1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following design brief describes the design guidelines, criteria and standards to be used in the detailed design of the roads, culverts and bridges on the approaches of the Chenani Nashri Tunnel. The Chenani - Nashri Tunnel is proposed to cross the Patnitop range in approx. station km 89 to km 130 in the section between Udhampur Banihal section of the existing NH-1A in the state of Jammu& Kashmir.
In CA document, both bridges are proposed to be right/straight span. However, proposed road alignment and the stream cross in skew angle of around 40 deg at both the proposed bridge locations. In that case right/straight bridges are not appropriate. Hence it is proposed both bridges to be skew so that alignment of the abutments is kept parallel to the nallah. In soft ground conditions, RCC box type consisting of longitudinal and transverse walls filled with granular materials shall be adopted as per CA document. The abutment shall be founded on rock. Where the abutments are in rock, a conventional abutment shall be adopted. As per Appendix B VIII of Schedule-B of Concession Agreement (CA) document, details of the proposed culverts in the approach roads shall be as follows: Type of Culvert Conc. Box Conc. Conc. Conc. Conc. Conc. Conc. Box Box Box Box Box Box No. of cell Single Single Single Single Single Single Single Width (m) 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 3.0 Height (m) 3.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 3.0

Substructure
A comparative study will be undertaken to select the most suitable options. For culvert structures, RCC single cell box type shall be proposed resting on raft foundation. 2.2 CODES & REFERENCES The design of various components of the bridge will follow provisions of IRC/IS Codes listed below. Wherever IRC code is silent, reference shall be made to other Indian/International codes and standards such as British Standard Institute (BSI), AASHTO etc and the priority of use shall be in the same order as mentioned above.

2.3 LOADING
According to IRC: 6-2000 the load types to be considered acting on the bridge are the following:
07-02-2011
Page 6 of 26
2.3.9 Gradient
Bridges shall be proposed on the same gradient as the adjacent road. If bridges are provided at the change of grade, the profile of the vertical curve may be accommodated by changing the thickness of the wearing coat. If the thickness of wearing coat comes more than limiting thickness, the gradient shall be accommodated in varying deck slab thickness but keeping surface of the bearing under bridge horizontal.
2.4.3 Section Properties The effective flange width calculation for determination of sectional properties for the longitudinal girders and cross diaphragm shall be done in accordance with IRC: 21 -2000. The longitudinal T-Girder members shall have negligible torsion carrying capacity (i.e. very small torsional moment of inertia shall be assigned for the members). 2.4.4 Method of Analysis for deck slab The deck slab shall be designed as a continuous one-way slab supported on the longitudinal girders with cantilever overhang beyond the girders. Live load effects shall be taken based on effective width method. 2.4.5 Substructure & Foundations Abutment foundations shall be open /raft type resting on rocks under RCC box or conventional type substructure. Abutments shall be filled with granular fill material as per specification given in Appendix-6 of IRC: 78- 2000. 2.4.6 Pre-stressing Effect Basic design assumptions relating to Pre-stressing:
It is proposed to use 19T15 cables conforming to Class 2 of IS14268 (low relaxation strands) with corrugated HDPE sheathing for pre-stressing. Values of friction and wobble coefficient (u and k) for pre-stressing strands shall be considered as u = 0.17 and k = 0.002. Relaxation losses shall be computed considering relaxation loss of 2.5% at 0.7 UTS and 0% at 0.5 UTS for intermediate values, linear interpolation shall be done. Ultimate resistance of the T-Girder/Box-Girder in flexure shall be checked against yielding of steel and against crushing of concrete as per Cl-12 of IRC: 18. Maximum jack pressure shall be considered as 75% of ultimate force. For calculation of maximum shear stress as Cl.14.15 of IRC-18, Depth db shall be taken as 0.8d or deff which ever is greater. Section cracked or uncracked in flexure shall be decided on the basis of whether the maximum ultimate capacity in shear is governed by cracked or uncracked capacity. Where uncracked capacity governs the relief due to pre-stressed force shall be added to the shear capacity of the section obtained based on CL. 14.15 of IRC: 18. The stresses shall also be checked for 20% higher time dependent losses like creep shrinkage, relaxation etc. as per Cl. 7.2.4 of IRC: 18. Duct diameter (Internal) shall be considered as 110mm. Clear cover protecting Cable from the nearest concrete surface shall be kept as 75mm as per IRC: 182000.

