ES.1 GENERAL
“The Authority” is engaged in the development of National Highways and as part of this endeavour, the
Authority has decided to upgrade Ras - Beawar- Asind - Mandal section of NH-158 in the state of
Rajasthan.
The National highways Authority of India (NHAI) has appointed M/s. Feedback Infra Pvt. Ltd. for
providing the required consultancy services for preparation of Feasibility Report cum Preliminary Design
for up gradation of Ras-Beawar-Asind-Mandal section of NH 158, in the state of Rajasthan on
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) basis.
The scope of the project is to establish the technical, economic and financial viability of the project and
prepare Feasibility Report cum Preliminary Design for up-gradation of Ras-Beawar-Asind-Mandal
Section of NH-158 in the state of Rajasthan.
The project road starts at km 129.000 (SH-39) at Ras and ends at km 10.940 (SH-61) near Mandal
connecting to NH-48. The project stretch passes through Pali, Ajmer, Rajsamand and Bhilwara districts
of Rajasthan. Project road passes through important towns/villages like Ras, Jagatiya, Bhagatpura,
Babra, Roopnagar, Beawar, Laxmipura, Nimba Hera, Asind, Badnor and Mandal. Total length of this
existing link is about 134.000 kms including overlap section. The project stretch traverses through
rolling and hilly terrain and have mostly poor geometry except few locations where curve improvement
may not be required. The existing length project road is km 115.020 excluding the overlapping sections
of NH-8, and Shree Cement road, about 134 kms including overlapping sections.
the project highway. The height of embankment varies from 0.00 to 0.6 m in most of the stretches.
Approximately 64villages are observed along the project stretch.
The existing alignment comprises of 96 nos. sharp horizontal curves and 16 nos. deficient vertical
curves. The existing ROW is varying from 15-30 m. The existing junctions are not up to IRC standards.
The project road predominantly passes through barren land. The major built-up sections along the
project road are Ras, Badnor, Asind and Mandal.
The project road is having one major bridge one ROB, 14 minor bridges, 81 slab culverts, 140 pipe
culverts, 2 causeways. All minor bridges are having RCC solid slab type superstructure, stone masonry
wall type substructure and with open foundation. The pipe culverts are generally in poor working
condition, with pipe dia less than or equal to 0.6 m, however some of them are found in choked
condition due to accumulation of waste/garbage and siltation.
The existing alignment predominantly passes through barren land and traverses through patches of
dense urban built up sections. Alignment comprises of 96 nos. sharp horizontal curves and blind spots.
The following table provides the location of deficient geometry along the project road.
The deficient/substandard horizontal curves are improved by providing the required radius as per the
codal provision for the design speed of 80kmph/100kmph.
The existing alignment predominantly passes through barren land and traverses through patches of
dense urban built up sections. Alignment comprises of 16nos. of deficient vertical curves and blind
spots. The following table provides the location of deficient geometry along the project road.

In the above-mentioned sections acquisition of ROW for widening / redevelopment is very difficult due
dense settlements. Rehabilitation and Resettlement will be more if existing road is widened to Four lane
or Two lane with paved shoulder. So, Realignments and Bypasses are proposed are below mentioned
locations in order to provide a safe and congestion free passage to road users.
The objective the project is to provide better connectivity of various existing National Highways in the
country and thereby help induce socio-economic development in the project area. Improvements of
these selected national highway would improveconnectivity, facilitate speedy and smooth
transportation of bulk goods with less interruption at a lesser transport cost and in less time, induce
economic development of existing growth centres, provide impetus for the development of new growth
centres, employment generation and as a consequence poverty alleviation in the project areas.
Employment Generation
Labour-intensive approach is to be adopted in order to make labour as the predominant resource, while
ensuring cost-effectiveness and safeguarding quality. This involves a judicious combination of labour
and appropriate equipment, which is generally light equipment. It also means ensuring that labour-
intensive projects do not degenerate into “make-work” projects, in which cost and quality aspects are
ignored. Labour-intensive construction results in the generation of a significant increase in employment
opportunities per unit of expenditure by comparison with conventional capital-intensive methods Local
labourers can be trained for carrying out various construction activities. In some cases, labour may be
more effectively substituted in a fairly narrow range of construction or maintenance processes, for
example, only in excavation work. Mostly, however, the range is quite broad, including (in the case of
roads) clearing, topsoil and root removal, excavation, some haulage and spreading. This decision must
be based on an individual analysis of the situation. The following points listed plays and important role
in generating employment for locals:
Local people can also be trained to use the simple construction equipment’s used at difference stage of
road construction like rollers, water sprinklers using tractors, drivers for local vehicles used to transport
labours etc.
CSR Activities
1) RO Water Plants:
Setting up RO Water Plants: Ambuja Cement, Shree Cement and Ultratech Cements can undertake a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Public Health and Engineering Department (PHED) of
Rajasthan. These plants, with capacities ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 litres per hour can be installed to
provide safe drinking water to people living in villages.
Trauma Centres
Trauma Centres should have physical infrastructure in terms of emergency room, inpatient wards,
operation theatres, intensive care unit and blood bank facilities. A designated trauma team with
speciality services for managing polytrauma were should be available with skill of performing multiple
tasks. Neurosurgeons and rehabilitative nursing staff should be available, and a radiographer should be
available on a 24/7 basis. A nursing personnel with formal training in trauma care and standard
operating protocols should be available for trauma care. Resources for acute resuscitation were
partially adequate. The hospital should have resources to manage head, abdomen, chest and spine
injuries. For the project road Medical Aid Post will be set up at Toll Plaza Ch.13.905 and Ch.73.850
which will incorporate all the medical facilities for emergencies.
Local Transportation
It has been recorded during the site visit and public consultation that there is unavailability of the public
transport therefore community has to use the private transport which frequency is very less. Hence
public transport is required to decrease both travel time and fair.
Setting up of public umbrella bodies that have the capacity to make assessment of demand on various
routes and contract services that can be properly monitored. The umbrella bodies should also mange
common facilities like the bus stations, depots, terminals, and control centre etc. and provide for the
maintenance facilities. Such umbrella bodies should be formed including all the major stakeholders -
Shree Cements, Ambuja Cements, Ultratech Cement, Government Authority and private operators.
Development Plans
Tourism
There are no spots of tourism on this stretch so development of the project road will not enhance the
tourism in and around the area of project road.
Agriculture
The development of the project road will provide good connectivity to the nearby bigger villages and
town centres. Bhilwara has the biggest Mandi in the vicinity of the project road which is around 152km
from the start point of the project and around 46km from Mandal. The farmers can get good quality of
seeds and fertilizers and even knowledge from Knowledge centres set up by government in city centres
which provide information regarding the type of crops to be cultivated according to type of soil and
water availability in the region. Due to better connectivity farmers can sell their produce in Bhilwara
market which can fetch a good amount. There will be an overall improvement in farming and quality of
goods produced which will in turn bring prosperity and wealth in the region.
Industry
Major industry found on the project road is that of Cement. Development of the project road will give a
better connectivity with other regions which provides the raw material to industry. The raw materials
will reach the industries early and which in turn will increase the production of Cement and cement
related products.
suitable in urban areas. Here rain water flows away as surface run off and can be stored for
future use. Surface runoff rain water in ponds, tanks and reservoirs built for this purpose.
This can provide water for farming, for cattle and also for general domestic use. Without
sufficient water health and hygiene are severely affected. This adds to the environmental
pollution. Surface water can be stored by redirecting the flow of small creeks and streams
into reservoirs on the surface or underground.
The locations of the ponds are as below which can be redevelope and utilized for water storage.
The objective of the rehabilitation programme is to return the borrow pit sites to a safe and secure
area, which the general public should be able to safely enter and enjoy. Securing borrow pits in a stable
condition is fundamental requirement of the rehabilitation process.
Topsoil must be placed, seeded, and mulched within 30 days of final grading if it is within a
current growing season or within 30 days of the start of the next growing season. Vegetative
material used in reclamation must consist of grasses, legumes, herbaceous, or woody plants or
a combination thereof, useful to the community for the fuel and fodder needs. Plants must be
planted during the first growing season following the reclamation phase. Selection and use of
vegetative cover must take into account soil and site characteristics such as drainage, pH,
nutrient availability, and climate to ensure permanent growth. The vegetative cover is
acceptable if within one growing season of seeding, the planting of trees and shrubs results in a
permanent stand, or regeneration and succession rate, sufficient to assure a 75% survival rate.
There are many methods that could be used to help prevent or stop erosion on steep slopes, some of
which are listed below.
Fly Ash is a lightweight material, which may be used for construction of embankment, sub-grades etc.
singly or by mixing with suitable admixtures. The flyash is laid in alternate layers with soil and earth
blankets are also provided on the side slopes for the confinement of the materials as per IRC: SP: 58 –
Guidelines for use of Flyash in Road Embankment. The guidelines regarding design / construction of
embankments are given in IRC SP: 58-2001.
The thermal power plant at Kota Super Thermal Power Station (KSTPS) is nearest to our project highway
& is at a distance of 168+000 kms from project Highway. Flyash can provide technically viable,
environmentally sound & cost effective alternative to natural borrow soil. The typical cross section is as
shown below:
Figure ES-1: Typical Cross Section for usage of Flyash in Embankment Sections
Figure ES-2: Typical Cross Section for usage of Flyash in Retained Sections
Low grade cement will be utilized in the pavement layers. Cement Treated Subbase is proposed in
pavement layer and low grade cement is proposed for utilization.
While conducting Inventory survey of Road the existing phicical feature and surrounding condition of
the project road was ascertainded. Some of the silent feature of existing road described below
Road width
Width of existing ROW available is 9-24m.
Existing Shoulder
The width of shoulders is varying from 0.000 to 1.200 m. Shoulders are in fair to poor condition in most
of the project length.
Terrain
The terrain along the projects road is predominantly rolling and plain except few sections having hilly
terrain.
Land use
The observed land use pattern along the project road is mainly barren, agricultural and urban. The
barren and agricultural land constitutes about 37-40.5%, 42-48% and 15-17.5% respectively from Raas-
Beawar. The barren and agricultural land constitutes about 68-72%, 9-12% and 19-20% respectively
from Beawar-Mandal.
The existing pavement is in good condition for 77.6% of length, fair condition in 17.6% and poor
condition in 11.4 % of the project length. The existing shoulders are in poor condition. The summary of
pavement condition is given in Table ES.5.
Condition % of Length
Good 77.6
Fair 17.6
Poor 11.4
Failed 5.8
Sub-grade investigations are conducted by making the test pits along the project highway. The subgrade
investigations are carried out from the collected the samples.
The wearing of course of existing highway varies from 60-100 mm; base course are varying from 100-
250mm. The sub-base is found intermittently in 10% length with average thickness of 200mm. The
overall thickness of pavement is in the range of 210-530 mm and base and sub base thicknesses is not
adequate there for reconstruction is proposed .
The analysis of existing sub-grade material shows, the CBR values are in the range of 6% to 8.2% and the
borrow soil also has CBR of 7.8-11.3%. The below table gives the test results of sub-grade materials.
The evaluation of structural strength of existing flexible pavement was carried out using a Benkelman
Beam method in accordance with the procedure given in IRC 81-1997.
Detailed pavement condition survey and pavement investigations have been carried out to assess the
strength of the existing flexible pavement. Based on the observations from pavement
condition/investigations, strengthening measures have been finalized. The characteristic deflection
values(Dc) varies from 0.278mm to 2.140mm and the overlay thickness varies from 50mm to 120mm in
terms of BC and DBM.
The project road is having, 7 minor bridges, 29 slab culverts, 2 box culverts and 74 pipe culverts along
the existingroad. The structural condition of most of the culverts is generally fair to poor.
Topographic surveys were carried out in the month of November 2013 and in July 2015 for bypass and
realignments. Survey has been carried out using DGPS & Total Station.
Hydrological study
For performing the hydrological and hydraulic analysis which essentially need the design flood of a
specific return period for fixing the waterway vis-à-vis the design HFL of bridges depending upon their
size and importance to ensure safety as well as economy. As per IRC: SP: 13-2004 & IRC: 5-2015-Section
I General Features of Design specify that the waterway of a bridge is to be designed for a maximum
flood of 100 years return period. The catchment area shall be marked on the topo sheets of Survey of
India for their assessment.
The following methods can be used to estimate the peak discharge for bridge sites on streams;
Dicken’s Formula
Rational Method
Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (in case of Catchment Area>25 Sq.Km)
Highest of above shall be considered as design discharge. With the design discharge, calculations for the
100-year highest flood level shall be obtained using manning’s equation based on the 100-year flood
discharge. Afflux calculation, span arrangement and scour levels for piers and abutment shall be
estimated.
Road drainage shall be designed to cater the rainwater into the side drain quickly in order to avoid
stagnation of rainwater over road surface. The IRC SP 42:2014 will generally be followed for design of
highway drainage. The planning of highway and drainage is intricately linked with the terrain, alignment
of the highway and the proposed cross drainage works.
Overall cross drainage shows that almost all stream are from right to left considering increasing
chainage.
Rainwater harvesting pits are also proposed for recharge of ground water from flowing rainwater in
road side drains.
Protective Works
The proposed protective measures are to be provided for culverts as per IRC SP13:2004. Floor pitching
for flexible & rigid apron shall be provided to withstand under flow condition. Wingwalls / slope pitching
near abutments in case of bridges shall also be given to safeguard under flooding.
There are defined rivers, streams and canal crossing alignment. Some of the major rivers crossing the
alignment such as Lilri River, Khari River and Mansi River in which Lilri river is flowing from left to right
and other two rivers are flowing from right to left in the direction of increasing chainage. Other minor
bridge whose hydrological analysis is carried out having catchment area less than 25 sq. Km and streams
are of local stream in nature.
Part of the project road from design chainage 0 to 36.500 Km, contribution of all rainwater through
tributaries are from right to left and joined in Lilri river. This Lilri river is crossing the project road at ch.
1.443 Km. A schematic diagram of Figure ES-3 shows the drainage pattern of this part duly marked on
toposheets where blue line shows the main river path, green line shows tributaries joining main river
and magenta colour line for catchment area.
Similarly, Part of the project road from design chainage 36.500 Km to 64.000 Km, country slope is from
right to left side of the project road considering increasing chainage. Only small stream lie in-between
these part where minor bridges and culverts are proposed. A schematic diagram of Figure ES-4 shows
the drainage pattern of this part duly marked on toposheets.
Similarly, last part of the project road from design chainage 64.000 Km to 116.700 Km, country slope is
from right to left side of the project road considering increasing chainage. Two main rivers namely Khari
River at ch. 71.650 Km & Mansi River at ch. 92.554 Km crossing alignment from right to left considering
increasing change where major bridges are proposed. Other than these locations minor bridges and
culverts are proposed only. A schematic diagram of Figure ES-5 shows the drainage pattern of this part
duly marked on toposheets. All figures showing drainage plan of whole stretch has been shown below.

Figure ES-5: Drainage Pattern of Part road from ch. 64.000 to 116.700 Km (End Point)
For traffic surveys and analysis, the project road has been divided into six homogenous sections based
on the traffic flow pattern, including one count on NH-8.
The traffic volume survey along the project road has been carried out in month of November 2013 and
2018. The seasonal factor has been considered for converting ADT to AADT.
As per the clause 2.17 of “Manual of Specifications and Standards Two Laning of Highways with Paved
Shoulders” (IRC SP 73:2015) the project road having design service volumes below 10000 PCU/day and
below 18000PCU/day shall be upgraded to Two lane with Paved shouldersand 4-lane divided
carriageway as per As per clause of MoRT&H Circular No. F.No. RW/NH-33044/37/2015/S&R® dated
the 26th May 2016.
The current scenario of projected traffic warrant for up gradation to Two Lane with Paved and
Granular shoulders for HS-2,3 (Design Ch.30+050 to Design Ch. 74+000).

