 DIFFERENT PARTS OF STRUCTURE:
1. FOUNDATION-The SBC (Soil Bearing Capacity) of the soil at the site
was 40 tonnes per meter square and for design consideration it was
taken as 20 tonnes per meter square. There were 38 columns and
each column was provided with individual trapezoidal footing with
maximum depth of 3 metres.

 2 SUPERSTRUCTURE-
1. Columns- Out of 38 circular columns of height 21 metres, 1
column of diameter 300mm was provided for supporting the circular
staircase blocks and the rest 37 columns supported the overhead
tank. There were 21 columns of 500mm diameter and 16 columns of
400mm diameter.

2. Braces/Tie Beams- The columns were fixed in position with the

help of 62 rectangular braces/beams provided at every 4.05 metres
at intermediate levels, 4.225 metres at the first level and 4.625
metres at lower tank level. The braces were 750mm in height and
300mm in width.
3. Base Slab-The base slab provided for the tank was 250mm thick with
steel reinforcement of various torque steel bars of 10mm and 16mm
diameter.
4. Container Walls- The container wall for the tank was 5.3 metre long
and 210 mm thick with steel reinforcement of 10mm and 8mm diameter
torque steel bars.
5. Roof Slab- The roof slab of the tank was 120mm thick with a provision
for Manhole as well as Shaft Ventilator. The roof slab was reinforced with
8mm diameter torque steel bars .

1.SALIENT FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURE:
 Dry Lean Concrete grade- M10
 Pavement Quality Concrete grade- M45,
250mm thick.
 Footpath tiles- 200mmx200mmx100mm
 Kerb stone base- M10
 Operation and maintenance period of 30
years
 Separation Membrane of 250 micron
thickness
 MILLING OF ROAD :- Milling is done to a thickness of 100mm with a
Milling machine.
 LAYING OF DRY LEAN CONCRETE:-DLC is laid to provide firm base
to support traffic over PQC pavement. It is then compacted with roller.
The DLC of M10 grade was provided with a thickness of 100mm
(permissible thickness-75 to 125mm). Camber provided was 2.5% of
road width.
 LAYING OF PAVEMENT QUALITY CONCRETE:-
 Before laying PQC, a 250micron thick separation
membrane was laid on dry lean concrete(M IO). The
PQC of grade M45 was laid provided with dowel bar
sheets which was laid at each 3m distance. The
dowel bars used consists of 32/25mm diameter and
600mm long which had 300mm c/c spacing.
 The purpose of dowel bar is to transfer panel to
panel loads.
 Tie bars of 12mm diameter and 600mm long was
provided to tie the bays from both side.
 COMPACTION AND FINISHING :-I
 The concrete was then compacted with needle vibrator of
60mm diameter.
 Slump test was carried out for RMC truck. It was found to be
35mm. The desired slump is between 40-60mm which is
permissible. For slip form paver machine, the slump should be
25 and for fixed form paver the slump required at site was
50mm.
 After the concrete is placed, the road surface was again
compacted and smoothened or finished with the help of screed
vibrator.
 The road is finished with floater and pole finisher.
 After sometime, the texture is then given on smooth surface in order
to reduce friction with the help of saw tooth brush.
 SLIP FORM PAVER:-
 A slip form paver is a piece of construction
equipment used to lay concrete on roads. It lays the
concrete flat and also provides compaction, the one
used at site had a capacity to make a road of 10m
width at once, but due to space contraints only 5m
width was possible and the rest 2m was madey
manually. Large freeways are often paved with
concrete and is done using slip form paver. RMC
trucks dump loads of readymix concrete in heaps
along in front of this machine and then the slip form
paver spreads the concrete out and levels it off.
 It uses low slump so that the PQC should hold shape
once the slip form paver has passed.
 The paver usually performs screeding,consolidation
and initial finishing.

Location: Beside Oriental Plant, Outer Umred Road, Nagpur+

Salient Features of structure:

•Specifically batched for customers’ construction project.
•Ready mix concrete is manufactured under controlled conditions.
•In-transit mixers are used.
Activities at site:
•Study of RMC plant
•Operation of RMC plant
•Compression testing of cubes and beams
Structure of RMC Plant
Ready-mix concrete refers to concrete that is specifically batched or
manufactured for customers' construction projects. It is a mixture of
Portland cement, water and aggregates: sand, gravel, or crushed
stone. All aggregates should be of a washed type material with
limited amounts of fines or dirt and clay. Ready-mix concrete is
bought and sold by volume - usually expressed in cubic meters.
Batch plants combine a precise amount of rock, sand, water and
cement together by weight, allowing specialty concrete mixtures to
be developed and implemented on construction sites. It has an
average life span of 30 years under high traffic areas.
•It has a weigh batcher which takes cement, water and aggregates by
weight.
•The plant has a capacity of 60m3 with filling time of 20min.
•0.9kg of fibre is added in 1m3 of concrete.
Ready-mix concrete is batched or manufactured under controlled
conditions. It can be transported and placed at site using a number of
methods.

Automatic control software is designed for specific plant.
Required ratio of cement, water, aggregates is inserted in
the program and machine operates on the given
commands.
Daily data for the given concrete mix is corrected
according to site condition and according to weather
condition. According to that aggregate and water
proportion is decided.
