Abstract

The NH13 is to be upgraded to a four lane highway from a two lane

highway. The stretch modified is five kilometer long starting from
(646721.176, 1655881.061) and ending at (647444.850, 1658756.352).
The existing two lane width is 3.5 meters and with shoulders on either
side roughly 1.5 meter. This is to be up-graded to a four lane national
highway of 7 meter carriageway, 1.5 meter hard shoulder and 1 meter
Earth shoulder on either side of a 5m median. The four lane highway
should be able to cater a design speed of 80 Kmph.

Data and constraints

Data:
Levels are provided at every 10 meter along longitudinal section.
The Carriageway should cater 150MSA traffic loading.
The CBR value of pavement is 5%.
The design of pavement is done in accordance with IRC-37.
Coordinates of wall (left): 646916.245, 1656830.393 (CL start)
646891.321, 1656874.478 (CL end)
Coordinates of wall (right): 646825.115, 1656985.391 (CL start)
646808.021, 1657031.127 (CL End)
Coordinates of Temple: 646947.084, 1656713.089 (CL)

Constraints:
The Proposed alignment should not cross the irrigation lines at skew.
The Temple cannot be demolished.
The two walls are to be avoided.

As per IRC-37 pavement cross-section has four layers
1. Base Course- 50 mm
2. DBM- 145 mm
3. Granular Base- 250mm
4. Granular Sub Base- 300 mm
Outcome

Conclusion
The national highway 13 is upgraded to a 4 lane
highway with the required design speed of 80 Kmph
Without demolishing the Temple, Walls. There are 3
curves in the new alignment. One reverse curve and
the rest two normal curves. The vertical alignment is
done such that cut fill ratio is equal making the
design economical.
