2.6 Multiple Benefits for the Nation, Trade & Commerce and to the people of India
The Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) will contribute to India’s economic
development by freight transportation which is expected to undergo rapid growth in
the future.
This project enables a segregated electrified line for freight, parallel to the existing
railway line. This indirectly allows thepassenger trains to move faster in the existing
lines.
This line will allow double-stack with a height of 7.1 m through wider tracks of3.6 m
that allow longer train lengths of 1500 m that can travel at a faster rate of 100 kmph. For
the industry this means, reduced unit cost of transportation as DFC provides rail
infrastructure to carry higher throughput per train.
The route will also have lesser stations that fall only once every 30 - 40 km. The entire
corridor is expected to offer more axle load and an increased overall freight train load
by 3.5 times the current capacity. Again for the industry, this means a guaranteed, faster
transit at an economic tariff.
Apart from improving the overall transport efficiency of the national network, DFC will
help accelerate the nation-wide economic development as well as improve the
environment. Transportation of goods through DFC will consume less energy when
compared to truck mode and the gas emission is completely avoided along the DFC
alignment.
With the increase of trade and industrial development along the DFC, there will be an
increase in employment opportunities of the region.
DFCwill alsoimprove andexpand themarket foragricultural produce,forestry and
fisheries of the regions as the speedy and improved transportation mode will helpshrink
distances connecting the supply and demand points.

Retaining Wall
3.1 RETAINING WALL
Retaining walls are usually built to hold back soil mass. However, retaining walls can also be
constructed for aesthetic landscaping purposes. Retaining walls are structures that are
constructed to retail soil or any such materials which are unable to stand vertically by
themselves. They are also provided to maintain the grounds at two different levels.
3.1.1 Classification of Retaining wall
Following are the different types of retaining walls, which is based on the shape and the
mode of resisting the pressure.
3.1.2 Earth Pressure (P)
Earth pressure is the pressure exerted by the retaining material on the retaining wall. This
pressure tends to deflect the wall outward. There are two types of earth pressure and they
are;
Active earth pressure or earth pressure (Pa) and Passive earth pressure (Pp). Active earth
pressure tends to deflect the wall away from the backfill. Earth pressure depends on type of
backfill, the height of wall and the soil conditions.
SUMMER TRAINING REPORT | UPES, DEHRADUN 18

3.2 DESIGNING OF RETAINING WALL
Height of retaining wall above G.L = 4 m
SBC of Soil = 200 KN/m2
Density of soil = 18 KN/m3
Density of concrete = 25 KN/m3
Angle of Internal friction = 30o
Coefficient of friction between concrete and soil = 0.50
Fck = 415 N/mm2
Fy = 250 N/mm2
Diameter of bar = 12 mm
0.2m
tp= (1/3-1/4)b
H/10 –H/14
b= 0.4H to 0.6H
To fix the height of retaining wall,
H= h' +Df
Depth of foundation
Rankine’s formula: Df=SBC/ϒ((1-sinϕ)/(1+sinϕ))2
Ka= ((1-sinϕ)/ (1+sinϕ)) 2
Df =1.23m say 1.2m, therefore H= 5.2m
Proportioning of wall:
Thickness of base slab= (1/10 to 1/14) H, 0.52m to 0.43m, say 450 mm
Width of base slab=b = (0.5 to 0.6) H, 2.6m to 3.12m say 3m
Toe projection= pj= (1/3 to ¼) H, 1m to 0.75m say 0.75m
Provide 450 mm thickness for the stem at the base and 200 mm at the top

