METHODOLOGY

3.1 General

The concrete structures of the project are proposed to be designed in accordance with the

Indian

Code IS: 456-2000 and IRS-CBC which is considered mandatory for concrete structures in

the

country. For some technical issues which are not adequately covered in IS codes and IRS

code,

reference will be made to other internationally accepted code of practice. Detailed

methodology of

analysis and design shall be submitted for approval to concerned organization.

3.2 Methodology for analysis and design

The design consultant should model the station using reputed computer software of usual

practice. It should be used to present the result of analysis and design in a calculation note.

Dynamic analysis shall be performed to obtain the design seismic force by response

spectrum method. Soil structure interaction shall be carried out. Structural design of

station and other associated structures shall confirm to relevant codal provisions of IRSCBC,

RDSO guidelines, IS 1893, IS 456, IS 4326, etc. whichever is applicable as

mentioned above. Design of water retaining structure shall confirm to codal provision of

IS 3370. Dynamic analysis shall be carried out for all structure.

3.3 Grade of concrete and nominal cover

The appropriate grade of concrete and nominal cover to reinforcement is governed by the

following main considerations:

i) Durability of Concrete

ii) Fire Resistance Corrosion Protection to the Reinforcement

iii) Bar Size (Minimum diameter shall not be less than 08 mm)

iv) Nominal maximum aggregate size

4. STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

The station can be broadly divided into two parts i.e. station with concourse and station

without

concourse. The station with concourse (70.0m* approx) is planned in the middle of station

and

separated from station arms without concourse (35.0m* approximately on either side)

through

expansion joints.
