ELEVATED VIADUCTS OF ACCESS-CONTROLLED DELHI-GURGAON EXPRESSWAY SECTION OF NH-8

Precast Pre-tensioned girders integrated with cast-in-situ diaphragms and deck slabs were used on a large scale for the superstructure of the 2 x 4 lanes ( Front Cover) of the access-controlled expressway incorporating several grade separators aggregating 11 km of stilted structure. Constructed to the orders of the National Highways Authority of India, this BOT project is characterized by high quality, superior form-finished concrete with an eye on simple structural elegance, durability, economy and standardization. The requirement of precasting 1800 girders was met through a casting yard comprising 14 beds and a process of steam-curing to obtain a time cycle of upto 4 girders a day. Specially fabricated low-bedded trailors were deployed to transport the 30 m long girders (weight 60 t) to the site and a pair of Goliath cranes operating in tandem was then used for their erection (A). A pair of 150t tyre-mounted mobile cranes was also engaged at designated locations for the purpose (B). The erection methodologies are shown in the insets of the Front Cover. Special highlights of the designs were the integral sharply curved (radius 50 m) prestressed cast-in-situ box girder continuous decks for the horse-shoe loop connections towards the international (C and D) and domestic terminals of the IGI airport of Delhi (Back Cover). Also, post-tensioned precast girders of 40 m length (weight 120t) were employed for obligatory spans at major crossings. The concept of hanging girders was exploited advantageously to maximize road usage for ground level traffic (Front Cover).