The traffic data available in DPR document prepared by LBG on behalf of NHAI is as follows: The projected commercial traffic figures for (base year 2004) are 3285 commercial vehicles per day in each direction. These figures at the end of the 15 year design life in 2024, which includes the 3 year construction period, increases to 6248 commercial vehicles per day. The total number of vehicles, including non-motorized vehicles, rises from 5389 in 2005, to 11527 in 2028. Based on the project traffic there will therefore be more than 100% increase in traffic using the NH-1A Udhampur to Banihal section by the year 2028. The design of the road and toll plaza components shall be based on the above traffic data but the same may be validated by current traffic study data carried out during the design period.

3.6.4 The pavement design data and proposed thickness available in DPR document prepared by LBG on behalf of NHAI is as follows The composition of the new pavement is as given below (Design Life = 15yrs, MSA = 31, Design life 10yrs, MSA = 19). BC - 40 mm DBM - 75 mm WMM - 250 mm GSB - 200 mm Total - 565 mm Wherever the rock base is encountered, the leveling course work will be done with GSB layers and the GSB layer as such shall not be provided. The design of the pavement shall be based on the available traffic data but the same may be validated by current traffic study data carried out during the design period.
Road markings shall be proposed as per IRC: 35-1997 and provisions of the manual. The major types of road markings proposed at the approach roads are as follows: Carriageway markings Intersection markings Arrow markings Other road furniture proposed on the approach roads are: Roadway indicators Hazard markers Object markers Guard post on hill side drain Road side safety barriers on valley side Kilometer stones Hectometer stones
3.10 UTILITIES

4.2.3 LAYOUT AND DESIGN OF TOLL PLAZA Toll plazas shall be designed for projected peak hour traffic of 20 years. The stage construction of toll plaza in respect of number of toll lanes shall be allowed. If at any time, the queue of vehicles becomes so large that the waiting time of the user exceeds three minutes, the number of toll lanes shall be increased so that the maximum waiting time is brought down to less than three minutes. The layout shall provide for future expansion of toll lanes. However, other structures as envisaged in the Concession Agreement shall be provided at the initial stage itself. The toll plaza being located in the hilly terrain, the horizontal and vertical geometry shall critically consider at the toll plaza area. A mild vertical gradient of 0.5% shall be kept at the toll plaza area, to facilitate stop-and-go conditions of vehicles standing in queues at the toll plaza area. 4.2.4 NUMBER OF LANES AT TOLL PLAZA The total number of toll booths and lanes shall be such as to ensure the service time of not more than 10 seconds per vehicle at peak flow with proposed semi-automatic toll collection system. With Semi-automatic toll lane (Automatic vehicle identification but manual fee transaction), the number of toll lanes will be proposed. In this system, only toll collection is operated manually and all other operations like vehicle classification, ticket printing, and lane controlling, accounting system and monitoring the plaza operation are computerized. Thus, this system offers a well coordinated and more efficient toll plaza operations coupled with high vehicle handling capacity (about four times more than manual system) over conventional operation system. This system is well suited for Indian conditions particularly for the present study corridor for providing a high level of customer service. One/two lanes in each direction of travel shall be provided with the system of payment through ETC. As the toll plaza is proposed to be staggered for each direction on both end of the tunnel no reversible lane is proposed. The number of toll plaza lanes as per the available traffic data is as follows: Year Total Vehicles in both direction (as per available data) Toll able Vehicles (total vehicles excluding govt / military vehicles) Peak Hour Factor (assumed) Peak Hour Vehicles in both direction Toll Lane Requirement Semi Automatic Toll Lane @ 240 vehicles per hour 4 (2+2) 6 (3+3) Hence, total number of toll lanes for projected peak hour traffic of 20 years, in each direction is 4 (3+1) including one extra lane for over dimension vehicles / non-toll able vehicles. The above may be validated by current traffic study data carried out during the design period.