Road under Bridge
General Guidelines of Construction of RUB Approach Road
RUB Approach Road is proposed for smoothly connecting the RUB box face to existing
road. The slope of the road has to be minimum of 1:15.
The following are major components for construction of RUB approach road.
RUB approach retaining walls
RUB approach road cement concrete pavement
Drainage arrangement for RUB
Inspection steps/ steel ladder
Height gauge
Hump/ Speed Breaker
Steel roof between IR and DFCC RUB
Median/ Divider for Double Cell RUB
5.1 Construction of RUB Approach Road Retaining Walls
RUB approach road retaining walls are constructed on both sides of the RUB approach road
to prevent the existing earth to spill on the RUB approach road in case the road proposed in
cutting or withstand the earth filling for the RUB approach road in the case the alignment is
in filling.
The following types of Retaining Walls which are to be used for construction of RUB
Approach Road depending on the various loading conditions and availability of ROW.
5.1.1T-Type Retaining Walls
T-Type of retaining walls is most commonly used Retaining walls along the approach
road. Foundations of these retaining walls are made with Toe and Heel i.e. foundations are
extended on both sides of wall shaft.
SUMMER TRAINING REPORT | UPES, DEHRADUN 27
30. WESTERN DEDICATED FREIGHT CORRIDOR (WDFC) PROJECT, JAIPUR | L&T-SOJITZ CONSORTIUM
5.1.2 L-Type Retaining Walls
L-Type of retaining walls have only the heel portion i.e. raft is extended only one side
(Refer fig. 2) forming ‘L’ shape. These walls are further classified as in two categories types
depending upon the loadings on the wall
5.1.3 U-Type Retaining Walls
U-Type Retaining Walls form the shape of U (Refer fig. 3) as its name defines. The
stems of retaining walls on both sides road are connected with the raft as foundation. Such
retaining walls are used only in the case of ROW constraints where T-type retaining walls
cannot be used as the heel cannot be extended out of available ROW. These types of walls
can be used in between IR and DFC boxes also
Fig. 3, Typical Sketch of U-Type Retaining Wall
Fig. 2, Typical Sketch of L- Type Retaining Wall
5.2 RUB Approach Road Cement Concrete Pavement
Approach road cement concrete pavement is done as the finishing of RUB approach
Road. Cement concrete pavement has to be done on the basis of CVPD (Commercial
Vehicle per Day) which is divided into 3 categories which are listed below.
For roads having CVPD value less than 450
For roads having CVPD value more than 450 but less than 1607
For roads having CVPD value more than 1607
These are done in various stages as subgrade compaction, 150mm thick DLC, M30 cement
concrete (CC) etc. as required to obtain the required road levels and finished surface.
Further to these, when CVPD (Commercial vehicle per day) value is more than 1607 U
type retaining wall to be used as its base slab is designed for the same.

Foot over Bridge
Definition:
It was originally usual for passengers to cross from one railway platform to another by stepping over the
tracks, but from the mid-19th century onwards safety demanded the provision of a footbridge
(or underpass) at busier places. However, in some quieter areas, crossing the line by walking over the
tracks is possible.
9.1 GAD of FOB
Design of footbridges normally follows the same principles as for other bridges. However, because they
are normally significantly lighter than vehicular bridges, they are more vulnerable to vibration and
therefore dynamics effects are often given more attention in design.
Carriageway: That part of the Deck that includes all traffic lanes, hard shoulders, hard strips, and
market strips. The carriageway width is the distance between raised kerbs, if there are any. If there are
not, it is the distance inside the guard rails or barriers or safety fences, less the required set back of 0.6m.
Hand rails: These are rails to prevent people from falling off the bridge. They are 1.1m high, and either
have vertical rails at 0.11m centers or infill panels, to make it harder for children to climb them.
Steel beams: Steel members of an I shape, which can resist bending, carry tension and compression and
shear loads.
Steel columns: Like steel beams, but a squat H shape, which are better at carrying compression loads.
Steel plate web girders: Like large I beams, but made of flat steel plates welded together, then having
stiffeners welded into them to keep them the right shapes. They may be suitable for major road
crossings, especially as continuous beams; but not suitable for export as it is not possible to transport
them.

Major Bridge
Definition:
A bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. The
required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline. The obstacle to be
crossed may be a river, a road, railway or a valley.
10.1 GAD of Major Bridge
Soil nailing is a construction technique used to reinforce soil to make it more stable. Soil nailing is
used for slopes, excavations, retaining walls etc. to make it more stable.
In this technique, soil is reinforced with slender elements such as reinforcing bars which are called
as nails. These reinforcing bars are installed into pre-drilled holes and then grouted. These nails are
installed at an inclination of 10 to 20 degrees with vertical.
Soil nailing is used to stabilize the slopes or excavations where required slopes for excavation
cannot be provided due to space constraints and construction of retaining wall is not feasible. It is
just an alternate to retaining wall structures.
As the excavation precedes, the shotcrete, concrete or other grouting materials are applied on the
excavation face to grout the reinforcing steel or nails. These provide stability to the steep soil slope.
Abutment refers to the substructure at the ends of a bridge span whereon the
structure's superstructure rests or contacts. Single-span bridges have abutments at each end which
provide vertical and lateral support for the bridge, as well as acting as retaining walls to resist
lateral movement of the earthen fill of the bridge approach.

