6.4.11 Concrete Grades: Rigid Flooring

This document provides details on the feasibility report for the construction of bridges and approaches on the Tamu - Kyigone - Kalewa Road in Myanmar from km 0.00 to km 149.70. It outlines the concrete grades, reinforcement, bearings, and protection works to be used. Concrete grades for different components range from M35 to M45. Thermo Mechanically Treated Bars conforming to IS: 1786 shall be used for reinforcement. Elastomeric bearings with seismic arrestors are proposed due to the high seismic zone. Protection works include rigid flooring with curtain walls and a 1m thick flexible apron of loose stone boulders.

KD5 :Final Feasibility Consultancy Services for Preparation of Feasibility Report for Construction of Bridges including

Report including Schedules Approaches on Tamu – Kyigone – Kalewa Road Section from km 0.00 to km 149.70 in Myanmar

guidelines issued by MoRTH India. A leveling course in M15 grade concrete has been provided
under the approach slab.
6.4.11 Concrete grades
The grades of concrete for different bridge components are as follows.
Retaining Wall - M35
Deck Slab - M45
Pile and Pile cap - M35
Substructure - M35
Super structure of RCC Bridges - M45
Super structure of PSC Bridges - M45
6.4.12 Reinforcement
Thermo Mechanically Treated Bars (TMT) conforming to IS: 1786 shall be used for reinforcement
of super-structure, sub-structure and foundations. The minimum lap length of reinforcement bars
shall be kept as 63 times the diameter of bar and not more than 50% of the bars shall be lapped at
one location.
6.4.13 Bearings
Type of bearings to be adopted depends upon the length of the span, loads, forces, movement and
seismic zone in which the project road falls. Since the proposed bridges fall in high seismic
hazardous zone, Elastomeric type bearings with longitudinal and transverse seismic arrestors are
proposed.
6.4.14 Protection Works
There is the requirement of protection to provide adequate protection work against scour. The floor
protection work comprises of rigid flooring with curtain wall and flexible apron so as to check
scour, washing away or disturbance by pumping action etc. The arrangement of floor protection
work shall be as follows:
 Rigid Flooring
The rigid flooring shall be provided under the bridge and it shall extend for a distance of at least 3m
on u/s side and 5m on d/s side of the bridge. In case of splayed wing wall the flooring shall extend
up to the line connecting the end of wing wall on either side of the bridge.
 Curtain Wall
The rigid flooring shall be enclosed by curtain walls.
 Flexible Apron
Flexible apron, 1m thick comprising of loose stone boulders shall be provided beyond the curtain
wall.

Break-up of structures according to length of structures is as under inTable 6.4
