Bridge site at No. 153/6 (mile) on
Colombo –Ratnapura‐Wellawaya‐ Batticaloa Road at Kumbukkana, Monaragala.
For a period of approximately 21 ½ months, I was posted to Construction Management Division of
RDA to work under Mr.D.P.C. Meegoda B.Sc.(Eng.), MICE (Lond), C.Eng, M.Sc (Lough borough)
& Deputy Director (Construction management ) and to work at the above bridge site & I assumed
duties as Site Engineer.
Project Data in Brief
Old Existing Bridge:
The old bridge No. 153/6 (mile), which was along CRWB (A‐4) road, being one of the major
bridges in Uva Province, serves the purpose for irrigation ani‐cut also in Sri Lanka. The existing
bridge was built in 10 spans and foundations and substructure was made with dressed stone and
super structure made RSJJ main & cross beams and deck by timber. This bridge was a very
narrow (12’) and located in a double curve bend in both sides and this bridge was become as one
of the bottleneck of the traffic along this major trunk road. The urgent need was to widen &
construct a new bridge in a proper geometrical alignment and to cater the full capacity of traffic
to flow smoothly.
Newly Constructed Bridge
The Constructed Bridge was located about 150m toward upstream side of the ani‐cut along the
Kumbukkan‐Oya and consists of 5 spans of 71.23‐m length (i.e., 3 intermediate spans of 16.48 m
each and 2 ends span of 11.91 m each). The estimated cost of the bridge of the bridge was Rs. 9.9
million. The mass concrete abutments & wing walls of the bridge were founded on reinforced
slab foundation and four numbers of piers also were founded on reinforced slab foundation. The
bridge was designed to have platform width of 9.2 m for 6.8‐m carriageway width with 1.2‐m
wide foot walks on either sides and also to have both side approaches at total length of 400 m to
link with existing main highway.
WORK EXPERIENCE IN BRIEF.
For the usage of Embankment filling material (Gravel), which were taken from “mahagodayaya”,
borrow pit, having average engineering properties of CBR greater than “25”, liquid limit less
than “40”, Plasticity Index less than “15”, and maximum dry density under standard compaction
greater than 1600 kg/cu.m Static rollers (8‐10 ton) and sheep foot rollers were used for compaction
and degree of compaction was checked at every 500 sq.m area. Embankments fill materials were
normally placed in layers of 225‐mm thickness. The top 450‐mm of embankment was compacted
to the density of 100% or greater of maximum dry density and lower layers were compacted to a
density of 95% or greater of maximum density.

3. When constructing piers, after a firm rock layer was found below the designed level and 20mm
diameter dowels were driven into the bed rock and pockets were filled with grade 25(20) concrete
mix to form a leveled surface to lay foundation. Pier foundation were concreted using grade 25
(70% 40 & 30% 20) by volume batching after the preparation of reinforcement net with the
reinforcement arrangements for the pier shaft. Pier shafts were concreted using 1:2:4 (40) by
batching and capping beams were concreted using Grade 25(20) concrete after the reinforcement
arrangements. Deck In‐filler concreted of 40 (20) was carried out by weigh batching (i.e. Design
Mix). Slump tests were carried out using cone method, for in – filler concrete work ability was
controlled using slump as 12‐25 mm and other concreting works as 25‐100 mm. Concrete cubes
were cast to determine the strength of the concrete used for the structures in 7‐days and 28 days.
The assumptions were taken 65% of 28 days strength was achieved in 7‐days. For the above in –
filler concreting, several trial batches were carried out to ensure the required target mean strength
From the trial batches, it was found that the correct proportions of the mix as 1:1:6:2:1 (by weight)
for the aggregates supplied by contractor. The following measures were take to control quality of
the concrete, Mixing time should not be less than 60 seconds. in volume batching, cement was
measured in bags, cement & sand were measured by standard boxes, water was measured by
measuring devices. Freshly laid concrete kept undisturbed and protected from the effects of the
sun rain and from drying out till it hardens. Once the concrete was hardened, it was cured
continuously in a moist atmosphere for a period of 7 days. Also interval between delivery of
batches were started hardening before fresh concrete was placed on. Concrete was placed and
compacted in horizontally layers normally not exceeding 300 mm in depth and dropped from a
height less than 1.5 m to prevent segregation.

