MESSAGE The Institution of Engineers (India), IE(I), founded in 1920 and granted a Royal Charter by the British Crown in 1935 is internationally one of the largest multi-disciplinary bodies of engineers’ having a membership of over 646000 out of which Civil Engineers form the largest group of approx. 40%. It is mainly to give international exposure to our civil engineers that IE(I) has taken membership of the fib [fédération internationale du béton]. In the year 1986, IE(I) had organised a Congress of the FIP (Fédération Internationale de la Précontrainte) which was attended by about 2600 delegates. It was perhaps the biggest Congress in the history of the FIP.

During the 2nd fib Congress, at Naples, Italy in 2006, the President of IE(I) had invited fib to hold the fib-Congress in India in the year 2014. The Presidium of fib has been kind enough to realise the importance of holding the next congress in India (after the fib-Congress 2010 at Washington) in light of the accelerated developmental efforts in a country where the economy is growing at a pace of 8 to 9% annually, and concrete technology is contributing immensely in these efforts. India as a country is already the second largest consumer of cement.

I am confident that the national report which is being presented will showcase the developments which had taken place in last four years in India from 2006 to 2010 which is indicative of even greater development that will be coming up in next fours years before the next Congress in 2014.

I hope that our National Report will be of great interest to the international construction industry who are invited to join us in our efforts.

National Report on Concrete Structures in India 2006 - 10

FOREWORD I take the opportunity of the 3rd International fib Congress being held in Washington to present the National Report on Structural Concrete in India covering the period between successive fib Congresses 2006 and 2010. This period is very important to India from the point of view of the growth of basic infrastructure in the fields of Roads, Railways, Hydro-Electric, Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation, Ports and Urban Infrastructure apart from conventional applications to the Industrial and Housing sector. The morale of the Indian Construction Industry is very high at the moment and it is facing the future with confidence while entering into a new era of economic betterment. This is in spite of some difficulties faced by them due to the economic crisis which arose all over the world in 2008. Their enthusiasm is heartening and it reminds me of early years in India after winning its independence in 1947. The period 1950 to 1956 covered by the first five year plan of the Govt. of India was the beginning of planned development of infrastructure in the country. The Indian Construction Industry joined National efforts keeping high hopes and belief in the fruit of its efforts. The then Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, had called major infrastructure projects: ‘Temples of India’. Through subsequent successive five year plans, which outlined and guided the Master Plan of development, these efforts continued relentlessly till the present stage. Very soon, we will be completing the 11th five year plan and start with the 12th five year plan. Looking back to these 60 years, one can see the results of the enormous efforts put in by the Indian Engineer whose main tool of construction was structural concrete in all its manifestations like plain concrete, reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete and high performance concrete. We learnt new technologies like pre-stressed concrete from the developed countries and adopted them for our use. The process of sharing knowledge and know how is still continuing and it will continue into the future.

This national report covers the period mentioned above and seeks to inform the international community through a sample of large projects that we have completed during this period. The construction scenario is upbeat. We are already the second largest consumer of cement in the world, next only to China. The dynamic leadership of our current Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh - who is the architect of the opening of the Indian economy to the world, has resulted in a very large inflow of investments from abroad to the Indian economy and has also given opportunities to many international consultants and contractors to participate in our developments and obtain business for themselves. The Government of India have added their own funds and borrowing from the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.

The Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh promises the country, that in spite of the set back to the world economy, India will achieve a growth rate of 9% in GDP before the next financial year and this will be maintained. This promise of a non-political economist who got his Tripos at Cambridge and who is at the helm of affairs is the basis of our confidence in anticipating that many more structural concrete and other projects will come up in the near future, which is inevitable given the urgent need to upgrade the quality of life of our people and the economic prosperity of the country, which is expected to be a Developed Country by 2020.