It has been observed that most of the accident locations are near curved sections of the project road
and near intersections. 3 fatal accidents took place near the first blackspot location of Harniya Mangri
Chowraha near Badnor which claimed the lives of 17 people. 6 fatal accidents and 2 grievous accidents
took place at the second black spot location of Para Chowraha near New Parasoli which claimed the
lives of 6 people and leaving 2 people seriously injured.
Majority of the accidents have occurred near the intersections and curved sections. So, all the
intersections are design according to the standards specified in the MORTH Type Design for
Intersections on National Highways.
Harnia Mangri near Badnor (17 Fatalities) – Alignment geometry is improved by providing
horizontal curve of Radius 240m with appropriate super elevation which provides user to travel
at a design speed of 80kmph safely.
Para Chowk Near Asind - The accidents took place due to improper design of intersections. The
junction improvement is now proposed as per the standard radius and elements defined in
MORTH’s standard Type Design for Intersections on National Highway.
Adequate quantity of sign boards, markings and other control and cautionary devices will be
installed along the corridor especially near junctions and curved sections.
The signs should will be invariably of retro-reflective and standard type helping the road users
in the night.
The drivers may tend to increase the speed, hence necessary sign boards at proper intervals will
be erected warning about the changes on course of road, speed restriction, other hazards etc.
Pedestrian activities along the project corridor, majorly in urban areas and near major
intersections will be taken care by providing sign boards and zebra crossings at junctions.
All the blind spots should be removed or rectified by realignment of the highway or by clearing
the obstructions leading to lack of visibility.
Bypasses and realignments are proposed to avoid major settlements were pedestrian vehicle
conflicts are common.
a) Highway Design: Geometry of the road will be designed as per the applicable Design speed
and relevant codes and standards. The deficient curves (horizontal and vertical) along the
existing geometry will be improved. Super elevation as per the curve radius will be provided
in order to avoid overturning of vehicles due to speed.
Adequate sight distances will be provided in order to avoid blind spots both horizontally and
vertically.
b) Road Signs: As per the applicability and requirement Road signs will be place all along the
road in order to guide the road user to traverse safely. A combination of road signs like
Mandatory – Regulatory signs, Cautionary-Warning signs and Informatory signs will be
installed. Variable Message signs will also be placed at identified locations in order to inform
road user about various details like climatic conditions ahead, diversions, accident zones,
speed reduction zones etc.
c) Traffic Lights / Signals: Traffic signals will be generally installed at intersections to control
the movement of vehicles. All traffic must move in conformity with the traffic lights or
signals. Traffic Signals, Pedestrian Signals and Lane Marking signals,
d) Pavement Markings: Pavement markings will be provided to delineate the centre of road,
identify travel lane, define road edge. Pavement markings also provide information about
special lane use. Markings can also be in the form of patterns, arrows, or other devices set
into or attached to the carriageway or kerbs or to objects within or adjacent to the
carriageway, for control, warning, guidance or information of road users.
1) Pedestrian Signals
Pedestrian Signals will be installed at the urban locations where pedestrian movement is
heavy.
At crossings with medium pedestrian crossings a push button traffic light can be installed.
Pedestrians can push the button and wait for the light to turn green and then move on and
cross cautiously.
a) Hazardous locations on Straight Sections: In particularly busy reaches where the road is
congested and vehicles move at a fast pace, guard rails should be provided on both sides
of the carriageway so as to channelize the pedestrian on to the planned crossing
locations.
b) At Junctions/Intersections: Railing barriers will be provided to prevent people from
crossing the junctions diagonally at signalised intersections. The barrier must open only
at planned crossing facility (at zebra crossing). At Signalised junctions’ sufficient length
of guard rail will be provided to guide the pedestrian to the neared planned pedestrian
crossing.
c) School Colleges: Guard rails will be provided near schools in order to prevent childrens
to run straight into the road.
d) Bus Stops, Railway Stations, Temple etc: Guard rails will be provided alongside walks
with suitable access at bus stops, railway stations and other areas of heavy pedestrian
activity such as cinema houses, stadiums etc.
e) Overpass, Subway etc.:Guard rails is to be provided at Overpasses and subways in order
to compel the pedestrians to use the facilities provided for them.
3) Pedestrian Crossings
a) Zebra Crossings: Zebra crossings will be provided along with stop lines as per IRC 35 for
safe crossing of pedestrians.
b) Hump Subways: Hump subways are provided by providing the subway partially under
ground and partially over the ground in order to reduce the walking length.
c) Full Subways: Full subways are provided by providing the subway fully under the ground.
d) Foot Overbridge: FOB will be provided where there are space constraints and heavy
pedestrian movement.
4) Footpath
Footpath with Kerb and pedestrian guard rail will be proposed continuously throughout the
urban and built-up sections in order to provide a safe passage for pedestrians to walk along
the traffic.
Detailed Road Safety Schedule and Traffic Calming Measures are provided in the form of
Annexures. The schedule contains the provision and locations of Road Markings and Road
Signs for all the Major Junctions, Minor Junctions, Schools, Temples, Govt. Offices,other
community buildings etc.
The design standards for the project road have been set from IRC SP 73-2015 “Manual of Specifications
and Standards for Two-Laning of Highways with Paved shoulders” and IRC SP 84-2019 “Manual of
Specifications and Standards for Four-Laning of Highways through public private partnership.
The project road is proposed for improvement two lanes with paved and granular shoulders and 4-lane
with design speed of 80-100 kmph in rural areas, and 30 kmph in stretches passing through forest and
built up areas.
Concentric widening is adopted to restrict land acquisition to minimum. The existing geometry has
many sharp curves and many sections requiring geometric improvement. The deficient sections have
been improved to design standards.
Bypasses have been proposed for 3 enroute villages where geometrics are not possible to improve
within available ROW. Different alternative are analyzed before finalizing the alignment for bypasses.
The list of bypasses villages and are given in Table ES.10. The improvement proposals are detailed in
Chapter-7.

Economic analysis indicates that, project EIRR is well above 12%, hence the project is economically
viable and strongly recommended for upgradation to two lane with paved and granular shoulders.
Based on the financial analysis, it is inferred that the Equity IRR for the project is not achieving
the desired benchmark of 15%. The project is not viable on PPP (Toll) mode of implementation
at maximum allowed grant of 40%, as equity IRR and Project IRR worked out as 5.35% for
Package-II.
ES.11 RECOMMENDATIONS
The project EIRR is well above the targeted 12%, Package – II is for upgradation to 2 lane with paved
shoulder. As the project FIRR is well below targeted 15%, hence recommend for implementation under
EPC mode.
1 INTRODUCTION
Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MORT&H) “the Authority” is engaged in the development of
National Highways and as part of this endeavour, the Authority has decided to upgrade Ras - Beawar-
Asind - Mandal section of NH-158 in the state of Rajasthan.
The National highways Authority of India (NHAI) has appointed M/s. Feedback Infra Pvt. Ltd. for
providing the required consultancy services for preparation of Feasibility Report cum Preliminary Design
for up gradation of Ras-Beawar-Asind-Mandal section of NH 158, in the state of Rajasthan on
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) basis.
The scope of the project is to establish the technical, economic and financial viability of the project and
prepare Feasibility Report cum Preliminary Design for up-gradation of Ras-Beawar-Asind-Mandal
Section of NH-158 in the state of Rajasthan.
The Inception report, Report on first alignment and Traffic Survey, Draft Feasibility Reportand Final
Feasibility Report cum Preliminary Design Report” is submitted to Authority.Later on directions were
received from office of the executive engineer PWD NH Div Pali vide letter no. 1589 dated 31-08-
2018. Based on this modifications are taken up in the present report which is termed as “Final
Feasibility Report cum Preliminary Design Report” as described in TOR.
The project road is one of the most recently declared National Highways by MORT&H in the State of
Rajasthan. The project road under consideration is declared as National Highway in January 2013.
The project road (NH-158), before converting into National Highway comprises of SH-39 (Ras to
Beawar), Shree Cement Road, part of NH-8 (Beawar), MDR-84 and SH-61.
After series of discussions with Client, while finalizing alignment, considering existing Highways around
Beawar, the Shree Cement Road is dropped from this project, by providing the bypass on south western
part of Beawar. The movement of traffic and existing bypass to Beawar also considered in finalizing the
alignment.The detailed inventory and analysis of NH-14 bypass and NH-8 is also excluded from this
report as these sections forming part of project highway for connectivity isalready developed and under
operation by NHAI. Figure 1-2 shows changes made to alignment i.e. NH declared as per Gazette
notification and project section included in this report.
Project road starts from Ras and ends near Mandal connecting to NH-48. Approximate length of the
project road is 134km traversing Beawar, Asind,Badnor& Mandal. Figure 1-1 shows key map of the
project road.Project road is located in Pali, Ajmer, Rajsamand and Beawar districts of Rajasthan.
The State of Rajasthan is located in north-western part of India. Rajasthan is surrounded on the west
and northwest by Pakistan, on the north and northeast by the states of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar
Pradesh, on the east and southeast by the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and on the
southwest by the state of Gujarat. The project road is located in Pali, Ajmer, Rajasamand and Bhilwara
districts of Rajasthan.
The date of signing of the contract is 24th September 2013 and the date of commencement of our
service is 30th September 2013.
Rajasthan, situated at the north-western part of India is the biggest state in the country of India and lies
between 230 30’ and 300 11’ North latitude and 690 29’ and 780 17’ East longitudes. The state shares its
north-western and western boundary with the Indo-Pakistan international border that extends about
1,070 km and touches the major districts Barmer, Bikaner, Ganganagar and Jaisalmer. Rajasthan is
bordered by Pakistan in the west and northwest, the states of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana in the
north and northeast. The state of Madhya Pradesh lies in the southeast and Gujarat in the southwest.
The huge portion of the state of Rajasthan is desiccated and houses the biggest Indian desert called the
Thar Desert and better known as the 'Maru-kantar'. The oldest chain of fold mountains - the Aravalli
Range splits the state into two geographical zones - desert at one side and forest belt on the other. Only
9.36% of the total geographical region lies under forest vegetation.
The Aravalli Range literally meaning 'line of peaks' , is a range of mountains in western India running
approximately 800 km from northeast to southwest across states of Rajasthan, Haryana, and Gujarat.
The Aravali Range runs across the state from the southwest peak Guru Shikhar (Mount Abu), which is
1,722 m in height, to Khetri in the northeast. This divides the state into 60% in the northwest of the
range and 40% in the southeast. The northwest tract is sandy and unproductive with little water but
improves gradually from desert land in the far west and northwest to comparatively fertile and
habitable land towards the east.
The Thar Desert of Rajasthan is situated partly in India and partly in Pakistan. Bordering the desert on
four sides are, Indus plains to the west, Aravalli Range to the southeast, Rann of Kutch to the south, and
Punjab plains to the north and northeast.
Weather in Rajasthan varies with the seasons of the year. The weather in Rajasthan ranges from very
hot in summer to chilly in winter. Like its varying topography, Rajasthan has varying climate. The
weather or climate of the Rajasthan can be broadly classified into four distinct seasons. They are - Pre-
monsoon, which is the hot season preceding the monsoon and extends from April to June, the
Monsoon that occurs in the month of June in the eastern region and mid- July in the western arid
regions, the Post-monsoon that commences from mid-September and continues till November and the
Winter that extends from December to March, January being the coldest month of the year. The
average temperature in winter ranges from 8° to 28° C (46° to 82° F) and in summer the average
temperature range from 25° to 46° C (77° to 115° F).
The project road is situated in Pali, Ajmer, Rajasamand, and Bhilwara districts. The brief details about
the district are as below:
Pali is a district of the state of Rajasthan in westernIndia. Pali is Rajput Dominated district. The town
of Pali is the district headquarters. The Aravalli Range forms the eastern boundary of the district and
towards southern boundary it ends at Bamner village inSumerpur Tehsil. A zone of foothills lies to the
According to the 2011 census Pali district has a population of 2,038,533.The district has a population
density of 165 inhabitants per square kilometer (430/sq mi) .Its population growth rate over the decade
2001–2011 was 11.99%.Pali has a sex ratio of 987 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of
63.23%.
Ajmer District is a district of the state of Rajasthan in western India. The city of Ajmer is the district
headquarters. Ajmer District has an area of 8,481 km² and a population of 2,180,526 (2001 census).
Three main religions are; Hindu 1,869,044, Muslim 244,341, Jains 47,812. The district is situated in the
center of Rajasthan, and is bounded by Nagaur District to the north, Jaipur and Tonk districts to the
east, Bhilwara District to the south, and Pali District to the west.
The eastern portion of the district is generally flat, broken only by gentle undulations. The e western
parts, from north-west to south-west, are intersected by the Aravalli Range. Many of the valleys in this
region are sandy deserts, part of India's Thar Desert, with an occasional oasis of cultivation. Some fertile
tracts are also present; among these is the plain on which lies the town of Ajmer. This valley has an
artificial lake, and is protected by the massive walls of the Nagpathar range or Serpent rock, which
forms a barrier against the sand. The only hills in the district are the Aravalli Range and its offshoots.
Ajmer is almost totally devoid of rivers. The Banas River touches the south-eastern boundary of the
district so as to irrigate the pargana of Samur. Four small streams - the Sagarmati, Saraswati, Khari and
Dai also intersect the district.
The district is divided into four subdivisions, Ajmer, Beawar, Kekri and Kishangarh, and further
subdivided into six tehsils, Ajmer, Beawar,Nasirabad, India, Kekri, Kishangarh.
According to the 2011 census Ajmer district has a population of 2, 584. This gives it a ranking of 161st in
India (out of a total of 640). The district has a population density of 305 inhabitants per square
kilometre (790 /sq miles population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 18.48%. Ajmer has
a sex ratio of 950 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of 70.46% (District Census-2011).
Rajsamand District is a district of the state ofRajasthan in western India. The town of Rajsamand is the
district headquarters. The city and district are named for Rajsamand Lake, an artificial lake created in
the 17th century by Rana Raj Singh of Mewar. The district had been constituted on 10 April 1991
from Udaipur district.
The district has an area of 4,768 km². The Aravalli Range forms the northwestern boundary of the
district, across which lies Pali District. Ajmer District lies to the north, Bhilwara District to the northeast
and east, Chittorgarh District to the southeast, and Udaipur District to the south. The district lies in the
watershed of the Banas River and its tributaries. Some other rivers are: Ari, Gomati, Chandra and
Bhoga. According to the 2011 census Rajsamand district has a population of 1,158,283, The district has
Bhilwara District is a district of the state of Rajasthan in western India. The town of Bhilwara is the

The project road (NH-158), before converting National Highway comprises of partly with SH-39 (Ras to
Beawar), Shree Cement Road, part of NH-8 (Beawar), MDR-84 and SH-61.
However the Shree Cement Road is excluded from this project, as the alignment is traversing from SH-
39 to NH-14 bypass on south western part of Beawar as described in Section 1.2.
The road inventory for sections of NH-8 and NH-14 bypass is also excluded from the project report as
these sections overlaps with proposed project highway which are already developed and under
operation by NHAI.
The project road starts at km 129.000 (SH-39) at Ras and ends at km 10.940 (SH-61) near Mandal
connecting to NH-48. The project stretch passes through Pali, Ajmer, Rajsamand and Bhilwara districts
of Rajasthan. Project road passes through important towns/villages like Ras, Jagatiya, Bhagatpura,
Babra, Roopnagar, Beawar, Laxmipura, Nimba Hera, Asind, Badnor and Mandal. Total length of this
existing link is about 134.000 kms including overlap section. The project stretch traverses through
rolling and hilly terrain and have mostly poor geometry except few locations where curve improvement
may not be required. The existing alignment details are given in Table 2-1. The existing length project
road is km 115.020 excluding the overlapping sections of NH-8, and Shree Cement road and about 134
kms including overlapping sections.
Exhibits showing start and end points of the project road are given below;
Terrain
The terrain along the projects road is predominantly rolling and plain except few sections having hilly
terrain. Some exhibits of the existing terrain along the project road are shown belowTable 2-2;
The observed land use pattern along the project road is mainly barren,agricultural and urban. The
barren and agricultural land constitutes about 68-72%, 9-12% and 19-20% respectively from Beawar-
Mandal. Table 2-3 gives the details of land use along the project road.
The following sections of the project highway are passing through the Forest Area which is given in

List of minor junctions observed along the project road are given in Table 2-9.
Detailed inventory and condition surveys for cross drainage structures are carried out, through pre-
defined format. In total one major bridge, one ROB, 14 minor Bridges, 81 slab culverts, 140 pipe
culverts, 2 causeways are found along the project highway under consideration for the development.
a. Pipe Culverts
Mainly there are two types of culverts i.e. slab culvert & hume pipe culverts are found along the project
road. Most of the pipe culverts is having dia less than or equal to 0.6 m, needs reconstruction as per
“Manual of Specifications and Standards for Two Laning of Highways with Paved Shoulder”. The
structural condition of most of the culverts is generally fair to poor. Poor maintenance has led to
improper functioning of the culverts. Adequate maintenance of the culverts in many areas can result in
proper functioning of the culverts. The detailed inventory of culverts is given in Annexure 3-4 of
Volume-IA.

