ABSTRACT
Our project deals with the Design of Fly over . The location is at five roads junction at SALEM . which is facing major traffic problems due to the construction. We have done a traffic survey and designed all the structural parts for this Fly over .
The Fly over is of 320 m length with 32 spans, 10 m per span. It consists of a deck slab, longitudinal girders, cross girders, deck beam, pier and foundation. Structural design of one span was made for all the above components. Slab is designed by Working stress method as per the recommendation of IRC: 21-2000, Clause 304.2.1.
Deck slab is designed for maximum moment due to deck action. the T beam designed as the IRC :21-2000. The deck beam is designed as a cantilever on a pier.
The Pier is designed for the axial dead load and live load from the slab, girders, deck beam.Foundation designed as footing for the safe load bearing in the soil. All the elements are designed by using M15 grade concrete and Fe415grade steel. Designs are based on Working stress and Limit state method as per IRC: 21-2000 and IS: 456-2000.

CHAPTER – 1
1.INTRODUCTION
Our nation being primarily an agricultural country. 90% of population is depending upon it and 10% of population depending upon industrial activities.
For conveying the product materials such as food grains, industrial goods the roads are essential.
The roads and bridges are very important for growth of economy of the country. Now our country is being developed by developing roads and bridges.
The loss of fuel for combustion and the associated cost resulting from waiting for the signal to change are also estimated, and these are found to be significant.
When it rains, it’s not just the roads that are water logged all other streets also get full with water so it’s easy to travel by flyover to get ease of rain water.
1.1.   OBJECTIVE :
The project area is having very high density of traffic flow. The public felt inconvenient to cross the busy five   roads   highways &therefore the flyover is essentially required at the junction.
For easy traffic flow of agricultural goods and industrial goods without traffic congestion flyover is essential to overcome the traffic congestion required.
All the drawings are drafted by Auto- CAD 2013 and analysis by STAAD pro vis8.
1.2 Types of roads and fly   over :
In our country there are so many types of roads are being constructed,
1) Cart roads
2) Minor district roads
3) Major district roads
4) Sate highway roads
5) National highways roads
6) Over pass fly over
7) Under pass fly over
1.3 Necessity of flyover :
For easy traffic flow of agricultural goods and industrial goods without traffic congestion flyover or over bridges is essentially to overcome the traffic congestion required.
1.4 Selection of site:
1) The following points are the guiding factors for selection of suitable site,
2) The roads are crossing perpendicular to each other.
3) The site should have more traffic congestion.
4) The availability of men and materials are to be ascertained
1.5 Location:
Construction of a flyover across five roads in Salem . The total length of flyover is 320m and width of 8m.
1.6 TRAFFIC SURVEY:
Traffic survey was made on 06.06.2016, inthe project site from 6.00 pm to7.00 pm. This time was selected on the basic of the past traffic study as an average of peak hour.
All the four arms of the site was observed and the number of vehicles passed was converted to PCU’s(Passenger car unit).
1.7 TRAFFIC PROJECTION:
The passenger car unit of a vehicle type has been found to be depends up on the size, and speed of the vehicle type and environment. They are not dependent on the flow and road width.
As per IRC: 92-2000, the traffic volume limit is10000PCUs/hour. The capacity of junction was estimated at 6547 PCS’s / hour. The design period is taken as 30 years. One year would be taken for the construction. So traffic is projection. So traffic is projected for 31 years.