The prediction of Mr Laxmi Mittal (of Indian Origin), who works and operates from London, the biggest Steel Industry in the World, is that the rate of growth of the GDP of India will rise to 10% as the present policy of Public Private Partnership takes a fuller participation in Building and operating Infrastructure Projects in India.

The fib has recognised the primary position of the Indian Construction Industry in the coming years and has awarded the fib-Congress 2014 to Mumbai, India. This decision, I hope will be formally announced at the end of the fib-Congress 2010 at Washington. The main highlight in the Indian construction scenario in the last 60 years is its striving for economy of use of materials and so minimising the cost of projects. European, American and other developed countries had also started with a similar approach of economising materials just after the conclusion of the Second World War in which period reconstruction of war affected infrastructure and national building activities to achieve higher standards of living called for a large number of projects to be taken up in a relatively short period of time. However, unlike in India, these countries had a shortage of labour, and they had resorted to minimising cost of the project by minimising the labour component and maximising the mechanisation of construction. After a gap of two or three decades, this trend is again voluntarily changing. There is serious discussion amongst engineers about the sustainability of construction as per the Developed country Model and optimising use of materials - looking at it from the angle of environmental impact of the overuse of natural resources. This is evident from the number of papers in many international conferences, highlighting this need. In India we had all along followed this policy of conserving materials, and only in the last few years have resorted to a higher degree of mechanisation in major projects, which have to be completed within a short period of time. In earlier years the typical construction period for medium to large sized projects was in the range of 3 to 5 years, which now is being targeted to be within 2 to 3 years. Our nuclear power projects have already achieved a record of sorts, by going on stream from, ground break-up to commissioning within five years, which favourably compares with international achievements. The relevance of these thoughts and the opportunities the country offers to the international construction industry will be clear on perusal of the National Report which is submitted in the subsequent pages.

The President of the Institution of Engineers and I take this opportunity to invite the International Community of Educational Institutions, Researchers, Consultants, Contractors and Investors to join us In our efforts for lifting the standard of living and quality of life of over 118 million people, which represents 18% of the world population. The Indian Population is expected to stabilize at 150 million people by the year 2050, while China would have already stabilized at 120 or 125 million people.

In the last century, the USA was the World’s largest economy and also had the World’s largest Construction Industry because it had 5 times the population of the larger Nations who now form the European Economic Community – essentially because of the USA’s greater Population size.

This is also why India is expected to become the World’s largest Economy towards the third quarter of this Century and its Construction Industry will then also become the largest in the World.

With best wishes and regards to all reading this report,

C.R. Alimchandani

A new record is set at RAPP-5&6 by constructing Raft of Unit-6 reactor building in 53 days from the first pour to its completion. This was possible by improved construction practices and use of latest technologies in construction. The improved design indeed helped in safe and speedy implementation of project. The Inner Containment (IC) is designed by NPCIL. The IC is made of prestressed concrete, stressed with 19K13 prestressing system, and is designed to withstand an internal pressure of 1.73kg/sq.cm, due to any unforeseen incidents occurring within the building. In addition, extreme environmental conditions, including Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) and extreme wind and hydrostatic uplift forces are considered as part of the design basis.

Construction of Reactor Building of Unit-6 (in progress), is seen in this picture, with concrete placer boom standing within the IC building. Major embedded parts for safety related piping, equipment are manufactured at an off-site shop and brought to site, and installed precisely at the earmarked locations before concreting.

The long span segmental cantilevered construction bridges over rivers and creeks were started in India way back in nineteen sixties, interestingly a bit earlier than in United States. After having achieved 165m central span by this method, presently 185m longest span girder bridge is designed and being executed in the sub-continent.

Mean while a concept of extra-dose bridge an evolution between girder and cable stay bridge introduced by Christian Menn and J.Mathivat in their typical but classical styles has been admirably exploited by Japanese up to the span of 250m.The authors improvised the concept further by staying the central span beyond the extra-dosed spans by cables from the same Pylon housing extra-dose cables in one of the recent competitive biddings. This is an extra-dose bridge partially supported by cable stays.