1.2. From May 1990 to October 1990 (5 1/4 Months)
Bridge site No.1/6 on Katunayake‐Veyangoda Road.
I was attached to training division in the demonstration project at Negombo in order to work
at the above bridge site under Mr.Cooray B.Sc. (Eng.), MICE Lond), C.Eng, Director/
Training.
Introduction
This project was to construct approaches with the sub‐base, base & surface dressings to the
above bridge using different methods. This project was funded by Asian Development Bank
with the grant of Rs.50 million for the training facilities to the staff of the Road Development
Authority and also improvements & maintenance of all A & B class roads in Negombo
Executive Engineer’s Division were undertaken by this project.

4. 4
Objectives
Mainly this project was to implement to demonstrate various techniques and training
programmes in the field under direct labour System and to construct approaches to the above
bridge and laying wearing course to Bridge deck.
Project Work
I was appointed as a site Engineer at the bridge Site No.1/6 on Katunayake –Veyangoda road.
When I undertook this project the entire bridge construction was also completed and
approaches also were complete up to the sub‐base level. But Top of the sub base levels were
found lower than the designed levels and cross‐falls were not maintained properly and
degree of compaction were not satisfactory to the required value of 100% compaction. So I
made all these correction before starting to the vase construction works.
Work Experience in brief.
Shoulder constructions were carried out using gravel (CBR>22,PI<15 & LL<40 with a
maximum dry density of 1.7 g/ cu.m under STD compaction) thickness of 225 mm and
compacted using vibrating double drum roller for a length of 325 m and the width of 1.2m
either sides of the carriage way.
Base construction was carried out for 325mm stretch with 7.4m carriageway width using
dense graded aggregate of graded crushed rock with nominal maximum size of 50mm.
naturally in stockpiles and during transport, segregation takes place. According to the
grading requirements, it was found that from sieve analysis the fines were not sufficient to
satisfy the required grading band. Therefore to overcome this problem pay‐loader was hired
to mix aggregate with quarry dust in most stages and kept it wet fill it was over laid on
prepared sub base surface. ABC material spread to a compacted more than 100% maximum
dry density and tests and were carried out in frequency of 300 sq.m per test.
After ABC reached it’s required compaction, surface was brushed by mechanical broomer and
ABC surface was primed with medium curing cutback bitumen (30%) at the rate of 1.0 liter
per sq.m. Double bituminous surface treatment (DBST) was carried out over primed surface
in the following manner. At first, surface was brushed by mechanical broomer and then CRS I
emulsion was applied at a rate of 0.8 liter per sq.m. Immediately after that ¾” single size
aggregate spreaded at a rate of 1.5cu.m. Per 100 sq.m and compacted with a pneumatic tired
roller.
Without exposing first seal to traffic, sufficient curing time (1 hour ) was given between to
seals. Then CRS I emulsion was applied at the rate of 1.2 liter per sq.m and immediately after
that ½” single size aggregate was spread at the rate of 1.15 cu.m per 100 sq.m and compacted
with a pneumatic tired roller.
Traffic was not allowed over newly treated surface till the aggregate was embedded in binder.
Normally traffic was allowed for not less than 12 hrs. Single size aggregates ( ¾” & ½”) which
were used for DBST work, contained plenty of dust. Therefore, aggregates were not
embedded in binder and whip off taken place, to overcome this problem aggregate was
washed and dried to eliminate the dust to improve bonding.
Merging section with existing road surface was carried out with penetration macadam
treatment. Firstly existing surface and primed surface were brushed by mechanical broomer
and applied (CRS I ) emulsion at the rate of 0.5 liter per sq.m as tack – coat and immediately
after that coarse aggregated of nominal maximum size of 37.5mm to the nominal compacted

5. thickness of 55mm at the rate of 6.0 m cu.m per 100 sq.m and compacted using at 8‐10 ton
smooth wheeled roller, until the aggregate was well inter – locked and compacted.
The rolling was commencing from edges and proceeded towards center. After compacting,
CRS I emulsion was applied at the rate of 6.00 liter per sq.m immediately after application of
emulsion, key aggregate of maximum size 12.5 mm in a dry state spreaded uniformly at rate
of 1.5 cu.m per 100 sq.m and rolling resumed and continued until the surface was hardened.
