    - The email thread discusses scour depth calculations for bridges in rock strata. It provides guidelines from IRC codes for calculating scour depth in rocks based on shear strength, which can be estimated from SPT values or rock coring tests. - For bridges where rock is encountered at shallow depths like 1m or 3.5m, the question of a silt factor for calculating scour depth does not apply as scour depth would be restricted to the rock level. - SMEC is asked to provide hydrology reports, GADs, substructure and superstructure designs for several major bridges by July 25th to meet review and approval timelines.

    Dear Naik,
    As per our telephonic discussion and reference to trailing mail, “SILT factor value” for Minor & Major bridge should
    be mention in Factual Geotech report by investigation agency. The same silt factor shall be used for scour depth
    calculation and PMC always verifying this silt factor value from Factual GT Report only. Kindly instruct to soil agency
    to provide (mention) silt factor value in factual GT report as basis for PMC Cross verify & approval.

    TPL Reply: Noted and provided wherever soil is encountered. For rocks weak to Strong ref. below reply.

    @Younis
    Depth of scour could be possible in soil and highly weathered rock (where Core Recovery < 35%) only.
    Recommended Depth of scour shall be restricted up to rock level irrespective of calculation by keeping note that,
    rock is encountered at particular depth.

    @Eswar Sir,
    For optimization of foundation depth where rock strata is encountered at deeper depth (let say more than 3.5m), in
    that case silt fator is play important role to fix scour depth and accordingly founding level. If soil/weathered rock
    encountered till deeper depth we can’t keep our founding level at rock level in every case. As I understand, at some
    bridge location, soil/weathered rock encountered in deeper depth also.

    Scour Depth calculation in rocks.


    i) As per IRC-78-2014 703.2.2.2, No rational formula or data for determining scour depth for bed material
    consisting of gravels and boulders (normally having weighted diameter more than 2.00 mm) and clayey
    bed is available. In absence of any data on scour for such material, the mean scour depth may be
    calculated following the guidelines given in Appendix-1. Can be calculated from shear strength of rocks.

    ii) Shear strength of weathered rocks


    a) When cores and/or core testing result are not available, or when geo-material is highly fragmented.
    The shear strength of geo-material is obtained from its correlation with extrapolated SPT values for
    300 mm of penetration as given in table below for cohesion values as per IRC-78-2014 cl:9 page no.
    79

    b) Shear strength of soil can be evaluated from IS: 2911 (part 1/ sec2) since it is difficult to collect cores
    in weathered/soft rocks, the method suggested by Cole and Stroud using ‘N’ values is more widely
    used.

    2
    c) If sound rock is met with, at the higher levels than the anticipated scour,
    scour criteria will not be applicable as per IS: 7784 part.1-1993.

    Based on the above we can easily evaluate the scour depth in rocky strata. However, the scour depth can be
    restricted in weathered rocks.

    Hope this will be enough for getting clearance from PMC.

    Thanks & Regards

    Dear Punit,

    When rock is available at shallow depth where is the question of silt factor?

    The depth of rock strata is listed below:

    66 – Rock depth 1m

    68E – Rock depth 3.5m

    This point clarified many times to SMEC.

    Regards,
    Eswara Prasad

    Dear Sir,

    For major bridge 66 & 68E pls provide silt factors for arriving at scour depths.

    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Sir,

    Following is the status of some of the major bridges for which we required GFC status by end of this month. So
    kindly complete all submissions (Hydrology, GAD’s, Structural design’s) by 25th July 2018. Pl confirm.

    To expedite the review and approval DFCC/PMC is ready to cooperate. SMEC support is required to complete the
    task on time.
