eligible unconnected habitations as per Core-Network with a population of 500 persons (as per 2001
Census) and above in plain areas. In respect of ‘Special Category States’ (North-East, Sikkim, Himachal
Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand), the Desert areas, the Tribal (Schedule V) areas and 88
Selected Tribal and Backward districts as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs/Planning
Commission, the population criteria to connect eligible unconnected habitations as per Core-Network
was of 250 persons and above (Census 2001). In critical Left Wing Extremism affected blocks (as
identified by MHA), additional relaxation has been given to connect habitations with population 100+.
The Scheme has also an element of upgradation (to prescribed standards) of existing rural roads in
districts where all the eligible habitations of the designated population size have been provided all
weather road connectivity, though it is not central to the Programme.
• PMGSY-II was launched in 2013 to allow consolidation of 50,000 km of existing rural roads
network in the country on sharing basis between the Centre and the State / UT on 60:40 for plain areas
and 90:10 for North-Eastern States and hill areas under PMGSY-II. The length proposed under PMGSY-II
was linked to about 20-25% of such upgradation target under PMGSY-I.
PMGSY - III :
The PMGSY envisages consolidation of the existing Rural Road Network by upgradation of existing
Through Routes and Major Rural Links that connect habitations to :
PMGSY programme focus on Up-gradation of existing Through Routes and Major Rural Links
based on priority giving importance to critical facilities like the rural markets and education & health
facilities. This programme provides connectivity, easy access and faster movement from the
habitations to Mandis, agricultural Markets, other farmer related enterprises, higher secondary
schools, colleges, hospitals etc in order to improve the quality life of rural populous. This is a 5 years
programme from 2019-20.
An all-weather road is one which is negotiable during all weathers, with some permitted
interruptions. Essentially this means that at cross-drainage structures, the duration of overflow or
interruption at one stretch shall not exceed 12 hours for ODRs and 24 hours for VRs in hilly terrain, and
3 days in the case of roads in plain terrain. The total period of interruption during the year should not
exceed 10 days for ODRs and 15 days for VRs.

The DRRP is a road network in a district, showing the entire existing road network with updated
surface conditions, the habitations of various population size and roads proposed for connecting the
habitations from another connected habitations/ all-weather roads in an economic and efficient way in
terms of cost and utility. It is also known as the Master Plan for Rural Roads for the district. The Census
data of 2011 is being used for PMGSY-II and PMGSY-III. Under PMGSY II and PMGSY-III, District Rural
Road Plan is the basis for selection of roads. The DRRP comprises of Through routes and Link routes.
Under PMGSY-II and PMGSY-III, the DRRP includes identification of candidate roads among the existing
Through routes (TRs) and Link Routes (LRs) based on utility value per unit road length of candidate
road. The candidate roads are to be selected based on the ranking generated by the Trace Maps using
Q-GIS software.
The Sub-project road from Dakshin Jhitkipota to Mahisnagra upto Jatrapur More is a Through
Route/Major Rural Link (MRL)/ link road with Code 5 in Krishnanagar I block of Nadia District. This road
connects the habitations of Berabaia, Dakshin Jhitkipota, HAJARIPOTA, JALALKHALI, Krishnagar
Nampara, Mahishnengra Purbapara, MANIKTALA, MOLLA PARA, with populations of 646, 2160, 441,
2039, 1341, 1334, 2938, 1065, respectively.
Also, the habitations namely are located within 3 Km/5 Km path distance. Thus this through
road/Major Rural Link/link road serves the total population of 11964.
1.5 Geography
The road condition is poor almost throughout the stretch. The terrain is classified as Plain.
The regional topography is generally flat with a gentle southerly slope towards which the main
rivers like Jalangi, Churni, Mathabhanga, Ichamati and Bhagirathi River. The entire district lies in the
alluvial plain of the Ganga and its tributaries. Nadia is bestowed with a very fertile soil. For
administrative convenience Nadia district is divided into four Subdivisions – Krishnagar Sadar,
Ranaghat. Kalyani and Tehatta. The soil is very rich in nature due to the alluvial deposition which helps
to grow Rice, Jute, Mesta and Sugarcane etc. Krishnanagar is the most important town of this district,
as it is the district headquarter of Nadia.
Nadia district in the state of West Bengal is classified as tropical climate. The monsoon here have
a good deal of rainfall, while the winters have very little. The average temperature is around 36°C and
the minimum average temperature is around 10°C and the average annual rainfall is 1353 mm.
Name of the road as per sanction : Dakshin Jhitkipota to Mahisnagra upto Jatrapur More
This road is proposed for both Up-gradation and Riding quality Improvement
Upgradation is proposed for the chainage from0 to12 km