Pir Panjal Rail Tunnel project is part of the ambitious, 345-km-long Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link that will provide an alternative and reliable transportation system to Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) by joining the Kashmir Valley with the Indian Railways network. This railway line will strengthen available transport facilities to J&K and provide an all-weather means of transport in an area that is snowbound for a significant part of the year.

Post completion it would be the longest tunnel in India, around 11 Km long and 8.50 m in dia, passing through the most difficult terrains of Himalaya.

The tunnel design adopted for the construction is the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). For the excavation purpose, Roadheader has been engaged which is relatively new machinery to the Indian construction. Heavy support system along with regular monitoring of the tunnel deformation was implemented to achieve the job smoothly.

The interchange at Padi is at a location of present level crossing which is to be replaced by ROB. The junction is very close to the Railway Lines which does not allow ROB to come to the ground level properly. Also the road running parallel to railway at a close distance also needs to have an access in all directions. The solution was found by raising the interchange at high level and connecting the ROB at higher level and raising the three roads meeting at the junction also at high level.

This railway bridge constructed in 1896 carries 2 tracks Broad Gauge and falls on the arterial route between 2 important capitals of India – Delhi and Mumbai. The original bridge comprising of steel fish belly type plate girder resting on cast iron piles, was severely affected due to corrosion of the piles and scouring of the shallow foundations.

This bridge was to be re-built without suspending the traffic. The new foundations and substructure was constructed between the two existing piers. The superstructure comprising of PSC girders were precast and were launched in position during the traffic blocks. The original bridge was having 3 spans of 26 Meters each and was converted to 4 spans of 19.35 Meters each. Independent PSC girders were provided under each track. The abutments were replaced by RC boxes which were launched in position pushing through the embankment under the track. The handling of PSC girders was done by using cranes and hydraulic jacking system.

This is the longest River Bridge in India having a length of 5525 Meters. This bridge constructed in seventies has 2 carriageways resting on one common pier supported by well foundations. The piers are integral with the decking which is in pre-stressed concrete box girder with ‘T’ arms. Each ‘T’ arm is about 120 Meters. The cantilevers are connected at the tips by means of steel Central Hinge Bearings.

The stability of the bridge was affected due to sagging of cantilevers resulting in

damage to the Central Hinge Bearings. The box girder is constructed with precast segments. Apart from sagging of cantilevers, some joints were found to be open. It was established that loss of prestress was the main factor attributing to the distress in the bridge. To overcome this, external cables were provided to augment the prestress to the required level. After the prestressing work, the damaged bearings were then replaced. 46 spans have been strengthened in this manner.

Ambedkar Road is one of the three main corridors running North-South and serving both long distance commuter and local traffic. A series of long stretches along the road are being elevated to high level road to serve the fast moving commuter traffic and thus by flying over number of junctions with cross-roads, reduce the commuting time. From the elevated road at J.J. Hospital at southern end to Chunabhatty railway station at the northern end, is a series of 10 flyovers and elevated roads. The elevated road at Lalbaug is 2.0 km, the flyover at Dadar is 1.2 km. and that at King Circle is 1.2 km long. Adding these to the existing flyovers at other junctions this vital north-south link will have about 8.6 km. length at elevated level, which will contribute in a major way to ease north south through traffic on this vital artery of Mumbai’s traffic.

