FOUNDATIONS:
Foundations are the structures which are constructed below existing ground level.
It sustains the loads coming from the sub structures and superstructures.
Bridges had to carry a big load so PILE FOUNDATION is preferred.
It is a type of foundation which was good soil is at the depth of 10-15m or soil
having low bearing capacity.
In this flyover Group of piles drilled for piling:
For P1 to P14- 10 Piles (140 nos.), for P21, P23, P24, P26, P27, P29, P30, P32, 33 &
P21A- 4 Piles (40 nos.), for P22, P25, P28, P31, P22A-6 Piles (30 nos.), P16 to P19-8
Piles(32 nos.)
Total nos. Of piles =242 piles

Types of Foundation
The selection criteria for a foundation depends on the soil and load on the structure,
so before choosing a foundation for a construction project, it is advisable to know the
suitability.
In this article, we will learn about the various types of foundations used in civil
engineering with sketches.
Functions of foundation
Distribution of load.
Sliding and turning direction.
Avoid settlement.
Provide a level floor.
Reduce disaster to the motion of soil.
1.Shallow Foundation
In shallow foundation the depth of the foundation is less than or equal to its
width.
These foundations are constructed where the soil layer is at shallow depths (up to
1.5 m) and capable of supporting structural loads.
The depth is usually less than its width.
17
2. Wall or Strip Footing
Wall foundations spread continuously along the direction of the wall and
help in transmitting the load of the wall into the ground.
This footing is suitable where the loads to be carried are small & economical in dense
sand and gravels.
In this types of foundation, the width is 2-3 times the width of the wall on the floor
stage.
18
3. Isolated or Pad or Spread Footing
19
4.
Combined Footing:
Combined footing is types of foundation that are made wider by providing two or more
columns in a row.
It is used when the footing property for a column can extend beyond the line.
It is also suitable when the two columns are closely spaced and the soil on which the
structure resists low bearing capacity.
20
21
5. Cantilever or Strap Footing:
When an edge footing cannot extend beyond the property line, it is combined with
other internal footings using a strap beam called strap footing.
22
6. Mat or Raft Foundation:
A mat foundation is a joint notch that covers the entire area under a structure, it
supports all the walls and columns known as the fleet foundation.
The mat foundation economical when:
The allowable bearing pressure is low.
These types of foundation are heavyweight structures.
The site is with a highly compressed layer.
23
7.Deep Foundation:
In a deep foundation, the depth of the foundation is greater than its width, these foundations are
constructed very deep below the ground surface.
Typically at depths 3 m below ground level.
24
9. Pier Foundation:
The pier foundation is an underground cylindrical structural member that supports heavy loads of
structure that cannot resist shallow foundations.
Unlike pile foundation, this foundation can only transfer loads by bearing.
The term caisson refers to a box or a case, they are hollow blocks usually constructed on-site and drown
in hard-bearing parts.
As they are expensive to construct, usually restricted to major foundation works.
Well foundation is suitable when the soil has large boulders obstructing entry during the installation of
the pier or pile foundation.
25
PILE FOUNDATION
All piles have Dia. =1200mm Depth =25m (except for P1A, P1B, P1D which have
30m piling) M35 Grade of concrete
Piles are structure that is made up of steel, concrete, timber. They are used to
build pile foundation, and use of piles is necessary to ensure safety.
PILES are divided in given category:
26
Driven and cast-in-place piles :
These are widely used in the displacement pile group. A tube closed at its lower
end by a detachable shoe or by a plug of gravel or dry concrete is driven to the
desired penetration. Steel reinforcement is lowered down the tube and the latter
is then withdrawn during or after placing the concrete. These types have the
advantages that: (1) the length can be varied readily to suit variation in the level
of the bearing stratum; (2) the closed end excludes groundwater; (3) an enlarged
base can be formed by hammering out the concrete placed at the toe; (4) the
reinforcement is required only for the function of the pile as a foundation
element, i.e. not from considerations of lifting and driving as for the precast
concrete pile; and (5) the noise and vibration are not severe when the piles are
driven by a drop hammer operating within the drive tube. Driven and cast-in-
place piles may not be suitable for very soft soil conditions where the newly
placed concrete can be squeezed inwards as the drive tube is withdrawn causing
'necking' of the pile shaft, nor is the uncased shaft suitable for ground where
water is encountered under artesian head which washes out the cement from the
unset concrete. These problems can be overcome by providing a permanent
casing. Ground heave can damage adjacent piles before the concrete has
hardened, and heaved piles cannot easily be redriven. However, this problem can
be overcome either by preboring or by driving a number of tubes in a group in
advance of placing the concrete. The latter is delayed until pile driving has
proceeded to a distance of at least 6.5 pile diameters from the one being
concreted if small (up to 3mm) uplift is permitted, or 8 diameters away if
negligible (less than 3 mm) uplift must be achieved.22 The lengths of driven and
cast-in-place piles are limited by the ability of the driving rigs to extract the drive
tube and they cannot be installed in very large diameters. They are unsuitable for
river or marine works unless specially adapted for extending them through water
and cannot be driven in situations of low headroom.
