2.2 Design Requirement

The scope of the detailed design consultant consists of the design of foundation and substructure for viaduct and
stations, viaduct superstructure for non-standard and special spans and structural design for station buildings.
Architectural and MEP design and details for station buildings are excluded from the scope.
The design of station structures shall be carried out in consideration to the following factors:
 Operational requirements.
 Traffic requirements, road and pedestrian requirements
 Utilities; both underground and overhead
 Structural requirements as per relevant standards
 Environmental considerations
 Workability and disruption due to construction
 Flexibility in design to allow response to site-specific requirements
3 Design Basis
The design criteria mentioned in this report mentions the minimum standards, which form the basis for design of various
structural components of the Station Building only. For viaduct portion, separate report of design basis is to be referred.
Design and loading requirements for the structures are as per Design Criteria as part of the tender documents by the
DMRC and also in accordance with the relevant standards.
Structures, where Metro Live loads are not applicable, the design of Plain and Reinforced Concrete structures will
generally be governed by IRS:CBC, however, inference which are not cleared in the IRS:CBC may be referred from IS
456, pre-stressed concrete structures shall generally be governed by IS : 1343, Steel structures design shall generally be
governed IS :800. Seismic design shall be governed as per IRS Seismic Code2017.
3.1 Clearances
3.1.1 Clearance for Road Traffic
Page 7
As per relevant IRC, minimum 5.5m at 0.25m from pier shaft outer line.
Figure 3-1: Clearance for Road traffic
3.1.2 Clearance for Rolling Stock of Patna Metro

The clearances for rolling stock are as per approved schedule of dimensions (SOD) of Patna Metro.
Figure 3-2: Clearance for Road traffic
3.2 Design Life of Structures

The design life of all civil engineering structures shall be a minimum of
of 120 years. Elastomeric bearing and expansion
Page 8
joints will have a design life of 10 years while pot bearing (if adopted) will have a design life of 25years.
3.3 Choice of Structural Configuration

The structural configuration of the station building has three parts to it, namely superstructure, substructure and
foundations. Pre-tensioned U girder, one for each track is generally provided for station spans. Post tensioned cantilever
pier cap supports the superstructure on elastomeric bearings for the standard spans.
spans. The substructure consists of single
rectangular piers. Pile foundation system will be adopted based upon geotechnical investigation report. Minimum pile
diameter is 1000mm with minimum 6 piles for a particular pile foundation. Platform/concourse portion is supported on
extended pier arm. Portal pier with 3 Nos. of 1000mm diameter pile or open foundation for entry exit structure may be
provided.
3.4 Sub-soil Condition
The subsoil condition will be assessed with the bore logs received from detailed soil investigation. Detailed soil
investigation shall be conducted to ascertain the geotechnical parameters correctly to the detailed design of the
viaduct/Station Buildings. One borehole at every pier location with SPT conducted at every 1.5m intervals or change of
strata is envisaged in the detailed design stage. Lab tests shall be performed as per standard specifications.
The Ground water table (Base value) shall be considered as maximum (in terms of RL) of Ground water table data
published by (a) Central Ground water board (CGWB), (b) Ground water table reported in Geotechnical report provided
by DMRC in tender documents, (c) Ground water table reported in Geotechnical report provided by Design & Build
contractor.
The design Ground water table shall be taken as 4.0m higher than the Base value for evaluation of effects for design
purposes as per ODS.
Based on the subsoil condition safe load carrying capacity for piles will be calculated.
3.5 Construction Methodology

The method of construction of the station building is briefly described below:
3.5.1 Foundations
Page 9
Pile foundations or open foundation is adopted based on the geotechnical investigation. For pile foundation bored cast-in-
situ piles of 1200mm diameter are cast up to the required founding level. Pile cap is cast on the pile group, leaving dowel
bars for pier column. Pier locations where rocky stratum is available at a shallow depth, open foundation will be
suggested instead of pile, ensuring the feasibility of construction of open footing at site. Open foundation may be
suggested for columns supporting the entry and exit structural members of stations.
3.5.2 Substructure
Pier columns are cast from top of pile cap or open foundation up to bottom of pier cap. Subsequently, precast pier caps
are lifted and installed over the piers and stressed.
3.5.3 Bearings
Considering the span configuration and safety aspects of the structural system (in normal and seismic condition), it is
proposed to adopt elastomeric bearings placed underneath the U-girder / I-Girder for transfer of vertical forces and a
reaction block (protruding above the pier head) for transfer of in-plane forces. Elastomeric bearings shall be designed in
accordance with EN 1337 Part I and Part III. Design of POT-PTFE bearings shall be as per IRC: 83 Part-III. Clause
15.9.11.3 & 15.9.11.4 of IRS CBC should be followed for considering replacement of bearings.
3.5.4 Superstructure
The construction of superstructure as envisaged in the detailed design phase is briefly explained in the following steps.
 Pre-tensioned U-girders, Post-tensioned / PSC I-girders are cast at casting yard and transported to site.
 Pre-cast/pre-fabricated girders are to be transported to site and lifted and erected with cranes to place it over the
bearings (temporary/permanent) installed over the piercap.
 Form work for in-situ cross-beam/slab is erected and cast for station with post-tensioned I girders or composite spans.
Also, precast or participatory shuttering option instead of cast-in-situ slab may also be used if required.
The construction methodology for the stations will be finalized with the contractor and the same shall be presented in the
detailed design/drawings for the stations.

