13 :- Provision of an Reinforced cement concrete crash barrier at the edges of
the road, approaches to bridge structures and medians, constructed
with M-40 grade concrete with TMT Fe-500 D reinforcement conforming
to IRC:21 and dowel bars 25 mm dis. 450 mm long at expansion joints
filled with pre-moulded asphalt filler board, keyed to the structure on
which it is built and installed as per design given in the enclosure to
dimensions in the approved drawing and at locations directed by the
Engineer all as specified with friction slab as per drawing.
809. CONCRETE CRASH BARRIERS
809.1. General
809.1.1. This work shall consist of construction, provision and installation of concrete
crash barrier at the edges of the road and median at locations and of dimensions as shown on
the drawings or as directed by the Engineer.
809.1.2. Concrete barrier shall generally be located on approaches to bridge structures,
at locations where the embankment height is more than 3 meters and at horizontal curves.
809.2. Materials
809.2.1. Ail materials shall conform to section 1000-Materials for Structures as
applicable, and relevant clauses in section 1600 shalt govern the steel reinforcement. The
concrete barriers shall be constructed either by the "cast-in-place with fixed forms "method or
the "extrusion or slip form" method or a combination thereof at the contractor's option with the
approval! of the Engineer. Where "extrusion or slip form" method is adopted, full details of the
method and literature shalt be furnished.
809.2.2. Concrete barriers shall be constructed with M 40 grade concrete and with TMT Fe 500
D Reinforcement conforming to IRC: 21
809.2.3. An expansion joint with pre-moulded asphalt filler board shall be provided at the
junction of crash barrier on structure and crash barrier on the filt. The crash barrier on the fill
shall be constructed in pieces of length not exceeding 20 m, with pre-moulded asphalt filler
board Joints.
809.3. Construction Operations
809.3.1. The location of crash barrier shall be strictly adhered to as shown on the drawing -and
as directed by the Engineer. Concrete crash barriers shall present a smooth, uniform
appearance in their fine! position, conforming to the horizontal and vertical lines shown on the
plans or as ordered by the Engineer and shall be free of lumps sags or other irregularities The
top and exposed faces of the barriers shall conform to the specified tolerances, as defined in
Clause 809.4 when tested with 3 m straight edge, !aid on the surface,
809.3.2. When concrete barriers are to be constructed on recently completed bridges,
the height of the barriers shall be adjusted to compensate for the camber and dead toad
deflection of the superstructure. The amount of adjustment shalt be determined by the
Engineer and shall be ordered before the concrete is placed. Such barriers shalt be placed
after formwork has been released and as tong after the superstructure construction as possible
without hampering the progress of the work.
809.3.3 Back filing to the concrete barriers shall be compacted in layers to the
compaction of the surrounding earthwork.
809.4. Tolerance - The overall horizontal alignment of rails shall not depart from the
road alignment by more than :l: 30 mm, nor deviate in any two successive lengths from straight
by more than 6 mm and the faces shall not vary more than 12 mm from the edge of a 3 m
straight edge. Barriers shall be at the specified height as shown in the plans above the edge of
the nearest adjacent carriageway or shoulder, within a tolerance of 30 mm.
809.5. Measurements for Payment
All barriers will be measured by linear metres of completed and accepted length in
place, corresponding end to end along the face of concrete barriers including approach and
departure ends.
809.6. Rate
The Contract unit rate shall include full compensation for furnishing all labour tools,
materials, equipment and incidental costs necessary for doing all work involved in constructing
the concrete barrier complete in place in all respects as per these Specifications