27
CONCRETE PILES
In this flyover, Piles used are Concrete cast in-situ piles. Types of Concrete Piles:
28
PILE BORING:
Digging in ground for strong foundation is Pile Boring. For excavation on top soil
2-3 m an instrument named AGAR is placed on the top of the digging machine.
Liner is used to maintain the stability of the soil.
29
B) CONCRETE PLACEMENT:
Concreting is done by transit Mix Truck and it has got ability to take 7 cubic m of
concrete which are casted in foundation and settled by TREMIE Pipe.
The pile shaft will be concreted by underwater Tremine technique the pipe is
inserted to the bottom of pile leaving cover of "500mm". Concrete will be poured
by tremine pipe by using concrete skip.
C) INSTALLATION OF REINFORCEMENT:
After completion of concreting, dowel bars of required length and nos. Will be
installed to pile shaft and down to the predetermined level before extraction of
bottom steel casing.
Reinforcement is done by steel, cage and Liner.
30
Estimating Pile Capacity :
The ultimate load-carrying of a pile is given by a simple equation as the sum of the
load carried at the pile point plus the total frictional resistance ( skin friction )
derived from the soil-pile interface.
Qu = Qp + Qs
Where
Qu = ultimate pile capacity
Qp = load-carrying capacity of the pile point
Qs = frictional resistance
Pile Groups :
Pile groups are used to transmit the structural load to the soil. A pile cap is
constructed over group piles. The pile group can be contact with the ground, or
well above the ground.
Determining the load-bearing capacity of group piles.
When the piles are placed close to each other, a reasonable assumption is that
the stress transmitted by the piles to the soil will overlap, reducing the load-
bearing capacity of piles. Ideally, the piles in group should be spaced so that the
load-bearing capacity of the group should not be less than the sum of bearing
capacity of the individual piles. In ordinary situations center-to-center pile spacing
is 3 – 3.5D.
In our design it is taken 3D = 3 *1.2m = 3.6m
The efficiency of the load-bearing capacity of a group pile may be defined as
Ƞ=Q g(u) /(∑Q u)
Where Q g(u) = ultimate load-bearing capacity of the group pile
Q (u) = ultimate load-bearing capacity of each pile without the group effect
31
32
Types of Piles for Pile Foundation Based on Load Transfer and Function
Classification of piles with respect to load transmission and functional behavior are:
33
Friction or cohesion piles
These piles transmit most of their load to the soil through skin
friction. This process of driving such piles close to each other in groups greatly reduces
the porosity and compressibility of the soil within and around the groups. Therefore
piles of this category are sometimes called compaction piles. During the process of
driving the pile into the ground, the soil becomes molded and, as a result loses some of
its strength. Therefore the pile is not able to transfer the exact amount of load which it
is intended to immediately after it has been driven. Usually, the soil regains some of its
strength three to five months after it has been driven.Cohesion piles
34
Friction piles
These piles also transfer their load to the ground through skin friction. The process of
driving such piles does not compact the soil appreciably. These types of pile foundations
are commonly known as floating pile foundations
35
Bored Pile Foundation
Bored pile, also called drilled shaft, is a type of reinforced-concrete
foundation that supports structures with heavy vertical loads. A bored pile is a cast-in-
place concrete pile, meaning the pile is cast on the construction site. This differs from
other concrete pile foundations, like spun pile and reinforced concrete square pile
foundations, which use precast concrete piles. Bored piling is commonly used for bridge
work, tall buildings, and massive industrial complexes, all of which require deep
foundations.
Once the hole is drilled, a structure of reinforcing steel rebar is built and lowered into
the hole, then the hole is filled with concrete. The top of the pile may be capped with a
footing or pier near ground level to support the structure above.
Bored piling work must be done by bored piling contractor, It is a highly specialized
operation requiring extensive knowledge and experience of bored pile construction and
engineering as well as soil and site conditions.
36
Challenges to Bored Pile Construction
Like any other deep foundation system, bored piles present challenges
for the contractor. Because the drilling method used depends on the soil type, the
contractor must complete a thorough soil investigation and report. The piling
contractor relies on the soil report and past experience to choose the best drilling
method that will minimize the disturbance of the surrounding soil.
When the soil is cohesion-less, such as with sand, gravel, and silt, or the hole extends
below the water table, the hole must be supported using steel cages or stabilizing
mud, such as bentonite suspension. This solution can be a very messy process and add
considerable complexity to the project.

MAKING OF PILE AND PIER CAP
PROCESS-
Messing of Pile caps, pier shafts & pier caps by different reinforced steel
bars.
