Each sample shall be submitted in three wide mouthed sealed glass jars containing the representative sample approximately 0.0035cum (1/8 cft) in each bottle. Those soils which are approved shall only be used at site. No work should start until soil sample is approved. Any delay in submission /approval of soil sample will not be compensated. It is for the agency to study necessary specification for soil and to submit soil sample which will confirm to the specifications.

8.6 Compaction of Earthwork: Compaction of embankment as contemplated in the relevant items of the Schedule shall be carried out under the direction of the Engineer and as per the specifications given below :

i) After site clearance, all pockets and depressions left in the soil, if any, shall be made good and compacted.

ii) Thickness of layer: Suitable thickness of soil of each layer is necessary to achieve uniform compaction. Field tests to be conducted to arrive at optimum layer thickness for achieving homogeneous compaction and required MDD. Normally, 200-300mm layer thickness is optimum to obtain the density specified as per IS 10379-1982 read with table 6 (2) of GE:0014.

iii) The moisture content in the blanketing material/prepared sub-grade / embankment fill shall be predetermined before rolling. Deviation of moisture content from the optimum moisture content shall not exceed 2.0%. If water is to be added, it shall be done after spreading the COE/ prepared sub-grade/ blanketing materials, on the formation and the quantity of the water to be added shall be arrived at in litres for every strip of 5 meters of the formation.



Strict control shall be exercised in adding the water. The water shall be sprinkled on the formation through a truck mounted water tank sprinkling system. Use of hose pipe for water need to be avoided. If the COE/ prepared sub-grade/blanketing materials contains excessive moisture, the rolling shall be commenced only after the materials are allowed to dry and the moisture content is brought down to permissible limit.

iv) The number of passes of the roller and the optimum thickness of each layer will be fixed after carrying out field trials with the roller proposed to be used, from time to time and from location to location, the main criteria being to obtain the maximum density achievable uniformly. However, a good practice thickness of layer should be generally kept as 300mm for fill material and 250mm for prepared sub-grade and blanketing in loose state before compaction. The directions of the Engineer with regard to the degree of compaction to be achieved and/or process of compaction should be strictly followed. The quoted rate should be deemed to include all the charges for the field compaction trials.

v) Cohesionless soils shall be compacted to get a minimum density index (relative density) of 70 percent as obtained in accordance with IS: 2720 (Pt. XIV)-1983.

vi) All other types of soils when compacted shall attain at least 98 percent of the maximum dry density as determined using heavy compaction in accordance with IS:2720 (Pt. VIII)-1983 followed by field trials as per IS:10379-1982.

vii) While compacting, it shall be ensured that there is a minimum overlap of 150mm between each run of the roller.

viii) Mechanical compaction of the embankments shall be done only with vibratory roller/equipment. The suitability of the equipment will have to be demonstrated by field trials before employing it on the work.

ix) Care should be taken during the compaction operation, to slope the surface of the bank to facilitate draining of rain water and to minimize the absorption of rain water.

x) The top of the formation shall be finished to a slope of 1 in 30 away from the centre. xi) The densities of the finished formation work shall be checked as per the frequency

mentioned in RDSO’S- GE: 0014 at every layer level and records maintained. Wherever the density is falling short of the minimum specified density, the surface shall be re-compacted to attain the desired density. The contractor shall be allowed to lay a further layer of soil only after the compaction of a particular layer has been found satisfactory. During the progress of the work, the contractor shall afford all facilities to the Engineer or his authorised representative to carry out such field tests wherever necessary.

xii) If the soil is dry, water shall be sprinkled either in the borrow pit or over the spread layer, as convenient in order to obtain a workable moisture content before rolling is commenced. Where the natural moisture content of borrow soil is high, compaction at higher moisture contents can be allowed by the permission of Engineer-in-charge.

xiii) Each layer shall be compacted to the specified density over its entire width commencing from the two sides, before another layer is started.

xiv) The Railway shall ascertain the density of each layer of compacted soil by testing adequate number of soil samples.

xv) The quality of work shall be determined by considering the mean density of the samples in each layer. The mean dry density shall be equal to or exceed the minimum specified density. In no individual case shall the density be less than the minimum value specified by more than 2 percent; otherwise further rolling shall be done at the appropriate location.



xvi) The Contractor shall be allowed to lay a further layer of soil only after the compaction of a particular layer has been found satisfactory.