3.1 GENERAL
The following detailed engineering survey is carried out to ascertain the existing project
features/details. The data collected from the field are investigated and analyzed to propose for the
improvement proposals.
Topographic and physical features of the project and surrounding region including
environmental features.
Road inventory
Pavement condition.
Traffic and turning movement surveys.
Inventory of intersections, urban/congested areas
Inventory and condition survey of bridges and other cross drainage structures.
Axle load surveys
BBD Surveys
Material Investigations
The topographical survey has been carried out using Total Station. The following activities have been
performed during the survey:
Traverse along the existing road and establishment of bench marks (BMS)
Cross-sections at 50 m intervals and at critical locations.
Longitudinal section levels along final centre line at 50 m in straight sections and at 10 m
interval in curved sections including fixation of cardinal points with a pair of reference pillars.
Collection of details of all features such as structures (Bridges) utilities, existing road etc.
For topographic surveys extended to a width of 30m beyond either side of the centre line of the
proposed divided carriageway or the land boundary whichever is more is surveyed. Where
existing road crosses the alignment, the survey extended to minimum 100m either side of the
road centre line and will be of sufficient width to allow improvements, including at grade
intersections to be designed.
Longitudinal and cross-sections for major and minor streams over 150 meters on both sides of
ROW and 100 meters beyond the abutments.
Location and type of services and utilities
An open traverse could lead to cumulated errors of angles. Hence, every 10 km the traverse has
been closed to limit cumulative errors. The benchmarks have been referenced to GTS BMs of
the Survey of India. A separate team has carried out this task. The ground cross-sections and
details of features are referred to as the BMs. Separate teams concurrently with the traverse
team have carried out these tasks. The leveling of the longitudinal section along the final centre
line (FCL) and fixation of cardinal points has been carried out.
The readings from the Total Stations has been registered using data base software and then
transferred to the survey model of the MX Road Software to prepare the DTM of the area
surveyed. The DTM and the longitudinal profile of the FCL have been computed by MX Road
software and drawn using Auto CAD on A3 size sheets showing 1 km sections (1:2500).
For junctions/intersections, additional areas have been surveyed (ground sections,
topographical features and utilities) as required. During this Survey, all utilities within the areas
surveyed has been identified, and noted; complementary data has been collected from the
competent bodies to complete the picture.
Various traffic surveys as per requirements of the TOR have been conducted on the Project Highway.
The detailed report of these surveys has been submitted under the report named, “First Traffic Survey
and Alignment Report”. The traffic count and other traffic surveys were carried out in the month of
November 2013. Proposed number and locations of traffic survey stations have been identified after
detail reconnaissance. Survey and count sheets have been spot checked on a regular basis and data
registered in the field office.
The detailed traffic analysis with given comment has incorporate in Chapter 4.
The classified volume count survey was conducted at three locations, each location representing mid
block count station for different homogeneous sections of project stretch. The count was conducted
continuously for 7 consecutive days and for 24 hours on all locations. The surveys were as per
guidelines illustrated in IRC: SP: 19 – 2001, ‘Manual for Survey, Investigation and Preparation of Road
Projects’.
Data analysis of turning movements at four junctions reveals that generally peak hours are staggered.
The intersection volume count data is presented in Annexure 4.3 and analysis in Chapter 4.
The vehicle loading spectrum in the project corridor and the corresponding damaging factor of different
categories of vehicles is an important parameter for the design of pavements. The main objective of the
axle load survey is to determine a Vehicle Damaging Factor (VDF) of each commercial vehicle & their
axle load band /distribution and expected damage on pavement and extent of over loading. The
methodology adopted for axle load survey is described below.
Axle load survey was conducted for duration of about 24 hour, in both directions along with the volume
count. Axle load survey has been carried out at 2 locations along the project road at km 147+000 near
Pratapgarh on SH-39 and 37+000 near to Brahmno ki Sareri. The survey has been conducted using
portable weigh pads.
Axle load survey was conducted to cover both direction traffic and both for empty and loaded
commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles include Light Goods Vehicles, 2-axle trucks, and 3-axle trucks.
Approximately 10% of commercial vehicle samples were collected. The detail of axle load surveys along
with analysis is given in Annexure 8.1 and Annexure 8.2 of Volume-IA.
Pedestrian-Count Survey was carried out as per IRC 103-1988, ‘Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities’. The
analysis was undertaken separately for each of the intersection where traffic surveys were conducted.
The data and analysis of the survey is presented in Chapter 4.
The accident data for the past 3 years was collected from the concerned police stations covering the
project road in order to identify the major accident locations and accident black spots. The analysis and
improvment are presented in Chapter 4.
Detailed road inventory surveys have been carried out to collect details of all existing road & pavement
features along the existing road sections. The data collected through road inventory surveys was
sufficient to meet the requirements. The data are presented in the format given as “Road Inventory
Data Sheet” (IRC-SP-19-2001). The headings are given below.
Pavement condition survey was done for collecting the basic information of the road structure & based
on this the road could be demarcated into
(i) Sections of more or less equal / uniform performance;
(ii) That is classified into similar characteristics or
(iii) Obtain homogeneous sections.
This operation consists primarily of visual operations supplemented by simple measurements for rut-
depth using a 3-meter straight edge. The criteria for classification of pavement sections have been
derived from IRC-81-1997 & maintenance manual., It is not practical to modify the overlay design at
frequent intervals; it will be preferable if the length of each section be kept at a minimum of 1 km
except in the case of localized failure or other situations requiring closer examination where minimum
length of section may be suitably fixed. In case the pavement shows severe distress or signs of
premature failure further investigation would be necessary to ascertain the causes & design remedial
measures.

Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique is useful in evaluating the strengthening requirements of the
existing flexible road pavements. The basic principle of deflection method considers the performance of
flexible pavements which is closely related to the elastic deflection / deformation of pavement under
the wheel loads.
The amount of pavement deflection under an applied design wheel load or its rebound deflection on
removal of this load is a measure of the structural stability of the pavement system. Larger rebound
deflection indicates weaker pavement structure indicative of strengthening and/or higher overlay
thickness for the pavement.
Structural strength surveys for existing two lane pavements using Benkelman Beam Deflection
Technique were carried out in accordance with the procedure given in IRC: 81-1997 “Guidelines for
Strengthening of Flexible Road Pavements using Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique”. The summary
of Characteristic deflection observed along the project road is shown below Table 3-3:

Fly Ash is a lightweight material, which may be used for construction of embankment, sub-grades etc.
singly or by mixing with suitable admixtures. The flyash is laid in alternate layers with soil and earth
blankets are also provided on the side slopes for the confinement of the materials as per IRC: SP: 58 –
Guidelines for use of Flyash in Road Embankment. The guidelines regarding design / construction of
embankments are given in IRC SP: 58-2001.
The thermal power plant at Kota Super Thermal Power Station (KSTPS) is nearest to our project highway
& is at a distance of 168+00 kms from project Highway. Flyash can provide technically viable,
environmentally sound & cost effective alternative to natural borrow soil. The following properties of
flyash have been tested;
Gradation
Specific Gravity
Modified Proctor MDD & OMC
Coefficient of Consolidation
Permeability
Sample collected from Kota Super Thermal Power Station (KSTPS) indicate that the material is a typical
fine-grained, non-plastic and predominantly cohesion less soils. Modified Proctor Test gives a low MDD
value of 1.24 gm/cc and OMC of 25%.
To prevent the surrounding air from pollution it is needless to mention that proper care should be taken
to transport, stack, lay and compact the fly ash materials in wet conditions, until the fly ash
embankment with clay blanket on both the side slopes reaches its required height and is covered by a
500mm capping layer of sub-grade soil at the top of the embankment.
The test results for the fly ash sample collected from Kota Super Thermal Power Station (KSTPS)

The quarry chart showing the available construction materials along the project road is given in
Annexure 3.3 of Volumn-IA.
Availability and suitability of other construction materials like fly ash, coarse sand, local sand and bricks
were investigated. Cement, Steel and Bitumen are manufactured items and readily available.
Inventory of all the structures along the project road was performed. The inventory included the
parameters required as per the guidelines of IRC-SP: 35-1990. The inventory of culverts is presented in a
tabular form covering relevant physical and hydraulic parameters. Detailed inventory and condition is
presented in Annexure 3.4 Volume-1A of this report.
IRC Special Publication No. 13-2004 (“Guidelines for the Design of Small Bridges and Culverts”) and IRC:
5-2015 (“Standard Specifications & Code of Practice for Road Bridges, Section I General Feature of
Design”). These investigations were carried out for all existing drainage structures along the road
sections under the study.
Study on topography (topographic maps), storm duration, rainfall statistics, topsoil characteristics,
vegetation cover etc were done so as to assess the catchments areas and hydraulic parameters for all
existing and proposed drainage provisions. The findings of the desk study have been further
supplemented and augmented by a reconnaissance along the area. All-important hydrological features
were noted during this field reconnaissance.
Information on high flood level (HFL), low water levels (LWL), discharge velocity etc. were collected
from available past records, local inquiries and visible signs, on the structural components and
embankments. Local inquiries were also made with regard to the road sections getting overtopped
during heavy rains.
4.1 GENERAL
The traffic studies have been carried out to study the behavioral pattern of the traffic along the project
road, the likely diverging and merging points and to assess the nature of flow. The traffic surveys also
carried out over the connecting link of NH-8, and incorporated in this Chapter-4. However the same is
excluded from further chapters.
Based on the traffic flow characteristics, project road has been divided into 5 homogenous sections and
the details are given below.
The following sections of state highways and National highways have been combined and declared to
be NH-158 as per the notification dated January31, 2013, published by the Gazette of India.
Note: In the above table the chainages mentioned are of the existing respective highways where the
surveys have been carried out.
To assess the volumes of traffic flows along the project road and their characteristics.
To access the requirement of number of lanes in the future years.
To assess the loading pattern of commercial vehicles with Axle load survey, this shall be
presented in the Feasibility Report.
The traffic survey locations were selected based on reconnaissance of the project road, requirements of
the study to determine local and long distance traffic flows and major / minor diversions if any.
This survey will be carried out manually for 7 days 24 hrs. The data collected shall be computerized in
MS-EXCEL software and analyzed to depict hourly and daily variation.The vehicle classification has been
developed based on the guidelines by IRC, project requirements and approved by the client. Toll
exempted vehicles have been counted separately so that the same are excluded in the estimation of toll
revenue. The counting has been done manually through trained enumerators and the data has been
collected in 15 minute intervals.
The data (primary and secondary) collected has been analyzed to obtain information on ADT, Seasonal
variation, AADT, traffic composition and Peak Hour traffic. This information along with the appreciation
of other relevant parameters formed part of the basic input for the estimation of traffic growth. These
are discussed in the following paragraphs.
The analysis of the directional classified traffic volume counts observed at various count stations has
been carried out to work out the following traffic characteristics:
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) including toll exempted vehicles
Hourly Variation
Daily Variation in Traffic Volume
Directional Distribution
Composition of ADT
Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT)
The various vehicle types having different sizes and characteristics were converted into Equivalent
Passenger Car Units. The Passenger Car Unit (PCU) factors recommended by Indian Road Congress in
“Guidelines for Capacity of Roads in Rural Areas” (IRC-64-1990) have been used for conversion, and are
presented in Table 4.3.
Table 4-3: Vehicle Classification and PCU Factors Used In the Study
The following Table 4-4 gives the summary of Average Daily Traffic (ADT) at 6 survey locations based on
average of 7 days traffic volume count surveys.
From the graphs presented in the figures below, it is observed that the traffic movement is more or less
uniform throughout the week at all the 6 locations.

The graphs for the hourly variation represents that there is no prominent peak hour,
although it is observed that the passenger traffic during the day is more than that at night.
Directional distribution of total traffic and commercial vehiclesare also analysed. The analysis reveals
that the directional distribution is almost same on both directions.

It is observed that the percentage of fast moving vehicles is almost 100% with negligible
slow moving traffic.
The percentage of commercial vehicles varies between 18 % and 28% at all the 6 locations.
The percentage of cars at all the 6 locations varies between from 14% to 23%.
The traffic plying on any road generally varies over the different periods of the year depending on the
cycle of different socio-economic activities in the regions through which it passes. Therefore, in order to
have more realistic picture of the traffic on the project road, it is required to assess seasonal variation in
traffic to estimate Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT). Therefore, the ADT observed during the survey
duration is multiplied by a Seasonal Correction Factor (SCF) to derive AADT.
The seasonal correction factor is generally derived from secondary data sources such as past month-
wise traffic data on the project road, monthly toll revenues from existing tolled highways in the
immediate influence area, sales of fuel at different filling stations along the project highway.
The details of monthly fuel sales were collected from 4 petrol pumps along the project road. The
average sales of the petrol pump have been used in working out the SCF.

