2. HIGHWAY DESIGN STANDARDS

2.1 General
The formulation of the design standards is required in order to avoid any inconsistency in
the design from one section to the other and to provide desired level of service and
safety. For this project, it is proposed to follow design standards as given in the manual
of “Specification and Standards for Six Laning of Highways through Public Private
Partnership” (IRC: SP:87-2019), published by Indian Road Congress, IRC codes,
guidelines and special publications; and MoRTH circulars as applicable to National
Highways. If any specific reference is missing in Manual, IRC and MoRTH
specifications then following standards shall be referred and the one considered the best
and most relevant shall be adopted:
• American Association of State Highway and Transport Officials (AASTHO)
• British Standards, Design Manual for Road and Bridges (DMRB)
• Any other National or International standard as considered suitable.

Latest version of the codes, standards, specifications etc., noted/published at least 60

days before the last date of bid submission will be used for design practice.

2.2 Design Elements

The geometric design of highway deals with the physical elements of the roadway
according to standards and constrains. Geometric design can be divided into two main
parts: Horizontal Curves and Vertical Curves. Vertical and Horizontal Curves together
provide three- dimensional layout for a roadway.

2.2.1 Terrain Classification

Project road predominantly passes through Plain terrain.

Location details of Terrain is given in Table 2.1

Table : 2.1
Design Chainage Type of Terrain
S No Length in (km)
From (Km) To (Km)
1 57+046 91+927 34.881 Plain

2.2.2 Design Speed

The design speed is a selected speed used to determine the various geometric design
features of the roadway. There are a number of factors involved in determining the
design speed of the particular road, including its functional classification, its geometric

 DESIGN BASIS REPORT FOR PROPOSED HIGHWAY

design, the actual operating speed of the road, the maximum speed limit permissible by
law, and the traffic volume of the road.

For National Highways, the preferable design speed shall be desirable(ruling) design
speeds as per IRC: SP:87-2019 i.e. 100 Kmph and minimum design speed is 80 kmph for
the plain/rolling terrain. The design speed is given in Table 2.2.
Table 2.2
Design Chainage Design Speed
S No Length in (km)
From (Km) To (Km)

2 Trumpet 57+246 As per interchange 40 kmph
interchange at design
57+046
Service / Slip/ connecting road
3 Total (BHS) 25.540 40 kmph

2.2.3 Design Traffic and Capacity

Traffic study are mainly required for working out required capacity of road for deciding
the width of carriageway, which has already been stipulated in Schedule B. Further, the
traffic study provides the total traffic in MSA for pavement design. The project corridor
being a green field alignment, there is no existing road where the traffic is plying.
Therefore, the traffic survey is not proposed to be carried out because this needs a
network study beyond the project jurisdiction, which have been done by DPR consultant
for the Authority and accordingly the project has been envisaged. Hence, the design
traffic of 100 MSA shall be adopted for pavement design as stipulated in Schedule
B.

2.2.4 Proposed Right-of-Way (ROW)

A Proposed Right of Way (PROW) of 60m as specified in Annex-II of Schedule-A shall
be made available for development of a 6-lane highway by the Authority. Additional
land shall be provided for Toll plaza, interchanges, Truck Lay byes, etc. as per design
requirement

state of Andhra Pradesh on HAM, Under Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-I
Page 7 of 26
 DESIGN BASIS REPORT FOR PROPOSED HIGHWAY

2.2.5 Width of Carriageway

The proposed width of carriageway of the Project Highway shall be 28m (2 x 10.5m
MCW + 2 x 1.5m Paved Shoulder + 2 x 2.0m Earthen Shoulder) excluding kerb shyness.
Width of carriageway shall be as per TCS given in Sch B.

2.2.6 Width of Median

Median will be provided including approaches to grade separated structure. Median
width shall be 5.0m including kerb shyness (0.5m on either side) as Annex-I of
Schedule-B.

2.2.7 Shoulders
In open country, paved shoulders of 1.5m width shall be provided and balance 2.0m
width of earthen shoulder shall be covered with 200mm thick layer of granular material
on outer each side of the Carriage way. At location of high embankment, the width of
paved shoulder has been proposed as 2.0m as per applicable TCS. The compositions and
specification of the paved shoulder and median edge strip shall be as that of the main
carriageway.

2.2.8 Cross fall

Camber for the carriageway, paved shoulders and kerb shyness shall be 2.5% for
bituminous surface and 2% camber for the concrete surface.
On super elevated sections, the paved shoulders will have the same cross fall as the
pavement and earthen portion of the shoulder on the outer side of the curve would be
provided with reverse cross fall of 0.5% so that the earth does not drain on the
carriageway and the storm water drains out with minimum travel path. The super-
elevation shall be restricted to 5% for desirable radius of curves and 7% for absolute
minimum radius of curves.