Doc. No. I1007-GDE-ENG-C-REP-2000 - Rev A 07-02-2011 Page 19 of 26
4.2.5 WIDTH OF TOLL LANE The width of each toll lane shall be 3.2 m, except for the lane for over dimensioned vehicles, where it shall be 4.5 m. 4.2.6 TRAFFIC ISLANDS AT THE TOLL PLAZA Between each toll lane of the toll plaza, traffic islands are required to accommodate toll booth. These islands shall be of minimum 25 m length and 1.8 m width. Protective barriers of reinforced concrete and traffic impact attenuators shall be placed at the front of each island to prevent out of control approaching vehicles crashing into the toll booth. They would be painted with reflective chevron markings. As the toll plaza is located in hilly terrain, provision for tunnel connecting the toll booths shall be studied during detailed design to check the possibility of the same as per site condition. 4.2.7 TRANSITION A transition of 1 in 20 to 1 in 10 shall be provided from proposed lane section to the widened width at Toll Plaza on either side. 4.2.8 TOLL BOOTHS Toll booths shall be provided of prefabricated materials or of masonry. The toll booths shall have adequate space for seating of toll collector, computer, printer, cash box, etc. It should have provision for light, fan and air conditioning. Toll booth shall be placed at the centre of each traffic island. The toll booth shall have large glass window to provide the toll collector with good visibility of approaching vehicles. The bottom of the toll window should be placed at such a height (0.9 m) above ground level so as to provide convenience of operation. The toll booths shall be ergonomically designed and vandal proof. There shall be CCTV camera installed at each booth. 4.2.9 TOLL COLLECTION SYSTEM AND EQUIPMENT 4.2.9.1 GENERAL The semi-automatic post-classification Toll Collection System is proposed for the highway section considering the traffic conditions along the study section. This system works on highspeed computers, which are supported, with sophisticated software. The salient components of the proposed system are: Lane Controller Operator Display Operator Console Treadle Sensors Slow Speed Weigh in Motion Equipment (SSWIM) Patron Fare Display Lane Open/Closed Signal Traffic Control Barrier Gate Vehicle Presence Sensor - Loop Detector Gate Open/Closed Traffic Signal
Doc. No. I1007-GDE-ENG-C-REP-2000 - Rev A 07-02-2011 Page 20 of 26
Receipt Printer Intercom Units The layout of the toll plaza shall be finalized after consultation with NHAI/IC to attain maximum system performance and to suit the site conditions. The typical configuration of semi-automatic arrangement is shown in Figure 1.1.
Figure 1.1: Semi-automatic Toll Collection System 4.2.9.2 EQUIPMENT FOR THE TOLLING SYSTEM Lane Controllers The lane controller, through the interface chord, controls the operation of barrier gate, loops, treadles, alarm, cash drawer and receipt printer. The controller will get the vehicle passed signal from the exit loop and close the gate automatically. Data of each transaction will be entered through the lane controller and passed on to the plaza computer. It will handle all transactions with the toll booth operator through the operator console from where the operator, with input classification and toll transaction information, will automatically control lane equipment such as the gate position etc. Plaza Computers The plaza computer would be used by the supervisor and the administrator to monitor the plaza activities. The display will show informations for each lane at the tollbooths like:
07-02-2011
Page 21 of 26
Whether the lane is open or closed or in standby mode Information of the status of operator is logged into the system The last transaction such as non revenue or no fund Traffic counts for the day and running average
The administration display will show the status of the plaza computer and whether or not a supervisor is present. The displays will also have a copy of the log window with a scroll capability. Barrier Gate The barrier gate will provide traffic control for the toll booth operator. The gate position will be controlled automatically by the lane controller system. The gate will remain closed until the operator completes a transaction on the operator console which will be opened automatically on pressing a button provided on the operator console and close automatically when the vehicle passes over the exit sensor. Operator Console The operator console will provide for basic control of the toll functions to the operator with a combination of touch buttons, light indicators and switches for effective operation of toll collection. From the console, the operator will control lane equipment functions, enter classification and toll transactions, and monitor the status of lane equipment. When the operator indicates payment, the cash drawer would open and the gate lifted to allow the vehicle to proceed. Indicators will be provided on the console to enable the operator to monitor the function and status of the verification equipment. They will be used to indicate when a vehicle passes over the treadle and when the vehicles are on the top. The treadle and loop lights on the console will be meant for diagnostic purpose only. Patron Fare Display This is meant to provide easily readable visual communication to the driver during the toll transaction. It will be mounted outside the tollbooth in a highly visible position. The patron fare display would be legible at wide angles, have long life expectancy, of light weight and weather proof construction with table top/pedestal mounting options, high contrast for easy readability up to 15 m and five digit display. This would also display fare amount due and current time. Permanent Loop Sensor This will be placed after the barrier gates to detect the exit of the vehicle from the system. When the vehicle exits, the sensor would convey the same to the lane controller, which automatically closes the gate. Overhead Traffic Signals These overhead traffic signals will be present at a distance of about 100 m from the barrier gate to enable the driver to see which lane is free (green) and which is occupied at the moment (red). The control will be with the toll operator. The panel will have the buttons to control the signal indication. Gate Open/Close Signals