For the present study, a SCF of 0.99(petrol) and 0.87(diesel) is taken as the survey was done in the
month of November. Hence, for this present preliminary study The AADT is as given in the Table 4-8
below:
4.6 DATA ANALYSIS- CLASSIFIED TRAFFIC VOLUME COUNT: Second Traffic Survey
Three days traffic counts were carried out in Month of November 2018 at five locations and data of the
same is presented below in Table 4.9.
AADT is the base year (2018-19) traffic. This is a product of ADT and seasonal variation factor. Seasonal
variation factor can be derived using various methods. Vehicle data from toll booths check posts etc. or
sale details of petrol and diesel fuels along the corridor are the commonly used sets of data. In the
present case fuel sale data is used, which is collected from various fuel outlets along the project stretch.
Sales of petrol and diesel in each month for the last two years are used to arrive at seasonal correction
factors. Table 4-10 shows the seasonal factors calculated.
For the present study, a SCF of 1.01 (petrol) and 0.95 (diesel) is taken as the survey was done in the
month of November. Hence, for this present preliminary study, the AADT is as given in the Table 4-11
below:
Table 4-11: Summary of Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) _Second Survey
4.7.1 Introduction
Origin - destination (O-D) surveys were conducted to elicit information related to the base year travel
characteristics of goods and passenger trips using the project road and likely future traffic diversions to
or from the project road. The travel characteristics obtained by O-D survey would facilitate the
identification of (i) local and through traffic on the project road, and (ii) the tollable traffic at the toll
plazas. The surveys were performed at 2 locations.
The surveys were carried out using the road side interview (RSI) technique for one day (24 hours) at two
locations. Road users were interviewed by trained enumerators to obtain the required data under the
guidance of traffic engineers and supervisors. For this purpose, cars (private and taxi cars) and buses
were considered as passenger vehicles. Similarly, LMVs, LCVs, 2-axle trucks, 3- axle trucks, 4 to 6-axle
trucks and > 6-axle trucks were considered as goods vehicles.
The information collected contained trip origin and trip destination. In addition, type of commodity for
goods vehicles and purpose and occupancy for passenger vehicles were also collected. Further, trip
length and frequency also elicited during OD surveys. The sample size of the surveys is provided in
Table 4-12 below.

The data collected from RSI were entered into the computer and checked manually. Incorrect entries
were corrected by cross-checking it with original field data sheets. The data was also checked for
inconsistencies. The checking included:
Trips from zones to zones which cannot possibly travel through the survey location
Vehicle type with their corresponding trip length / load / occupancy for any inconsistencies
The checked and corrected data were used for final analysis.
For analysis of data collected from the field, it is required to code them for developing origin and
destination matrices of trips. The local traffic needed to be assessed precisely, at the same time
‘through traffic’ and its geo-regional representation also should be assessed.
For the purpose of delineating the growth centers affecting the influence area, the entire country was
broadly divided into two regions. They are, Immediate Influence Area (IIA) and Broad Influence Area
(BIA) of the project.
A total of 17 zones were considered along and close to the project corridor. Certain areas / districts /
states were considered separately and far off districts were clubbed together. These considerations
helped in arriving at 66 zones for the project. The zones are listed in Table 4-13 below.
The OD details were collected from the trip makers during the survey on sample basis. Sampling varied
with the changes in traffic flow across the day. Care has been taken to eliminate any element of bias in
sampling. Since data was collected on sample basis, expansion factors are required to replicate the
pattern as reflected in the sample to the total number of vehicular trips made during the day. These
expansion factors are calculated separately for each class of vehicle. For example, if xc is number of cars
interviewed and Xc is the total number of cars counted during the day, then Xc/xc would be the
expansion factor for cars.
OD matrices are developed to assess the traffic movement pattern. These matrices actually speak about
distribution of trips for each zone as inter-zonal movements. The vehicle wise OD matrices are
developed by multiplying the sample OD matrix obtained from survey data with expansion factors.
Accordingly ten matrices, for different modes were developed for each survey location. OD matrices for
different vehicle type for project stretch at the survey locations are presented in Annexure 4.2 to this
report.
Table 4-14 & Table 4-15 depict the trip length distribution of each mode of vehicles at survey locations.
Passenger vehicles have lesser trip lengths, generally. The average trip length of cars is 100 km & 110
km and Buses travel about 100 km & 200 km on anaverage at first & second location respectively.
The trip length spectrum shows that 15% of the bigger commercial vehicles are having trip length is
more than 500 km. Around 85% of LCVs are travelling less than 200 km.
The different commodities recorded during the O – D survey have been classified in 17 categories as
presented in Table 4-16. Due consideration has been given to include all possible commodities and to
categorize them into homogeneous groups, accounting the pattern of movement along the corridor.

From the above tables, it is observed that most of the trips originating or destined are from Rajasthan
state.

Pedestrian-vehicular conflict can be effectively studied through the indicator suggested in IRC 103-
1988, ‘Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities’. The code suggests some form of control measure at mid
blocks and intersections where the indicator PV2 is greater than or equal to 2 x 10^8. Where ‘P’ is the
peak hour pedestrian volume and ‘V’ is the number of vehicles in that peak hour. The analysis was
undertaken separately for each of the intersection where traffic surveys were conducted. A summary of
the peak values for PV2 and the hour in which the same is observed is presented in Table 4-20.
It is observed that indicator PV2/10^8 is less than 1 in all the locations. In IRC: 103 – 1988, Guidelines for
Pedestrian Facilities. Therefore, it is concluded that control measure is not required at all locations.
The accident data for the past 3 years was collected from the concerned police stations covering the
project road in order to identify the major accident locations and accident black spots. The accidents
are grouped into four types based on their severity. They are:
Fatal accidents
Grievous injury
Minor injury
Non-injury
Based on above parameters the hazardous locations are identified. According to the revised definitions
issued by Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), Government of India, Road accident black
spot is a stretch of National Highway of about 500 mt. in length in which either 5 road accidents (In all
three years put together involving fatalities/grievous injuries) took place during the last 3 calendar
years or 10 fatalities (In all three years put together) took place during the last three calendar years.
Based on the analysis of the accident data, 2 locations were identified as black spot along the project
road as given below:
It has been observed that most of the accident locations are near curved sections of the project road
and near intersections. 3 fatal accidents took place near the first blackspot location of Harniya Mangri
Chowraha near Badnor which claimed the lives of 17 people. 6 fatal accidents and 2 grievous accidents
took place at the second black spot location of Para Chowraha near New Parasoli which claimed the
lives of 6 people and leaving 2 people seriously injured.
Majority of the accidents have occurred near the intersections and curved sections. Thus, the most
effective control measures should be adopted for curbing these accidents. The intersections should
be designed properly providing sufficient turning radius, traffic islands and proper demarcation of
road markings.
Adequate quantity of sign boards, markings and other control and cautionary devices should be
strictly installed along the corridor especially near junctions and curved sections.
The signs should be invariably of retro-reflective and standard type helping the road users in the
night.
The drivers may tend to increase the speed, hence necessary sign boards at proper intervals should
be erected warning about the changes on course of road, speed restriction, other hazards etc.
The drivers should also be warned about the pedestrian activities along the project corridor, majorly
in urban areas and near major intersections by providing sign boards and zebra crossings at
junctions.
All the blind spots should be removed or rectified by realignment of the highway or by clearing the
obstructions leading to lack of visibility.
Bypasses should be planned to avoid major settlements were pedestrian vehicle conflicts are
common.
Investment priorities are governed by traffic demand, assessed benefits and cost of the project.
Demand plays the important role, which governs which type of facility / infrastructure to be created.
This in turn determines likely benefits and costs to develop the same. A highway project of this nature
calls for significant investment. Prediction of traffic demand becomes an important task and has to be
carried out as accurately as possible. Accurate estimation of traffic has direct bearing on the viability of
the project. Recognizing this, efforts need to be made to carefully assess all the parameters that help in
predicting the traffic demand in future, which necessitates realistic estimation of traffic growth rates.
Traffic growth on a road facility is generally estimated on the basis of historical trends. In the present
case, traffic growth rates are estimated using elasticity method as per IRC-108-1996. Demand changes
are usually because of shifts in the pattern of economic activities in the surrounding regions. Hence,
future traffic estimation necessitates a preview, however imprecise, of the probable pattern of future
growth of the economy.
In the absence of historical traffic census data on the project road, the future traffic has been
forecasted using transport demand elasticity approach by regression of registered vehicles of Rajasthan
with respect to socio-economic parameters viz., population, PCI, NSDP and GDP as explained below.
The exercise of traffic growth rate estimation has been carried out by us using the elasticity approach.
The elasticity method relates traffic growth to changes in the related economic parameters. According
to IRC-108, 1996, elasticity based econometric model for highway projects could be derived in the
following form:
Where:
P = Traffic volume (of any vehicle type)
EI = Economic Indicator (GDP/NSDP/Population/PCI)
A0 = Regression constant;
A1 = Regression co-efficient (Elasticity Index)
Estimating the past elasticity of traffic growth from time series of registered vehicles of

trucks

A study of the socio-economic profiles of the regions comprising the project influence area (PIA)
provides an overview of the factors likely to influence the pattern of economic development and hence
the flows and volumes of traffic on the proposed highway. The details include population, Per-capita
Income, NSDP, GDP and targeted growth rates of the economy. The profiles help to generate basic
inputs for the estimation of future growth in transport demand on the basis of past scenarios,
prospective changes in transport demand elasticity’s and economic growth rates. The share of
Rajasthan has been considered as 90% while 10% has been considered for the Rest of India for
commercial vehicles. For passenger vehicles, only the influence of Rajasthan has been considered.
In order to analyze the vehicle growth in the state, the vehicle registration data of Rajasthan and India
have been collected. The Compounded Average Growth Rate (%) of different vehicle types is shown in
Table 5-1 to 5-2.
The past performance of the economic indicators for the project influence area (PIA) was also collected
for the same period (2004-2011), with the objective of establishing elasticity of travel demand to the
different economic indicators. The economic indicators considered for the analysis include:
Net State Domestic Product and Net National Domestic Product
Per Capita Income (PCI)
Population
the values of one or more independent variables. In the present case, registered vehicles by type are
dependent variables whereas the economic parameters are independent variables.
T-statistic
The t-statistic is a measure of how strongly a particular independent variable explains variations in the
dependent variable. The larger the t-statistic, the better the independent variable’s explanatory power.
Next to each t-stat is a P-value. The P-value is used to interpret the t-stat. In short, the P-value is the
probability that the independent variable in question has nothing to do with the dependent variable.
Generally, we look for a P-value of less than .05, which means there is a 5% chance that the dependent
variable is unrelated to the dependent variable. If the P-value is higher than .10, a strong argument can
be made for eliminating this particular independent variable from a model because it “isn’t statistically
significant.”
R Square
R Square is another measure of the explanatory power of the model. In theory, R square compares the
amount of the error explained by the model as compared to the amount of error explained by averages.
The higher the R-Square, the better it is.
Regression analysis has been carried out by creating econometric models as suggested in IRC: 108 –
1996, using past vehicle registration data, and economic indicators such as population and PCI for
passenger vehicles and NSDP for freight vehicles. All India registered trucks are also regressed with GDP
to estimate national level elasticity value for trucks and its growth rate. The elasticity values obtained
for each class of vehicle are given in Table 5-4.
Vehicle registration data represents all vehicles registered in the state, but does not indicate actual
number of vehicles plying on the road owing to vehicles taken off the
road due to lack of fitness certificate. Consequently, the elasticity values based on
registration data are usually higher than those based on actual traffic. Hence, there is a need to
moderate values obtained from registration data. In order to arrive at realistic future elasticity’s for the
project road; various factors relating to vehicle technology changes besides character of traffic and
travel pattern on the project road have been considered.
High elasticity of cars being witnessed now is because of large demand facilitated by financing
schemes and loans. Factors like growth of household incomes (particularly in urban areas),
reduction in the prices of entry-level cars, growth of the used car market, changes in life style,
growing personal incomes, desire to own a vehicle facilitated by availability of loans/financing
schemes on easy terms, etc. have all contributed to the rapid growth in ownership of cars.
However, such trend would slow down and elasticity can be expected to decline. The elasticity
obtained by using registered vehicles is actually an overestimate for the traffic moving on sub-
urban and inter-city routes. In view of all this, combined with the travel pattern of vehicles
moving on the road, elasticity value obtained by using registration data has been moderated for
future years.
Over the years, there is a change in passenger movement with more and more persons shifting
towards personalized modes. Moreover, buses are usually plying on fixed pre-decided routes
and thus elasticity values for buses have been considered accordingly.
With the changing freight vehicle mix in favor of LCV for short distance traffic and 3-axle/MAV
for long-distance traffic, higher elasticity values for these have been considered as compared to
2-axle trucks. Considering the ongoing technical advancements in automobile industry, some of
the standard two axle trucks would gradually be replaced by three axle truck and MAVs, leading
to reduction in number of trucks. This shift has already started taking place in different parts of
the country.
Considering the Project Influence Area (PIA) and economic indicators Rajasthan, the projected elasticity
values for various vehicle types are presented in Table 5-5, which have been used to estimate the
growth rates of each vehicle type. The transport demand elasticity by vehicle type over a period of time
tends to decline and approach unity or even less. As the economy and its various sectors grow, every
region tends to become self-sufficient. Moreover, much of the past growth has been associated with
the country’s transition from a largely rural, subsistence economy to cash based urban economy,
dominated by regional and national linkages. As the transition proceeds, its impact on transport
pattern can be expected to become less dominant. Therefore, the demand for different type of vehicles
falls, over time, despite greater economic development. The same is also clear from the relationships of
the economy and transport demand elasticity over time nationally and internationally.

Over the years there is a change in passenger movement with more and more people shifting towards
personalised modes. Moreover, the buses are usually plying on fixed pre-decided routes and thus
elasticity values for buses have been considered accordingly.
With the changing freight vehicle mix in favour of LCV for short distance traffic and MAVs for long-
distance traffic, higher elasticity values for these have been considered as compared to 2-axle and 3
axle trucks. Considering the on-going technical advancements in automobile industry, some of the
standard two axle trucks were getting replaced by three axle truck and MAVs over last few years,
further the three axle trucks also started replaced by MAVs in last few years leading to reduction in
number of trucks. But presently, production of new technology 2 and 3 axle trucks has been observed
and the same is expected to grow over a period of next few years. This shift has already been observed
in various areas of the country. The production trends of commercial vehicles in the country also depict
the increase in share of 2A and 3A trucks in last 2 years.
The Figure 5-1 shows the percentage changes in commercial vehicles, category-wise, in India from FY04
to FY17. The introduction of rigid body MAVs and 6-wheel LCVs have resulted in increased use of these
modes. These days the LCVs are used for even long-haul trips, contrary to their conventional usage. The
changes in vehicle technology, improved safety standards etc. have contributed to these shifts, but it is
clear from the chart below that the shift may have achieved equilibrium and plateaued over the recent
few years. However, for the purposes of our report, we have assumed that the shift continues.
Against this background, any agenda for future growth of the state economies has to take into account
past trends, future prospects and the emerging challenges. The growth prospects for the state have
been developed taking into consideration the past performance of the state economies and the
economic growth envisaged for the future. The pace with which the regional economies grow with the
envisaged growth of the state is a major contributing factor in growth of traffic.
Various studies by economic houses, researchers and other observers like World Bank, CID1 of Harvard
University, EIU2, OECD3 etc. have published the forecast for GDP, from time to time. Observing the
trend and relation of NSDP to GDP in the past (Section 2.6) the forecast for future is framed carefully.
The past 10 years witnessed a lot of changes in economic front of the country. Considering that entire
block as a guiding factor may skew the values, and thus a short period of recent past (2012-15) has been
taken as guiding block duly considering the trend in various periods. This helps in framing the future
GDP values for smaller periods initially, like blocks of two and three years and subsequently for five

years till 2059-60. Table 5-6 depicts the projection of GDP for horizon years.
Among the various GDP projections, OECD projection covers long term and is in line with recent trends
in growth. Thus, that series is adopted in the present study. The GDP suggested is considered for
factoring NSDP and the projections. The regions which out-performed the GDP in the past will continue
to do so, while others will follow the trends which are marked by their present trend as well as likely
changes in longer term.
As mentioned earlier, the government of India introduced a new series for GDP growth recently which
has changed the datum from FY05 to FY15 and the methodology of calculating the GDP also has been
changed. This made the historic values in the new series and projection of the old series difficult to
calculate, and moreover there is no data available for linking both. Thus the elasticities of different
modes are moderated considering the growth of both series in the overlapping period.
The prospective economy growth rate of the PIA states is presented in Table 5-6.
Table 5-6: Future Growth of Economic Indicators for Rajasthan and All India
The estimated traffic growth rates are arrived at by multiplying elasticity values and growth in economic
factors, as tabulated in the table 5-7.
Normal Traffic: The normal traffic which is presently plying on the project road.
Generated Traffic: Traffic which will come on project road, due to its up gradation
Diverted Traffic: Traffic that may divert to the alternative route due to toll imposed on the project
road and due to resultant
Total Traffic: The total Traffic will include generated traffic- diverted traffic (from/to the project road)
Diverted Traffic: There will be no diverted traffic as there is no alternate road exists.