CHAPTER 3
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
3.1. General
Detailed topographical surveys have been conducted to prepare the base map and plan of
the existing alignment of the track. During the surveys, horizontal control points and temporary
benchmarks have been established on some permanent or semi-permanent structures. The
detailed procedures are described in this section.
The in-house standards, work procedures and quality plan has been prepared with reference
to IRC: SP 48-1984, IRC:73-1980, IRC: SP 19-2001, IRC: SP 20-2002, IRC: SP 13-2004 (in respect of
surveys for rivers/streams) and current international practices have been followed during the
above survey.
3.2. Traversing
The traverse consists of a series of straight lines with their lengths and intermediates angles
measured very carefully. In difficult terrain, the alignment have been negotiated through a series of
short chords, preferably, the traverse have been done with a Theodolite with Electronic Distance
Measurement (EDM) and all angles are measured with double reversal method. Global Positioning
System (GPS) is also very useful and appropriate for preliminary survey. The GPS will give locations
in coordinates all the necessary points on the traverse. GPS is very fast reasonably accurate for
preliminary system and computer friendly for data transfer. Control pillars in cement concrete
should be fixed at suitable interval (ranging from 500 m to 2 kms) to have control on accuracy. It
also helps in repeating the survey, if required, within the control pillars.
Traverse is done preferably by total station having angular measurement accuracy of ± 1 sec.
3.3. Leveling
Engineering Surveying involves the measurement of three quantities; heights, angles and
distances. Levelling is the process of measuring heights from mean sea level. It is possible when
levelling to measure heights with an accuracy of milimetres. Heights can also be measured using
total stations, handheld lasers and GPS devices. However, levelling offers an inexpensive, simple
and accurate method for measuring heights, and it is widely used in construction sites. Heights
based on an arbitary datum are known as Temporary Bench Marks.
The height of a point relative to a datum is known as its Reduced level (RL).
3.4. Cross Section & Detailling
Cross sections are taken at 30 m interval and at closer interval 5 m to 10 m as per redius of
curve in curved portion of the existing road. All physical features of the road are recorded.
To facilitate the leveling work, bench marks, either temporary or permanent, is established at
intervals of 250 to 500 metres with proper marking painting as per code. The levels are connected
to GTS datum. The list of permanent reference pillars and TBMs are tabulated below:

4.1. General
The soil and material investigations have been done following the guidelines of IRC: SP: 20-2002 &
IRC: SP: 72-2015 and other relevant IS codes. The potential sources of borrow areas for soil and quarry
sites are identified.
4.2. Soil sample collection and Testing
Soil samples are collected along and around the road alignment at three (3) locations per km, from
the adjoining borrow areas, as well as one sample is collected from the existing road. Soil Classification
tests like grain size analysis and Atterberg’s limit are conducted for all the samples collected. Standard
Proctor Test and the corresponding 4 day soaked CBR test have been conducted either for a minimum of
one test per km for soil samples of same group or more tests due to variation of soil type. The following
tests are conducted as detailed below:
5.1. General
In the present scenario of upgradation road, 3 day, 24 hr traffic volume count has been
conducted on the proposed road and also already completed or similar type of PMGSY road in the
vicinity of the project road. The Classified Volume Count survey has been carried out in accordance
with the requirements of the TOR and relevant codes (IRC: 9 - 1972, IRC: SP: 19-2001, IRC: SP: 20 -
2002, IRC: SP: 72-2015). The surveys have been carried out manually by trained enumerators under
the monitoring of Engineering Supervisor.
The traffic survey has been decided best on the mid block situation and free from the local
influence.
5.2. Traffic Data and Analysis
The traffic count done during a period of transition from lean season to peak season (a reduction
of 40% has been given instead of 50% on peak season count) is classified into different vehicle
category as given below:
• Non- motorized vehicles comprising of cycle, rickshaw, cycle van, animal drawn vehicle etc.
The number of laden and un-laden commercial vehicles are recorded during the traffic counts.
Traffic volume count for this project road is done during harvesting season. The seasonal variation is
based on local enquiry.
Average of 3 day traffic data is presented in Table 5.1.

In the absence of any specific generators, an average annual growth rate 6% over the design life
has been adopted (as recommended by IRC: SP 72-2015). The growth rate of 6% seems reasonable
depending on socio-economic consideration and future growth on account of generated and diverted
traffic on this road. The details of traffic survey analysis are given in Table 5.2.

Generally, minimum gradient of 0.3% for drainage purpose is considered for designing the
vertical alignment of this road. Vertical curves are not required when grade change is less than 1%,
however a minimum vertical curve is provided to avoid vertical kink.
8.1. General
The basic aim of highway design is to identify technically sound, environment-friendly and
economically feasible highway alignment. The most appropriate alignment is to be proposed
considering the effect of climate change and past history of natural disasters in the area. The
selection of the alignment is to be made after economic, social and environmental analysis, the
details of the same is presented in succeeding chapters. The ensuing sections deals with obligatory
points, which control highway alignment, design of cross-section, highway geometric design &
methodology, design of miscellaneous items.
v. Staggering the location of the hair-pin bends so that they are not aligned one above the other.
vi. Ensuring safe horizontal and vertical distance from river banks and the water level.
vii. Avoidance of hill cutting in the form of huge vertical cuts and adoption of benching for
mitigating slope instability.
viii. Adoption of the balance and cut and fill methodology where possible.
ix. Study of the roads already constructed in the immediate vicinity to better understand the
behaviour of the hill slopes along the roads.
x. Excavation of bore holes at major change in pavement condition or in deflection readings (for
up-gradation works), or at 2 km intervals, whichever is lesser.
xi. Excavation as required where major changes in soil condition or change in strata is observed.
xii. Testing of samples from the bore holes to determine suitability of various materials for use in
widening of existing embankments or in new pavement structure.
xiii. In case of hill roads, identification of the dumping sites in the DPR so as to use them for
developing parks, playground, parking area etc.
xiv. Consultation with the local public on the hazards occurring in the area in the past.

