1.0 G E N E R A L F E A T U R E S O F T H E P R O J E C T

1.1 I N T R O D U C T I O N
The National Highway Division Kesinga (P.W.D., Government of Odisha) as part of their leading efforts in roads
infrastructure, has identified the very important stretch of the NH-26 from Km 130/280 to 142/620 & Km.
159/280 to 175/880 including Geometric Improvment.

The project is decided to get execute with the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract by the

authority. The ARCONS-D.D.B. (JV) has been successfully excelling in execution of related project works. After

winning through competitive bidding process, the work is awarded to ARCONS-D.D.B. (JV), Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

1.2. T H E P R O J E C T C O R R I D O R
This section of the report presents the various details of components of the project based on the preliminary
information gathered for the project corridor. The National Highway-26 connects Baragarh – Bolangir –
Bhawanipatna –Nabarangpur – Borigumma – Jeypore – Koraput - Sunki. The two/intermediate lane stretches of
project road is from 130.280 km to 142.620 km(i.e 12.34 km long) and 159.280 km to 175.880 km (i.e16.6 km
long) are considered in scope for widening and strengthening.

1.3. C A R R I A G E W A Y
The existing carriageway width of road is 3.5 m in section 130/280 to 132/080 km and 5.5 m between 132/080 to
142/620 km. Moreover, 7 m wide existing road is present from 159/280 to 175/880 km . All three stretches are
excluding width of unpaved shoulder which is 1.0 to 2.5 m. The proposed carriage way width is 7m excluding 1.5
m paved shoulder and 1.0 m earthen shoulder on both side.

1.4. T E R R A I N

Terrain of entire project stretch is plain in nature. At very few location, road is passing near to adjoining hills and
valley.

2.0 P A V E M E N T C O N D I T I O N S U R V E Y
Existing pavement condition is the most important data which governs the improvement strategy of the project.
The basic of survey was visually observed existing distresses and with the measurement whenever required.
Performance of recently construsted adjoining stretches were also surveyed for better idea about traffic and
climatic impact on highway.

2.1 V I S U A L L Y O B S E R V E D D I S T R E S S E S
Both the sections of NH - 26 from 130/280 to 142/620 Km. and 159/280 to 175/880 Km. are carefully studied to
analyse serviceability of existing pavement structure. It will also provide powerful tool to the design engineer for
development of widening, strengthening and reconstruction scheme for proposed development of project highway

The methodology adopted for Benkelman beam deflection test is in such a way that existing pavement structure
will not be affected. For deflection measurements, each road section was marked at every 50 m interval in the
outer wheel path (In the transverse direction, points should be as per type of lane from the pavement edge. If
Road width is < 3.5 m then Points should be mark at 0.6 m, when Road width is > 3.5 m then 0.9 m and when Road
is divided four lane then 1.5 m from pavement edge) in alternate roadside. For loading the pavement the static
load was applied through the standard truck having a rear axle weighing 8170 kg with a tire pressure of 5.6 kg
/cm2. Then probe was placed in-between the dual tires of rear axle on the outer wheel path and dial gauge
adjusted to zero. Instruments levelled through bubble scale. Now when the static load by truck is moved away, on
dial gauge pavement surface rebound was measured.

Deflections measured by Benkelman beam are influenced by the pavement temperature. The pavement

temperature was measured by making a hole of about 45 mm deep & 10 mm in diameter and filled with glycerol

and temperature can be then be recorded after about 5 min. with suitable short-stem mercury thermometer. For

design purpose correction for temperature variation is taken into consideration as per IRC-81-1997.

Deflections measured by Benkelman beam are also influenced by climate condition of the year. The seasonal
variation depends upon the type of sub-grade soil, it’s field moisture content and avg. rainfall of that area. For this
purpose, soil sample are colleted from the pavement edge side up to certain depth of sub-grade soil. For the design
purpose correction for seasonal variation is also taken into consideration. Further more, traffic in terms of ‘MSA’ is
considered for the overlay design.

The Strengthening works of the existing project corridor shall be followed by the IRC:SP:73. The designing, planning as well
as the construction will not be given any chance in relieving anywhere from the stringent guidelines and specifications. The
design philosophy as well as the innovative solutions is proposed keeping the interest of the project corridor afte various
alternatives and strategies it will be decided in consultation with the authority; our respectable client.