The pavement design proposed is Rigid Pavement for Km 0+000 to 30+050 and flexible pavement for
Km 30+050 to Km 116+745. The flexible pavement design and rigid pavement has been done in
Proper signing and striping (delineation) are very critical for the safety and guidance of a driver. Signage
plans showing the guide signs, and regulating signs at all appropriate locations have been developed.
Guide signs showing the locations of and distance to all major crossings, towns and villages have been
installed at the appropriate locations. Regulatory signs, including the speed limit sign, toll signs and
signs for traffic have been installed at appropriate locations. The signs have been reflector type so that
they can be seen easily in the dark.
Also, the guide signs at major junctions have been illuminated type and have been mounted on poles so
that they can be easily seen. The lettering size used for designing the signs and location of signpost has
been based on the proposed design speed and clear visibility. The material specified for manufacturing
signs has been based on international standards. Use of reflectors has been made, so that the lanes are
clearly visible at nighttime. Different reflectors have been used for the medians striping and the lane
striping so that the opposite traffic can be properly guided.
All road signs are proposed to be provided conforming to standards of “Code of Practice for Road Signs”
(IRC: 67-2012) and “New Traffic Signs” (IRC: SP: 31-1992) Latest type of reflective and fluorescent sign
boards, in appropriate sizes, have been installed. The signs are broadly categorized as below:
(i) Mandatory/Regulatory Signs: These signs are mostly for giving instructions and are mostly
circular generally red and blue colors and sign shown in black or white.
(ii) Cautionary/Warning Signs: They are mostly triangular with red border and black sign.
(iii) Informatory Signs: These are mostly rectangular with blue or green background and sign in
white. Advance direction sign can be mounted on steel, brass portal frame fixed across the
carriageway at a height of 5.5 m above the pavement grade at the center of roadway and visible
from a distance for the vehicles approaching.
Road safety is being taken in the consideration during design to minimize the risk of accidents likely to
occur/occurring on the project facility and to minimize their severity. To ensure road safety, designer
should consider the factors like sight distance, curvature design, design speed, road sign and pedestrian
safety. Road Safety issues that have been integrated with the design are mentioned below:
1. Choice of route options
2. Alignment and ease of achieving design standards
3. Standards and cross-section
4. Junction Improvements
5. Road Furniture, Road marking and signs
6. Provision of Bus and Truck Bays
7. Drainage
8. Provision of footpath in the built-up section

7 ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES
The present traffic scenario from Ras-Mandal accounts for widening to two lanes with paved shoulder
and granular shoulders. No four lane sections are proposed as the project road passes through small
settlements. Concentric widening is adopted in most of the project length to restrict land acquisition to
minimum. The details of improvements are dealt in this Chapter.
7.2.1 Alignment
As per the Gazette notification of MORTH the alignment of NH-158 is formed with combination of SH-
39, Shree cement road, NH-8, MDR-84 and SH-61. The alignment of through SH-39, MDR-84 and SH-61
is retained with bypasses as per the requirements of Manual for Specifications and Standards.
Shree Cement Road provides connectivity to SH-39 & NH-8 for bypassing the Beawar City as per Gazette
Notification.Sub-sequent site visits with Authority regarding the alignment, and considering the
alternative options for the Beawar bypass, and also considering the existing by pass on NH-8 and NH-14,
it was agreed that alignment on Shree Cement Roadexcluded from the proposed improvement and
propose new bypass for Beawar on south western side connecting to NH-14 bypass. The new alignment
as discussed and agreed to implement is shown in Figure 7-1.
The existing geometry is followed in the stretches where the alignment is passing through forest land.
The design speed is restricted to 40-65 kmph in these stretches. The stretches passing through forest
land is given in Table 7-1.
Table 7-1: Forest Area
The existing carriageway is 3.5-7 m wide, with 1m to 1.2 m wide gravel/earthen shoulders. The
horizontal curves which are deficient either in radius or in transition lengths has been improved to as
per the design standards of National Highways. The vertical curves which are deficient in curve length
and gradients have also been improved. The vertical geometry is also improved at locations of proposed
structures & sections with poor pavement condition. The following Table-7.2 shows the improvements
to existing curves with transitions.
Table 7-3 gives the list of curves having radius less than 240m.
Table 7-3: List of Curves having Radius less than minimum desirable (240 m)
Bypasses have been proposed for various built-up areas along the project highway, where geometric
improvements are not possible as per design standards. The project highway before declaring to
National Highway is comprised with SH-39 and most of the length is MDR-84, and is prevailed with poor

8 PAVEMENT DESIGN
8.1 GENERAL
The existing pavement along the project is flexible in nature except few sections with rigid pavement.
The project envisages widening to two lanes with paved shoulder/ 4 lane of the carriageway for
augmenting the capacity of the project road and significantly extending its service life. Pavement design
includes strengthening of existing pavement, Reconstruction, New construction, Overlay and new
design for widening.
The general procedure for design of the flexible pavement and rigid pavement for widened portion as
new construction as well as strengthening of existing carriageway has been followed as per the
guidelines of IRC: 37-2018 and IRC 58-2015– “Guidelines for the design of flexible pavements” and
“Guidelines for the design of Rigid pavements” and IRC: 81-1997- “Guidelines for Strengthening of
flexible road pavements using Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique”.
Based on the evaluation of the functional and structural properties of the existing pavement, subgrade
strength, axle loads and design traffic, the pavement design can be divided into two parts:
New pavement design is based on the design traffic (MSA) and the subgrade strength, however the
overlay design will vary for each homogenous sections based on its structural and functional adequacy
as well as base and sub base thicknesses.
The following IRC codes are considered for the pavement design;
The typical layer combinations considered for flexible pavement and rigid pavement are shown in
Figure-8.1 and Figure 8.2.
Figure 8-1:: Typical Layer Combination for Flexible Pavement with Granular Base and Granular Sub-
base
The following design parameters have been considered for the flexible and rigid pavement.
Pavement design life is the period for which the initial design of pavement crust layers shall be carried
out. Design life should not be referred as terminal stage of crust beyond which crust becomes unusable.
Design life of 15 years has been considered for flexible pavement design.
The Rigid pavement design has been carried out in accordance with IRC: 58-2015. As per clause 5.4 of
IRC: 58-2015 a design life of 30 years has been considered for rigid pavement design.
Based on the detailed reconnaissance of the project road for traffic intensity and composition, the
project road is divided as four traffic homogeneous sections. The details of proposed traffic
homogeneous sections are given in Table 8-1.
Base year traffic in terms of AADT, design period, traffic growth rates, vehicle damage factors (VDFs)
and lane distribution factors (LDFs) are required to estimate the design traffic loading in terms of
equivalent standard axles.
The base year traffic has been assessed by carrying out traffic surveys. The detailed traffic surveys and
analysis for the project road have been given in separate chapter-4. For pavement design purpose,
commercial vehicles of laden weight more than 3 tones have been considered. Such vehicles consisted
of buses, LCVs, 2 Axle trucks, 3 Axle trucks and Multi Axle trucks. The summary of AADT of commercial
vehicles considered for pavement design is given in Table 8-2.
Traffic growth rates have been estimated based on elasticity method, but where the growth rate below
5% is estimate based on elasticity method shall be consider as 5% for MSA calculation as per IRC 37-
2012 and IRC 58-2015.Summary of obtained growth rates are given in Table 8-3. The detailed traffic
growth calculations have been given in Traffic chapter-4.
The vehicle damage factor (VDF) is a multiplier to convert the number of commercial vehicles of
different axle loads and axle configuration to the number of standard axle load repetitions. It is defined
as the equivalent number of standard axles per commercial vehicle. Universally accepted standard axle
load weighs 8,160 Kg. ESAL is determined by the relationships recommended in IRC: 37-2018 ‘Tentative
guidelines for the design of Flexible Pavements’. An excerpt is presented here.
Single axle with single wheel on either side : Equivalency Factor = (Axle load in tones /6.6)4
Single axle with dual wheels on either side : Equivalency Factor = (Axle load in tones /8.16)4
Tandem axle with dual wheels on either side : Equivalency Factor = (Axle load in tones /15.10)4
Tridem axles with dual wheels on either side: Equivalency Factor = (Axle load in tones /22.85)4
The relationship is referred to as the ‘Fourth Power Rule’, which states that the damaging effect of an
axle load increases as the fourth power of the weight of an axle. In order to convert axle loads from the
survey data into ESAL, each axle of each category of vehicle is multiplied by the equivalency factor of
that type of axle. The output is called the ‘damage’ caused by that particular axle on the pavement.
Damages by all axles are then added to find the cumulative damage by that type of vehicle. The
cumulative damage is divided by the number of vehicles of that category surveyed to obtain the
average damage, which is also called the Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) of that category of vehicle.

Sample Size
Axle load surveys have been conducted at two locations, to ascertain Vehicle Damage factors (VDF)
values along the existing project road at km 147+000 of existing SH-39 and km 37+000 of MDR-84. The
VDF values arrived from the analysis given in Table 8.4. The detailed axle survey data with analysis is
given in Annexure 8-1 and Annexure 8-2 of Volume-1A.
Lane distribution factors have been considered as per clause 4.5.1 of IRC: 37-2018 and the same are
given in Table 8-5.

Design traffic loading in million standard axles (MSA) has been estimated for design life of 15 years
(post construction).
The design traffic is considered in terms of the cumulative number of standard axles to be carried
during the design life of the road. This can be computed using the following equation:
N = 365*[(1+r)n-1]*A*D*F
r
Where,
N = Cumulative number of standard axles to be catered for in the design
In terms of MSA
A = Initial traffic in the years of completion of construction in terms
of the number of commercial vehicles per day.
D = Lane distribution factor
F = Vehicle Damage Factor
n = Design life in years
r = Annual growth rate of commercial vehicles
The traffic in the year of completion is estimated using the following formula:
A=P (1+r/100)x
Where,
The summary of obtained and adopted MSA is given in Table 8.6 and graphically shown as.The detailed
MSA calculations are given as Annexure 8-3.
Table 8-5: Obtained and Adopted MSA for the Project Road
As above Table 8-7 shows that on project stretch Sub base and base thicknesses during trail pit is not adequate as per national highway specification and
IRC 37-2018. Overlay can’t be done with insufficient base and sub base thicknesses and strength. Hence reconstruction has been done on Subgrade
onwards (laying New GSB layer).

As above Table 8-7 From the trial-pit investigation and subgrade test results presented in Table 8-8, it is

Effective Design CBR
Pavement Model: Flexible pavement is modeled as an elastic multilayer structure. Stresses and strains
at critical locations are computed using a linear layered elastic model. The stress analysis software
IITPAVE has been used for computation of stresses and strains in flexible pavements. Tensile strain, εt,
at the bottom of the bituminous layer and the vertical sub-grade strain εv, on the top of the sub-grade
are conventionally considered as critical parameters for pavement design to limit cracking and rutting in
the bituminous layers and non-bituminous layers respectively. The different stresses and strains in a
flexible pavement are shown in Figure-8.6.
The IRC method for pavement design is based on limiting the vertical compressive strain on top of sub-
grade which results in permanent deformation of the pavement and the horizontal tensile strain at the
bottom of the bituminous layer which results in cracking of the pavement. The relationships governing
the above two pavement failure criteria are expressed as:
Fatigue Model: With every load repetition, the tensile strain developed at the bottom of the bituminous
layer develops micro cracks, which go on widening and expanding till the load repetitions are large
enough for the cracks to propagate to the surface over an area of the surface that is unacceptable from
the point of view of long term serviceability of the pavement. The phenomenon is called fatigue of the
bituminous layer and the number of load repetitions in terms of standard axles that cause fatigue
Where,
Nf = Fatigue life in number of standard axles
εt = Maximum tensile strain at the bottom of the bituminous layer,
and
The mixes used in the pavement under study sections were generally designed for 3.5% air voids and
bitumen content of 4.5% by weight of the mix (which in terms of volume would come to 11.5%). Hence
introduced the C factor in fatigue models to take into account the effect of air voids (Va) and volume of
effective bitumen (Vbe), which is given by the following relationships,
Thefactor ‘C’ is anadjustment factor used to account for the effect of variation in the mix volumetric
parameters (effective binder volume and airvoid content)on the fatigue life of bituminous mixes was
incorporated in the fatigue models to integrate the mix design considerations in thefatigue performance
model.
A popular approach used for enhancing the fatigue life of bituminous layers is to make the bottom most
bituminous mixes richer in bitumen. Larger binder volume in the mix means an increased thickness of
the binder film in the mix and an increase in the proportion of bitumen over anycross- section of
thelayernormaltothedirectionof tensilestrain.Besideshavinglongerfatiguelives, largerbindervolumeswill
also be making the mix more moisture damage resistant due to thicker binder films which also reduce
the aging of the binder.Considering that thebottom bituminous layer will be subjected to significantly
lower stresses and lower summer temperatures compared to the upper layers, the chance of rutting of
the lower layer willbe less.
80% reliability
90% reliability
Where,
N - Number of cumulative standard axles, and
εv - Vertical strain in the sub-grade
As can be seen, the model considers the vertical strain in subgrade as the only variable for rutting, which
is a measure of bearing capacity of the subgrade. Rutting in granular layer also is lower when the
vertical subgrade elastic strains are given by above equation. Also is lower when the vertical subgrade
elastic strains are given by Equations. A granular layer founded on a strong subgrade has a high resilient
modulus and resists rutting when not highly stressed. Rutting in the bituminous layers also occurs due
to the secondary compaction and shear deformation apart from that in the subgrade. This needs to be
addressed. The recommendation in these guidelines is to provide rut resistant bituminous mixes using
higher viscosity grade bitumen or modified bitumen.
In these guidelines, the treatment of fatigue cracking of cement treated layers is recommended at two
levels. Thickness of the cemented layer is firstly evaluated from fatigue consideration in terms of
cumulative standard axles. At the second level, the cumulative fatigue damage due to individual axles is
calculated based on a model which uses 'stress ratio' (the ratio of actual stresses developed due to a
class of wheel load and the flexural strength of the material) as the parameter. The computation of
stresses due to the individual wheel load is done by the IITPAVE program. An excel sheet can be used to
calculate the cumulative fatigue damage of each class of wheel loads and sum up the cumulative
damage for the entire axle load spectrum. The design requirement is that the cumulative damage of all
wheel loads should be less than 1 during the design life of a pavement. If it is greater than 1, the section
has to be changed and iteration done again. The first model is taken from the Australian experience,
while the second one is suggested in MEPDG. The second level analysis is necessary only when very
heavy traffic is operating on the highways. The two fatigue equations are given below

The type and pavement structural layers proposed are Granular Sub base (GSB), Wet Mix Macadam
(WMM), Bituminous Surfacing comprising Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM-2) and Bituminous
Concrete (BC-2).
If the thickness of the sub-base layer provided in the design permits, the sub-base layer shall have two
sub layers; drainage layer and the filter layer. The upper layer of the sub-base functions as a drainage
layer to drain away the water that enters through surface cracks. The lower layer of the sub-base
should function as the filter/separation layer to prevent intrusion of subgrade soil into the pavement.
The aggregate gradations recommended for the drainage layer are granular sub-base gradations III
and IV of MoRTH specifications. The gradations I, II, V and VI specified for GSB by MoRTH are
recommended for filter/separation layer.
If the design thickness of the granular sub-base is less than or equal to 200 mm, both drainage and
filter layers cannot be provided separately. For such cases, a single drainage-cum-filter layer with GSB
gradation V or VI of MoRTH specifications may be provided.
When GSB layer is also provided below the median in continuation with that of the pavement, a non-
woven geo-synthetic may be provided over the GSB in the median part so that the fines percolating
through the median do not enter into the GSB and choke it.
Base Layer
The base layer consists of wet mix macadam, water bound macadam, crusher run macadam, reclaimed
concrete, etc., conforming to MoRTH specifications. Wet mix macadam may also consist of blast
furnace slag mixed with crushed stone meeting the MoRTH specifications. The thickness of the
unbound granular layer shall not be less than 150 mm except for the crack relief layer placed over
cement treated base for which the thickness shall be 100 mm.
When both sub-base and the base layers are made up of unbound granular layers, the composite
resilient modulus of the granular base can be estimated using equation given in IRC 37-2018 as the
modulus of the combined (GSB + Granular base) granular layer in MPa, ‘h’ as the combined
thickness (mm) of the granular sub-base and base and using the effective modulus (MPa) of the
subgrade.
Figure 8-7: Bituminous Surfacing with Wet Mix Macadam Base & Granular Sub-Base
The IITPAVE software was used for this design. The allowable strains in the pavement layers have been
calculated in terms of two primary pavement failure modes: fatigue cracking and rutting. The actual
strains arising in the pavement layers due to traffic loading have been calculated, assuming suitable
thickness values for different pavement layers. The assumed pavement crust is deemed to be safe for
the design loads, if obtained strains are lesser than the allowable strains.
Allowable strains as per IRC: 37- 2018 fatigue and rutting criteria are shown in the Table 8.12 for
different traffic loading (MSA).

