NOTES :
1.

FOR EFFECTIVE DRAINAGE, THE SLOPE OF EDGE OF PAVEMENT

(S) SHALL BE 3% GRADE. FOR GRAVEL SHOULDER AND 1.5% FOR
CONCRETE SHOULDER.

2.

e=s max. CAN BE TAKEN FROM TABLE OF DESIGN VALUE FOR SUPERELEVATION.

3.

THE SLOPE OF SHOULDER SHALL ALWAYS FILL IN THE DIRECTION OF

THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE TRAVELLED WAY.

4.

WHEN THE SUPER ELEVATION IS GREATER THAN 3% THEN THE SLOPE OF

LOWER SHOULDER SHALL BE THE SAME AS FOR THE TRAVELLED WAY.

5.

WHEN SUPER ELEVATION IS 4% OR LESSER, THEN THE LOWER SHOULDER

SHALL HAVE A SLOPE OF 3%.

6.

7.

IF THE SUPER ELEVATION IS 5% THEN THE CROSS SLOPE OF THE HIGHER

SHOULDER IS 2%. BUT FOR A MAXIMUM SUPER ELEVATION OF 8%. THE
SLOPE OF THE HIGHER SHOULDER WILL BE -1%.
SUPER ELEVATION SHOWN ON THE PROFILE ARE BASED ON CONSTANT
6.10 PAVEMENT WIDTH AND NOT ON VARYING PAVEMENT WIDTH DUE
WIDENING.

8.

THE CROSS SLOPE OF SUB BASE IS ALWAYS FALLING.

9.

ALGEBRAIC DIFFERENCE OF CROSSOVER SHOULD NOT EXCEED 7%.

10.

FOR e> 7% SHOULDER SHOULD BE PAVED.

b)

III. STATIONINGS
a) THE ROAD STATIONING AND ELEMENTS OF CURVES ARE RELATIVE TO THE ULTIMATE CENTERLINE OF THE ROAD.
b) EQUATION OF STATIONS WHEN USED (BACK STATION/AHEAD STATION) ARE PROVIDED AT THE BEGINNING
OR END OF THE CURVE AND/OR AT FULL STATION.

UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED ON THE PLANS. THE MINIMUM CYLINDER STRENGTH OF

STRUCTURAL CONCRETE AT 28 DAYS SHALL BE 21.00 MPa.

THE MINIMUM COVERING FRO SURFACE OF CONCRETE TO THE FACE OF THE NEAREST BAR SHALL BE 50mm.
ALL CONCRETE SHALL BE POURED WHERE THERE IS A PERMISSIBLE WEATHER CONDITION AND NO OTHER
ENVIRONMENT HAZARD WILL AFFECT THE POURING.
X.2) REINFORCING STEEL

a)

IV. HORIZONTAL CONTROL

a) BASIC TRAVERSE STATIONS WERE ESTABLISHED BASED ON STATIONS OF EXISTING KM. POSTS AND
EXISTING PERMANENT STRUCTURES AT THE PROJECT SITE.
b)

V. VERTICAL CONTROL
a) ELEVATIONS WERE ASSUMED AT THE FIRST BENCH MARK AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SECTION OF THE PROJECT
b) BENCH MARKS WERE ESTABLISHED AT EXISTING UNDISTURBED STRUCTURES AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS
ALONG THE PROJECT.

REINFORCING BARS FOR ALL STRUCTURES SHALL BE GRADE 60 (FY=414 MPa) FOR BARS LARGER THAN
16 MM DIAMETER . GRADE 40 ( Fy=275.8 MPa) FOR BARS 16 MM. DIAMETER OR SMALLER. ALL REBARS SHALL
BE FREE OF MILL SCALES, OIL OR ANY SUBSTANCE THAT MAY IMPAIR/WEAKER BOND WITH CONCRETE.

REINFORCING BAR SPLICING

WHERE SPLICING IS PERMITTED THE MINIMUM LAP LENGTH OF BARS SHALL BE AS PER AASHTO ARTICLE 8.32
ALL SPLICES SHALL BE STAGGERED AT LEAST 40 BAR DIAMETER. WHERE BUTT WELD IS USED INLIEU OF
LAPPED CONNECTIONS, THIS SHALL DEVELOP AT LEAST 125% OF THE SPECIFIED YIELD STRENGTH OF THE
REINFORCING STEEL BAR.

VI. HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT

a) THE HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT SHOWN IN THESE DRAWINGS FOLLOWS THE LONGITUDINAL JOINT OF THE
PCC PAVEMENT (WHICH IS DEFINED AS THE EXISTING CENTERLINE) WITH MINOR DEVIATION DUE MAINLY
TO SOME CONSTRUCTION ERRORS DURING ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION STAGE. MINOR ADJUSTMENT OF THE
HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT MAY BE MADE AS DIRECTED BY THE ENGINEER TO SUIT THE ACTUAL
FIELD CONDITION.

REINFORCING BARS SHALL BE ACCURATELY FORMED TO THE SHAPES AND DIMENSIONS INDICATED ON THE PLAN
UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED. ALL REINFORCING BARS REQUIRING BENDING SHALL BE BENT COLD.
WHEN REINFORCING BARS ARE BENT BY HEATING THE ENTIRE OPERATION SHALL BE APPROVED BY THE ENGINEER.

VII. REMOVAL OF EXISTING STRUCTURES & OBSTRUCTIONS

HOOKS AND BENDS

HOOKS AND BENDS SHALL BE AS SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING TABLE

a) ALL WORKS SHALL COMPLY WITH CLAUSE 39 "REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT VOLUME-1
OF THE STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS, 1988.
b) PORTIONS OF EXISTING UTILITIES, SUCH AS WATER MAINS. IRRIGATION CHANNELS, TELEPHONE POST AND
TRUNKLINES, ETC. THAT MAY CAUSE OBSTRUCTION TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT SHALL BE
RELOCATED BY THE ENTITY OR OWNER CONCERNED, EXTREME PRECAUTION SHALL BE EXERCISED BY
THE CONTRACTOR NOT TO DAMAGE ANY SECTION OF THE EXISTING PUBLIC UTILITIES DURING
CONSTRUCTION. ANY REPAIR OF DAMAGE THEREOF SHALL BE ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE CONTRACTOR,
ANY REMOVAL OF MISCELLANEOUS STRUCTURES THAT MAY BE REQUIRED SHALL BE CONSIDERED
SUBSIDIARY WORK PERTAINING TO OTHER CONTRACT ITEM. NO DIRECT PAYMENT SHALL BE MADE
FOR THIS WORK EXCEPT FOR SPECIFIC ITEMS EXPLICITLY FOR PAYMENT IN THE BID SCHEDULE.

VIII. ROAD CONNECTIONS AND PRIVATE ENTRANCES

Do

a) APPROACHES AND ROAD ENTRANCES SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED BY THE CONTRACTOR AS SHOWN ON THE
PLANS OR AS DIRECTED BY THE ENGINEER IN SUCH A MANNER TO ENSURE SMOOTH CONNECTIONS AND
RIDING QUALITY.
b) NO OPENING FOR DRIVEWAYS OR PRIVATE ENTRANCES SHALL BE ALLOWED EXCEPT WITH THE PRIOR
APPROVAL FROM THE PROPER AUTHORITIES.