07-02-2011
Page 22 of 26
These will be situated at around 3m before the gate and will display the position of the gate. Red will indicate gate is closed / closing and green will indicate gate is open / opening to allow the vehicle to pass through. Treadle Sensors The treadle consists of a group of sensors, which detect vehicle axles to provide classification information. These sensors are pressure sensitive axle sensors and will not be affected by vehicle speed. These are placed after the tollgate in the proposed postclassification system. Treadles consist of both frame and sensors. The frame is permanently installed into the pavement while the sensors are installed into the frame. Slow Speed Weigh in Motion Equipment (SSWIM) The Weigh-In-Motion Equipment can also be incorporated into the proposed toll system. To begin with, the data collected (i.e. weight of all, or specific vehicles passing through any one or all the toll lanes) can be used for determining the number of overweight vehicles passing through the system and based on this, future planning can be undertaken. For each lane, in addition to the vehicle classification sensors, a Slow Speed WIM system is installed in the entry lanes to all the Toll Plazas. The data is transferred to the lane controller computer through a field unit placed alongside the lane. If the toll to be collected is to be calculated on the basis of weight and vehicle class, then the lane controller computer deduces the same and displays it to the operator and the vehicle driver. Audible / Visual Booth Alarm The purpose of the audio/visual alarm will be to indicate any unauthorized tampering with the cash drawer, lane controller, printer, signals, etc., by means of an audio alarm and visual lighting. The alarm system will be connected to the plaza room where, in the event, the indication of the tampering by audio/visual means will be obtained along with the lane number where the attempt is being made. All the functions of that particular lane will be automatically locked and would return to normal only when the system is turned off. Cash Drawers The cash drawers will be electronically locked in addition to the manual key. The electronic lock will be under the control of the lane controller, which will be kept locked until the proper key (in the form of a password, etc.) is fed in by the operator. The cash drawer will have various compartments for stacking different currency notes plus an additional compartment for coins. Uninterrupted Power Supply The uninterrupted power supply will provide back-up power for the complete system for at least 30 minutes and will operate on maintenance free, rechargeable and detachable batteries. This back-up system will be capable of automatic switch ON in case of power failure and automatic switch OFF when the power is restored. 4.2.10 CANOPY All the toll lanes and toll booths shall be covered with a canopy. The canopy shall be wide enough to provide weather protection to toll operators, drivers and facilities. The canopy shall
Doc. No. I1007-GDE-ENG-C-REP-2000 - Rev A 07-02-2011 Page 23 of 26
be of aesthetically pleasing design with cylindrical support columns located at traffic island so that there is no restriction on visibility and traffic movement. The vertical clearance below toll canopy shall be 5.5m.
4.6 DRAINAGE
The toll plaza shall be provided with surface and sub surface drainage system so that all the storm water is drained off efficiently and no pounding or stagnation of water takes place at any area of the toll plaza. Surface water collected in drains shall be discharges at nearest natural outlet/ culvert.
4.7 LIGHTING
The toll plaza facility shall be adequately lighted to provide visibility to the drivers. The following lighting shall be provided at the interiors and exteriors of the facility:

Interior lighting At toll booths and facility building office the level of illumination shall be 200 to 30 Lux as per IS: 3646 Part II. Exterior lighting At toll plaza area shall be illuminated with high mast lighting in addition to normal low light poles. Highway lighting along 500m approach length of the toll plaza shall be provided. A minimum 40 Lux road surface illumination shall be ensured. Flashing signals for foggy conditions shall be provided. Canopy lighting with illumination up to 100 Lux shall be provided at toll booth and toll gate area. Indian standard Code of Practice for Lighting in Public Thoroughfare IS: 1944 shall be followed. Power shall be from public power supply system with provision of generators having capacity to provide power for all lightings in the toll plaza area for use during emergency cut-offs.
As toll plazas are proposed on both ends of the tunnel due to space constraints in hilly terrain, office building shall be also at both ends. The location of office building shall be considered taking into account future expansion of the facility. The office building being located in high altitudes experiencing snow fall during winter seasons, building architecture and design shall considered the same.