8.4.3 Cemented Base and Cemented Sub-Base With Sami At Interface Of Cemented Base And
Bituminous Layer (Option – II )
The terms, ‘cementitious’ and ‘cement treated’, are used interchangeably in these guidelines. If the
CTSB material, which typically is a coarse/open graded material, is disturbed and shows signs of
instability, the same may be restored by treating it with cement or bitumen emulsion. If soil stabilized
with cementitious material is used as a sub-base, commercially available geo-composites can be used to
serve as drainage cum filter/separation layer.
For typical cement treated granular sub-base materials, the ECGSB can vary from 2000 to 6000 MPa.
Since the sub-base acts as a platform for the construction vehicles carrying 30 to 35 tons of
construction material, low strength cemented sub-base would crack under the heavy construction
traffic and a design value of 600 MPa is recommended for the analysis and design of pavements with
CTSB layers. CTSB with grading IV of IRC:SP- 89 having strength in the range 0.75- 1.5 MPa is not
recommended for major highways but it can be used for roads with design traffic less than 10 msa.
When the CTSB with UCS in the range of 0.75 to 1.5 MPa is used its modulus value may be taken as 400
MPa as specified in IRC: SP: 89.
Cemented base
Cemented base layers consist of aggregates, reclaimed asphalt material, crushed slag, crushed
concrete aggregates or soil-aggregate mixture stabilized with chemical stabilizers such as cement, lime,
lime-fly ash or other commercially available stabilizers which can produce mix of requisite strength.
Flexural strength of the cemented base is critical to the satisfactory performance of a bituminous
pavement. Cementitious bases shall be prepared by plant mixing or by a mechanized in-situ mixing
process. The aggregate gradation for CTB shall be as given in table 400-4 of MoRTH specifications.
The CTB material shall have a minimum unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of 4.5 to 7 MPa as per
IRC: SP: 89 in 7/28 days. While the conventional cement stabilized material should attain this strength in
seven days, granular materials and soil- aggregate mixture stabilized with lime, pozzolanic stabilizers,
lime-fly ash etc., should meet the above strength requirement in 28 days since the strength gain in such
materials is a slow process. As considered in the case of sub-bases, average laboratory strength values
should be 1.5 times the required minimum (design) field strength. The cementitious base material
must also meet the durability criteria.
For the functional requirement, the thickness of cement treated bases shall not be less than 100 mm.
Poisson’s ratio value of CTB material may be taken as 0.25.
SAMI layer
Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer (SAMI) of elastomeric modified binder applied at the rate of
10 – 12 kg / 10 m2 covered with 0.1 m3 of 11.2 mm aggregates. For the pavement analysis, the SAMI
layer is not considered as a structural layer, i.e., it shall not be included in the pavement composition
for pavement analysis.
Figure 8-8: Cemented base and cemented sub-base with SAMI at interface of cemented base and
bituminous layer
The IITPAVE software was used for this design. The allowable strains in the pavement layers have been
calculated in terms of two primary pavement failure modes: fatigue cracking and rutting. The actual
strains arising in the pavement layers due to traffic loading have been calculated, assuming suitable
thickness values for different pavement layers. The assumed pavement crust is deemed to be safe for
the design loads, if obtained strains are lesser than the allowable strains.
Allowable strains as per IRC: 37- 2018 fatigue and rutting criteria are shown in the Table 8.13 for
different traffic loading (MSA).

8.4.4 Flexible Pavement Design with Cemented Base and Granular Sub Base with Crack Relief Layer
of Aggregate Interlayer above the Cemented Base (Option –III )
The type and pavement structural layers proposed are granular sub base, Cementinious base (CTB),
Aggregate interlayer, Bituminous Surfacing comprising Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM-2) and
Bituminous Concrete (BC-2).
Cemented base
Cemented base layers consist of aggregates, reclaimed asphalt material, crushed slag, crushed concrete
aggregates or soil-aggregate mixture stabilized with chemical stabilizers such as cement, lime, lime-fly
ash or other commercially available stabilizers which can produce mix of requisite strength. Flexural
strength of the cemented base is critical to the satisfactory performance of a bituminous pavement.
Cementitious bases shall be prepared by plant mixing or by a mechanized in-situ mixing process. The
aggregate gradation for CTB shall be as given in table 400-4 of MoRTH specifications. The CTB
material shall have a minimum unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of 4.5 to 7 MPa as per IRC: SP: 89
in 7/28 days. While the conventional cement stabilized material should attain this strength in seven days,
granular materials and soil- aggregate mixture stabilized with lime, pozzolanic stabilizers, lime-fly ash
etc., should meet the above strength requirement in 28 days since the strength gain in such materials is
a slow process. As considered in the case of sub-bases, average laboratory strength values should be 1.5
times the required minimum (design) field strength. The cementitious base material must also meet the
durability criteria. For the functional requirement, the thickness of cement treated bases shall not be
less than 100 mm. Poisson’s ratio value of CTB material may be taken as 0.25.
Strength of cementitious layers keeps on rising with time and an elastic modulus of 5000 MPa may be
considered for analysis of pavements with CTB layers having 7/28 day unconfined compression strength
values ranging between 4.5 to 7 MPa. While the conventional cement treated layer should attain the
above strength in 7 days, lime and lime-flyash stabilised granular materials and soils should achieve the
strength in 28 days since the strength gain in such materials is slow.
The resilient modulus of a well-graded granular layer depends upon the gradation and the confinement
pressure to which it is subjected to under the application of wheel load. A typical value of 450 MPa is
Poisson’s ratio of the granular crack relief layer may be taken as 0.35.

8.4.5 Flexible Pavement Design with Cemented base and cemented Sub Base with Crack Relief Layer
of Aggregate Interlayer above the Cemented Base (Option – IV)
The type and pavement structural layers proposed are Cementinious base (CTB), Aggregate interlayer,
Bituminous Surfacing comprising Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM-2) and Bituminous Concrete (BC-2).
The material used for cementitious (cement treated) sub-base may consist of soil, river bed materials,
natural gravel aggregates, recycled concrete aggregates, crushed aggregates or soil aggregate mixture
modified with different cementitious materials such as cement, lime, lime- flyash, commercially
available stabilizers, etc. The recommended aggregate gradation for the CTSB material is Grading IV of
Table 400-1 of MoRTH specifications.
The terms, ‘cementitious’ and ‘cement treated’, are used interchangeably in these guidelines. If the
CTSB material, which typically is a coarse/open graded material, is disturbed and shows signs of
instability, the same may be restored by treating it with cement or bitumen emulsion. If soil stabilized
with cementitious material is used as a sub-base, commercially available geo-composites can be used to
serve as drainage cum filter/separation layer.
For typical cement treated granular sub-base materials, the ECGSB can vary from 2000 to 6000 MPa. Since
the sub-base acts as a platform for the construction vehicles carrying 30 to 35 tons of construction
material, low strength cemented sub-base would crack under the heavy construction traffic and a
design value of 600 MPa is recommended for the analysis and design of pavements with CTSB layers.
CTSB with grading IV of IRC:SP- 89 having strength in the range 0.75- 1.5 MPa is not recommended for
major highways but it can be used for roads with design traffic less than 10 msa. When the CTSB with
UCS in the range of 0.75 to 1.5 MPa is used its modulus value may be taken as 400 MPa as specified in
IRC: SP: 89. Poisson’s ratio value of CTSB layer may be taken as 0.25.
Cemented base layers consist of aggregates, reclaimed asphalt material, crushed slag, crushed concrete
aggregates or soil-aggregate mixture stabilized with chemical stabilizers such as cement, lime, lime-fly
ash or other commercially available stabilizers which can produce mix of requisite strength. Flexural
strength of the cemented base is critical to the satisfactory performance of a bituminous pavement.
Cementitious bases shall be prepared by plant mixing or by a mechanized in-situ mixing process. The
aggregate gradation for CTB shall be as given in table 400-4 of MoRTH specifications. The CTB
material shall have a minimum unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of 4.5 to 7 MPa as per IRC: SP: 89
in 7/28 days. While the conventional cement stabilized material should attain this strength in seven days,
granular materials and soil- aggregate mixture stabilized with lime, pozzolanic stabilizers, lime-fly ash
etc., should meet the above strength requirement in 28 days since the strength gain in such materials is
a slow process. As considered in the case of sub-bases, average laboratory strength values should be 1.5
times the required minimum (design) field strength. The cementitious base material must also meet the
durability criteria.
For the functional requirement, the thickness of cement treated bases shall not be less than 100 mm.
Poisson’s ratio value of CTB material may be taken as 0.25.
Strength of cementitious layers keeps on rising with time and an elastic modulus of 5000 MPa may be
considered for analysis of pavements with CTB layers having 7/28 day unconfined compression strength
values ranging between 4.5 to 7 MPa. While the conventional cement treated layer should attain the
above strength in 7 days, lime and lime-flyash stabilised granular materials and soils should achieve the
strength in 28 days since the strength gain in such materials is slow.
In case of pavements with CTB, a crack relief layer, provided between the bituminous layer and the
cementitious base, delays the reflection of crack from the CTB layer in to the bituminous layer. The crack
relief layer may consist of dense graded crushed aggregates of 100 mm thickness conforming to MORTH
specifications for wet mix macadam (WMM).
The resilient modulus of a well-graded granular layer depends upon the gradation and the confinement
pressure to which it is subjected to under the application of wheel load. A typical value of 450 MPa is
used for the sandwiched aggregate layer for the analysis of pavement. It shall be compacted to 100% of
the modified Proctor compaction maximum density.
Poisson’s ratio of the granular crack relief layer may be taken as 0.35.
The IITPAVE software was used for this design. The allowable strains in the pavement layers have been
calculated in terms of two primary pavement failure modes: fatigue cracking and rutting. The actual
strains arising in the pavement layers due to traffic loading have been calculated, assuming suitable
thickness values for different pavement layers. The assumed pavement crust is deemed to be safe for
the design loads, if obtained strains are lesser than the allowable strains.
Allowable strains as per IRC: 37- 2018 fatigue and rutting criteria are shown in the Table 8.15 for
different traffic loading (MSA).
8.4.6 Flexible Pavement Design with Foamed Bitumen/Bitumen Emulsion Treated Rap/Aggregate
over Cemented Sub Base (Option – V)
The terms, ‘cementitious’ and ‘cement treated’, are used interchangeably in these guidelines. If the
CTSB material, which typically is a coarse/open graded material, is disturbed and shows signs of
instability, the same may be restored by treating it with cement or bitumen emulsion. If soil stabilized
with cementitious material is used as a sub-base, commercially available geo-composites can be used to
serve as drainage cum filter/separation layer.
For typical cement treated granular sub-base materials, the ECGSB can vary from 2000 to 6000 MPa. Since
the sub-base acts as a platform for the construction vehicles carrying 30 to 35 tons of construction
material, low strength cemented sub-base would crack under the heavy construction traffic and a
design value of 600 MPa is recommended for the analysis and design of pavements with CTSB layers.
CTSB with grading IV of IRC:SP- 89 having strength in the range 0.75- 1.5 MPa is not recommended for
major highways but it can be used for roads with design traffic less than 10 msa. When the CTSB with
UCS in the range of 0.75 to 1.5 MPa is used its modulus value may be taken as 400 MPa as specified in
IRC: SP: 89.
Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material with or without virgin aggregates, treated with
foamed bitumen or bitumen emulsion can be used as the base layer. The minimum thickness of the
emulsion/foam bitumen stabilised RAP layer shall be 100 mm.
The resilient modulus of the material with bitumen emulsion (SS2)/ foamed bitumen shall be taken as
800 MPa though values as high as 3000 MPa have also been achieved on tests conducted on 150 mm
diameter specimens. VG30 bitumen is recommended for preparation of the foamed bitumen used for
stabilizing the RAP/RAP-aggregate material.
Indirect Tensile Strength of 102 mm diameter Marshall specimen of the bitumen emulsion/foamed
bitumen treated material determined as per ASTM:D 6931 [32] should have a minimum value of 100
kPa after soaking and 225 kPa in dry condition at a deformation rate of 50 mm/minute at 25°C.
The recommended Poisson’s ratio is 0.35.
The IITPAVE software was used for this design. The allowable strains in the pavement layers have been
calculated in terms of two primary pavement failure modes: fatigue cracking and rutting. The actual
strains arising in the pavement layers due to traffic loading have been calculated, assuming suitable
thickness values for different pavement layers. The assumed pavement crust is deemed to be safe for

UCS in the range of 0.75 to 1.5 MPa is used its modulus value may be taken as 400 MPa as specified in
IRC: SP: 89.
Base Layer
For the granular base placed on CTSB layer, the resilient modulus may be taken as 300 MPa and 350
MPa for natural gravel and crushed rock respectively. Poisson’s ratio of granular bases and sub-bases
may be taken as 0.35.
The IITPAVE software was used for this design. The allowable strains in the pavement layers have been
calculated in terms of two primary pavement failure modes: fatigue cracking and rutting. The actual
strains arising in the pavement layers due to traffic loading have been calculated, assuming suitable
thickness values for different pavement layers. The assumed pavement crust is deemed to be safe for
the design loads, if obtained strains are lesser than the allowable strains.
Allowable strains as per IRC: 37- 2018 fatigue and rutting criteria are shown in the Table 8.17 for
different traffic loading (MSA).
Reliability
These Guidelines recommend 90% reliability performance equations for subgrade rutting and fatigue
cracking of bottom bituminous layer for all important roads such as Expressways, National Highways,
State Highways and Urban Roads. For other categories of roads, 90 % reliability is recommended for
design traffic of 20 msa or more and 80 per cent reliability for design traffic less than 20 msa.
The minimum thicknesses, as specified in the guidelines, shall be provided to ensure intended
functional requirement of the layer.