Welding by Arc welding method.
Shuttering and then casting (concreting).
CONCRETING OF STRUCTURES
Concrete is a composite material made up of mainly cement, water and
aggregates in definite proportion as per the grade of the concrete to achieve
the desired physical properties.
After casting of the structures curing is done.
48
CURING OF THE STRUCTURE:
For attaining the full strength of the concrete i.e. compressive strength curing with
water is properly done on the casted structure. It takes almost 28 to 30 days for a
concrete structure to attain its strength and durability.
49
DIA. AND DEPTH OF THE BORE HOLES:
Diameter of the pile =1200mm
Depth =25m (foundation level)
Lap length =50D
Reinforcements: 18 nos. 20mm dia. & 18mm @150c/c
50
SUPERSTRUCTURE
Structures which are above the pier cap and placed on the bearings are
superstructure. Roads are further constructed over it.
51
SEGMENTS:
Placed on the bearing plate. These are used to make a span of the flyover.
Segments are precast made up of M45 GRADE concrete and FE 500. These
structures are posses both Tension and Compression members, so designs are
made by taking in account both forces on it.It consists of a deck slab, longitudinal
girders, cross girders, deck beam, pier and foundation. Structural design of one
span was made for all the above components.
52
TYPES OF SEGMENT USED:
Pier segment(P.S)- These are placed at the end of the span on the pier cap. Length
of P.S is smaller than the normal segment and the anchor hole are inclined. Two P.S
are used in making of the span.
NORMAL SEGMENT- These are placed in between two P.S for making the span and
anchor hole are straight. Total 9 segments are used in between two pier.
Total length of span= 2*2.35+9*3.25=33.95m
53
GIRDERS:
Individual beam like structure which are separately placed on the bearings. These
structures are shorter in length than segment and stressing are done precast by
using cables certain in nos. Depends on the design.
In this project l-girder of 3 and 6 span are used.
54
55
LAUNCHING OF SEGMENT:
The segments are launched by launching girder or gantry girder. Beam are
connected both end of the segment and pressure are applied in segments. All the
segments are joined to each other by gluing.
56
JOINTING OF SEGMENT:
Mixing of both type of chemical (Nitobond Pc base thixotrop epoxy adhesive &
Nitobond Pc 30 harder) is done and every time two segments are
compressed(glued) to each other. After 24 hours the process checked by flushing
water and leakage in anchor hole.
ANCHOR HOLE-
These are present in entire segment to for stressing of it. 6 nos. Of hole are present
at one side of segment. Parabolic shape.
TENSILE WIRE-
It is a high tensile steel wire inserted in all 11 segment for stressing. No. Of wire
depend on the design(12, 19,25etc.). Grade of the wire is 19T15.
57
PRESTRESSING:
Pre-stressing means creating a permanent stress in the structure. In this process
dead end are fixed with life wedge to hold the tensile wire. And the free end is
fixed with hydraulic jack and force are applied approximately 369 T.
PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE
• Prestressed concrete is the one in which there have been introduced internal
stresses of such magnitude and distribution that the stresses resulting from the
external load are counter balanced to a desired degree.
• Pre stressing can be accomplished in three ways:
pre-tensioned concrete, and bonded or unbonded post-tensioned concrete.
58
GROUTING:
Grouting involves injection of cemented material in a certain ratio of cement and
water for isolated pore or void space is often called Simple grouting.
Quantity of material:
1. Cement :1 bag
2. Water: 22 litres
3. Admixtures: cibex 100
59
SPAN:
The distance between two span is 500mm.
Total span length between two pier varies in this project P1-P5 =34m, P6-P19-37m
and rest have distance= 20m

Bearing : ( Used Elastomer Bearing in our case )
63
GIRDERS: 20M SPAN GIRDERS
MAIN GIRDER:
These are the strong beams that carry load from superstructure to the
substructure.
A girder is a support beam used in construction. It is the main horizontal support of
a structure. Girders often have an I-beam cross section composed of two load-
bearing flanges separated by a stabilizing web. In our case girders were Prestressed
girders. Girders were casted at site.
64
END CROSS GIRDER:
The primary function of cross girders is to support the deck slab. The girders may
however need to perform secondary function of preventing the slab from buckling
in compression. Typically these are the transverse beams ( also very strong / stiff )
which are provided for transverse stiffness. This transverse diaphragm will make
sure that if you have multiple main girders, they share loads between them and
don’t behave independently.
65
CRASH BARRIER:
Crash barriers keep vehicles within their roadway and prevent vehicles from
colliding with dangerous obstacles such as boulders, walls or large storm drains.
Crash barriers are also installed at the roadside to prevent errant vehicles from
traversing steep slopes. Crash barriers are normally designed to minimize injury to
vehicle occupants, injuries do occur in collisions with crash barriers. They should
only be installed where a collision with the barrier is likely to be less severe than
collision with the hazard behind it.
