less than outside dia of casing for
free movement in the casing pipe during operation.
6. Position / centerline of the guide casing pipe with reference to pile
reference points already fixed around the pile location shall be
checked to shift/adjust the casing pipe to ensure proceeding of
drilling at exact pile location without any deviation.
7. Boring has to be done up to the founding strata as per drawings/ pre
decided depth using intermittently bentonite slurry as per
requirement. In case of requirement the bore hole is then supplied
with bentonite slurry, from bentonite installation. Bentonite
circulation channel will be made from bore hole to bentonite tank
and fresh bentonite slurry will be pumped to bore hole through hose
pipes. 24 hours prior to start of pile boring, ensure that bentonite is
completely dispersed I the water and attains required density to
stabilize the sides of bore hole during drilling. Bentonite slurry of
specified quality should be circulated continuously during boring
process.
8. Bentonite used to stabilize the sides of bore hole should be
conforming to requirements as listed in inspection and test plan.
Density of bentonite solution should be checked during boring
 operation to ensure that the density is about 1.05 g/cc to 1.10 g/cc,
marsh cone viscosity 30 to 40 and pH value 9.5 to 12.
9. Bentonite slurry is pumped by high pressure reciprocating pumps/
vertical pump into the bore hole and the same is allowed to overflow
the bore hole. The overflow slurry with bored mud/soil etc that
comes out along with bentonite slurry is passed through channels and
is collected in sediment tanks where sediments settle and bentonite
can be re used. If necessary, the bentonite may be passed through the
de sander tank to remove sand particles before it is re used.
10. Depth of pile shall be checked with sounding chain and exact
depth shall be recorded in the pile report.
11. After boring upto required depth underreaming will be done using
underreamer of desirable diameter. Completion of desired bulb
cutting will be ascertained by (i) vertical movement of the handle
and (ii) using L shaped rod of length enough to reach upto bulb
location from approximately 2 feet above ground level and
horizontal dimension equal to 0.5 of bulb dia minus pile dia.

REINFORCEMENT CAGE LOWERING

1. Prefabricated reinforcement cage prepared as per the drawings and
approved depths, is brought and kept near pile location while boring
is in progress.
2. After getting the permission from the engineer, the reinforcement
cage will be gently lifted and lowered by crane/manually into the
bored hole. Necessary concrete cover will be obtained by using the
circular cover blocks already made of the same strength as of pile.
3. If the reinforcement cage is very long i.e. not possible to handle in
one lift, the cage will be lifted one by one and spot welded at the
joints and then lowered inside the bored hole.
4. It is to be checked whether the reinforcement cage has reached up to
bottom of the pile by measuring from the top of the cage to the
ground level.
FLUSHING
1. After cage lowering, 200 mm diameter tremie pipes in suitable
lengths are to be lowered in the hole. The operation is done by
lowering one tremie pipe after another and connecting them
threading to maintain water tightness throughout its length till the
gap between the pile base and Tremie is between75 100 mm. the
tremie pipe is locked/supported from top to maintain the level and
funnel is attached on top.
2. The tremie head to be provided to the tremie pipe for the flushing
activity. The bore is flushed by fresh bentonite slurry through the
tremie head. The pumping for flushing is done by use of mud
circulation pump. Flushing will be done to remove all the loose
sediments which might have accumulated on the founding strata.
Further, the flushing operation shall be continued till the consistency
of inflowing and out flowing slurry is similar.

PILE CONCRETING
1. The concrete placing shall not proceed if density of fluid near about
the bottom of borehole exceeds 1250 kg/m3.
2. Determination of the density of the drilling mud from the base of the
borehole shall be carried out by taking samples of fluid by suitable
slurry sample approved by the engineer in charge, in first few piles
and at suitable interval of piles thereafter and the results recorded.
3. After flushing is completed, tremie head should be removed and
funnel should be attached to the tremie pipe.
4. The slump of the concrete will be maintained at 150 mm to 200 mm.
5. Concreting operation will be carried out using the 200 mm diameter
trmie pipes.
6. Initial charge of concrete should be given in the funnel using a plug.
Total concrete quantity in the funnel should be more than the volume
of the entire pipe plus free space below the tremie. This will ensure a
water tight concrete pouring through tremie.
7. Lifting and lowering is repeated keeping sufficient concrete in funnel
all the time. As the concreting proceeds the tremie pipe are to be
removed one by one, taking care that the tremie pipe has sufficient
embedment in the concrete until the whole pipe is concreted.
Sufficient head of green concrete shall be maintained to prevent
inflow of soil or water in to concrete. Placing of concrete shall be a
continuous process from the toe level to top of pile.
8. The concrete is poured in the funnel. As the concrete reaches the top
of the funnel, the plug is lifted up to allow the concrete to flow
corresponding to the placing of each batch of concrete.
9. The concreting of pile is to be done up to minimum of 300 mm
above the cut off level to get good and sound concrete at cut off
level.
10. After completion of concreting tremie, funnel and other
accessories are to be washed properly and kept greased in proper
stacking condition near next pile location.
11. While doing under water concreting 10% extra cement over and
above the design mix requirement should be added in each batch.
