through Public Private Partnership (First Revision).

c) IRC:SP:87-2013 – Manual of Specifications & Standards for to 6-Laning of Highway

through Public Private Partnership (First Revision).

The improvements generally suggested in terms of improving from a 2 lane to 4 lane to 6

lane are the Geometrical Improvements/bypasses for Major Urban Interventions, Drainage,
etc, etc.

6. What is meant by COD? What is meant by Financial Closure? What is a

development stage of a contract?

Ans: COD -Commercial Opening Date

Financial Closure – The Financial Closure is the Stage where all sources of equity are
finalized and the Financing Mechanism for the implementation of the Project is formally
closed.

Development Stage – Design of the Project is Finalized in Consultation with IE/AE/Client.

7. What are negative and positive variation claims? What are positive and negative
grant conditions?

Ans: Negative Grants – Where the Client is required to provide additional/extra grants to
support the Construction of the Project.

Positive Grant- Where the Project is highly viable and the Client receives a Premium from
the Concessionaire. The Highest Premium is awarded the Contract.

8. What are the basic conditions for implementing a HAM Contract? How does it differ from
EPC and BOT types?

Ans: HAM Contract – It is a modified form of an Annuity Contract. The funding mechanism
in HAM is 40% upfront payment by client based on milestones specified in the contract and
balance 60% in bi-annual (mostly) annuity payments for the concession period.

EPC Contracts – In case of EPC, the Total Cost of Project implementation is borne by the
Client and there is a Defect Liability period which varies from 3 to 5 years.

BOT Contract- In case of BOT Contracts, the Cost of Construction is borne by the
Concessionaire and he collects Toll for a Concession Period of 25-30 Years.
9. What are the different flexible pavement design technologies prevalent in the
country

Flexible pavements include pavements with Bituminous surfacing over:

(i) Granular base and sub-base

(ii) Cementitious bases and sub-bases with a crack relief layer of aggregate interlayer below
the bituminous surfacing

(iii) Cementitious bases and sub-bases with SAMI in-between bituminous surfacing and the
cementitious base layer for retarding the reflection cracks into the bituminous layer

(iv) Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) with or without addition of fresh aggregates treated
with foamed bitumen/bitumen emulsion

(v) Use of deep strength long life bituminous pavement

10. What is meant by Fatigue and Rutting Criteria?

The IRC: 37-2001 was based on a Mechanistic Empirical approach, which
considered the design life of pavement to last till the fatigue cracking in bituminous
surface extended to 20 per cent of the pavement surface area or rutting in the
pavement reached the terminal rutting of 20 mm, whichever happened earlier. The
same approach and the criteria are followed in IRC: 37-2012 as well, except that the
cracking and rutting have been restricted to 10 per cent of the area for design traffic
exceeding 30 million standard axles.
11. What kind of soil stabilization techniques are in operation?
Soil stabilization can be achieved with cement, bitumen, lime, chemical stabilization,
geotextile, grouting etc. It is a method of improving soil properties by blending and
mixing other materials.
A flexible pavement covered in these guidelines consists of different layers as shown
in Fig.
The sub-base and the base layer can be unbound (e.g. granular) or chemical stabilized with
stabilizers such as cement, lime, flyash and other cementitious stabilizers. In case of
pavements with cementitious base, a crack relief layer provided between the bituminous
layer and the cementitious base delays considerably the reflection crack in the bituminous
course. This may consist of crushed aggregates of thickness 100 mm of WMM conforming
to IRC/MORTH specifications.

Soil Stabilization with Cement

The soil stabilized with cement is known as soil cement. The cementing action is believed to
be the result of chemical reactions of cement with siliceous soil during hydration reaction.
The important factors affecting the soil-cement are nature of soil content, conditions of
mixing, compaction, curing and admixtures used.

The appropriate amounts of cement needed for different types of soils may be as follows:

Gravels – 5 to 10%

Sands – 7 to 12%

Silts – 12 to 15%, and

Clays – 12 – 20%

Soil Stabilization using Lime

Slaked lime is very effective in treating heavy plastic clayey soils. Lime may be used alone
or in combination with cement, bitumen or fly ash. Sandy soils can also be stabilized with
these combinations. Lime has been mainly used for stabilizing the road bases and the
subgrade.
Lime changes the nature of the adsorbed layer and provides pozzolanic action. Plasticity
index of highly plastic soils are reduced by the addition of lime with soil. There is an increase
in the optimum water content and a decrease in the maximum compacted density and the
strength and durability of soil increases.

