In connection with the above subject and in continuation to letter under ref-4, it was
advised to divisions for assessment of the bridges for permitting higher axle load i.e
CC+8t+2t and 25T axle load.
However, in order to stream line the process and to maintain the uniformity of
assessment by all divisions, items to be considered during the assessment of the bridges for
permitting higher axle load (i.e CC+8t+2t / 25T axle load) are brought out below:
1. The Sub-structure of all the bridges have to be checked for permitting higher axle
load.
2. The Superstructure of non-standard span bridges shall be assessed.
3. In cases, where the details of Soil and SBC are not available, Soil investigation
shall be carried out.
4. For bridges, where Completion drawings are not available, the NDT test to be
done to ascertain the grade of concrete of substructure.
5. For bridges where Completion drawings are not available, the same has to be got
prepared.
Hence, it is kindly requested to take necessary action from your end for assessment
of bridges to permit CC+8t+2t wagons and 25T axle load wagons.

The stiffener bend in a steel girder bridge serves several important purposes:
1. Structural Integrity and Stability: Stiffener bends are used to enhance the stability and structural
integrity of the girder. They help distribute loads more evenly across the length of the girder and prevent
it from buckling or failing under heavy loads.
2. Reduces Distortion and Deflection: When a bridge is subjected to dynamic loads, such as those from
moving trains, it experiences bending and distortion. Stiffener bends help reduce these distortions and
limit the amount of deflection that occurs.
3. Prevents Lateral Torsional Buckling: Lateral torsional buckling is a failure mode in which a slender
beam (like a bridge girder) twists and bends under load. Stiffeners are strategically placed to prevent
this type of failure.
4. Aids in Load Distribution: Stiffener bends help in distributing the concentrated loads from the bridge
deck or other components to the main girders more effectively. This ensures that the load is spread out
over a larger area, reducing the risk of localized stress concentrations.
5. Improves Fatigue Resistance: Dynamic loads, such as those from trains, can induce fatigue in the
material over time. Stiffeners can be designed to absorb some of this fatigue, extending the lifespan of
the bridge.
6. **Enhances Buckling Resistance**: Stiffeners are designed to resist buckling, which is a critical
onsideration in the design of bridges subjected to heavy loads, like those in railway applications.
7. **Maintains Alignment and Shape**: Stiffeners help maintain the desired shape and alignment of the
girder, especially when it is subjected to lateral forces or uneven loading.
8. **Aesthetic Considerations**: While not a primary engineering reason, stiffener bends can also
contribute to the overall aesthetics of the bridge by giving it a distinctive appearance.
In summary, stiffener bends in steel girder bridges are a crucial design element that plays a vital role in
ensuring the structural integrity, stability, and longevity of the bridge, particularly when subjected to the
dynamic and heavy loads associated with railway traffic.

In connection with above subject and letter under reference-1, Railway Board has identified

advised to check the suitability of bridges and propose the works, if required for making the sections
fit for running 25T axle load.
Based on the analysis of the bridges, the rebuilding / strengthening of few bridges were
advised by this Office vide letter under Ref-2.
It is seen that completion drawings for the some of the bridges are not available in this Office
and same has been advised to division vide letter dated 14.09.2022 under Ref-2. Division were
advised to submit the completion drawings to this office to check the fitness of the bridges vide letters
dated 22.08.2022 & 19.08.2022 under Ref-2.
However, the completion drawings have been received with incomplete data like soil strata &
foundation details. Without these data, it is not possible to ascertain the fitness of the bridges for 25T
axle load.
In this connection, Hubballi and Mysuru divisions may propose to conduct the instrumentation
for checking the stability of Bridges (Priority- I) for which completion drawings are not available. The
list of bridges are enclosed as Annexure-I.

SUB: Proposed construction of Two-Wheeler Over Bridge over South Western Railway.
*****
In connection with above subject, it is proposed for construction of 2-wheeler over bridges at
locations of unauthorized trespassing by local people. These locations are primarily near yards where
due to non-connectivity between the two sides, people tend to cross the tracks. At several occasions,
this has led to major casualties. Construction of ROB/RUB at these locations is not feasible due to no
LC nearby, site constraint etc, huge expense for construction of ROB/RUB.
Hence, construction of 2-wheeler over bridge primarily for the pedestrians and 2-wheelers may solve
this issue and the same may required to be proposed wherever feasible on experimental basis.
In view of this, a type (drawing) has been developed for 2-Wheeler over Bridge (4.0m wide) for 4
track crossing and enclosed herewith for perusal..
It is requested to provide an Abstract Estimate and submit to office for further processing.