9.1 GENERAL
The project road is having one ROB, one major bridge, 14 minor bridges, 83 slab culverts, 3 Box
Culvertsand144 pipe culverts, along the project highway.
All minor bridges are havingRCC solid slab type superstructure and open foundation with stone masonry
wall type substructure.
The structural condition of most of the culverts is generally fair to poor. The pipe culverts are generally
working and in fair condition. Most of the culverts having dia of pipe less than 0.6 m, proposed for
reconstruction as per the Manual of Specifications and Standards. Poor maintenance has led to
improper functioning of the culverts. Adequate maintenance of the culverts in many areas can result in
proper functioning of the culverts.
Table 9-1 gives the summary of existing structures along the project road.
i. The main objective of the hydrological and hydraulic study is to determine the required size of
drainage structures to allow the estimated design flow of the streams to cross the road safely.
ii. To check whether waterway of proposed structures are sufficient to transmit the flow without
risk so that appropriate decisions could be taken concerning their span arrangement.
iii. To estimate the peak discharge for 100-year return period flood
In order to achieve these objectives above mentioned, the work flow of hydrological & hydraulic
analysis has been given in schematic diagram below:

The bridges site in Ras - Mandal section in the state of Rajasthan. The road alignment falls under hydro
metrological Luni sub zone 1(a).
There are defined rivers, streams and canal crossing alignment. Some of the major rivers crossing the
alignment such as Lilri River, Khari River and Mansi River in which Lilri river is flowing from left to right
and other two rivers are flowing from right to left in the direction of increasing chainage.
Toposheets, Rainfall Data and topographical survey data are the primary basis of hydrological studies.
The data requirement and their applications are summarized in the table as given below:
For performing the hydrological and hydraulic analysis which essentially need the design flood of a
specific return period for fixing the waterway vis-à-vis the design High Flood Level (HFL) of bridges
depending upon their size and importance to ensure safety as well as economy. As per IRC 5-2015-
Section I General Features of Design specify that the waterway of a bridge is to be designed for a
maximum flood of 100 years return period.
Earlier bridges were constructed for 50 years return period probably. Based on the revised IRC codes
looking to the climatic change factors, 100 year return period have been adopted for design of bridges.
Existing bridges of major bridges nature are mostly submersible bridges. To make these bridges for
continuous traffic movement, high level bridges have been proposed.
The following methods can be used to estimate the peak discharge for bridge sites on major and minor
streams:
Empirical Formulae
Rational Method
Synthetic Unit Hydrograph Method
The above all methods have been discussed in detail as indicated below in subhead of Hydrological
Aspect and Hydraulic Aspect.
The empirical formulae used for the estimation of the flood peak are essentially regional formulae
based on the statistical correlation of the observed peak and important catchment properties. Dicken’s
method (empirical formulae) most popular method as given in IRC: SP-13-2004 and the formula for
assessment of peak discharge only from the catchment area less than 25 sq. Km.
a. Dicken’s Method
Q = CA3/4
Where,
Q = Peak discharge in cumecs
A = Catchment area in sq km
C= Dicken’s coefficient
= 11-14 where the annual rainfall is 600 mm to 1200 mm
= 14-19 where the annual rainfall is more than 1200 mm
= 22 in Western Ghats
This is a well-known method as given in IRC: SP-13-2004 and the formula for assessment of peak
discharge from project catchment takes into account rainfall, runoff under various circumstances time
of concentration and critical intensity of rainfall.
Here, 100 year Peak Discharge is calculated by following formula
Qmax = 0.0278 P f A Ic
Where,
Qmax = design flood (m3/s) for 100 year return period
f = Areal Distribution/spread Factor
C = Coefficient of runoff for the catchment characteristics
A = catchment area (Ha)
Ic = Critical intensity of rainfall in cm/hr during the time of concentration.

The value of runoff coefficient (P) depends on the porosity of the soil, vegetation cover, surface storage
initial state of wetness of soil, area , shape & size of the catchment and may be taken from the below
given Table.
The valueof areal distribution factor depends on catchment area as shown in below graph given in IRC-
SP-13.
Thus after calculating the above parameters, the 100-year return period peak discharge has been
calculated using the formula as given above.
Where catchment area is greater than 25 sq km, the flood discharge have been calculated using the
synthetic unit hydrograph method specified in Flood Estimation subzone Report of CWC has been
adopted for fixing the design discharge for the bridge. The proposed road falls under Luni subzone 1a.
In this method 1 hour Synthetic Unit Hydrograph is determined for an ungauged catchment. Following
steps have been followed as suggested in CWC report for determination of discharge by this method.
a) Physiographic parameters of the ungauged catchment viz. A, L, Lc and S have been determined
from toposheets or field observations.
b) SUH parameters for Subzone 1(a) have been computed using the following equations:
c) The estimated parameters of unit hydrograph in (b) has been plotted and the plotted points were
joined to draw synthetic unit hydrograph. The discharge ordinates of SUH at interval of unit hour
duration were found out from the equation of the plotted graph. The obtained value of the
ordinates is adjusted in order to get proper unit hydrograph shape and area under the unit
hydrograph. The unit hydrograph ordinates are summed up and multiplied by the unit hour
duration and compared with the volume of 1 cm direct runoff depth over catchment computed by
the formula as given below:
Q = (A X d) / (tr x 0.36)
d) The design storm duration has been taken as equal to base period of unit graph (TB =1.1* tp).
e) Point rainfall is read from the given plate in CWC report for 100 year 24 hr rainfall and has been
converted to area rainfall at design storm duration.
f) The areal rainfall of design storm duration is split into 1-hour rainfall increments using time
distribution coefficients.
g) Estimation of effective rainfall excess unit has been done after taking design loss rate into account.
h) Base flow has been estimated based upon the catchment area.
i) The effective rainfall ordinates are arranged against the ordinates of the UG in such a way that the
maximum value of rainfall is placed against the peak value of the UG, the next lower rainfall values
are arranged against the next lower values of the UG in appropriate order. The order of the
effective rainfall values thus obtained is reversed to get the critical sequence. The effective rainfall
values are applied to 1 hour unit hydrograph ordinates. The first rainfall excess value is multiplied
with each of the UG ordinate to obtain the corresponding direct runoff ordinates. The computation
is repeated with the remaining rainfall excess values & the direct surface runoff derived from each
successive rainfall excess is lagged by 1 hour. The total direct surface runoff for various time
periods is added to get the direct surface runoff hydrograph. The base flow is then added to each
of the direct surface runoff hydrograph ordinate, to get the values of design flood hydrograph
ordinates.
Proposed alignment is crossing Khari Right Main Canal in one location at ch. 74.485 Km of minor bridge
in nature offtaking from Khari River. The structure shall be proposed for sufficient width and vertical
clearance as per irrigation requirement.
Afflux calculations are carried out as procedures given in IRC: 5-2015 using orifice formula and
Molesworth formula used for calculation purpose.
Scour calculation for pier & abutment or box type bridges has been carried out using IRC SP: 13-2004
and IRC: 78-2014. Scour depth has been calculated using following formula:
Similarly,
Mean scour depth at pier = 2 * dsm
Maximum scour level at pier = HFL - 2 * dsm
The founding level shall be fixed on the basis of calculated scour level and bearing capacity of soil &
rock.
There are defined rivers, streams and canal crossing alignment. Some of the major rivers crossing the
alignment such as Lilri River, Khari River and Mansi River in which Lilri river is flowing from left to right
and other two rivers are flowing from right to left in the direction of increasing chainage. Other minor
bridge whose hydrological analysis is carried out having catchment area less than 25 sq. Km and streams
are of local stream in nature.
Part of the project road from 0 to 36.500 Km, contribution of all rainwater through tributaries are from
right to left and joined in Lilri river. This Lilri river is crossing the project road at ch. 1.443 Km. A
schematic diagram of Figure ES-3 shows the drainage pattern of this part duly marked on toposheets
where blue line shows the main river path, green line shows tributaries joining main river and magenta
colour line for catchment area.
Similarly, Part of the project road from ch. 36.500 Km to 64.000 Km, country slope is from right to left
side of the project road considering increasing chainage. Only small stream lie in-between these part
where minor bridges and culverts are proposed. A schematic diagram of Figure ES-4 shows the drainage
pattern of this part duly marked on toposheets.
Similarly, last part of the project road from ch. 64.000 Km to 116.700 Km, country slope is from right to
left side of the project road considering increasing chainage. Two main rivers namely Khari River at ch.
71.650 Km & Mansi River at ch. 92.554 Km crossing alignment from right to left considering increasing
change where major bridges are proposed. Other than these locations minor bridges and culverts are
proposed only. A schematic diagram of Figure ES-5 shows the drainage pattern of this part duly marked
on toposheets. All figures showing drainage plan of whole stretch has been shown below.
As the project area having scarcity of water, hence rainwater harvesting pits has been proposed at every
500m interval of storm water drain or in case, the drain length is less 500 m, pits are provided at end
point of the storm water drain before meeting to nalla near culverts, minor bridges and major bridges
on both side of the road. The recommendations are given in IRC: SP : 42-2014 clause 10.7.3 regarding
provision of rainwater harvesting.
Due to climatic conditions & changes and recommendation of 100 year flood return period, following
proposal has been modified as given below:
Flood discharge estimated in different ways should be compared & highest of these should be adopted
as design discharge in general. Data from Khari irrigation tank also taken into consideration for Khari
River Bridge. Accordingly, the design discharge has been established for all the bridges. Based on the
highest discharge, HFL has been reassessed using slope area method for the hydraulic calculation,
provision of spans and scour levels.
The major bridge is also proposed at km 71+760 on River based on the finding of hydrological studies.
The details of major bridges are given Table 9-5.

10 COST ESTIMATE
10.1 GENERAL
Cost estimation is important for the feasibility study as it provides vital input to the economic and
financial evaluation of the project. The estimate has been prepared for strengthening & widening the
existing stretches to two lane with paved and granular shoulders (Ch. 30+050 to Ch.74+000) as
proposed. Quantities for all the structures are calculated separately to arrive cost. The summary of the
Cost Estimate for two lane with paved and granular shoulders (Ch. 30+050 to Ch.74+000) including
strengthening of the existing pavement, strengthening / widening/reconstruction of existing structures,
new bridges on the proposed bypasses and realignments etc is given in this chapter.
The basic rates of construction items have been analyzed on the basis of Standard Data Book adding 5%
escalation per annum to achieve rate of 2016-17. Minimum wages of labours have been considered as
market rate. Market rates have been adopted for Cement, Steel and Bitumen prices updated.
Transportation Costs are taken from NH SOR 2016.
For items where these rates are not available, the rates were adopted as per previous experience of the
consultants / market rates. Appropriate escalation of 5% is considered to derive the prevailing
percentage over these rates. The basic rates of machinery have also been adopted as per previous
experience/market rates. For rate analysis of bituminous items, the basic rates of all grade of bitumen
recommended in the project are latest rates of Mathura Refinery.
The bill of quantities for civil works has been prepared on the basis of improvement proposal given
chapter 7, 8 and 9.
Adequate numbers of road signage and pavement markings have been considered as a safety measures
while making costing for road safety to give proper information to the road users to avoid accident on
the project road
The detailed cost estimates attached are given in Annexure 10.1 of Volume-IB. The rate analysis is given

As an additional option, project was analyzed on Hybrid Annuity Model for PPP projects. Hence, the
project financials have been worked out as per the Model Concession Agreement for PPP in Hybrid
Annuity Projects issued in November 2015 by Government of India.
Key Assumptions
The main assumptions made for undertaking the financial analysis are as follows:
Civil Cost: The EPC/civil cost of the project has been considered as INR 171.95 Cr.
Period of Analysis: The construction period for the project has been assumed as 36 months.
Total concession period including construction period is considered as 18 years (3 Years
Construction Period + 15 Years Operation Period)
Project Phasing: The development phasing for the Project has been considered is given in
following table:
These assumptions taken as per MORT&H Circular dated 10th August 2016. The Total Project Cost is
calculated in below table:
Bids would be evaluated on the basis of the lowest assessed Bid Price (the “Bid Price”). The Bid Price
shall be summation of (a) Net Present Value (NPV) of Bid Project Cost during the Concession Period and
(b) NPV of O&M cost (the “O&M Cost”) during the O&M Period, required by a Bidder for implementing
the Project and shall be paid as per the provisions of Article 23 of the Concession Agreement. For a
project to be financially viable the Equity IRR should be a minimum of 15%.
Conclusion
To achieve a target IRR of 15%, following is the optimal combination of Bid Project Cost and First Year
O&M Quote:
HAM Financial
Bid Project Cost 294.47 INR Cr
First year O&M Cost 6.32 INR Cr
NPV of (Bid Project Cost + First Year O&M Cost) 300.79 INR Cr
E-IRR 11.62 %
P-IRR 15.00 %
*The results are obtained after carrying out simulations (varying the bid project cost and the first year
O&M quote. It may be noted that any variation in the above mentioned assumptions or the structure of
the project, the results may vary significantly). The O&M Cost has been fixed so as to match the profile
of O&M expenditures over the year.
The Bidding Variables have been set as following in order to achieve the same. Simulations have been
carried out in order to achieve the minimum NPV of Bid Project Cost and O&M Cost. A bidder can play
with the above two parameters and still get the same NPV.

up areas Ras, Beawar, Asind, Badnor and Mandal. The project road plays vital role in providing
connectivity to Cement Industries set-up around RAS to NH-8. The design length of project road is
116.745 km, excluding the overlapping sections for connectivity such as NH-14 bypass, NH-8 and NH-
148D.The Civil cost and Total Project cost worked out as 294.47 crores respectively. .
Project EIRR is well above 12%, hence the project is economically viable and strongly recommended for
up gradation to two lane with paved shoulders.
Based on the financial analysis, it is inferred that the Equity IRR for the project is not achieving the
desired benchmark of 15%.The project is not viable on PPP (Toll) mode of implementation at maximum
allowed grant of 40%, as equity IRR and Project IRR worked out as 5.35% for Package-II respectively.
Considering the Social and Economical benefits due to proposed improvements, it is recommended to
implement under EPC mode of Contract.

2.1 Location
Ras is a Village in Jaitaran Tehsil in Pali District of Rajasthan State, India. It
belongs to Jodhpur Division and Mandal is a Town in Mandal Tehsil in
Bhilwara District of Rajasthan State, India. It belongs to Ajmer Division.
The site investigated is at different chainages along NH-158 from Ras in Pali
district (Jodhpur Division) to Mandal in Bhilwara district (Ajmer Division) of
Rajasthan.
2.2 Physiography and Climate
The average annual rainfall in the investigation area is about 635 mm. Almost
95% of the total rainfall is received during the southwest monsoon, which
generally comes in the last week of June and withdraws in the middle of
September.
January is the coldest month with mean maximum and minimum
temperatures being lowest at 22.20 C & 7.30 C. Temperature is summer
month of June reaches up to 460 C. There is drop in temperature due to
onset of monsoon and rises again in the month of September.
2.2 General Geology & Hydrogeology
The area under investigation lies in both Bhilwara district and Pali district of
Rajasthan and the investigation stretch is along NH-158.
Predominant geological formations in the investigation area are mainly rocks
belonging to Bhilwara Supergroup, Aravallis & Vindhyan Supergroup.
Bhilwara supergoup mainly consists of Calc-schist, gneisses, banded
magnetite – quartzite, dolomitic marble, quartzite, garnet – mica schist, and
ambhibolites.
Aravalli Supergroup mainly consists of Quartzite, dolomite, marble, biotite
schist, quartz-biotite gneiss, migmatites, amphibolites.
Vindhyan Supergroup mainly consists of Shale, sandstone and limestone.
Hydrogeology:
Major water bearing formations are gneiss and schist (Bhilwara Supergroup);
gneiss, schist, phyllite slate and limestone (Aravalli Supergroup); sandstone,
shale and limestone (Vindhyan Supergroup) and alluvium. Ground water
occurs under unconfined to semi-confined condition. Weathered zone below
the water table acts as a good storage.