9.1. General
Considering the subgrade strength , projected traffic and the design life, the pavement design for
low volume PMGSY roads was carried out as per guidelines of IRC: SP: 72 – 2015, IRC SP:77-2008 “Design
of Gravel Road”, IRC SP:62-2014 “Cement Concrete roads” and IRC:37-2018 “Guidelines for Design of
Flexible Pavement for roads having higher category of traffic. In built up area for hygienic and safety
reasons, C.C. pavement are provided with a hard shoulder and drain appropriate line drain. Drainage
plan is attached with the DPR.
The assessment of the existing pavement condition is conducted with following test procedures
undertaken:
i. Pavement roughness measurement using bump integrator (or alternative calibrated instrument) and
measurement of rutting, cracking and ravelling.
ii. Measurement of road deflections utilizing the Benkleman Beam Deflection Test.
iii. CBR tests at sufficient intervals to indicate extent and severity of the problem when pavements are
too distressed to give meaningful deflection results.
iv. Survey for assessment of the surface, sub-surface and roadside drainage condition of the road
section.
v. Detailed subsurface investigations for all the road sections where there has been subgrade failure.
vi. Overlay thickness clause 2.2.3 of IRC SP72:2015 has been referred.
9.2. Pavement Design Approach
9.2.1. Design Life
A design life of 10 years is to be considered for the purpose of pavement design of flexible and
granular pavements.
9.2.2. Design Traffic
The average annual daily traffic (AADT) for the opening year as well as the total commercial vehicle
per day (CVPD) are presented in Table 5.2.
9.2.3. Determination of ESAL applications
Only commercial vehicles with a gross laden weight of 3 tonnes or more are considered. The
design traffic was considered in terms of cumulative number of standard axles to be carried during the
design life of the road. The numbers of commercial vehicles of different axle loads are converted to
number of standard axle repetitions by a multiplier called the Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF). An
indicative VDF value was considered as the traffic volume of rural road does not warrant axle load
survey. In addition a seasonal factor 1.42 has been considered. Since the survey was done in transtion
period from lean to peak season, a discount of 40% instead of 50% has been implied.
For calculating the VDF, the following categories of vehicles was considered as suggested in
paragraph 3.4.4 of IRC: SP: 72 – 2015.
• Laden heavy/medium commercial vehicles.
• Un-laden /partially loaded heavy/medium commercial vehicles.
• Over loaded heavy/medium commercial vehicles.
Indicative VDF values considered 10% of laden MCV and 10% laden HCV as overloaded & given below:
Lane distribution factor (L) for Single lane road = 1.0 Cumulative ESAL application = T o x 4811 x L,
where To = ESAL application per day. The Cumulative ESAL application for the project road as per
paragraph 3.5 of IRC: SP: 72 – 2015 is presented in Annexure.

commercial vehicles as given in Table 5.2 should be maintained as far as possible.
The sub-project road isn't situated in a flood prone zone. The embankment height considered as 1
m (average) from ground to crust except at the approaches of cross drainage structures.
ESAL (TRAFFIC CATEGORY) CALCULATION
As the name implies, rigid pavements are rigid i.e, they do not flex much under loading like flexible
pavements. They are constructed using cement concrete. In this case, the load carrying capacity is
mainly due to the rigidity and high modulus of elasticity of the slab (slab action). H. M. Westergaard is
considered the pioneer in providing the rational treatment of the rigid pavement analysis.
The details of hydrological data is given in Annexure:- VI.

Width of Bridge: 6.4 m with parapet.
10.4. Justification for retaining/widening and replacement of culverts
Existing CD structures as in given Table 6.1 are in poor condition as found out from inventory
survey.
10.5. Hydraulic calculation for Culvert
The design discharge was calculated by the rational method considering peak runoff from
catchment using the formula,
Q = 0.028 x P x A xIc
Where,
P = Coefficient of Run Off for the catchments characteristics;
Ic = Rainfall Intensity in cm/hr; &
A = Catchments Area in Hectares

11.1. General
In any road project, protective works play an important role in road construction. Some
protective measures are taken to prevent the embankment from erosion and other hazards.
The governing factors for selections of protective measures are:
a) Economy of construction
b) Ease in construction
c) Purpose of protection
Protective Measures
Protective measures have been taken mainly for embankment and cross-drainage structures.
Embankment Protection
Protective measures have been taken to protect the embankment slope from erosion due to
rain water. Boulder sausage works are provided to protect the embankment.
11.2. Road side drain
As the insufficient drainage of surface water leads to rapid damage of road, road side drain as
shown in drawing volume has been provided particularly on the location of habitation areas. Sketch
for a standard roadside drain is available. It is Presented in Table 11.3.

12.1. General
The existing road details are summarized in Table 12.1. The project road is an up-gradation road
under PMGSY III. The existing Right of Way (ROW) is varying from 10 m to 15 m.
12.2. Proposed ROW
The width of carriageway is considered as 5.5 m in accordance with the IRC-SP 20: 2002. The total
roadway width is limited to 9.25 m with 1.875 m earthen shoulder on either side of carriageway. The
proposed ROW generally varies from 12 m – 15 m depending upon the embankment height and the
proposed ROW is even less than 10 m in some stretches of habitation area and in areas having tree
plantation.
Local administration and local panchayat need to apprise the villagers about requirement of minor
areas in places for development of the road. Villagers are generally highly enthusiastic during site visits
for selection of the road. Table 12.2 provides the chainage-wise additional land requirement.
All the existing utilities like Electric Poles, Telephone poles, water pipelines etc may require
relocation during widening of existing track/road. All such utilities are given in Plan of Drawing volume.
The rates for relocations of utilities have been taken as per enquiries from concerned authority and as
per Schedule of Rates.