checked, in critical locations, using the concentrated loads listed in the above table for possible local internal forces
exceeding those produced by the normal
normal distributed loads e.g. cantilevers, punching shear in slabs and all other locations
sensitive to concentrated loads. The concentrated loads are to be applied in positions which produce maximum stresses
and where deflection is the main criteria, they should be placed in positions that produce maximum deflection.
Concentrated loads and uniformly distributed loads are taken into account independently.
Dispersal of concentrated loads is at a spread-to-depth ratio of 1 horizontally to 1 vertically through concrete and 0.75
horizontally to 1 vertically for other surfacing.
4.4 Live Loads

 Vertical Train Live Load
The live load for the design of viaduct portion will be with the following axle configuration.
Page 19
Configuration
L = 22100 (Length of a car) a =2250 (Overhang)
b = 2500 (Wheel base in a bogie)
c = 12600 (Distance between Axle-2 and Axle-3 in the car)
Maximum number of successive cars is 6.
Moving load analysis shall be carried out in order to estimate maximum longitudinal force, maximum shear and maximum
reaction.
Substructure will be checked for one track loaded condition as well as both tracks loaded condition (Single span as well
as both span loaded conditions). However, for any other configuration (Axle load and axle spacing) of modern Rolling
Stock including maintenance, machinery, crane etc., shall be within the loading envelope of present live load
configuration.
 Coefficient of Dynamic Impact

CDA will be considered as specified in clause 2.4.1.1 of IRS Bridge Rule. No reduction for double track loading will be
considered.
 Footpath Live load

Footpath live load is adopted as 490 kg/m2 as per clause 2.3.2 of IRS Bridge Rules. As footpath live load is to be
Page 20
considered with carriageway live load without impact, this load will not be critical for any design

ensured in service that no movement of trains will take place on both tracks when live load is there on the footpath.
 Braking& traction forces

Braking load is taken as 18% of the unfactored Axle load. Traction load is taken as 20% of the unfactored Axle load.
Since both the tracks are supported by a single girder, hence tractive force of one track and braking force of another track
will be taken in the same direction to produce worst condition of loading.
As per Clause-2.8.5 of IRS-Bridge Rules, in transverse / longitudinal seismic condition, only 50% of gross tractive
effort/braking force will be considered.
Dispersion, of longitudinal forces is not allowed as per Clause-2.8.3.4 of IRS Bridge Rules except during checking of Rail
stress.
As the track is ballast less track, the effect of horizontal and longitudinal forces in the rails shall be taken care in the
design of superstructure.
 Centrifugal Forces due to curvature of Superstructure

The horizontal centrifugal force due to moving load in curved superstructure is to be considered as per § 2.5 of IRS: BR.

Where W is Live load reaction & C is Centrifugal force (unit of C & W shall be same), v is maximum design speed in km/h
and R is radius of curvature in m. This force is assumed to act at a height of 1.830 m above rail top level on safer side.
Design Speed of Live load of 95 km/h will be considered for computation of centrifugal force for curvature up to 450m
radius. For sharper curves, speed restrictions as per SOD shall be followed.

standard spans. Pre / Post tensioned I girders with deck are provided for platform.
6.1.1 Pre-tensioned U-Girder

The standard design of pre-tensioned U-girder for various typical spans has been provided by DMRC and hence the design of superstructure
for these standard spans wherever adopted need not be performed as part of the scope of detailed design.

