TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

1. Design Standards

The proposed alignment of expressway passes through mainly plain terrain. Considering the physical
condition and cost effectiveness, the proposals are conceived and developed within the purview of the
guidelines given below.
i) The desirable standards are preferably adopted
ii) The minimum standards, are adopted for difficult sections where application of the desirable standards,
would lead to exorbitant costs and resources.
Accordingly, design standards for geometric elements have been proposed under "desirable" and
"minimum" categories. These proposed standards are consistent with and falls within the parameters
recommended in the related standards of the Indian Roads congress and Ministry.
The key document for planning and design is IRC SP:99 “Manual for Specifications and Standards for
Expressways ” published by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Priority of Standards is as follows:
• Manual for Specifications and Standards for Expressways IRC:SP:99-2013
• Guidelines for Expressways Part – I and Part – II of MoRTH published by IRC in April 2010
• Relevant IRC codes / standards / manuals.
• Circulars of MoRTH
• Relevant IS Codes
• Others
Wherever there was interface with existing roads/ highways; surveys and investigations were conducted
accordingly.
UPEIDA has also provided guidelines to be adopted on this project. These are followed. Changes, if any,
have been discussed and incorporated in consultation with UPEIDA.

2. Traffic Analysis

The data (primary and secondary) collected has been analyzed to obtain information on ADT, Seasonal
Variation, AADT, traffic composition, travel pattern and commodity movement pattern, Traffic Demand
Forecasting. This information along with appreciation of other relevant parameters formed part of the basic
input for the design and evaluation of the recommended improvement. These are discussed in the
following paragraphs.

2.1 Annual Average Daily Traffic

The AADT has been estimated by applying the seasonal correction factor to the observed ADT from primary
surveys. Table 1&2 presents the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) at the four homogenous sections.

Volume-III

2.2 Traffic Projection

Based on the reconnaissance survey, traffic characteristics and interchange spacing; project can be divided
in to eight homogeneous sections.
The total traffic forecast for the horizon years is estimated from the base year traffic and estimated growth
rates.

2.3 Capacity Analysis

IRC-SP:87 - 2013 stipulates a design service volume of 120,000 PCU per day for a six lane with paved
shoulder divided carriageway at level of service B in plain terrain.
Capacity analysis is fundamental to the planning, design and operation of National Highways and provides
the basis for determining the carriageway width to be provided at any point of time with respect to the
volume and composition of traffic. Moreover it is an important tool for evaluation of the investments
needed for future construction and improvements and for working out priorities of road projects.
IRC-SP: 99 - 2013 stipulates a design service volume for the expressway (LOS-B) shall be
1300PCUs/Hour/Lane. Level of Service and Capacity analysis has been carried for all the Homogeneous
Traffic Sections (HTS) in line with IRC guide lines. Section wise capacity augmentation is indicated through a
colour coding scheme. The details are presented in Table 3.

5. Pavement Design

5.1 Evaluation of Design Traffic (MSA) for Pavement Design

Base year traffic (vehicle category-wise in terms of AADT), traffic growth rates, design life (in terms of
number of years) and vehicle damage factors(VDF) are required design parameters to estimate the design
traffic in terms of equivalent standard axles. The following data have been considered to arrive at the
design traffic (MSA).
(a) Base year – 2018
(b) Traffic opening year – 2019 (assumed)
(c) Design Life – 20 years
(d) Traffic growth rates adopted from project traffic studies conducted
(e) Vehicle damage factor(VDF)

For flexible pavements, the percentage of vehicles in heaviest loaded lane can be determined as per IRC:
37-2012 and IRC: 81-1997 guidelines given below:

With the base year traffic in terms of commercial vehicles per day (CVPD), annual growth rate of each of
commercial vehicle over the design period, design traffic in terms of MSA over the design life can be
estimated using the following formula.

Where,
N = Cumulative number of standard axles to be catered
A = Initial number commercial vehicles per day in the year when the road is operational

Bundelkhand Expressway : Bidding Document (EPC) 19

Volume-III

r = Annual rate of growth of commercial traffic

n = Design period in years
D = Lane distribution factor, given below
F = Vehicle Damage Factor

5.2 Design of Flexible Pavement

5.2.1 IRC: 37 – 2012, Tentative Guidelines for the Design of Flexible Pavements
The pavement designs given in this guide are based on the results of pavement research work done in India
and experience gained over the years on the performance of the designs given therein. Flexible pavement
has been modelled as a three-layer structure with stresses and strains at critical locations computed using
the linear elastic model FPAVE developed under the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways Research
Scheme, R – 56 and further updated it with IITPAVE recently.
The pavement designs are given for sub-grade CBR values ranging from 2 per cent to 15% for different
pavement type options like Cement Treated base and Sub base, use of RAP in asphalt layer with foamed
bitumen or emulsion. The pavement compositions given in the design catalogue are relevant to Indian
conditions, materials and specifications. Where changes to layer thickness and specification are considered
desirable from practical considerations, the guidelines recommend modifications using an analytical
approach. Hence, the design has been carried out based on the procedure given in IRC: 37-2012.

5.2.2 Design of Pavement Structure as per IRC: 37-2012

With the design traffic loading in MSA and the sub grade strength in terms of CBR, the pavement
composition worked out by IRC catalogue design procedure to account for entire design period. The
thickness of sub grade is 500mm with selected Borrow area soils after Stabilization of local soils they yield
CBR value of 6.0%- 7.3% is considered for various sections while arriving overall thickness of the
pavement.
Drainage Layer – Considering the requirements if drainage, as per the provisions of IRC: SP: 42, the GSB
layer for full thickness shall be extended till the embankment slope on both sides of the pavement
carriageway.
Ramp/ Loop/ Slip Roads – These will have same pavment strucuture as of main carriageway where these
are falling.

5.3 Design of Rigid Pavement proposed (Toll Plaza Locations)

5.3.1 Design of Subgrade and Ggranular Sub base

500 mm sub-grade of design CBR of 7% and 150 mm Granular Sub base as drainage layer of minimum 30%
CBR shall be provided.

5.3.2 Design of DLC Sub base

Dry lean concrete of 150 mm thickness shall be provided as sub-base for better load distribution, and
better support for concrete Paver. DLC having a 7 day average compressive strength of 7 MPa determined

Volume-III

as per IRC: SP: 49 over GSB is proposed. DLC will extend beyond the PQC (including that in shoulder, if any)
by 0.75 m on either side.

5.3.3 Rigid Pavement Design

The pavement structural design of rigid pavement for a design period of 30 years has been carried out as
per IRC 58-2015. The design is based on cumulative fatigue damage analysis under expected combination
of load stresses & thermal stresses as per IRC: 58-2015. The summary of the rigid pavement is as below.
PQC– 280 mm (M-40)
DLC– 150 mm (M-10)
Upper GSB– 100 mm
Lower GSB– 150 mm
Sub-grade– 500mm (CBR 7 %)
Dowel Bars– Plain 38 mm Dia. @ 300 mm c/c, 500 mm long
Tie Bars – Deformed 12 mm Dia. @ 590 mm c/c, 640 mm