To make sure they are safe and effective, crash barriers undergo extensive
simulated and full scale crash testing before they are approved for general use.
While crash testing cannot replicate every potential manner of impact, testing
programs are designed to determine the performance limits of crash barriers and
provide an adequate level of protection to road users.
66
Pedestal :
Pedestal is made of RCC And connecting to pier cap. The grade of concrete used for
pedestal is M40. The size of pedestal is 550mm*700mm as given below.
67
ABUTMENTS
An abutment is a structure that supports one end of a bridge in other word we can
say that it is structure located at the end & at the beginning of a bridge.
Functions of abutment
a) Support the bridge deck at end.
b) Retain the embankment of approaching road.
c) Connected the approach road to the bridge deck.
68
DECK SLAB
The principal function of a bridge deck slab is to provide support to local
vertical loads (from highway traffic, railway or pedestrians ) and transmit
these loads to the primary superstructure of the bridge.
As a result of its function, the deck will be continuous along the bridge span
and ( apart from some railway bridges ) continuous across the span. As a
result of this of this continuity, it will act as a plate ( isotropic or orthotropic
depending on construction ) to support local patch loads.

Transporting of concrete
Concrete can be imported by variety of methods and equipments Methods adopted
for transportation of concrete
Mortar pan
Wheel barrow
Belt conveyors
Chute
Transit mixer
Helicopter
Mortar pan
This case concrete is carried out in small quantities
This method exposes greater surface area of concrete for drying conditions
Mortar pan must be wetted to start with and must be kept clean
Wheel barrow
Used for transporting concrete in ground level.
This method is employed for hauling concrete in longer distance in case of concrete
road construction.
71
If the distance is long or ground is rough it is likely that the concrete get segregated
due to vibration
Crane can handle concrete in high rise construction project and are becoming
familiar sites in big cities
Rope way buckets of various sizes are used Rope way method is adopted for
Dumpers having 2-3 cubic meter capacity Belt conveyors also can be used for
72
Chutes
Provided for transporting concrete from ground to lower level
The surface should have same slope not flatter than 1 vertical to 2 and a1/2
horizontal
73
Transit mixer
This is the equipment for transporting concrete over a big distance particularky
ready mix concrete
A small concrete pump is also mounted on the truck carrying transit mixer
Starts with the suction stroke for suck the concrete inside the pipe
It has a piston which moves forward and backward to have suction and delivery of
concrete
Number of bends
Slump of concrete

75
What is aggregate ?
• The materials used for manufacture of mortar and concrete such as sand, gravel
etc. are called as aggregate.
76
CLASSIFICATION OF AGGREGATE
Natural Aggregate: These aggregates are generally obtained from natural
deposits of sand and gravels, or from quarries by cutting rocks. The
cheapest among them are the natural sand and gravel. Which have been
reduced to their present size by natural agents, such as water, wind and
snow, etc. The river deposits are the most common and are good quality.
Artificial Aggregate: The most widely used artificial aggregate are clean
broken bricks and air cooled fresh blast- furnace- slag. The broken bricks of
good quality provide a satisfactory aggregate for the mass concrete and are
not suitable for reinforced concrete work if the crushing strength of brick is
less than 30 to 35 Map. The bricks should be free from lime mortar and
lime sulfate plaster. The bricks aggregate is not suitable for waterproof
construction. It has poor resistance to wear and hence is not used in
concrete for the road work.
77
Classification according to size:
1. Fine aggregate: The aggregate which passes through 4.75 mm sieve and
retained on 75 micron sieve are known as fine aggregate.
2. Coarse Aggregate: The aggregate retained on 4.75 mm IS sieve are Known
as coarse aggregate.
3. All-in-aggregate: It is the combination of both coarse and fine aggregate.
78
CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO SHAPE:
79
TESTS ON COARSE AGGREGATE:
1. DETERMINATION OF CRUSHING VALUE (IS 2386 Part 4 - 1963):
80
This test gives the relative resistance of aggregate to wearing.
1. There are two methods prescribed in the IS code, Deval Attrition Test and
Los Angeles Abrasion Value.
2. But since LA test gives more realistic results, it is more commonly used.
3. In this method, the specified weight, 5kg or 10 kg, depending on the size of
aggregate is taken and is placed in the cylinder of the LA machine along
with the abrasive charge.
4. The abrasion charge consists of specific number of steel balls.
5. The cylinder is rotated at 20 to 33 r. p. m. for 500 or 1000 revolution,
depending on the grading of the aggregate.
6. The aggregate is removed from the cylinder and sieved on 1.75 mm sieve.
7. The fraction passing through 1,7 mm sieve is expressed as percentage of
original weight give the aggregate abrasion value.