14.1. Planning
Road safety starts from planning stage itself. A road hierarchy system of network planning has
been one of the important tools used for road network and land use planning. Basic approach is for
defining each roadway in terms of its main functions (of accessibility and mobility) and appropriate
design criteria. Rural road comprise other District Roads and Village Roads for which geometric design
standards are given in IRC Codes. These roads basically serve the accessibility function. Normally a
rural road should not join or intersect a national highway or even a state highway. It should join a
major district road for better network efficiency and more importantly for better safety.
Following points are kept into consideration for safe design of alignment and profile:
(i) Road has been designed with characteristics of self-explaining, consistent, ‘forgiving’, and for safe
use of all categories of users, and with consideration of human factors.
(ii) Ruling standards of geometric design has been adopted, with largest practical radius and sight
distance.
(iii) Sharp bends/ 90° turn is avoided and improved if present on existing roads or tracks. These are
hazardous locations and tried to eliminate even if, it requires acquisition of land. The requirement and
locations be identified during transect walk and field surveys. The state should make provisions for the
acquisition of land at critical locations. In cases where it is not feasible/ impossible then speed
management measures have to be planned and provided.
(iv) Visibility is an important requirement for safety on roads especially in hills. Therefore it is
necessary that prescribed sight distance (related to speed) is available to permit drivers enough time
and distance to control their vehicles and avoid accidents. In order to ensure prescribed sight
distance, it may be necessary to have additional right of way. Additional land may also be acquired at
locations of deep cut, high fills and unstable or landslide prone areas. Where this is not feasible, traffic
calming measures as per IRC: 99-2018 need to be planned and provided.
(v) The roads in hilly terrain planned according to avoid hairpin bends or kept to minimum and is
located on stable and flat ground. In unavoidable circumstances, Hair-pin Bends have been designed
as Circular Curves with Transitions or as Compound Circular curves as prescribed in Hill Roads Manual.
The widening required has been achieved towards hill side.
(vi) Extra widening is provided at sharp horizontal curves to facilitate safe passage of vehicles. Blind
curves and hairpin bends have been made 2-lanes for improving safety.
(vii) Designing vertical profile compatible with natural topography for optimum and balanced cut-fill
quantities hence generating less spoil.
(viii) Keeping finished road level and fill slopes higher than the high flood level (HFL). While designing
the roads, provision is made for grade compensation at curves, vertical and lateral clearances and co-
ordination of horizontal and vertical alignments.
(ix) Besides other drawings, the DPR includes drawings of:
(a) Horizontal Alignment and Longitudinal Vertical Profile,
(b) Cross-section at required interval along the alignment within ROW, Typical Cross-Sections
with details of pavement structure,
(c) Detailed Drawings of intersections layout with traffic signs, pavement markings and speed
management measures,
(d) Detailed Working Drawings for individual Culverts and Cross-Drainage Structures,
(e) Detailed Working Drawings for individual Bridges, Tunnels, subways and Structures.
(f) Detailed Drawings showing each traffic sign with its type and location, pavement markings of
edge lines and pedestrian crossings at required locations.
(g) Drawing showing location and layout of bus bays provided.
(h) Detailed drawings showing safety measures (traffic signs, markings, delineators or other
special treatment) for sharp/ blind curves if part of alignment.
14.2. Take off point of rural roads from higher category road is carefully planned with well-designed
intersection. Following points has been kept into consideration for the selection and design of takeoff
point:
(i) Take off is kept perpendicular to higher category road. In any case, the angle is kept less than 70 0
(vii) Suggestive layout of Priority Intersections is given in Fig. 14.2, below for guidance. Besides well
designed layout, the intersection must be provided with required and correct traffic signs, pavement
markings and speed management measures as per relevant IRC codes.
(Note: It would be desirable for NRIDA to prepare a separate document on “Type Design for
Intersections on Rural Roads” for design and layout of intersection.)
(viii) NRIDA Guidelines recommends provision of speed humps at junction of rural road with higher
order roads, near Schools/ Anganwadi Centers / Health Centers and entry points of habitation. Its
design should be as prescribed in IRC: 99-2018.
14.3.
The other (dead) end of rural road has been taken, a little beyond the habitation so that there is space
for turning of vehicles especially buses ambulances and fire tenders. A suggestive layout is shown in
Fig.14.3, for guidance, which is based on US practice. It is suitably modified as per site conditions.
14.4.
In cases, where public transport buses ply on the main road then they may be providing facilities for
villagers as well. Therefore provision of bus bays be part of development of rural road. Also if there is
possibility or planning for public transport buses to start plying (with the improvement of rural road),
then bus bays has been provided for efficient and safe movement on rural roads. Its location and
layout is based on IRC: 80 – 1981 ‘Type Design for Pick up Bus Stop on Rural (ie. Non – Urban)
Highways’. Bus bays has been provided for both direction of travel and located about 300 m but not
less than 60 m on the farther side of intersection such that bus commuters cross the main road (for
going to and from village) at the back of stopped bus. Typical layout is given in Fig, 14.4, for guidance.
Facilities for Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) such as pedestrians and cyclist are crucial part of safe
design of rural roads. If separate provision for their movement is not made, then they would use and
share same road space as by motorized vehicles which could be dangerous for them. Rural Roads
Manual prescribes 3.75 m width of carriageway and 7.5 m width for roadway. Therefore, width of
1.875 m should be available on both sides for shoulders. This width meets the requirement of
minimum width of 1.8 m, prescribed for pedestrian movements, by IRC: 103- 2012. Maintaining this
width with well compacted gravel (non soft soil) material would greatly facilitate pedestrian
movement especially for school going children. The photographs in Fig. 14.5, should give a fair idea for
well provided and maintained facility for pedestrians to walk. This would be useful for movement for
cyclists.
Safe facilities for pedestrians includes crossing facility by way of zebra pavement marking. This has
been provided at intersection and at bus bays and at other need based locations which are most used
and preferred by pedestrians to cross the road. Fig.14.6. shows illustrative Pedestrian crossing
Markings.
(i) The material, shape, size, configuration and placement of traffic signs must conform to the
standard prescribed in IRC: 67 – 2012. If any non-standard and wrong sign exists on the road, its
replacement has been recommended by correct and standard sign.
(ii) Section 6.7 of IRC: 67 – 2012 provides guidance on the types of retro- reflective sheeting. For rural
roads, Class B, Type IV sheeting by IRC 67 – 2012 may be used for better conspicuity especially in night
time use.
(iii) GI pipes or rectangular hollow section as support post, should be used for sign support.