A pile cap is a thick concrete mat that rests on concrete or timber piles that have been driven into
soft or unstable ground to provide a suitable stable foundation. It usually forms part of the
foundation of a building, typically a multi-story building, structure or support base for heavy
equipment.
A pier is a raised structure in a body of water, typically supported by well-spaced piles or pillars.
Bridges, buildings, and walkways may all be supported by piers. Their open structure allows
tides and currents to flow relatively unhindered, whereas the more solid foundations of a quay or
the closely spaced piles of a wharf can act as a breakwater, and are consequently more liable to
silting.

Design of Drain
Design Basis for Drainage
The proposed DFC project will have a drain in between the toes of IR and DFC embankments.
This will be either overlapping or at a distance depending on the alignment and availability of
land in between two tracks. Provision of saucer type drain in between overlapping toes of both
the IR and DFC embankments as envisaged in Employer’s requirement has been explored.
Similarly, provision of side drains in cutting sections, drain at berm locations, catch water drains
has also been seen depending on the requirement stretch wise.
The longitudinal drains will be designed as per guidelines on road drainage, IRC: SP-42-1994,
which as per Clause 10.11 at page 24 recommends that for important routes like National
and State Highways, rainfall of 25 year frequency should be considered for design of drains. The
drains in DFC corridor accordingly will be designed for a return period of 25 years. The proposed
drainage arrangements are designed for efficient collection and disposal.
Design Methodology
Hydraulic adequacy of drains is checked for different length along which water is coming.
Total discharge coming into the drain at any section is calculated by the same well-known
Rational Formula.
For deciding the type and length of drain in DFC corridor, the plan and profile drawing has
been studied. The outfall locations have been identified through the corridor and looking at the
profile along corridor and looking at the detailed cross sections at 20m interval, the start and
end of drain and outfall locations have been identified. The outfall locations considered are major
and minor bridges.
Looking at the detailed cross sections, the type of drain to be adopted in the stretch has
been identified which are as given in Table below:

Sample calculation for Design of V shape Drain (Type -1)
Step-1Calculation of catchment area
Catchment area for the drain has been calculated based on width to be catered for and
the length of drain taking a stretch of length 400m,
Length of drain = 400 m
(Half of C/L distance between IR tracks+ Distance between IR to DFC + Half of width
of catchment area= C/L distance between DFC tracks)
= 5.3/2+21+6/2 m (from center of IR to center of DFC)
= 26.65 m
Area (A) = (Length x Width) = (400*26.65/10^4) = 1.066 ha
Step-2Finding out time of concentration
Entry time from farthest point to start of drain = 5 minute (As per Clause 10.8 at page
21of IRC: SP-42-1994) Assuming, a minimum velocity equal to non-silting velocity of
0.6m/s (as per Para 608, Chapter 6 of IS 1172-1983),
For calculating travel time in drain,
Travel time in drain = (400/0.6/60) = 11.11 minutes
Time of concentration (tc) = entry time + travel time =
= (5+11.11) = 16.11 minutes
Step-3 Rainfall Intensity
From Flood estimation report for subzone (1e),
50 year 24 (T) hour rainfall 200.00 mm (Plate 9 at page 65 of CWC Report for 1(e))
Ratio of 50 year to 25 year rainfall = 2.56/2.22 = 1.15 (As per Annexure I at page 41 of
IRC: Sp-42-1994) Hence, 25 year 24 (T) hour rainfall (F) = 200/1.15 =173.44 mm
Intensity of rainfall corresponding to time of concentration Ic = F/T {(T+1)/tc+1)}
(173.44/24/10)*((24+1)/ ((16.11/60) +1)) = 14.24 cm/hr.
Step-4Calculation of Runoff
Q = 0.0278*C I A (As per Clause 10.4 at page 18 of IRC: SP-42-1994)
Coefficient of runoff, C = 0.40 (for surface area lightly covered and gravel)
(Ref - Table 2 of Clause 10.5 at page 20 of IRC: SP-42-1994)
Discharge, Q = 0.0278 *0.4*14.24*1.066 = 0.169 Cumec

