ABSTRACT
The project entitled analysis and design and execution of
cross traffic works in railways using box pushing
technique (RUB), illustrates about the work to be carried
out for the widening of existing roads using box pushing
techniques for rail under bridges. It also explains about
the methodology involved in execution of box pushing
technique. The design will be carned out as per Indian
standards, particularly Indian railways standards, IRC,
IRS, and IS CODES. In which the design of major
components thrust bed, precast box used for the widening
are done as per IRS codes. The design of pre cast box is
done using STAAD pro, it also includes the layout of
reinforcement details of two important structures used in
this method apart from conventional method 1.e., thrust
bed (main bed and auxiliary bed),pre cast box.

inspected by railway officials before and after monsoon.
If any bridge is in distressed condition either it will be
rehabilitated or rebuild depending on the conditions. If
any roadway and railway are crossing there will be a level
crossing(LC) whether manned or unmanned, Road Over
Bridge (ROB), Road Under Bridge (RUB) which can be
normal height or limited height Subway., depending on
the relative level.
SALIENT FEATURES
➢ One vent of 7.50 x 5.65m in side size and wall
thickness of 0.750m (outer size 9.00m x 7.15m.)
➢ Each Segment weighs 1100 metric tons and uses
60t of steel and 440 cum of concrete.
➢ The box is crossing 5 existing running lines and 5
future non running lines.
➢ Length of the vent is 69.36m long (43.00m length
pre cast by pushing technique and 26.36m length
by cast in situ)
➢ RCC Box with M-30 Grade concrete.
➢ Thrust bed of size 11.250x10.200m with M-25
grade concrete provided with 67 pin packets for
pushing.
➢ E Front cutting shield with 25mm thick M.S. plate
& 1.00m projection.
➢ E Rear shield with 12mm thick plate all round.
6
➢ E Drag sheets are provided in 3 layers with 0.60
mm thick each.
➢ Pushing of segments is done with hydraulic jacks of
183t capacity.
7
➢ A 20mm thick plate is provided, butting against
bottom slab of box, in front of the Jacks to avoid
damage to concrete surface.
➢ Nail anchor plates are removed and earth is manually
excavated in front of cutting edge in a way to get
annular clear space of 300mm all-round.
➢ Anchor plates are refixed in position and uniform
pressure is applied to the jacks through Power Pack.
➢ After complete push (maximum 300mm) jacks are
released, protruding nails are gas cut/driven and jacks
again packed with packing plates and spacers.
➢ Process Is repeated till front box is pushed to required
position.
➢ Then 2nd box segment is slewed and brought in
position behind Ist box segment
➢ 8 nos. Jacks, each of 200 Tons capacity, are housed
between two box segments in addition to 8 nos. Jacks
already provided between thrust bed and 2nd box
segment.
➢ 3nos. Jacks, each of 100 Tons capacity, are provided
in 3 slots made in each side walls to facilitate
correction of line and level of box during pushing.
➢ Earthwork is now done in front of Ist box segment
and it is pushed. Protruding nails are gas cut/driven
and anchor plates are refixed in position.
8
➢ Thereafter, jacks housed between two box segments
are released and then 2nd box segment is pushed.
➢ Process is repeated till both the box segments are
pushed to required position.
➢ Cutting Edge is dismantled & front face of Ist box
segment is cast in plumb.

BOX CASTING AND PUSHING

Fig:4 front shield
After the first box has reached the final position, the
second box will be pushed in such a way that a gap of
approximately 100mm remains between the units.
Cleaning the gap will be done and concrete edges will be
roughened, reinforcement will be placed in gap and
concreted, if required grouting will be done to make the
joint water tight. Suitable admixtures will be used in the
concrete used for filling the joint to make them water
tight.

same will help the executive for speedy and safe
completion of the work.
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
15
➢ There is a no scope for night working.
➢ In hard strata is very difficult to construct the
road under bridge.
➢ When the lateral and vertical alignment of box is
getting disturb then it is difficult to correct it.
CONCLUSION
16
➢ Better quality control due to the provision of
precast boxes.
➢ Quantities will be less as compared to the
conventional method of construction.
➢ The cost of construction is less as compared
with the conventional method.
