The impact forces to be considered shall be reasonably expected forces and the bridge design/arrangement shall ensure that the bridge span does not collapse under these forces. 2.16.2 The forces due to accidental impact from road vehicles shall be as pér provisions of relevant road authorities, 2.16.3 In bridges nominated/regularly used for navigation purposes, the forces due to accidental impact from ships or other water bome vehicles shall be as per provisions of relevant maritime authorities, 2.164 The design of structures for accidental impact from derailed trains shall be done as follows: 2.16.41 Structures to be checked for accidental impact from derailed trains. 2.16.4.1.1 Structures which need special measures to be taken regarding derailed vehicles: i. Buildings with regular occupancy offices/residences including amenities at Railway Stations (occupancy more than 10). ~~ fi. Buildings likely to be crowded"usually or occasionally such as shopping areas, theatres, Auditorium etc, il, Structures supporting tracks, raiWway etc. carrying passengers. iv. Structures carrying hazardous chemicals like oil, gas etc, v. Road Over Bridges. vi. Any other structure where risk analysis indicates a need for taking measures to Protect the structures against derailment loads.7 2.16.4.1.2 The structures which usually don't need any special measures to be taken regarding derailed vehicles: i. Fencing! boundary walls etc ji, Masts, poles etc. for railway use such as indicators, OHE/signal structures etc. ii, Platform cover shelters and other structures which do not normally have people on them jv. Warehouses and parking lots which are thinly occupied (occupancy less than or ‘equal to 10). 218.42 Distance upto which the Structures shall be considered vulnerable: The structures shall be considered vulnerable for a distance specified below. | Maximum Speed of Trains Perpendicular distance of structure from center line of nearest track (including duly protected ends of tracks) upto which structures shall be considered vulnerable | | ‘<=100 KMPH | 4-1m + (Maximum height of vehicle/3) be [PIOOKMPH, <= 160 KMPH [5.1m + (Maximum height of vehicle?) | For track curvature exceeding 0.5 deg, an additional clearance of 1m shall be provided. | Note: 1. For vehicies travelling at different speeds, the distance of vulnerability shall be worked out separately for different vehicles. The height upto which the distance of structure is to be measured shall be upto the top of vertical part of the Maximum Moving Dimension diagram for the route. 2.16.4.3 Design Measures for structures which are within distance specified in para 2.1642: All structures within the distance specified in para 2.16.4.2 are Vulnerable to damage due to being hit by derailed vehicles. These structures shall be suitably designed as specified below: 2.16.4.3.1 The structures considered vulnerable as per clause 2.16.4.3 but ldcated near tracks having maximum speed 100 kmph shall be considered adequately protected if the structure is supported on a platform (can be an extension of foundation ) with minimum height 0.76m above rail level, minimum length 3.6m and minimum thickness 0.8m, which extends minimum 1.2m below the Surrounding ground and if the columns/piers of the structure are minimum 0.5m (measured from all possible directions of train impact) behind edge of the platform. One possible way of achieving this is by extending pile cap up to 1.2m below ground level and up to 0.76m above ground level; and by locating the structure (pier or abutment) on pile cap in such a way that its face is minimum (0.5m away from edge of the pile cap for all possible directions of probable train impact. Itis desirable that the end of platform so provided is having proper shape (such as shape of cut water $f piers) to guide and deflect the derailed vehicle away from the structure. 2.16.4.3.2 For locations where train speeds are expected to be less than 50 kmph during life of the structures and considered vulnerable as per clause 2.16.43 shall be considered adequately protected if guard rail as per para 228 (1) of IRPWM is provided under the structure starting from a distance 30 m ahead of the structure (to be measured from the start of guard rail to the start of structure) in the direction of travel of trains.2.16.4.3.3 The substructures not considered Protected as per clauses 2.16.4.3.1 and Note: Note: 2.16.4.3.2 shall be designed as follows: i. The substructures shall preferably be wall type as such strictures provide maximum stifess and energy absorption capacity against impact. Wall type ‘substructures should preferably be proportioned as below: 2) L (length) / 8 (wicthy >=4 b) H (height) /L (length) <=2 ©) Minimum wictn of 0.8m The length and width should be measured at 2m above rail level and height should be measured from top of foundation to top of bed block. i If wall type substructures are not possible/provided and instead multiple columns ere provided, the column/columns which are subjected to direct impact of derailed vehicies should be individually designed for loads given in (i) below. ii, The substructure (either wall type or column type) shall be designed for the following impact loads (considered as ultimate load case with a load factor of 1.0), applied at 2m above rail level: @) Along the direction of travel : maximum load of 50m train length x K; or 5) Perpendicular to the direction of travel: maximum load of 15m train length x K. 1. The train load may be taken from EUDL for shear force. 2. Both the loads shall be applied separately 3. K shall be as given in the table below: ‘Speed (kmph) ne ==50 Curvature <0.5 0: 30.5 0. <0.5 20.5 i 7 <0.5 1 1 30.5 Note: Principal Chief Engineer may allow deviations, by recording reasons, from the requirement of designing the structures for accidental impact loads as per para 2.16.4 depending upon practical considerations as per site conditions By Order, OV ee (este are rarer) (Rajesh Kumar Srivastava) ardent faa qa wt aaT Executive Director/B&S aa.T31-/RDSO *raTS/Lucknow ne?