(iv) Signs should be so placed that that their bottom edge should not be less than 2 m above the kerb.
(v) If the meaning of the sign is required to be made more explicit, then a rectangular definition plate
may be provided, placed below the sign as prescribed in Section 13 of IRC: 67 – 2012.
(vi) The general size of the sign is 600 mm unless prescribed otherwise for some signs, in IRC: 67 –
2012.
(vii) Over head signs on rural roads are not required to be provided, they being single lane with low
speeds.
(viii) The traffic signs prescribed by IRC 67 – 2012 , ‘Code of Practice for Road Signs’ which can be
commonly used for rural roads are given below:
(a) Mandatory/ Regulatory Signs
(b) Cautionary/ Warning Signs
(c) Information Signs
14.7. Road Markings
Rural Roads are provided with pavement markings as per material (thermoplastic paints with glass
beads) and pattern, prescribed by IRC: 35- 2015, ‘Code of Practice for Road Markings. Essential ones
are, edge line markings, STOP line and pedestrian crossing:
(a) Edge Line Markings
(b) STOP Line
(c) Pedestrian Crossing Markings
14.8. Delineators
Rural roads especially in hilly terrain for travel in night time become much safer if they are
properly delineated. IRC: 79 – 2019, ‘Recommended Practice for Road Delineators’, prescribes
guidance on road delineators. But, care needs to be taken that they are only of plastic material with
reflectors, instead of materials such as metal, concrete, timber or cut stone since they may pose
safety hazard for out of control vehicles. They can be rectangular, circular or plastic drums as shown in
Fig.14.7.
Crash barriers are provided at hazardous locations such as, where height of embankment is
more than 3 m, on approaches to bridges (Fig. 14.8) as prescribed in IRC:119 - 2015, ‘Guidelines for
Traffic Safety Barriers. They must be fitted with reflective markers for enhancing night time visibility. It
is important to provide suitable end treatment for such type of barrier for safety. The ends of this
barrier must either be embedded into ground by tapering down or these must be embedded into the
rigid parapet wall of a culvert or specially prepared rigid parapet for the purpose of embedding.
is important to provide suitable end treatment for such type of barrier for safety. The ends of this
barrier must either be embedded into ground by tapering down or these must be embedded into the
rigid parapet wall of a culvert or specially prepared rigid parapet for the purpose of embedding.
Hazard markers has been provided at all pipe culvert headwalls (Fig. 14.9), at each end of all box
culverts, river crossing causeways and similar CD structures and at any discontinuity in the shoulder.
14.12.
At submersible bridges and causeways, guard/ guide posts (Fig. 14.10) are provided as
recommended in IRC: SP: 82 – 2008, ‘Guidelines for Design of Causeways and Submersible Bridges’.
The DPR includes identification/ marking of objects (as prescribed in IRC: 35 –2015; painting of
the objects such as guard rails, guard stones or trees, with white paint, up to a height of 1.25 m above
the road level with 300 m band with black paint in the middle of 1.25 m height to enhance visibility.
All objects located within 2.4m from shoulder shall be painted. In addition to the object markings, (Fig.
14.11) as provided in IRC: 79 – 2019, provided in front objects to enhance visibility. The height of
object marker is maintained at least 1.2 m above the traffic lane.
14.14. Ramps
Ramps provided where field paths and cattle crossings intersect the road.
14.14. Sharp, Blind Curves
Sharp, blind curves are highly hazardous locations and must be eliminated even if, it requires
acquisition of land. In cases, where acquiring of extra land is somewhat impossible, then following
measures has been adopted:
(i) The carriage way is widened to two lanes at the bend
(ii) Traffic Signs for ‘Overtaking prohibited’, ‘Speed Limit’ and ‘Compulsory Horn’ provided at both
ends of the curve. Instead of placing them on separate support poles, they are to be placed on single
post as shown in Fig.14.12. Chevron sign should also be provided at the bend.
(iii) Reflective delineators or Chevron signs (Fig. 14,13) are provided on the both sides of approaches
and on the bend as specified in IRC: 79 - 2010.
(iv) Double chevron signs at the apex of curve provided, for both direction of travel
(v) Some low cost measures of delineating the sharp curves are provided as shown in Fig.14.14. The
photograph on the left shows number of bamboo sticks tied together and painted in alternate colors
of red and yellow. The photograph on the right shows an earth mound created with tress/ shrubs
planted. These measures would help in delineation of sharp bend.
Rumble strips/ markings also are provided on approaches to schools if they exist on rural roads.
The rural road entering/ passing through villages poses a serious challenge especially in Indian
situation where rural roads are generally used by villagers, as the back yard of their homes. They
sometimes even cook food on road besides using for their livestock. The design and safety
measures/treatment are of site specific. Some of the design features are given here which are
expected to enhance safe use of road:
(i) The stretch within the village treated as 20kmph zone. For some villages, it may be 15kmph
zones. Therefore speed limit signs are installed on approaches along with gradual transitional reduced
speed limit signs. Rural Roads Manual prescribes design speed for rural roads as 50 km/h (ruling) and
(i) The stretch within the village treated as 20kmph zone. For some villages, it may be 15kmph
zones. Therefore speed limit signs are installed on approaches along with gradual transitional reduced
speed limit signs. Rural Roads Manual prescribes design speed for rural roads as 50 km/h (ruling) and
40 kmph (minimum) in plain terrain and still lower in mountainous terrain.
(ii) ‘Village Gateways’ as per IRC:99 Guidelines on Traffic Clamming Measures may be provided.
(iii) Pre Cast Interlocking Concrete Blocks (Fig. 14.15) as prescribed by IRC; SP 63- 2004, ‘Guidelines
for Interlocking Concrete Block Pavement’ and in ‘Grameen Sampark’ 2007 edition by NRRDA or Stone
(granite) brick paving (if available at economic cost) will be used in the village stretch, instead of
traditional bituminous one. It would help in speed reduction, avoid surface damage in rains, provide
least life cycle cost due to low maintenance and give longer service life.
(iv) Concrete drains with covers are provided in the village stretch. The level of drains with covers
maintained at the same level as the pavement but drainage system is provided for storm water and
household drainage going into these drains. They are designed with self-cleansing gradient and taken
to the nearest natural drain. Covers are removable for ease of cleaning and maintenance.
Safety in Work Zones during Construction: There could be two situations in construction of rural
roads. One could be green field i.e. construction of all together, a new link road. The other could be on
existing cart track/ alignment. Rural Roads Manual suggests that generally, most new roads are
followed the existing cart tracks and other such existing alignments. This implies that there is
movement of vehicles on the road. Therefore, the situation requires careful Work Zone Traffic
Management Plan (WZTMP) in work zones. The Guidelines given in IRC SP: 55–2014 –Guidelines on
Traffic Management in Work Zones’ should be adopted. These are contractual requirements as these
are also part of MoRD specifications for Rural Roads.
(a) Construction of rural roads may comprise mostly construction of road stretch and
construction of cross drainage structure. Fig. 14.16 shows the layout of signs for road construction
and Fig. 14.17 shows layout for construction of cross drainage structure.
(b) Table 14.18 gives the section-wise details of temporary traffic control measures to be
adopted.

