Sub:- WORK METHOD STATEMENT FOR FIXING OF EXPANSION JOINT


IN MINOR BRIDGES AT BL ROAD PROJECT
LOCATION/EXTENT/DESCRIPTION OF WORK:
This methodology of fixing of Expansion Joint in minor bridges is
applicable from 0.00 to 53.410KM of NH-60.
MATERIAL REQUIREMENT WITH SPECIFICATION:
1) EDGE BEAM- SSCM2A Frame Rail to be ASTM-A36/A588
(Imported from M/s DS Brown Co USA)
2) All anchors conform to IS-2062 or Equivalent
3) Neoprene seal (Gland) (Imported from M/s DS Brown Co USA)
4) M30 grade concrete
DRAWING REFERENCE:
1) DETAILS OF STEELFLEX STRIPSEAL EXPANSION JOINT – Drg. No-
CSE/L&T/BALASORE/25/02, Dtd-06.05.02
HOW THE WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT:
1) Traffic will be diverted over one deck (one carriageway) while the work
of expansion joint fixing will be carried out for the other deck of the
joint.
2) Blockout is to be prepared of size as shown in the drawing under
reference. The block depth will be chipped off, if required, to the
required size so as to accommodate the rail assembly.
3) Prepare a lean mix of sand & cement in the ratio 15:1. The mix is to be
spread into the whole blockout to obtain a dummy base, which is to be
removed later on. The mix is to be compacted & levelled to the
existing level of the concrete at both sides. A ply board is to be fixed at
the bottom of the joint before applying the mix so that the mix is not
leaked out .It also helps in good compaction of the mix.
4) The approved wearing coat will be laid through out the bridge. It
should include the expansion joint covered with (sand + cement)
mortar.
5) The wearing coat will be thoroughly compacted to the required
specification.
6) The wearing coat over the joint i.e. 320mm on either side of the center
line of the joint will be marked & cut out of place to place the
expansion joint. The (sand+cement) mortar inside the expansion joint
will also be removed to obtain a clear joint. The ply board fixed inside
will be removed.
7) Blockout should be cleaned thoroughly & must be free of dirt & debris.
No loose concrete should be present in blockout.
8) Fix the 12 MS cross bar will be placed as shown in the drawing &
tied /welded with the reinforcement of deck.
9) The rail assembly is to be lowered into the blockout & leveled to grade
with temporary adjustment device.
10) The anchor bar of the rail assembly is to be tied with the bridge rebar
as well as 12 MS cross bar. It may be welded for proper rigidity &
level. It is to be ensured that both rails of a joint are at one level.
11) Thermocol is to be put at the middle of the joint to maintain a gap of
40mm.The system Formwork is to be prepared at both ends ensuring
no leakage of concrete.
12) The temporary adjustment device should be removed.
13) Slurry will be prepared using NITOBOND SBR (A styrene butadiene
emulsion from M/s Fosroc (leaflet attached), WATER & CEMENT in the
ratio of 1:4:5. This will be applied to all the inside surfaces of the joint
to get a tacky & bonding surface.
14) The M30 grade concrete, as per approved mix design, is to be poured
& vibrated well inside & outside the rebars allowing the concrete to
flow easily to all sides.
15) The concrete is to be leveled with precaution so that the both sides of
the joint are at same level with respect to the adjacent wearing coat to
have a smooth riding quality at the joint.
16) The system Formwork is to be removed after the concrete is set. The
themocol is to be removed to have a clear gap of 40mm in between
the two rails.
17) Curing is to be continued at least for 14 days.
18) Hot liquid bitumen is to be poured over the joint in between asphalt
wearing coat & deck concrete. This will provide a leak proof joint.
19) Grease or any lubricating substance will be applied inside the rail to
allow easy access of the gland into the rail.
20) The gland is to be inserted into the joint from one end to the other end
by pulling & pushing manually.
21) Traffic may be allowed after 14days of curing period of the concrete.
TECHNICAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:-
1) Neoprene seal to be continuous.
2) Edge beam assembly is to be checked for straightness.
3) Main reinforcement at the deck to be integrated with the anchor
loops / cross bars for proper bond & anchorage.
4) The grade of concrete in blockout should not be less than that of
deck slab i.e. M30
5) The concrete in the blockout shall be cured continuously for 7
days before installation of glands.
6) The gap between the two blackouts is to be maintained at 40mm
in reference to the drawing CSE/L&T/BALASORE/25/02, Dtd-
06.05.02 considering the average installation temperature at NH-
60 as 27.5 0C.
SAFETY MEASURES:-
1) Proper traffic diversion signboards will be put at both sides to divert
the traffic over the intended carriageway.
2) Suitable Personnel Protective equipment (PPE) will be used by the
workers.