2. DESIGN CONSIDERATION
2.1.1 SLAB:
Slabs are the plate elements which carry the loads primarily flexure. They usually carry vertical loads. Under the action of horizontal loads, due to a large moment of inertial they can carry quite large wind and earthquake forces, and transfer them to beams. A reasonable thickness of slab can act as a rigid diaphragm under the action of horizontal load the rigid diaphragm is plate whose all element displace equally in the direction of applied in plane loads. The slab with sufficient thickness acts as rigid diaphragm when in plane horizontal loads like wind or earthquake are acting on it due to its very large in plane moment of inertia. As a result, it constraints the connected column to deflect equally in given horizontal direction of wind or earthquake loads.
2.1.2 BEAM
Beams carry loads from slab and also direct loads such as masonry walls and their selfweights. The beam may be supported on the other beams or may be supported by column forming an integral part of the frame. Beams are primarily the flexural members.
2.1.3 COLUMN
Columns are the vertical members carrying loads from beams and from upper columns. The loads may be axial or eccentric. The importance of the column is greater than that of the beams and slab.
This is because, if one beam fails, it will be a local failure of one floor, but if one column fails, it can lead to collapse of a complete structure. The safety provisions adopted by the standards are therefore more for columns than for beams or slabs
2.1.4 FOUNDATION
Foundation is the load transmitting members. The loads from the columns and the walls to be transmitted to the solid ground through foundation.
2.2 LOAD AND STRUCTURE
The correct estimation of loads on a structure or a part of a structure leads the designer to the safe and economical design. It is very important that no load which is to be borne by the structure is over loaded.
Estimation of different types of loads expected to be borne by the structure throughout its design life. Different kinds of loads may be estimated by using respective Indian Standard Codes of practice.
Determination of worst combination of loads that may occur at one throughout the life of structure. The standard codes of practice give guidelines for this. All the loads are not expected at the same time for example, IS-875, wind and seismic force need not be considered as acting simultaneously. The earthquake is a rare phenomenon. It is therefore very unlikely that the maximum earthquake coincides with maximum of other occasional forces like wind, flood etc., therefore for the design purpose these are assumed not to occur simultaneously.
2.2.1TYPES OF LOADS:
DEAD LOAD:
Dead loads are the load due to self weight of structure or structural members. Dead loads and static loads remain reasonably constant throughout the life of a structure. The unit weight of different materials may be taken from IRC:21-2000 code of practice for design loads for the buildings and structures part 1 dead loads.
LIVE LOAD:
Live loads are loads which are not steady unlike the dead loads they can change their magnitudes. Live loads are comprehensively described in tables 1 and 2 IRC:21-2000 part 2 imposes loads.
IMPACT LOAD:
Impact load are the loads caused by the vibration of live loads.

1.0 Introduction
In April 2016, 81 new towns and cities were added to a list of areas prone to earthquakes, bringing the total to 107. In 2012, BIS has introduced special earthquake resistant steel in India standard 1786 for HYSD bars. But this still needs a mention in design code of IS 456 for design help. There are few manufacturers in India which make earthquake resistant steel with grade name as Fe 500 SD which can be used in seismic resistant designed buildings.

2.0 Seismic Force and its nature
Seismic Force and its nature
While the gravitational forces (dead weights, moving weights, weight from temporary structures) act downward, the wind forces act horizontal across the height of a structure. The seismic (or earthquake) forces are nothing but horizontal motion of the ground and it acts only at the base of a structure. Moreover while gravitational and wind forces are continuous (with respect to time) seismic forces are momentary and lapse only few milliseconds. Also the aftershocks of the earthquake act on the building on and off for several days.
3.0   Stiffness, Ductility& Tensile Testing
By definition Stiffness (k) = Force / Displacement
Stiffness, Ductility& Tensile Testing
Hence ductility will be inverse of stiffness i.e. 1/ k.
So Ductility is the amount of elongation for a unit increase in force.
A RCC structure can be made ductile in two ways:
1. By doing ductile design and detailing – In local and remote places the expertise is not available
2. By using ductile material – Concrete and brick cannot be ductile, hence only reinforcement can be ductile.
The rebars available in Indian market are ductile steel with elongation percentage of 12% and utilization ratio of 1.12. There is a new grade of steel which has elongation percentage of 18% and utilization ratio of 1.15. This new grade is called Super Ductile.
The properties of a super ductile thermo-mechanically treated rebar are as follows:

Total Elongation (in %)121857.5510
A brief definition of all the terms defining the mechanical properties of rebars:
YS – (Yield Stress) is the stress at which a 0.2% of plastic deformation is produced in steel rebar in tension.
UTS – (Ultimate Tensile Stress) is the maximum amount of stress sustained by a rebar in a tensile test before rupture.
Utilization ratio is the ratio of UTS and YS.
% Elongation is the ratio of total elongation of rebar and its original length expressed in percentage.
Utilization ratio and % Elongation together gives an estimate of amount of energy absorbed by the rebar specimen in a tensile strength before failure. (This is clear in the graph below)
While in Limit State and Working stress design methods, the strength of the steel guides the main reinforcement and its consumption, the ductility of reinforcement is important in calculating the shear bearing capacity of the structure. IS 13920 clearly specifies for ductile design, the elongation of rebar should be 14.5% and confirming to IS 1786.
GENERAL SPECIFICATION
The design and, construction of reinforced concrete buildings shall be governed by the provisions of IS 456 : 1978, except as modified by the provisions of this code.
For all buildings which are more than 3 storeys in height, the minimum grade of concrete shall be M20 (fcL = 20 MPa).
Steel reinforcements of grade Fe 415 (see IS 1786 : 1985) or less only shall be used.
However, high strength deformed steel bars, produced by the thermo-mechanical treatment process, of grades Fe 500 and Fe 550, having elongation more than 14.5 percent and conforming to other requirements of IS 1786 : 1985 may also be used for the reinforcement.