Pavement condition survey has been carried out for entire project stretch. From Km 159/280 to 176/620 Overall project
stretch is in good condition except few locations, distress were observed such as Ravelling of aggregates, localised potholes
etc. but no rutting is found on wheel path hence it will not required to rectify any patches by full depth / half depth repair
and can be effectively strengthened in view of IRC: 81. Moreover, from Ch. 130/280 to 135/00 Km road condition will not
allow to test as per IRC:81. Hence, evaluation of structural strength for remaining stretches of existing road was started
from Ch. 135/000 to 142/620 Km where bituminous top is in good condition.

Agreement defines standards and specifications to be followed in the development of the project corridor. The same will be
stringently complying throughout the development of the project corridor. IRC: SP: 73-2007 Manual of Specifications and
other Standards has been thoroughly reviewed and followed in preparing engineering designs for the project corridor. The
related Indian Standard Guidelines for various aspects of pavement designs have been set for the proposal. IRC: 81-1997
have been firmly followed in evaluation of the strengthening requirements of the project corridor. All related IRC, MORT&H
guidelines and specification are followed during the different stages in design and construction of the project corridor.

C. P A V E M E N T D E S I G N P H I L O S O P H Y

The pavement design has been comprehensively prepared looking at the design life, standards and specification of the
project corridor. Mainly, the project highway is evaluated in terms of strength and other structural & functional
parameters.

Performance of the flexible pavements is closely related to the elastic deflection of pavement under the wheel loads. The
deflection of the pavement indicates a part of the performance measures of the pavement.

The deflection measurements were conducted at every 50 m staggered interval on both sides of the carriageway. Due care
was taken in conducting the Benkelman Beam Deflection (BBD) Survey. The survey was conducted following the
procedures as set forth in the IRC: 81-1997.

Temperature and seasonal correction factors were determined for the deflection measurement taken at regular interval on
the project corridor. The corrected deflection measurement was then adopted for further confident evaluation following
statistical calculations. The mean deflection measurements were then derived for each 500 m section of the project
highway. The results are attached here after analysis in table 4.2.

D. O B J E C T I V E

The objective is to determine the optimum crust thickness for Overlay design [Strengthening] under given design moving
wheel load [Axle load] without occurring any distress as per IS : 2720, IRC : 37 - 2012, IRC : 81 - 1997 & MORT & H
Specification.

Soil sample are collected along the Project stretch of " Widening & Strengthening of NH - 26 to 2 - Lane With Paved Shoulder
from Km 130/280 to 142/620 and from Km 159/280 to 175/880" at every 1.0 Km distance at required depth, to determine
the below listed subgrade soil parameters. Test results of the same have been given in chapter-2, Table 2.2 of this report.

1 Atterberg's Limits IS:- 2720 [Part - 5]


2 Grain Size Analysis IS:- 2720 [Part - 4]
3 F.M.C IS:- 2720 [Part - 2 & 8]
The main aim of investigation and testing is to evaluate the deflection of existing flexible pavement under specified load.
The other parameters are also taken into consideration for overlay design such as pavement temperature, field moisture
content, type of sub-grade soil and their influence on pavement deflection & service behaviour, average intensity of rainfall
in that particular area, traffic intensity in terms of cvpd (commercial vehicle per day) on particular stretch.

To fulfil the above objective, Benkelman beam deflection test is conducted on existing pavement and then recorded data are
analyzed and on that basis the overlay design for flexible pavement is finalized.

There is significant difference between the CBR values of existing sub grade soil along the alignment. Here it is considered
that borrow material to be use for all the five stretches will have minimum CBR equal to 90th percentile of existing
subgrade CBR. Hence, the recommended design C.B.R. based on 90th percentile of CBR values of existing subgrade soil are

The designed flexible pavement composition using above subgrade strength are given in Table 4.10. The actual tensile strains were
calculated using the various pavement design parameters as inputs in the IITPAVE program. The actual strains are computed using

various trial pavement structural layer combinations. The tyre pressure used in the analysis is 0.56 Mpa. Standard axle used in dual

type, having a mass of 8160 Kg. This resulted in a single tyre load of 20012 N. The Poisson's ratio of bituminous layer and sub-grade

layers is taken as 0.35 . Resilient modulus/ Elastic modulus for Bituminous layers as 3000 MPa for VG-40 and 1700 MPa for VG-30.

The calculated strains are presented in Annexure I. Looking to pavement strengthening requirements of existing pavement and

design of widening portion , 40mm Bituminous concrete shall be extended on full width i.e. in widening & strengthening portion

From structural considerations, the recommended thicknesses for overlay, reconstruction and widening in form of Granular Sub

base, Wet Mix Macadam and Bituminous layers is mentioned below :
