INSPECTION OF BRIDGE:-
An ideal site for a bridge across a river should have following characteristics.
1. Routine Inspection.
2. Detailed Inspection.
1. Routine Inspection:-
The routine inspection needs to look after the general examination of structure at regular
interval at the spots any defects or repaired immediately. The routine inspection is generally
carried out for short span bridges.
2. Detailed Inspection:-
In majority of cases the visual inspection of the bridge inspection is very difficult.
Similarly movement of the settlement may be deviation from the proper geometry of
the bridge.
The movement of the foundation can be checked by changing in alignment of the
bridge this in-deeds lateral movement of pier.
In case of open foundation dried season some portion for the foundation may be
visible in may bridge such portion may easily checked.
If the foundation examined indicated sine of detrition then the foundation should be
examine by excavation of soil around the foundation.
Such excavation should be avoided in the section where water table in high.
In such cases the ideal timing is when the water table at the lowest position.
LAYOUT OF BRIDGE:-
Grade alignment is very important in bridge construction if the grade alignment of a bridge is
very high it will cause inconvenience in travelling of vehicle. Due to this road accident ratio
may be increase.
It should be free from fault zone no excessive erosion of soil may be occurred.
c. Government Requirement:-
d. Public Requirement:-
e. Commercial Influence:-
The layout of the bridge should be in a such a manner that distraction of adjacent property
should be minimum.
DRAWING TO BE PREPARED:-
Index Map:-
The index map should be drawn to a scale of 1/50,000. It is a rough & basic drawing of the
area. This maps shows town & existing communication lines.
Contour Map:-
It is the topography of the area. It shows the elevation of different point the site with the help
of this map we can judge the slope of the area which is very important to drain out the flood
area.
Site Plan:-
The site plan should be drown on a suitable scale. It should show the detail of the site. The
site plan should include the following detailed.
I. Name of stream.
II. Nearest Market.
III. Outline of banks & river at High Flood Level (H.F.L) & Low Flood Level (L.F.L).
IV. Direction of flow.
V. The alignment of existing approaches & also alignment of purpose approaches.
VI. Position & reduce level of bench mark.
VII. Location of trial pits.
VIII. Location of Nallahs, walls & Buildings, out crops of rock & other possible
obstruction in the road alignment.
It provides reduce level of different point along the width. The horizontal & vertical scales
may be adopted as 1/1000 & 1/100 respectively. The cross section show the following
detailed.
Longitudinal Section:-
It shows different reduce level at different point along the length. It should be drawn to a
horizontal scale of 1/2500 & vertical scale 1/100. Longitudinal section show the following
information ordinary.
It is the area which provides the water to a particular site. In this map the hilly & plan area
should be computed separately then in this area we will estimate the amount coming to the
site for this amount of water we collect the data for hundred (100) years.
Soil Profile:-
Data obtained from sub soil exploration must show the following detailed.
Writing of Report:-
The report should be brief & to the point with neat sketches wherever possible.
If more than one site need consideration, the officer incharge should give his order of
preference with reasons.
For economy as well as speed it is necessary that the scope should be limited to actual
requirements.
Sketches should be drawn to show configuration of the river & its tributaries for a
distance of five to ten times its width on either side, rough levels, alignment & levels
of approaches, positions of hill, Nallahs, temples etc.
General Consideration.
Preliminary Investigations.
Layout of Boring.
