This detailed project for strengthening of Rurki to Chanarthal (ODR 05) of
District Fatehgarh Sahib portion is prepared by Er. Balwinder Singh Executive
Engineer, Construction Division, PWD B&R, Sirhind.

Report:

Rurki to Chanarthal is an important road of district Fatehgarh Sahib. This road connects the Patiala
Sarhind road to Amloh Bhadson Nabha Road through the important villages such as Rurki,

BRIEF DETAIL OF PROVISION TAKEN THE ESTIMATE ARE ARE AS UNDER

Road Crust

The present road consists of 5.5 m wide (intermediate lane) with wearing crust varying from 100
mm to 175 mm and Sub Base and Base consisting from 150 to 367 mm WBM and Brick Soling.
The road crust for this project is designed as using in-situ subgrade CBR as per IRC 37: 2012 with a
design period of 10 years. The proposed strengthening is divided into three uniform section having
similar road crust requirements. The Typical Cross Section (TCS-1) consists of a proposed 40 mm
Bituminous concrete (BC) and 50 mm Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM). The TCS-2, is
proposed with a stress absorbing membrane (SAM) layer and provision of Bituminous Macadam
(BM) patches at badly damaged and undulated sections to improve the riding surface quality of the
road. TCS-3 is adopted in low laying area of the road that passes through built-up areas. To keep
the road level in harmony with the existing structures the existing bituminous crust of 175 is
proposed to be scarified and additional crust of 200 mm Granular Sub Base (GSB), 250 mm Wet
Mix Macadam (WMM), 70 mm DBM and 40 mm BC. The crust is checked for its sufficiency to
the anticipated traffic load using IIT pave software.

Road Geometrics:

The road being widened from single lane to intermediate lane over the period of time, the