Soil Stabilization with Bitumen

Asphalts and tars are bituminous materials which are used for stabilization of soil, generally
for pavement construction. Bituminous materials when added to a soil, it imparts both
cohesion and reduced water absorption. Depending upon the above actions and the nature
of soils, bitumen stabilization is classified in following four types:

Sand bitumen stabilization

Soil Bitumen stabilization
Water proofed mechanical stabilization, and
Oiled earth.
Chemical Stabilization of Soil
Calcium chloride being hygroscopic and deliquescent is used as a water retentive additive in
mechanically stabilized soil bases and surfacing. The vapor pressure gets lowered, surface
tension increases and rate of evaporation decreases. The freezing point of pure water gets
lowered and it results in prevention or reduction of frost heave.

The depressing the electric double layer, the salt reduces the water pick up and thus the
loss of strength of fine grained soils. Calcium chloride acts as a soil flocculent and facilitates
compaction.

Frequent application of calcium chloride may be necessary to make up for the loss of
chemical by leaching action. For the salt to be effective, the relative humidity of the
atmosphere should be above 30%.

Sodium chloride is the other chemical that can be used for this purpose with a stabilizing
action similar to that of calcium chloride.

Sodium silicate is yet another chemical used for this purpose in combination with other
chemicals such as calcium chloride, polymers, chrome lignin, alkyl chlorosilanes, siliconites,
amines and quarternary ammonium salts, sodium hexametaphosphate, phosphoric acid
combined with a wetting agent.
12. What is meant by stage construction?

It is recommended that pavements for National Highways and State Highways should be
designed for a minimum life of 15 years. Expressways and Urban Roads may be designed
for a longer life of 20 years or higher using innovative design adopting high fatigue
bituminous mixes. In the light of experience in India and abroad, very high volume roads
with design traffic greater than 200 msa and perpetual pavements can also be designed
using the principles stated in the guidelines. For other categories of roads, a design life of 10
to 15 years may be adopted.

If stage construction is adopted, thickness of granular layer should be provided for the full
design period. In case of cemented bases and sub-bases, stage construction may lead to
early failure because of high flexural stresses in the cemented layer and therefore, not
recommended.

13. What are Periodic and Routine Maintenance and what is the major difference?
Routine maintenance, which comprises small-scale works conducted regularly, aims “to
ensure the daily passability and safety of existing roads in the short-run
and to prevent premature deterioration of the roads” Frequency of activities varies but is
generally once or more a week or month. Typical activities include roadside verge clearing
and grass cutting, cleaning of silted ditches and culverts, patching, and pothole repair. For
gravel roads it may include regrading every six months.
Periodic maintenance, which covers activities on a section of road at regular and relatively
long intervals, aims “to preserve the structural integrity of the road” (WB Maintenance
website). These operations tend to be large scale, requiring specialized equipment and
skilled personnel. They cost more than routine maintenance works and require specific
identification and planning for implementation and often even design. Activities can be
classified as preventive, resurfacing, overlay, and pavement reconstruction. Resealing and
overlay works are generally undertaken in response to measured deterioration in road
conditions. For a paved road repaving is needed about every eight years; for a gravel road
re-graveling is needed about every three years.
Urgent maintenance is undertaken for repairs that cannot be foreseen but require
immediate attention, such as collapsed culverts or landslides that block a road.

Maintenance does not include rehabilitation, building shoulders, or widening roads. If the
sections to be rebuilt constitute more than 25 percent of the road’s length, the work is
rehabilitation, not maintenance.
14. What is the HFL criterion in raising stretches in normal sections and submerged
sections? What is the general embankment height adopted in such situations?
Ans: The answer is indicated below:
HFL Criterion in Fill Sections (Raising Stretches)
In Normal Sections- Top of Subgrade should be at least 0.50 m above the Original Ground
Level.
In Submerged Section - the Subgrade bottom should be 0.5 to 1.0 m above the High Flood
Level (HFL).
15. What are the PROW adopted for Plain, Rolling and Hilly Stretches?
Ans: Plain Terrain – 45-60 m; Rolling Terrain – 30-45 m; Hilly Terrain – 20 to 24 m
16. What is the minimum radius for A Speed of 100 Km/hr?
Ans: R=360 m (2 lane) & R= 400 m (4 Lane)

17. What is the Corresponding Super elevation and Transition Length?

Ans: e = 7 % (2 lane) & Length=130m, e= 5 % (4 lane) Transition Length = 110 m
18. What are the different modes of Project Implementation and under what
circumstances they are adopted?
Ans: BOT (TOLL) – Where the Project is Viable under the Tolling and the Concessionaire
takes up the Work with Tolling as a possible source of Revenue Generation.
Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) - It is a modified form of an Annuity Contract. The funding
mechanism in HAM is 40% upfront payment by client based on milestones specified in the
contract and balance 60% in bi-annual (mostly) annuity payments for the concession period.
19. What is the minimum Sight Distance required for a Speed of 100 Km/hr? What are
