Causeway

The document discusses the design and construction of river crossings like causeways and low-level bridges on rural roads in India. It outlines different types of causeways, including non-vented, vented, high-level causeways and low-level bridges. It also covers topics like common causes of causeway failure, previous design guidelines, terminology, characteristics of past causeways, discharge and scour calculations, protection works, and the relative merits and ideal sites for high-level causeways versus low-level bridges. The document provides guidance on the general and special features of well-designed causeways and river crossings.

Hello everyone,

I am preparing a proposal for river bridge whose site condition are as listed below-

1. This will be a river bridge. The width of river is around 550 metre having water depth varies from 10-22 metre.

2. There is a dam on downstream side of proposed bridge alignment so generally water in the river is remains at Full Tank Level of the Dam.

3. Some times the water reduces up to 5-10 metre in the river which is uncertain and fully depends on the amount of water used by dam authority/ rain fall and
other which is beyond of over control.

4. Below 3-5 metre of river bed hard rock is available basically of basalt type hard one.

5. River is flowing in a definite channel.


So please guide me that in this kind of situation which type of foundation, super structureis suitable from economy, aesthetic and ease in construction point of
view.

WhDear Sir,

i'm designing 10.5m height retaining wall above 12m height plumb concrete.the slope of excavation is in 1:2 (against rock face (slate rock)) for plumb concrete and
getting base of around 6.5m flat base and 9.0m projected base according to rock slope. at the time checking the base pressure at bottom of plumb concrete can I

considered flat base and projected base ?. above plumb retaining wall is designed to resist soil pressure and surcharge (Road is proposed). at span arrangement is
more suitable in this case. Kindly put some light on methodology of working in such a water depth.

the design and construction of causeways and low level submersible bridges on Indian rural roads. These
causeways are often used to provide river crossings to link villages with neighbouring towns, but are often
easily damaged because inadequate resources have been allocated to their construction. The main types
of causeway are: (1) non-vented causeways; (2) vented causeways; (3) high level causeways and low
level submersible bridges. The topics considered are: (1) common modes of failure of causeways,
especially in very wet weather; (2) previous guidelines for causeway design; (3) terminology used in the
paper; (4) types of causeway; (5) characteristics of causeways constructed in the past; (6) discharge
calculations; (7) protection works; (8) scour depth calculations; (9) relative merits of high level causeways
and low level submersible bridges; (10) ideal sites for causeway construction; (11) general features of
well-designed causeways; (12) special features of well-designed causeways.