India has been plagued by some catastrophic earthquake tremors in past that have caused loss of property and human beings:
DateLocationEffectMagnitude

May 12, 2015Northern India, North East India, Bihar West Bengal (Epicenter at Nepal)218 (44 killed in India)7.3

January 26, 2001Gujarat20,0007.6/7.7
However, during the earthquake in New Zealand on 3rd September 2010 (magnitude on Richter’s scale: 7.0), only 2 people were injuredwhich was caused by falling masonry and glass. Interestingly, the said earthquake had struck when most people were asleep. Therefore it is clear that “EARTHQUAKES DON’T KILL PEOPLE, BUILDINGS DO!
According to BIS 1893-1966 (Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures), India was divided into 7 seismic zones, zone-0 to zone-VI. Later,In BIS 1893-1970, it was revised to zone-I to zone-V. Now, as per the latest version of BIS 1893-2002, zone-I has been merged with zone-II, and only seismic zones II to V exist (refer Figure 1) in India, where zone-II is the least earthquake prone zone, and zone-V is the highest.

HOW TO MAKE OUR BUILDING/STRUCTURE SAFE AGAINST EARTHQUAKE?
1. Proper seismic loading analysis (static and dynamic) as per BIS1893, load combinations and subsequent design engineering of various structural elements (footing, column, beam, slab, tie beam etc). [software namely ETABS, SAFE, STAAD Pro are the prevalent tools for analysis and engineering design]
2. Proper detailing of structural elements as per BIS13920:1993, reaffirmed 2003 (Ductile detailing of RC Structures Subject to Seismic Forces), which is applicable for seismic zones III, IV and V.
3. Retrofitting of existing structures supported on load bearing masonry walls.
SALIENT POINTS OF BIS1893 AND BIS13920 THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED DURING DESIGN ENGINEERING/DETAILING/CONSTRUCTION OF NEW RCC BUILDINGS/STRUCTURES LOCATED IN SEISMIC ZONES III, IV & V:
• During design using BIS1893, the structure should be designed as OMRF (Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame), if it is designed and detailed as per BIS456:2000, but not meeting ductile detailing requirement of BIS13920. However, if specially detailed to provide ductile behavior and comply to requirements of BIS13920, the structure should be designed as SMRF (Special Moment Resisting Frame), where R (response reduction factor, defined in BIS1893) is higher than that for OMRF, thus considering considerably less seismic base shear and making the structure more ductile and resistant to earthquake.
• On analysis, storey drift should never exceed (Storey height/250), as per BIS1893.
• Minimum grade of concrete to be used should be M20.
• High yield strength deformed steel bars, produced by the thermo-mechanical treatment process of grades Fe 500 and Fe 550 having elongation more than 14.5% and conforming to other requirements of BIS1786:2008 may be used for the reinforcement.
• Any reinforcement bar having higher elongation percent and UTS: YS ratio possesses better ductility. Thus satisfying Table 3 of BIS1786:2008, Fe500D and Fe550D use is advisable, where minimum elongation percent requirement is greater than 14.5%. Tata Tiscon has Fe500D rebar grade in market. The properties requirement of Fe500D as per BIS1786, and the properties available in Tata Tiscon Fe500D are given as follows:

• Apart from Fe500D grade, Tata Tiscon has “SD” (Super Ductile) grade of rebar, where “SD” is confirming to Fe500D requirements of BIS1786-2008, only having higher UTS/YS ratio, and hence better for highly seismic prone areas in India. However, “SD” grade of rebar is available at selected locations in India, which are highly seismic prone and generally falls in seismic zones IV and V. The features and properties requirement of “SD” versus “500D” grade is shown below. [refer Figures2 & 3]
Figure2  Fe500D vs SD (Higher UTS for same YS)
Figure2 : Fe500D vs SD (Higher UTS for same YS)
Figure3  Fe500D vs SD properties
Figure3 : Fe500D vs SD properties
• Anchorage of beam longitudinal bars beyond column face in an external beam-column joint = Ld + 10d, where Ld = development length in tension as per Cl. 26.2.1 of BIS456:2000, d = nominal dia of rebar. [refer Figure4]
• At location of rebar splice (lap), centre-to-centre spacing of stirrups should not exceed 150 mm. [refer Figure5]
• Minimum and maximum percentage of longitudinal reinforcement in beam should satisfy requirements of BIS13920. As shown in Figure 6, the spacing of stirrups should be satisfied. However, nowhere spacing of hoops should be less than 100 mm. Minimum dia of hoop bar should be 6 mm. In beams with clear span exceeding 5m, the minimum bar dia should be 8mm.