Hydraulic Analysis
Step-5 Capacity of Drain
Assuming a triangular shape drain having a minimum base width aligned width embankment slope of IR
and DFC
Taking, Base width = 0.05 m
and Side slope of drain = 2 H: 1V
depth = 0.33 m
Area (A) of the drain section =
(b+nd)*d
= (0.05+2*0.33)*0.33= 0.234 sqm
Perimeter (P) of the drain section = b+2*d*(1+n^2)^0.5
= 0.05+2*0.33*(1+2^2)^0.5
=
1.526 m
Hydraulic depth (R =
A/P
= 0.234/1.526 = 0.153 m
Slope of the toe at this section (S)
=
0.4% = 0.0040
AssumedRugosity coefficient (n) = 0.020 (Para 11.3, Table 6, 2 B (ii) at page 31 of IRC: SP-42-1994)
Velocity (V) = ((R^0.667)*(s^0.5))/n (0.153^0.667)*(0.004^0.5)/0.02
= 0.904 m/s
Capacity of drain = A x V = 0.212 cumecs
Since capacity of adopted section of drain is more than the runoff calculated, the section is sufficient to
cater runoff of 400m m.
Length of each sloping flank of drain=
d*(1+n^2)^0.5
= 0.33*(1+2^2)^0.5= 0.738 m
Top width of drain b+2*n*d = 0.05+2*2*0.33 = 1.370 m
Stone pitching of 300mm length on either side of flank on embankment slope is provided.

Track Work Installation
Mechanized method of track laying is used using NEW TRACK CONSTRUCTION (NTC) machine. This
will involve:
Laying of rail panels of 250m/260m welded by stationary FBW plant under control conditions in
depot
Track linking/ threading to be done by NTC machine
Use of tamping machines, dynamic track stabilizers and shoulder ballast compactors for making track
fit for traffic movement
The mechanized track laying will include welding, destressing using mobileFBWmachine,
fastening,layingofconcretesleepers,ballasting including tamping & compaction (suitable for 25
tonnes axle load @max permissible speed of 100kmph for Main lines and 50kmph for other
lines), track boards and signage.
Contractor will transport 250m/260m panels from welding depot to laying site by special rakes/
track laying train.
The rail panels will be welded by FBW machine. Use of thermic welding is restricted to
special locations in exceptional cases and with prior consent of the engineer and approval of the
employer.
The destressing will be carried out by deploying mobile FBW plant especially fitted for
destressing operations within the neutral temperature range for each section as per LWR Manual of
IR.
Track boards and signage will include but not limited to kilometer posts, hectometer posts,
gradient posts, curve posts, transition curve posts, fouling marks, bridge no. plaques, station
name boards, jurisdiction boards, etc.
Track work installation by NTC shall be done as per Method statement
– Track installation with NTC.

Conclusion
My internship in L&T was the first instance of me working in any professional field. So I feel
lucky to have L&T as the place of my first work experience. I had no idea of the challenge to be
faced after putting my foot in the professional world. The Job was demanding but I did my best to
create value for the company and for myself as well.
There are many memorable moments and awkward situations I faced working in the company. I
would like to mention few of them which brought considerable change in my perception of the
world around me. The friendly welcome from all the employees is appreciating, sharing their
experience and giving their peace of wisdom which they have gained in long journey of work.
Before my internship started my ideas did not match the experiences have gained during my
internship. There is a big difference in the college projects and the tasks and activities during the
actual work. In college we learn how to describe the work in projects, where in work you learn
how to implement them in reality. This internship was definitely an introduction to the actual work
field for me. I have learned to work in a business organisation and apply my knowledge into
practice. I learned a lot from the different interns that I have been working with during my
internship. Each intern had a different educational background and that made it interesting for me.
By working with them I got to learn from them and become aware educational background.
There are recreational activities like TT in the office which is good.
My mentor during my internship was Nilambar Ojha who I have also learned a lot from during my
internship. As an assistant design manager, he has lots knowledge in designing of structure. And
not only the mentor everyone working in the designing team teaches me the design of structures in
which they are expertise. I am very much thankful to them. I have tried to learn as much as possible
from her and the interns during my internship.
This internship was definitely beneficial for me and I’m grateful and thankful that I got to
experience and learn many things.