Development, Govt. of India has been followed.
15.2. Construction Equipment
Construction by manual means and simple tools has been considered for the project as per the
guideline of NRRDA. For handling of bulk materials like spreading of aggregates in sub-base & base
courses by mix-in-place method, use of motor grader & tractor-towed rotavator is allowed in line with
the schedule of rate for PMGSY work. Compaction of all items shall be done by ordinary smooth
wheeled roller if the thickness of the compacted layer does not exceed 100 mm. It is also considered
that, hot mix plant of medium type & capacity with separate dryer arrangement for aggregate shall
be used for bituminous surfacing work that can be easily shifted. A self-propelled or towed bitumen
pressure sprayer shall be used for spraying the materials in narrow strips with a pressure hand
sprayer. Now the vibratory rollers are also being used for rapid progress.
For structural works, concrete shall be mixed in a mechanical mixer fitted with water measuring
device.
The excavation shall be done manually or mechanically using suitable medium size excavators.
After setting out existing ground shall be scarified to a minimum depth of 150 mm and leveled
manually and compacted with ordinary roller to receive the first layer of earthwork. In filling area,
existing embankment will be generally widened on both sides as per the alignment plan. Continuous
horizontal bench, each at least 300 mm wide, shall be cut on the existing slopes for bonding with the
fresh embankment/ sub grade material as per Cl 301.7.
Material from borrow pits are used for embankment construction as well as the approved
material deposited at site from roadway cutting and excavation of drain & foundation may be used.
Layer of the earth is be laid in not more than 25 cm (loose) thick layers & compacted each layer of the
soil up to 30 cm below the sub grade level if road is designed for upto 2 MSA and it is 50 cm if road is
design for more than 2 MSA as per IRC 37 at OMC to meet 97% of Standard Proctor Density.
Material for embankment and sub-grade shall satisfy the requirements of Table 300-1 and 300-
2 as per the MoRD Specification for Rural Roads (First revision) published by IRC in 2014.
15.3.3. Sub-grade
Material of specified CBR as per design is used for construction of top 30 cm as sub-grade for
road designed upto 2 MSA and 50 cm, for roads designed for more than 2 MSA. Soil in these sections
is quite good for road construction. Top 30 cm upto the sub grade level and shoulder at OMC to meet
100 % of Standard Proctor Density by proper control of moisture and by required compaction with a
smooth wheeled roller.
15.3.4. Sub-base
Sub base material in the form of stone aggregates and sand as available in the area is used in
GSB layer.
15.3.5. Base
Stone aggregates is used in base course. 63 mm to 45 mm size (Grading 2) aggregate has been
proposed for the bottom layer and 53 mm to 22.4 mm (Grading 3) size has been proposed for the top
layer. WBM screening used have PI less than 6. If WMM layer is done then grading are of as per
Section 400 (Table 400.12) of MORD specification and fraction passing 425 micron sieve have PI less
than 6. WMM is allowed only with WMM plant and spreading with Paver or Motor grader. 100%
compaction OMC is required.
15.3.6. Shoulder
Earthen shoulder will be constructed in layers and compacted to 100% of Proctor’s Density. First
layer of is laid after the sub–base layer is laid. Thereafter earth layer shall be laid with base layer of
pavement and compacted.
15.3.7AStructural Bituminous layer BM/ DBM/ SDBC/ BC etc.
15.3.7. Wearing Course
Slow setting bitumen emulsion has been proposed as primer on water bound layer. Emulsion is
sprayed on surface with pressure distributor. Rapid setting bituminous emulsion is used for Tack coat.
To ensure proper quantity of Emulsion for primer and Tack Coat Engineer incharge will check the
length of spreading for one drum of Emulsion as per carriageway width.
Premixed carpet and mixed with equivalent viscosity grade bitumen shall be laid as surfacing
course. 6 mm thick Type B seal coat is considered for sealing of the premixed carpet.
Environmental analysis (EA) is a key part of the planning process for a new road. It presents the
opportunity to look at alternative proposals, discuss the negative and positive impacts of a given
project, look at ways to mitigate negative impacts and plan for funding for those mitigation measures,
incorporate the ideas and thoughts of local citizens impacted by the project, avoid delays once the
project is under construction, and come up with an optimized, improved plan for the project. The
environmental analysis for the proposed road is thus presented.
CO2 equivalent for Green House Gas emissions for various construction and maintenance
activities for the proposed road has been calculated. It contains detailed analysis of two cases; carbon
emission calculation for case one where road would have been constructed using conventional
technology without modifying any process parameter and other where the actual process is followed
using new material/technology under the category of green technology.