• Stirrups with 135o hook bend and 10d (>75mm) hook length should be mandatory used as per BIS13920. [refer Figure7] In this endeavor, Tata Tiscon have come up with such ready-made stirrups (Brand name: Super-links) available in all dealer counters across India.
Figure7 Wrong practice as per BIS13920

Figure7a: Correct practice as per BIS13920
• Special confining reinforcement should be provided in form of stirrups in all beam-column joints and column-footing joints, as per the provisions and clauses given in BIS13920. [refer Figure8]
• The spacing of hoops used as special confining reinforcement shall not exceed 1/4 of minimum member dimension but need not be less than 75 mm nor more than 100 mm.
• Shear walls are integral part of lateral load resisting system of the structure, and to show ductile behaviour, should be designed and detailed as per provisions and clauses given in BIS1893 and BIS13920.
• Percentage of permissible increase in Allowable Bearing Pressure, Resistance in soils, and minimum N-values (SPT value, i.e, standard penetration test value of soil) should satisfy table 1 of BIS1893.

=====================================================

What are the reasons for establishing minimum distance between bars and maximum distance between bars?


In some codes, a minimum distance between bars is specified to allow for sufficient space to accommodate internal vibrators during compaction.
On the other hand, the restriction of maximum bar spacing is mainly for controlling crack width. For a given area of tension steel areas, the distribution of steel reinforcement affects the pattern of crack formation. It is preferable to have smaller bars at closer spacing rather than larger bars at larger spacing to be effective in controlling cracks. Hence, the limitation of bar spacing beyond a certain value (i.e. maximum distance between bars) aims at better control of crack widths.
This question is taken from book named – A Self Learning Manual – Mastering Different Fields of Civil Engineering Works (VC-Q-A-Method) by Vincent T. H. CHU.

What is the purpose of critical steel ratio in concrete structures?


The purpose of critical steel ratio is to control the cracking pattern by having concrete failing in tension first. If steel reinforcement yields first before the limit of concrete tensile strength is reached, then wide and few cracks would be formed. In the calculation of critical steel ratio, the thickness of the whole concrete section is adopted for analysis. However, if the concrete section exceeds 500mm in thickness, only the outer 250mm concrete has to be considered in calculating minimum reinforcement to control thermal and shrinkage cracks. It is because experimental works showed that for concrete section greater than 500mm, the outer 250mm on each face could be regarded as surface zone while the remaining could be regarded as core. The minimum reinforcement to control cracking should therefore be calculated based on a total maximum thickness of 500mm.

What are the potential problems of excessive concrete covers?

In reinforced concrete structures cover is normally provided to protect steel reinforcement from corrosion and to provide fire resistance. However, the use of cover more than required is undesirable in the following ways:
(i) The size of crack is controlled by the distance of longitudinal bars to the point of section under consideration. The closer a bar is to this point, the smaller is the crack width. Therefore, closely spaced bars with smaller cover will give narrower cracks than widely spaced bars with larger cover. Consequently, with an increase in concrete cover the crack width will increase.
(ii) The weight of the concrete structure is increased by an increase in concrete cover. This effect is a critical factor in the design of floating ships and platforms where self-weight is an important design criterion.
(iii) For the same depth of concrete section, the increase of concrete cover results in the reduction of the lever arm of internal resisting force.

Construction industry at present is facing a major hike in material price, especially cement, sand and stone chips. The following document is prepared to highlight the reduction in concrete manufacturing cost upon using Fly Ash (BIS3812). The method of mix design has been done in reference with BIS10262-2009. Hope that any contractor over India will benefit from the given working and follow the suggested method to reduce their construction cost.
This will have the following advantages: (1) Reduction in use of construction materials which are facing scarcity now-a-days, (2) Reduction of construction cost for contractor, (3) Use of fly ash in a effective manner, which are generated as waste product from thermal power plants and various industrial plants, (4) Assisting in scientific disposal of waste product from thermal power plants and various industrial plants.