The Inderlok –Mundka corridor of Delhi MRTS is an elevated viaduct of length 5.225km with five elevated stations. There are as many as 148 spans of different lengths arranged all through the viaduct with the span length ranging from 16m to 37m. Also there is a 75m long continuous span placed over an existing railway track alongwith two side spans of length 62m.The superstructure system in the viaduct is of prescast prestressed type. The piers supporting the superstructures are either circular or elliptical and owning to the eccentricity of the centre line of alignment with the centre line of piers, the piers are categorized as concentric, cantilever and portal piers

The five elevated stations are located at Inderlok, Ashok Park, Punjabi Bagh East, Shivaji Park and Madipur. At each station there are two floor levels, namely the Concourse level and the Platform level. The spans placed side by side to the platforms are RC cast –in-situ whereas the ones placed on either sides of the RC cast-in-situ spans are Precast prestressed. The columns supporting the structure are circular, rectangular or half elliptical. The foundation adopted is pile foundation type and piles used are either of diameters 0.8m or 1.2m

The Qutub Minar – Gurgaon corridor of Delhi MRTS has an elevated viaduct of length 0.883km near Sultanpur Station for supporting multiple tracks of Broad Gauge Coridor. There are as many as 32 spans of different lengths arranged all through the viaduct with the span length ranging from 16m to 24m.

The superstructure system in the viaduct is of precast girder with cast in situ slab. The girders are supported on portals and piers depending upon the location and number of tracks. The piers of superstructures are either circular or elliptical and owing to the eccentricity of the centre line of alignment with the centre line of piers, the piers are categorized as concentric, cantilever and portal piers. The type of foundation adopted in viaduct portion is pile foundation with pile diameter fixed to 1.0m.

The long span segmental cantilevered construction bridges over rivers and creeks were started in India way back in nineteen sixties, interestingly a bit earlier than in United States. After having achieved 165m central span by this method, presently 185m longest span girder bridge is designed and being executed in the sub-continent.

Mean while a concept of extra-dose bridge an evolution between girder and cable stay bridge introduced by Christian Menn and J.Mathivat in their typical but classical styles has been admirably exploited by Japanese up to the span of 250m.The authors improvised the concept further by staying the central span beyond the extra-dosed spans by cables from the same Pylon housing extra-dose cables in one of the recent competitive biddings. This is an extra-dose bridge partially supported by cable stays.

In the Indian context, while 2nd Vivekananda bridge is a first extra-dose bridge, Pragati Maidan extra-dose bridge which was being built at the same time for Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is unique

India’s first extra-dosed bridge to be comissioned, has been built by Gammon India Limited between Pragati Maidan and Indraprastha towering over Indian Railways tracks. This bridge is 196.343 metres long and the main span over the railway lines is 93 metres. In addition, the bridge has a 302-metre radius curvature. Prior to this the first such rail over bridge was constructed in Japan..

The extradosed bridge is a variant/hybrid of the cabled-stayed bridge and the segmental pre-stressed concrete girder bridge, combining features of both. Similar in appearance to a cable-stayed bridge, but with shorter towers, the extradosed bridge’s structural performance is similar to that of a post-tensioned bridge.

A cable-stayed bridge usually has a deck that is sufficiently rigid to spread local loads and to prevent undue flexure and torsion, but the deck is unable to support itself without the cables.

The pre-stressed concrete bridge, by contrast, has no external supports apart from the piers, and the forces in it are controlled by tension in the tendons and compression in the concrete.

The TCS Techno Park IT Project, one of the large IT Parks, accommodates around 30,000 professionals and is located along East Coast of Chennai Suburban on a sprawling 70 acres of land. This facility with 465,000 sq.m. area faces the Bay of Bengal. Phase-1 of the project occupies 232,500 sq.m.

The highlight of the project is its efficient concrete structural system to support the complex Structural steel roofing. The butterfly shaped roof adorns the top of Engineering Buildings while a magnificent dragon shaped Central Spine covers the Podium standing erect between the two rows of General Service buildings.

The two structures - The Mini-spine - 6 nos and The Central spine play a significant role in the structural system.

The Mini-Spine resembles the body of a butterfly spreading its two wings on either side in north south of Engineering Buildings. It measures 15 m high at the mid span with overhang on both sides and rests neatly over two concrete core structures specially designed to withstand the mini-spine.

The Central spine stands on 16 pairs of heavy legs otherwise known as Portals with a length of 400m in east west direction and tails on both ends nearly touching the ground.