16.5. Alignment
The proposed road has planned to be designed considering the impact on environment.
Proposed road alignment follows existing pathway to the maximum extent so that huge land
acquisition is not necessary for construction of the project road. Proposed road, when completed, will
be an addition to the aesthetics of this rural area.
16.6. Environmental Sensitive Area (National Park, Wild Life Sanctuary, Protected
/Reserve Forest, Wet land etc.)
The alignment is finalised avoiding the environmental sensitive area such as National Park, Wild
Life Sanctuary, Protected /Reserve Forest, Wet land etc. It is also necessary to maintain the minimum
distance of 500 m of the project road from environmental sensitive area.
Construction camps will be established away from forest area/water body. The minimum
facilities such as water supply, sanitation, storm water drainage, solid waste management and first aid
box will be provided during the construction period of the project. Necessary provision for
rehabilitation or restoration after the completion of construction phase will be done.
• Consent to establish (CFE) and Consent to Operate (CFO) - This is required for Plant Hot Mix Plant,
WMM Plant, Batching Plant required for the project and the same will be taken by the Contractor from
SPCB.
• Lease from Mines & Geology- This will be taken by the Contractor for new Stone Quarry required
for the project.
16.9. Borrow area
The filling soil will have to be procured from borrow pit. Borrow area will be so excavated that
the lands can reused as agricultural field. The depth of borrow pit shall not exceed 450 mm (150 mm
top soil included). The top soil shall be stripped and stacked and shall be spread back on the land. As
far as possible the borrow pits shall not be dug close to the road embankment. The Redevelopment of
borrow area will be done before closure of the same and it will be as per agreement between
landowner and the Contractor.
16.10. Erosion Control
Turfing of the embankment slopes and earthen shoulder to prevent erosion of slopes of the
embankment, rain cuts and erosion of shoulder is being suggested.
16.11. Drainage
Suitable cross drainage structures have been provided on the basis of hydrological survey of the
area. So, there will be no obstruction to the natural drainage of the area. Road side drainage is also
duly considered in a manner so that surface water is led to the low points and is drained through the
CD structures.
17.1. General
In order to promote cost-effective, locally relevant, ‘Green’ and fast construction technologies in
the construction of rural roads, using New materials / Waste materials / Locally available materials,
NRIDA has issued ‘Guidelines on Technology Initiatives’, in May 2013. The States have been asked to
propose at least 10% of the length of annual proposals using any of the new technologies, for which
specifications of Indian Roads Congress (IRC) are already available and an additional length of 5% of
annual proposals with any of the new technologies for which specifications of Indian Roads Congress
are not available, including materials accredited by IRC.
The states need to follow the above guidelines while submitting the proposals under PMGSY.
The details of some of the materials/ technologies for which IRC specifications are available and for
which specifications are not available are given below:
Technologies with IRC Specifications
• Lime stabilization
• Cement stabilization
• Bitumen stabilization
• Use of Fly Ash/Pond Ash
• Lime fly ash stabilized Bases

