Mumbai Coastal Road Project (South) Contract Code: MCRP/South/P-I

10.4. Prestressing Steel

The pre stressing system used shall be XXX system or XXXX system or any other
equivalent approved system.
The following are defined for the pre stressing system:-
· Multi-strand system comprising the required number of strands in a circular duct.
· Anchorage and coupling system for the anchoring of the pre stressing forces at the ends or for
continuing the force by coupling.
· Internal tendons comprising of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sheathing around the strands
of bars, external to the concrete shall be used. Once the force is locked off, the orifice is filled
with cementitious grout for corrosion protection as well as for bonding of the strands to the
concrete to form a bonded system.
For pre stressing strands, 7 wire low-relaxation strands complying with IS: 14268-1995 or
IRC 112-2011 whichever appropriate, will be used. The following strand types are proposed to
be used on the project according to the details and design requirements for various structure
types.
Material property Normal Strands
Strand Type Uncoated stress relieved
low relaxation Class II
conforming to IS 14268
Yield strength (MPa) 1560
Ultimate strength (MPa) 1770
The breaking strength 0.2 % proof load
Young’s Modulus (GPa) 195
Relaxation (After 1000h) Maximum 4.5%
Other Design Parameters of Strands shall be as per IRC 112.

10.5. Bearings

i) Elastomeric Bearings
Laminated elastomeric bearings conforming to IRC: 83 (Part II) and shall conform to clause
2005 of MORTH specification for Road and Bridge Works shall be used for load transfer from
superstructure to substructure of bridge.

ii) POT cum PTFE Bearings

POT cum PTFE bearings shall be provided where there will be requirement to cater large
loads.

iii) Metallic and Spherical Bearings

Metallic and Spherical Bearings are to be provided as per requirement.
