    & BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION SITE AT KANKAWLI
    VISIT REPORT
    ON
    EARTHQUAKE STATION AT CHANDOLI DAM.

    1. Place of the visit: Earthquake Station at Chandoli Dam.

    2. Location: It is located at the outskirts of village of Chandoli,

    Dist: - Sangli.

    3. Date: - Tuesday, 05/04/2016

    4. Time: - 10:30 am

    5. Guidence- i) Prof. S. V. Waghmare, RIT, Rajaramnagar.

    ii) Prof. P. S. Patil, RIT, Rajaramnagar.

    The staff of earthquake station guided us very helpfully. We have seen and learnt lot of
    things regarding recording and measuring of earthquakes.

    These are listed as:-

    1) Seismogram
    2) Seismograph
    3) Seismometer
    The units observed under visit are as follows:-

    1. Seismogram: A real-time record of earthquake ground motion recorded by a


    seismograph. Seismograms are the records (paper copy or computer image) used to
    calculate the location and magnitude of an earthquake.

    2. Seismograph: An instrument that records vibrations of the Earth, especially


    earthquakes. Seismograph generally refers to the Seismometer and a recording
    device as a single unit.

    3. Seismometer: A sensitive instrument that can detect waves emitted by even the
    smallest earthquakes. The buried seismometer is the key instrument at a seismic
    station. It detects and measures Earths ground motion. These vibrations are similar
    to sound waves in air, but span a wide frequency range that extends well below the
    threshold for human hearing. The seismometers sensors are extremely sensitive
    and can pick up a broad spectrum of motions ranging from low-amplitude
    background vibrations, such as those generated by wind or pounding surf, to
    signals from local, regional, and distant earthquakes. The sensitivity of the station
    depends on how quiet the local conditions arethe lower the background noise
    from human and natural sources such as traffic and swaying trees, the more likely
    the station will be able to detect faint earthquake signals.
    The seismometer, which is a little larger than one-gallon paint can, contains
    delicate moving parts and sophisticated electronics, but operates on a very simple
    principle. The motion sensor consists of a weight hanging on a spring that is
    suspended from the frame of the seismometer. When an earthquake occurs, the
    suspended weight initially remains stationary while the frame moves with Earths
    surface. The relative motion between the weight and Earth provides a measure of
    the ground motion. Three sensors are combined in a single package to measure
    ground motion in three dimensions.

    Bridge Construction:-

    Site details:-

    The site is near to Kankavali, Tal.:- Kankavali, Dist:- Kolhapur, Maharashtra. The
    bridge constructed on Janavali River. The bridge is being constructed for widening of 2
    lanes to 4 lanes on the Mumbai Goa National Highway number 17.

    Photo 10 & 11: The construction type of this bridge is cast in-site type.

    Cast-in-situ Method of Bridge Construction:

    Cast-in-situ method of construction of bridges is a flexible method in which the demands


    of more unusual geometrical shapes can be easily coped with. This method is commonly
    used for short span bridges for the cost effective construction of solid, voided or ribbed
    reinforced concrete slab bridges. Each bridge type is built by designing the decks to allow
    each span to be cast in one continuous pour. Construction is simplicity in form consisting
    of a birdcage scaffold with plywood formwork.

    Where cast-in-situ construction is used for longer span bridges, the false work
    system required becomes more sophisticated. Semi or fully mechanical false work will
    require a specialized contractor. Semi-mechanical false work will generally consists of
    steel beams or trusses which are then spanned between temporary towers. Fully
    mechanical false work system is where a self-launching gantry with steel lined shutters is
    used.

    This method of bridge construction method has been divided into three parts
    including cast in-situ post tensioned, balanced cantilever and incrementally launched.
    Post tensioning is a technique in which it pre-loads the concrete that can reduce tensile
    stresses including dead or live loads. In this method strength concrete as well as high
    strength materials such as wires, bars and steel strands should be used. After concrete
    hardening, the strands which have been passed through the concrete, have been pulled by
    a special jack and after receiving pre-determined force, the strands would be locked. This
    method has several advantages namely reducing direct cost, reducing the required
    material, labor cost, rebar, and transportation costs and increasing the speed of formwork.
    The second and third advantages of this method are increasing construction efficiency
    and better structure performance. Balanced cantilever method is the second part of the
    cast in-situ classification which has been considered a most effective method for bridge
    construction. The most advantage of using this method especially in urban areas refers to
    its characteristic that it does not need any temporary shoring and it can disrupt traffics
    over water channels and in deep gorges which is very dangerous for construction
    workers. Additionally it can be used for irregular and long span lengths with few
    repetitions. Normally the length of each segment in this method should be considered
    between 3-6 meters. This method usually starts by piers construction followed by
    building both segments simultaneously that would be continued at both sides of piers and
    10
    each segment would be tied to previous segment by post-tensioning tendons.
    Incrementally launched method has been recognized as the third category of cast in-situ
    bridge construction which has been considered as a highly mechanized erection method.
    This method has been considered as an effective method for bridge construction when the
    site meets its particular alignments requirements. In this method, different units of the
    bridge with dimensions of 15 to 30 meters have been prefabricated in the factory and it
    doesnt need any scaffolding that can be launched horizontally and enhances the bridge
    by sliding it on Teflon bearing. The most advantage of this method is that, it does not
    need heavy erection equipment like cranes and it does not need to use epoxy at the
    segment joint. The most important thing is that alignment should be straight or the curve
    should be constant that both of them should be considered by the designer.