(Project Ref.-16093164)
Weathered gneiss forms upper part of the bedrock in the investigation area.
Weathered gneiss with schist occupies most of the investigation area under
thin cover of alluvium. In schists, phyllites and slates, weathered zone
extends to depth greater than in granites and gneisses. Muscovite schist
often grades into gneiss.
2.3 Seismicity
The investigation area lies in Low Damage Risk Zone (Zone-II) and is the
least seismically active region.

The depth of these bore- holes was taken from the existing ground surface.
Disturbed and undisturbed samples were collected from these bore- holes at
various depths.
3.3 Standard Penetration Test
Standard Penetration Test conducted by means of the split spoon sampler
furnishes data about resistance of the soils to penetration, which can be used
to evaluate standard strength data, such as N values (number of blows per
30 cm of penetration using standard split spoon) of the soil.
Standard Penetration Tests were conducted in the boreholes at 1.5 m interval
as per the provisions of IS 2131:1981. The tests were conducted by means of
the split spoon sampler conforming to IS 9640:1980.
N values have been also utilized to establish the final shear parameters.

Various weights, e.g. , weight of empty bottle, weight of bottle filled with
water, weight of bottle filled with water and sample, etc are taken from which
specific gravity is calculated.
4.5 Direct Shear Test
Direct Shear Test is a strength test, which is performed on the soil sample to
determine the value of angle of internal friction. The direct shear test is
generally conducted on cohesionless soil as consolidated drained (CD) test.
4.6 Triaxial Shear Test
Triaxial Shear Test is a strength test, which is performed on the soil sample
to determine the value of cohesion and angle of internal friction. In the
present case, test samples were prepared from undisturbed samples and
were tested in the Triaxial Apparatus with un-drained / drained condition and
un-consolidated / consolidated condition simulating the actual site conditions.
UU test is performed as a set of three single stage tests. The test is
performed on clayey soils. Three specimens were taken from a single
undisturbed sample. The soil specimens were trimmed and cut until the
length to diameter ratio is approximately two. The specimens were then
weighed, measured and placed in a tri-axial cell and were sheared under un-
drained conditions at a constant cell pressure and strain rate. Axial load and
displacement were recorded at regular intervals until a maximum deviator
stress, or 20% of strain, is reached. Cell pressures of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 kg/cm2
have been used for three specimens.
CU & CD test were performed as a set of three single stage tests. Three
specimens were taken from a single undisturbed sample wherever possible,
otherwise remolding of samples were done under SMC. The soil specimens
were trimmed and cut until the length to diameter ratio is approximately two.
The specimens were then weighed, measured and placed in a tri-axial cell
and left for saturation. After the saturation is completed the sample is left for
consolidation under the desired cell pressure and then were sheared under
un-drained (for CU test) / drained (for CD test) conditions at a strain rate
depending on type of test. During shearing, axial load and displacement
along with pore water pressure in CU Test and burette reading in CD Test
were recorded at regular intervals until a maximum deviator stress, or 20% of
strain, is reached. Cell pressures of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 kg/cm2 for sample upto 15m
depth and 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 kg/cm2 for sample above 15m depth have been
used for three specimens.
4.7 Consolidation Test
Consolidation Test is conducted on clayey soil with an apparatus known as
consolidometer. The test is performed on the soil sample to determine the
values of void ratio, coefficient of volume change and coefficient of
consolidation.

In the present case, the structure is of major bridge, minor bridge and ROB
which is likely to transfer moderate load on the bearing strata of soil / rock.
For the prevailing ground conditions and type of structures, open foundations
shall be adopted.
6.6 Depth of foundation In Rock
The founding levels should be fixed considering an embedment of at least
1.50 m in to the disintegrated / weathered soft rock and 0.50m into the sound
hard rock.
As per clause 5.4.4 of IS 13063: 1991: In case of rock of very low strength,
highly weathered rocks, the depth of foundation shall be decided in
accordance with provisions of IS 1904 : 1986, considering the foundation
material to be as soil.
As per clause 5.4.3 of IS 13063: 1991: In case of jointed, sheared and partially
weathered rocks, the base of the foundation shall be kept at least 50cm inside
the rock surface so that the upper portion of highly weathered rock mass is
avoided.
6.7 Allowable Bearing Capacity of Foundations on Rock
Analysis for allowable bearing capacity on rock has been done by the following
three methods as per IS:12070.
a) Based on rock mass rating (RMR value) using the Table – 3 given in
IS: 12070.
b) Based on classification using the Table – 2 given in IS: 12070
c) Based on international practice as recommended by The American
Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
a) Analysis of Safe Bearing Pressure from the RMR System
Analysis has been carried out using the RMR also known as Geo-mechanics
classification by considering various parameters such as uniaxial compressive
strength, RQD, spacing and condition of discontinuities and ground water
condition. The correlation between the RMR value and allowable pressure has
been given in Table –3 IS: 12070. This will ensure settlement of raft foundation
to be less than 12 mm.
Rock Mass Rating (RMR) of jointed rock masses, may be worked out based
on IS 13365 (part I). Rock Mass Rating parameters are reproduced from
annex B of IS 13365 (part I) below for ready reference.

Geo-technical Investigation Report for feasibility study of NH-158 from Ras to Mandal in the State of Rajasthan
(Project Ref.-16093164)
Correction to be Applied
For getting the allowable bearing pressure the safe bearing pressure
obtained from 6.7 a and 6.7 b shall be multiplied with the correction factors
according to the geological conditions as per IS: 12070 Clause 9.2.
For submerged conditions - correction factor of 0.50 to 0.75
depending upon the aperture of joints
For orientation of joints - Correction factor of 0.50 to 1.00
depending upon the orientation of joints
These correction factors are not applicable for bearing pressure evaluated
from RMR system.
c) International Practice
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) recommends calculating the
bearing capacity considering general shear failure with irregular failure surface
through rock mass. Based on the evaluated rock characteristics, parameters
may be selected for foundation analysis by using the following equation.
Qult = c*Nc*Cc + 0.5*B*N.C + D*Nq
Where
c = Cohesion intercept
= Angle of internal friction of the rock mass
B = Width of foundation
D = Depth of foundation
= effective unit weight of rock
Cc & C Correction factors for foundation shape
Cc = 1.20 for circular and 1.25 for square foundation
C = 0.70 for circular and 0.85 for square foundation
Nc,Nq,N = bearing capacity factors which are a function of
Nc = 2.N N
N = N N
Nq = N
N = tan2 45 + /2

(Project Ref.-16093164)
From the above mentioned guidelines and the finding from the investigation carried
out, the recommended allowable bearing capacity for the proposed construction of
structures viz., minor bridge, major bridge and ROB is as following:

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
In view of the these findings & results obtained during the field and laboratory
investigations and the analysis carried out thereafter, following general recommendations
are being made for the foundation design of the proposed major bridges, minor bridge
and ROB structures at different locations along NH-158 from Ras to Mandal in the State
of Rajasthan.
1. The type of foundation depends upon the configuration of loading & loading
intensity as well as characteristics & behavior of subsoil. Considering the type
of loading and based on various findings of the investigations carried out, in
the present case, the type of foundation can be adopted as Isolated or raft
foundation.
2. The recommended allowable bearing pressure for the proposed construction
of structures are as following:
3. The choice of the value for design is a matter of engineering judgment and field
assessment of rock character. After review of the net bearing pressure
computed from different methods, the final value has been selected based on
our engineering judgment based on rock encountered in the limited number of
boreholes as reported herein. If any significant departure from the reported
data is noticed during actual construction, the matter should be referred back
for advice.

(Project Ref.-16093164)
4. The engineer should inspect the excavation to ensure that any loose, soft
weathered rock or unsuitable materials has been removed and that foundation
bear on the natural rock at site. The rock surface should be roughened and
scarified so as to ensure a proper bond between rock and concrete.

shear failure will be more probable. For intermediate values of between 29 to 36, the values of
bearing capacity factors are obtained by interpolation.

Determination of Allowable Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Rock
Analysis for allowable bearing capacity on rock has been done by the following
three methods as per IS:12070.
d) Based on rock mass rating (RMR value) using the Table – 3 given in
IS: 12070.
e) Based on classification using the Table – 2 given in IS: 12070
f) Based on international practice as recommended by The American
Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
a) Analysis of Safe Bearing Pressure from the RMR System
Analysis has been carried out using the RMR also known as Geo-mechanics
classification by considering various parameters such as uniaxial compressive
strength, RQD, spacing and condition of discontinuities and ground water
condition. The correlation between the RMR value and allowable pressure has
been given in Table –3 IS: 12070. This will ensure settlement of raft foundation
to be less than 12 mm.
Rock Mass Rating (RMR) of jointed rock masses, may be worked out based
on IS 13365 (part I). Rock Mass Rating parameters are reproduced from
annex B of IS 13365 (part I) below for ready reference.

Table 3 of IS-12070, Design & Construction of Shallow Foundation on Rock,
gives net allowable pressure based on RMR values. These values will ensure
settlement of foundation to be less than 12 mm. This table is reproduced
below.

The RMR for use in Table 3 as per IS: 12070 should be the average within a
depth below foundation level equal to the width of foundation, provided the
RMR is fairly uniform within the depth. If the upper part of the rock, within a
depth of about one fourth of the width of foundation, is of lower quality the
value of this part should be used or the inferior rock should be removed. Since
these values are based on limiting the settlement, they should not be
increased if the foundation is embedded into the rock.
Page -44
Geo-technical Investigation Report for feasibility study of NH-158 from Ras to Mandal in the State of Rajasthan

RMR value for highly fractured rock is also determined based on experience
as Joints are not very clearly defined. The RMR values for each bridge
location at founding levels are as below;

Correction to be Applied
For getting the allowable bearing pressure the safe bearing pressure
obtained from 6.7 a and 6.7 b shall be multiplied with the correction factors
according to the geological conditions as per IS: 12070 Clause 9.2.
For submerged conditions - correction factor of 0.50 to 0.75
depending upon the aperture of joints
For orientation of joints - Correction factor of 0.50 to 1.00
depending upon the orientation of joints
These correction factors are not applicable for bearing pressure evaluated
from RMR system.
c) International Practice
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) recommends calculating the
bearing capacity considering general shear failure with irregular failure surface
through rock mass. Based on the evaluated rock characteristics, parameters
may be selected for foundation analysis by using the following equation.
Qult = c*Nc*Cc + 0.5*B*N.C + D*Nq

Determination of Allowable Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Rock
Analysis for allowable bearing capacity on rock has been done by the following
three methods as per IS:12070.
g) Based on rock mass rating (RMR value) using the Table – 3 given in
IS: 12070.
h) Based on classification using the Table – 2 given in IS: 12070
i) Based on international practice as recommended by The American
Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
b) Analysis of Safe Bearing Pressure from the RMR System
Analysis has been carried out using the RMR also known as Geo-mechanics
classification by considering various parameters such as uniaxial compressive
strength, RQD, spacing and condition of discontinuities and ground water
condition. The correlation between the RMR value and allowable pressure has
been given in Table –3 IS: 12070. This will ensure settlement of raft foundation
to be less than 12 mm.
Rock Mass Rating (RMR) of jointed rock masses, may be worked out based
on IS 13365 (part I). Rock Mass Rating parameters are reproduced from
annex B of IS 13365 (part I) below for ready reference.

The RMR for use in Table 3 as per IS: 12070 should be the average within a
depth below foundation level equal to the width of foundation, provided the
RMR is fairly uniform within the depth. If the upper part of the rock, within a
depth of about one fourth of the width of foundation, is of lower quality the
value of this part should be used or the inferior rock should be removed. Since
these values are based on limiting the settlement, they should not be
increased if the foundation is embedded into the rock.

Determination of Allowable Bearing Capacity of Foundation on Rock
Analysis for allowable bearing capacity on rock has been done by the following
three methods as per IS:12070.
p) Based on rock mass rating (RMR value) using the Table – 3 given in
IS: 12070.
q) Based on classification using the Table – 2 given in IS: 12070
r) Based on international practice as recommended by The American
Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
e) Analysis of Safe Bearing Pressure from the RMR System
Analysis has been carried out using the RMR also known as Geo-mechanics
classification by considering various parameters such as uniaxial compressive
strength, RQD, spacing and condition of discontinuities and ground water
condition. The correlation between the RMR value and allowable pressure has
been given in Table –3 IS: 12070. This will ensure settlement of raft foundation
to be less than 12 mm.
Rock Mass Rating (RMR) of jointed rock masses, may be worked out based
on IS 13365 (part I). Rock Mass Rating parameters are reproduced from
annex B of IS 13365 (part I) below for ready reference.

Table 3 of IS-12070, Design & Construction of Shallow Foundation on Rock,
gives net allowable pressure based on RMR values. These values will ensure
settlement of foundation to be less than 12 mm. This table is reproduced
below.

Q ns (T/m2) 600-448 448-288 280-151 145-90-58 55-45-40
The RMR for use in Table 3 as per IS: 12070 should be the average within a
depth below foundation level equal to the width of foundation, provided the
RMR is fairly uniform within the depth. If the upper part of the rock, within a
depth of about one fourth of the width of foundation, is of lower quality the
value of this part should be used or the inferior rock should be removed. Since
these values are based on limiting the settlement, they should not be
increased if the foundation is embedded into the rock.
Page -80
Geo-technical Investigation Report for feasibility study of NH-158 from Ras to Mandal in the State of Rajasthan
(Project Ref.-16093164)
RMR value for highly fractured rock is also determined based on experience
as Joints are not very clearly defined. The RMR values for each bridge
location at founding levels are as below;
Depth of Foundation RMR Description of
RMR Value
below FBL Classification No. Rock as per RMR
3.00 m 25 IV Poor
Correction to be Applied
For getting the allowable bearing pressure the safe bearing pressure
obtained from 6.7 a and 6.7 b shall be multiplied with the correction factors
according to the geological conditions as per IS: 12070 Clause 9.2.
For submerged conditions - correction factor of 0.50 to 0.75
depending upon the aperture of joints
For orientation of joints - Correction factor of 0.50 to 1.00
depending upon the orientation of joints
These correction factors are not applicable for bearing pressure evaluated
from RMR system.
c) International Practice
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) recommends calculating the
bearing capacity considering general shear failure with irregular failure surface
through rock mass. Based on the evaluated rock characteristics, parameters
may be selected for foundation analysis by using the following equation.
Qult = c*Nc*Cc + 0.5*B*N.C + D*Nq
Page -81
Geo-technical Investigation Report for feasibility study of NH-158 from Ras to Mandal in the State of Rajasthan
(Project Ref.-16093164)
Where
c = Cohesion intercept
= Angle of internal friction of the rock mass
B = Width of foundation
D = Depth of foundation
= effective unit weight of rock
Cc & C Correction factors for foundation shape
Cc = 1.20 for circular and 1.25 for square foundation
C = 0.70 for circular and 0.85 for square foundation
Nc,Nq,N = bearing capacity factors which are a function of
Nc = 2.N N
N = N N
Nq = N
N = tan2 45 + /2
From the above mentioned guidelines and the finding from the investigation carried
out, the recommended allowable bearing capacity for the proposed construction of
minor bridge is as following:
