GENERAL NOTES:-

D. PRESTRESSING SCHEDULE:-
§ STRESSING OF CABLE (1-7), (2-8), (3-9), (4-10), (5-11), (6-12), (13-20), (14-19), (15-18) & (16-17) SHALL BE DONE IN ONE
STAGE AFTER 28 DAYS OF LAST CONCRETING OF BOX ELEMENTS
§ THE CABLE NO. D SHALL ACT AS DUMMY AND SHALL BE STRESSED IN CASE OF ANY SHORT FALL IN STRESSING. IF
THERE IS NO. SHORT FALL STRANDS IN CABLE NO. D SHALL BE TAKEN OUT AND GROUTED.
B. E. STRESSING PROCEDURE:-
§ STRESSING IS TO BE DONE FROM BOTH END. EXTENSION SHOWN ARE TOTAL EXTENSION INCLUDING EFFECT
§ INDIVIDUAL STRAND SIZE :15.2MM (CLASS 2 / SEVEN PLY) CONFIRMING IS 14268:1995
§ INDIVIDUAL STRAND AREA :140 SQ.MM
OF SLIP (10 MM) AT EACH END. HENCE NO EXTRA ALLOWANCE SHALL BE MADE FOR SLIP.
§ NORMAL EXTENSION SHALL BE OBTAINED AT SPECIFIED GAUGE PRESSURE. IN CASE EXTENSION IS NOT AT
§ UNIT WEIGHT :1.102 KG/M
§ MIN. BREAKING LOAD, UTS: 260.7 KN
SPECIFIED GAUGE PRESSURE, THE STRESSING SHALL BE CONTINUED TILL REQUIRED EXTENSION OBTAINED
§ MIN. YIELD LOAD @ 1% STRAIN 234.5 KN (0.90% OF UTS)
SUBJECT TO GAUGE PRESSURE NOT EXCEEDING 5% OF REQUIRED GAUGE PRESSURE.
§ IN CASE REQUIRED EXTENSION IS OBTAINED AT LOWER GAUGE PRESSURE THEN STRESSING , SHALL BE
§ MIN. ELONGATION : 3.5%
§ 1000HR RELAXATION : 2.50% @70% OF INITIAL STRESS
CONTINUED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE SPECIFIED GAUGE PRESSURE. HOWEVER THE EXTENSION SHALL NOT
§ MODULUS OF ELASTICITY: 205 KN/SQ.MM
EXCEED BY MORE THAN 5% OF REQUIRED EXTENSION.
§ ALL CABLES SATISFYING THE ABOVE CONDITION SHALL BE GROUTED.
§ ANCHORAGE TYPE : 19K15
§ IF IN CASE OF ANY CABLE REQUIRED EXTENSION AT ONE END IS NOT OBTAINED EVEN REACHING GAUGE
§ NO. OF STRAND PER DUCT : 19
§ TOTAL NO. OF TENDON : 20
PRESSURE OF 5% MORE THAN THE SPECIFIED GAUGE PRESSURE, THE BALANCE EXTENSION SHALL BE
§ APPLIED PRESTRESS FORCE 75% OF UTS :195.5 KN
OBTAINED BY STRESSING THE OTHER END.
§ ADDITIONAL EXTENSION AT EACH END TO ACCOUNT FOR EXTENSION IN GRIP LENGTH OF CABLE SHALL BE
§ SHEATHING SHALL BE OF CORRUGATED HDEP TYPE OF 100MM CONFIRMING IRC 18:2000.
§ JACK TYPE :K500
ADDED TO THE RESPECTIVE EXTENSION SHOWN IN THE TABLE.
§ ALL CABLE ARE TO BE STRESSED FROM BOTH ENDS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
F. IMPORTANT N0TES:-
§ BUNCH TOGETHER ALL 12 STANDS INTO A GROUP BY BINDING WIRE TIGHTENED AROUND THE BUNCH AT ABOUT
1.0M INTERVALS.
§ ALL PRESTRESSING CABLES SHALL BE LAID TO SMOOTH PROFILES USING THE SPECIFIED PROFILE ORDINATES
GIVEN IN TABLE. SHORT 12MM DIA. CROSS BARS SHALL BE SPOT WELDED TO THE STIRRUP LEGS AT
APPROXIMATELY 1M CENTERS ALONG THE LENGTH OF CABLES TO GIVE THE NECESSARY PROFILE TO THE
CABLES.
§ BEFORE COMMENCEMENT OF PRESTRESSING, IT SHALL BE ENSURED THAT ALL THE CABLES/DUCTS ARE FREE
OF ANY CLOGS AND THAT THE STRUCTURE-MEMBERS ARE FREE TO ACCOMMODATE THE HORIZONTAL AND
VERTICAL MOVEMENTS DUE TO APPLICATION OF PRESTRESS, AND THAT THESE IS ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE
MOVEMENT OF THE JACK PISTON.
§ FOR TENSIONING A CABLE, THE INITIAL SLACK IN IT SHALL FIRST BE REMOVED BY APPLYING A RELATIVELY
SMALL INITIAL TENSION FROM EACH END AS REQUIRED TO REMOVE THIS SLACK SHALL BE TAKEN AS THE
STARTING POINT FOR MEASURING THE CABLE ELONGATIONS AND THE CORRECTION SHALL BE APPLIED AS PER
CLAUSE 12.2.1.3 OF IS1343:2012
§ THE SUPERSTRUCTURE IN A SPAN CAN BE LIFTED UPWARDS AT EACH OF ITS ENDS (WORK ONLY AT ONE END
AT A TIME)BY OPERATING THE APPROPRIATE-CAPACITY LIFTING JACKS APPLIED UNDER THE END
CROSS-GIRDER AT THAT END AS INDICATED IN THE DRAWING.
§ EACH OF THESE LIFTING JACKS SHALL HAVE A SAFE LIFTING CAPACITY OF 260 TONNES.
§ ALL JACKS MUST BE OPERATED SIMULTANEOUSLY, EQUALLY AND IN UNISON.
§ FOR MIX DESIGN OF M45 CONCRETE, IS10262:2009 GUIDELINE FOR CONCRETE MIX SHALL BE FOLLOWED.
§ REMOVAL OF FALSEWORK ONLY AFTER FULL PRESTRESSING