• Quarry Waste Materials
• Slope Stabilization, Bamboo Piling etc.
• Cell Filled Concrete, Paneled Concrete
17.1. General
Climate resilient infrastructure endures the impacts of climate related events. Changes in the
climate involve changes in temperature, precipitation, melting of glaciers, storm activity, river flow,
wind speeds and much more. Road infrastructure being totally exposed to the vagaries of nature is
highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, the adverse effects of which apart from the
physical damage to the road network can affect a country’s economy.
Climate change impacts the road infrastructure in various ways: high precipitation and flooding
increases the risk of rendering the drainage system inadequate resulting in damage to the road
drainage structures, scouring of bridge foundations, breaching of road embankments, submergence
of road sections, landslides, rock falls and erosion resulting in disruption of traffic, road closure for
indefinite period and weakening of pavement; and exposure of areas along the river basins to
flooding causing frequent closure of the roads. Floods may lead rivers to change their course, thus
rendering previously safe roads at risk of being flooded.
In the view of above, to ensure increased resilience and environmental sustainability of the
rural road various climate resilient measures are proposed for this roads project. List of all such
measures is as follow:
2.1 Gradients.

19.1. General
Rates for various item of works of the project have been derived from the “Schedule of Rates
2019 for Road works, Culvert works & Carriage etc. West Bengal Rural Development Agency
(WBSRDA) and “Addendum & Corrigendum to Schedule of Rates” effective from January. However in
general the basic rates of material have been taken from WBSRDA SOR 2019. The rates of different
items have been worked out inclusive of all labour charges, hire charges of Tools & Plants,
Machineries and all other cost estimates for the item of work, overhead and contractor’s profit @
12.5% and 1% cess on these. In respect of Long Span Bridges, the overhead and contractor’s profit
should be at the rate of 20%. Further, the GST should not be included in the individual items and it
should be included @ 12% of total project cost separately in the abstract estimate.
For bituminous materials, basic rate at Haldia for equivalent viscosity grade bitumen and for
emulsion the basic rate of Haldia has been considered as suggested in from West Bengal Rural
Development Agency(WBSRDA). Basic rate of other materials like coarse & fine sand, cement are as
per the latest from West Bengal Rural Development Agency (WBSRDA).
Basic rate of steel materials at sub-divisional office has been considered in analysis after adding
cost of carriage, loading & unloading.
19.3. Lead for Materials
For stone aggregates and sand, lead from source to work site is calculated from the district map
and block level map of core network and finalizing the same in discussion with PIU. The supply of
different materials to worksite is by road. Lead for bituminous & steel materials are similarly obtained
using SOR (WBSRDA). The details of Rate Analysis are presented in Format F8.

1.1 Design
The Wheel load appropriate for the traffic condition is 50 KN
CBR Value 5% (Given)
Value of k = 4.2 kg/cm2/cm = 0.042 N/mm2/mm (Approx.)
(Corrosponding to CBR values for Homogeneous soil sub grade)
Providing Sub Base 100 mm GSB
75 mm WBM GR III
1.2 Effective value of K
After increasing k value 20 percent for the provided Sub Base
Hence, Effective value of k = 0.0504 N/mm2/mm
1.3 Concrete Strength
Adopting 28 day Compressive Strength (f c) 30.00MPa
Flexural Strength (ff) 3.83MPa
Hence 28 day flexural strength 3.83MPa
90 day flexural strength 4.22MPa
1.4 Thickness
Let us try with a thickness of 165 mm
1.5 Edge Load Stress
Design wheel load (P) 5000 kg
Pavement Slab thickness (h) 16.5 cm
Poisson's Ratio (μ) 0.15
Modulus of Elasticity for Concrete (E) = 3x10 5 N/mm2 300000 kg/cm2
Reaction Modulus of the Pavement foundation (K) 5.04 kg/cm3
Assuming a contraction joint spacing of 3.75m & 3.00m width, the Radius of relative stiffness (l) is as
under
Length (L) 187.5 cm
Breadth (B) 187.5 cm
Radius of relative stiffness (l) = [Exh3/12x (1- μ2)xk]0.25 69.097 cm
L/l = 2.714
B/l = 2.714
Radious of contact area (a) 22.59 cm
Ratio a/h 1.369
b = radius of resisting section = a ;
if a/h >=1.724 or b = (1.6*a^2)+h^2)^(1/2)-0.675*h if a/h =<1.724
Radius of resisting section (b) 21.86 cm
Max. temperature differences during day between top & bottom of the slab (∆t)= 15.84 0C
Coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete ( α) =10x10-6 per 0C 1E-05
Bradbury's Coefficient "C" 0.1363
Temperature Stress in the Edge region (σ te) = ((Exαxdt)/2)xC = 3.239 kg/sq.cm
0.3239 Mpa
Total Stress = Edge Load Stress + Temperature Stress = 3.41 Mpa
This is less than allowable flexural strength of 4.22 Mpa So the thickness assumed is adequate.

Note :-
Following the philosophy from IRC: SP-72-2015, regarding seasonal variation of traffic flow pattern between lean period and peak harvesting season, here in respect of
the surveyed road, the lean season traffic volume is estimated (based on the information collected and local enquiries during the traffic survey) to be 60% of the peak
harvesting season traffic volume that is observed. After the upgradation of road and when opened to traffic, it is presumed and estimated based on the information
collected and local enquiries during the traffic survey that it is going to attract and generate more trips and hence will add to developmental traffic and thus will result
in the rise of traffic. It is observed that the design service volume (PCU/Day) compatible with intermediate lane road (5.5m) requirement as per IRC:64-1990 will be
reached by the year 2027. Hence, intermediate lane road is recommended.