2.2.9 Speed Changing lanes

Entry Exit arrangement shall be provided as per alignment plans & Profile of the Project
specified in Annex-III of schedule A and as per IRC:SP:87-2019.

2.3 Geometric Design Standards For Main Carriageway

2.3.1 Horizontal Alignment

Generally, the alignment shall be followed as given in Annexure-III and Annexure-IV of
Schedule A. Since, the alignment shall be designed in such a way to accommodate all
elements of project highway within the acquired land, however, the major deviation, if
any, due to land constraints, shall be intimated along with submission of design and
drawings.

 DESIGN BASIS REPORT FOR PROPOSED HIGHWAY

2.3.2 Radius of Horizontal Curves

The desired minimum and absolute minimum radius as per IRC: SP:87-2019 given in the
Table 2.3 for plain and rolling terrain.

Table 2.3: Horizontal Radii

Terrain Desirable Minimum (m) Absolute minimum (m)

Plain/Rolling 400 250

2.3.3 Transition (Spiral ) Curve

Transition length at curve locations will be based on clause 9.5 of IRC:73-1980 that
gives minimum transition lengths for different speeds and curve radii.

2.3.4 Super Elevation

As per IRC:SP 87-2019, super elevation shall be limited to 7% if the radius of the curve
is less than desirable minimum. If the radius of curve is more than desirable minimum,
super elevation will be limited 5%. As per clause 9.3 of IRC:73-1980, for design speed
of 100kmph and camber of 2.5%, super elevation is not required for radius of curve
greater than 1800m for flexible pavement. Design formula and method of attaining super
elevation will be as per clause 9.3 of IRC:73-1980.

2.3.5 Sight Distance

Sight distances, in the context of road designs, is, how far a road user (usually a vehicle
driver) can see before the line of sight blocked by a hill crest, or an obstacle on the inside
of a horizontal curve or intersection. Insufficient sight distance can have implications for
the safety or operations of a roadway or intersection. The ability to see ahead is of
critical importance in the safe and efficient operation of a vehicle.
Sight distances are a direct function of the design speed, perception-reaction time, driver
eye height, object height and the coefficient of pavement friction.

2.3.6 Safe Sight Distance

Stopping sight distance is the distance travelled while the vehicle driver perceives a
situation requiring a stop, realizes that stopping is necessary, applied the brake, and
comes to a stop. Safe stopping sight distances for different design speed are given in
Table 2.4.

2.3.8 Vertical Alignment

Vertical Alignment will be designed in such a way that smooth longitudinal profile is
maintained to avoid kinks and visual discontinuities. As per clause 10.1 of IRC:73-1980,
there should not be change in grade within a distance of 150m. The desirable minimum
distance between consecutive Vertical Intersection Points of 150m will be maintained.

2.3.9 Gradients
The ruling and limiting gradients as per IRC: SP:87-2019 are given in Table 2.6.

A minimum gradient of 0.3% shall be provided to the extent possible along the project
highway.

2.3.10 Vertical Curve

Vertical curves are the second of the two Important transition elements in geometric
design for highways, the first being Horizontal curves. The design of the curves is
dependent on the intended design speed for the roadway, as well as other factors
including drainage, slope, acceptable rate of change, and friction. These curves are

parabolic and are assigned stationing based on a horizontal axis. Vertical curves shall be
provided at all grade changes exceeding 0.5%.
Vertical curves will be designed to provide for visibility as per the sight distance
described above in Table no- 2.4 & 2.5. All the summit curves shall be designed for
intermediate site distance as per Table-2.5 and all valley curves shall be designed for
Head light distance which is equal to Safe stopping Distance as given in Table-2.4. As
per IRC: 73-1980 and IRC: SP: 23 design standards, the minimum lengths of vertical
curves are 60m for design speeds of 100Kmph.

2.4 Design Standards for Service Roads And Connecting Roads

2.4.1 Design Speed

As per clause 2.12.2.4 of IRC: SP:87-2019, a design speed of 40Kmph shall be adopted.

2.4.2 Horizontal Curve Design

For a design speed of 40Kmph, the minimum radius of horizontal curve will be 60m in
plain and rolling terrain. However, it will follow the geometric design of MCW being
parallel to MCW except at Trumpet location.

2.4.3 Transition Curve Design

For a design speed of 40Kmph and curve radius of 60m, minimum transition length as
per Table 17 of IRC:73-1980 is 75m. However, it will follow the geometric design of
MCW being parallel to MCW except at Trumpet location.
