Erection Of Superstructure In Metro Viaduct

By

ERECTION OF SUPERSTRUCTURE

●      Erection is done during night because road traffic is less and space required is available.
●      Care should be taken that work is done at least 6 m away from of electric wires and poles.
●      There should not be any traffic or anything prone to damage within swing area.
●      Cranes are used to lift and place the structure. One crane is used for erecting pier cap and two cranes for erecting U Girder
●      Location of crane is decided upon following factors :
○      Size and weight of superstructure.
○      Area available free from utilities.
○      Boom length and boom angle as decided by engineer.
○      Swing Area.
○      Location of trailer truck.
●      Crane rests with its arms.
●      Steel plates are kept below the arms so that load is transferred uniformly to ground over larger area.
●      Counter Weight is decided upon following factors :
○      Weight of crane, boom, hook, chains, structure to be loaded.
○      Ground reactions at all fours crane arms is calculated.
○      Moment of all the forces is balanced about a point.
●      Boom length and boom angle is decided upon load chart of the crane which is provided by crane manufacturers.
●      Before the erection once trial swinging is done without load, to check the alignment and positioning.
●      Structure is then lifted and placed.
○      Pier cap on pier.
○      Girder on pier cap.
●      Surveyors play a important role in positioning the structure accurately as desired.
●      For pier cap temporary steel support is given and stitching is done by pouring concrete in the hollow region left.
Girders are rested on neoprene rubber pads bolted with steel plates with structural glue applied on both surfaces for shear load transferring.

                                          Girder ●       Girder is the superstructure of viaduct on which the rail tracks are laid and train runs. ●       It rests on the piers, one at each end. ●       Since we have two tracks, each pier supports four U girders (two on each side) ●       U girder weighs around 140 Tons and is 25 m long. There are 3 bed in the Casting Yard for both U girders and pier cap – • Caging Bed • Casting Bed • Curing Bed Each Bed is Capable of Making four Girders simultaneously in a row. Methodology : 1.     Four Cages are fixed at the Cage Bed. 2.     Cleaning And Oiling of Mould/Shuttering of Casting bed is done. 3.     Lifting Of Cage and Shifting to Casting Bed is done. 4.     End Shutters are fixed. 5.     High Tensile Stress (HTS) Cable and Pre-tensioning prestressing cables are placed. 6.     Inner Shutters are fixed. 7.     Pre tensioning of prestressing steel is done. 8.     Concrete of Specific grade of Concr

Incredible Mallakhamb, India

                                                                *Incredible Mallakhamb*                                                     *The game of Power And Perfect Balance* Mallakhamb is one of the oldest sports in India. It allows human body to exercise all the body parts easily. In my opinion Mallakhamb is the only sport which anyone have to starts from the infant age because at this age the muscles are more flexible and it helps in exercising easily. At the middle age the muscles becomes less flexible and it requires too hardwork to make it flexible. Mallakhamb is a sport which is most popular in only two states of India. 1. Madhya pradesh 2. Maharashtra Other states are also doing this but in smaller Level. Infact, In 2013 Madhya Pradesh Government Declared Mallakhamb as the State Game.In my Opinion Mallakhamb sport has a power to go in the Olyampics in some years. Mallakhamb is the only sport which anyone cannot do . Like cricket, Football, basketball, Ka

 Mumbai- Ahmedabad High Speed rail Project - A dream of many Indian Citizens. I think I’m enough competent to answer this question as in recent workshop with the Industry experts from Germany, Italy, Singapore, Japan, Thailand and Malasiya organized by Asian Development Bank Institute we have analysed the most potential high speed rail routes in India and overseas and discussed on various parameters like Economic benefits, Environmental aspects, Challenges, stakeholder management, Engineering aspects, Multi-modal Integration, Asthetics, Reduction in Carbon footprints etc. I can share one of the snap of the discussion. In the discussion, We have reviewed many reports on different high speed rails like Shinkansen, Intercity express, Trains à Grande Vitess, Alta Velocidad Española etc. Experts have come to the conclusion that the most competitiveness of HSR is high in distance from 500–700 km when compared to other modes of transportation like air, road etc while connecting two major citi