Page 35
U-girder superstructure.
6.2 Structural Design of Superstructure

Design of superstructure for the concrete spans is essentially divided into two heading namely longitudinal design and transverse design. The
design of the composite spans has been mentioned separately.
6.2.1 Longitudinal Design of Superstructure

The design procedure depends upon the method of construction. The following steps are involved in the longitudinal design of girder:
 Fixing of number of pretension strands

Number of strands for pre-tensioned U girder shall be assessed based on analysis results for all external loading on the simply supported
span. The necessary clear spacing between the cables will be as per IRS – CBC and the spacing between the anchorages will be according
to the supplier of pre-stressing system. Pretension strands are then modelled and span will be analysed for load combinations envisaged in
IRS:CBC
 Determination of Pre-stress loss

Losses due to slip, friction and elastic shortening effect are considered as immediate losses and the losses due to relaxation, creep and
shrinkage are considered as time dependent losses. Pre-stress losses are estimated as per IRS - CBC.
For calculation of long-term effects following IRS-CBC model, the following parameters are assumed:
Humidity ratio =70%
Shrinkage coefficient: Automatically and depending on type of concrete and humidityratio
Creep coefficient computed in FIP formulae and depending on stress on concrete at each stage of construction and service, time, modulus of
concrete, humidity ratio
 Determination of stresses during erection of girder

Stresses in the girder will be checked for during erection stage and during the construction stage also. The net stresses in the girder due to
Page 36
pre-stress and bending moment due to self- weight will be within the permissible stresses as given in IRS -CBC.
 Determination of stresses in service condition

Stresses in the girder will be checked for various load combinations as given in IRS - CBC.
6.2.2 Transverse Design of superstructure

Live load transverse analysis of deck slab will be carried out by effective width method for a unit strip. Deck slab will be designed as
continuous beam resting on the rigid supports (girders). Design Moments and shear are extracted and transverse design of deck will be
carried out as per IRS: CBC.
6.2.3 Design of Parapet

Parapet design shall be carried out as per IRS Bridge Rule clause 2.10 for horizontal and vertical load.
6.3 Structural Design of Substructure

The substructure shall be designed as per IRS CBC. Piers are subjected to bending and axial thrust due to various loads. To maximize the
transverse moments, single track loaded condition shall be considered.
Apart from the above, secondary forces due slenderness effect, temperature effect, deformation loads (creep and shrinkage) and support
settlement analysis will also be carried out.
Precast Post Tensioned Pier Cap shall be designed for stations. Loads considered for the Pier cap design shall be only the point load which
is acting on the bearing. Loads combinations shall be as per IRS: CBC. In pier cap design the stress in construction stages and serviceability
stages shall be checked.
6.4 Design of Foundations
6.4.1 Pile Foundation

The pile cap/piles system supported by horizontal and vertical soil spring reactions shall be idealized as a space frame. The forces applied by
the pier are transferred to the bottom of the pile cap for this purpose. Load combinations for piles/pile caps shall be as per IRS-CBC.
Page 37
1.2 m diameter bored cast-in-situ piles shall be considered for foundation of piers. Spacing between the
the piles shall be not less than 2.5 times
the diameter when founded on rock. Spacing between the piles shall be not less than 3 times the diameter when founded on Soil. However,
the respective geotechnical report corresponding to a particular pier location will govern the maximum pile centre to centre spacing. This may
be concluded only during detail design of the foundation.
The vertical capacity of the pile shall be based on static formula given in IS: 2911 (part-1/ section-2). The lateral load carrying capacity of pile
shall be evaluated as per IS: 2911 (part1/ section-2) by limiting the lateral deflection to 1% of pile diameter at its tip considering it as fixed
headed pile under normal conditions.
Initial load tests shall be conducted first to determine the safe vertical and lateral loads. The safe load shall be the least of load (a) arrived at
from the initial load test and (b) calculated safe load based on static formula. Initial load tests shall be conducted on the basis of IS- 2911 part
4. The working load on pile for vertical and horizontal loads shall be checked by conducting routine tests during construction.
Permissible increase in stresses for seismic load combinations shall be as per standards.
For the geotechnical pile capacity verification, only un-factored load combination will be considered for viaduct portion. This deflection
limitation shall not be applicable in load combinations with seismic combinations.
Computation of bending moment along the length of pile due to lateral forces acting at the pile cap level shall be calculated as per
methodology given in IS:2911 (PartI/Sec.2).
In seismic calculation, bottom of the pier is considered as fixed and further analysis and calculations are done as per IRS Seismic Code 2017.
The top of pile cap shall be kept about 500mm below the existing ground level and weight of the earth cover will be applied on top of pile cap
when unfavorable. The earth cover on pile cap for any favorable effect (stability, soil horizontal capacity) will be neglected.
The structural design of the pile and pile cap shall be as per IRS CBC.
6.4.2 Open Foundation

Pier locations where rocky strata are available at a shallow depth, open foundation will be suggested instead of pile, ensuring the feasibility of
construction of open footing at site. The top surface of the footing will be proposed to be sloped in both directions. The top of Footing shall be
kept minimum 500mm below the existing ground level. Footing design shall be as per IRS: Substructure and Foundationcode.
The factors of safety against overturning and sliding are in accordance with Cl. 6.8 of IRS Bridge Substructure and Foundation Code. Factor
of safety for the ultimate bearing capacity is in accordance with Cl. 6.5.3 of IRS Bridge Substructure and Foundation.