8.6.2 Extra width of 50cm shall be rolled on either side, which after finishing the bank upto the final height, shall be dressed by removing the loose earth. This is done to account for the rollers not being able to compact the soil at the edge of the formation. The rate quoted is inclusive of the same.

8.6.3 Places inaccessible to rolling equipment shall be compacted by hand tampers. 8.7 RECORDS OF COMPACTION: The rate quoted shall include establishment of

contractor’s own well equipped site laboratory with all contractor’s staff, equipment, consumables, etc., for the purpose of conducting all required tests in the presence of Railway’s representative as directed by the Engineer. All the test results obtained shall be maintained in a proforma approved by Railways and shall be produced at the time of inspection of Railway officials. The signature of the Railway’s representative who witnessed the testing shall be obtained in the register.

8.8 Soil test reports from reputed private/Govt. laboratories ( or) Engineering colleges as per the directions of Engineer- in – charge as per the directions of Engineer-in–charge will also be considered. Charges for such tests shall be borne by the contractor. 8.9 Levels and Cross Sections: It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that no work on the embankment is

commenced until the existing ground levels at different cross-sections have been taken and recorded and such records of levels have been jointly signed and dated by the contractor and the Engineer or their authorised representatives. Cross-sectional profiles plotted on the basis of the observed ground levels shall also be jointly signed by the Contractor and the Engineer. The points at which the cross section ground levels are to be recorded and the extent of leveling work to be done shall be decided by the Engineer. The contractor may bring to the notice of the engineer such additional cross-sections that in his opinion should be taken for proper assessment of quantities. Such representation however should be made well before the commencement of any earth work. The engineer's decision there on shall however be final and binding on the contractor. The contractor should inspect the site and make himself familiar with site conditions and the works to be done.

8.10 Payment for earthwork shall be as per IRU Standard specifications -2010 for USSR

2010.

9.0 DRILLING OF HOLES AND PROVIDING ANCHOR RODS: If the foundations are to be laid on the rock bed met in the river bed anchoring the rock

surface by providing anchor rods of 25mm diameter MS/HYSD bars of suitable lengths at intervals as per the drawings. 40mm diameter of holes are required to be drilled for this purpose at the bottom of foundation level to suitable depths at required spacing as per drawing and the anchor rods of 25mm diameter should be fixed with contractor's cement capsules. The other end of the rod should be made bent suitably and buried in the foundation concrete for the bonding.

2.0 QUALIFYING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTS (Mandatory) Qualifying tests as part of pre-selection of good earth for track subgrade,

embankment fill is required to be carried out. Also, quality of compaction is required to be done to ensure good quality

construction. 2.1.1 Selection of soil: For selection of soil to be used as embankment fill CBR test is

required to be conducted on material. CBR test is conducted on ground soil, embankment fill, prepared sub-grade & blanket material to ensure the minimum specified CBR value of these materials to be used in construction.

This test is carried out on soil sample in laboratory as per procedure given in IS:2720 (Part 16)-1987 & in field as per IS:2720 (Part 31)– 1969.

2.1.2 Quality Assurance Test on Compacted Layer : Quality Assurance Tests are required to be conducted on part completion stages of formation, prior to clearing for further earthwork, track linking work:



Heavy Proctor test is required to be conducted to determine the Maximum Dry Density of soil as per IS: 2720 (part 8). In-situ density is measured in the field by Sand Replacement Method (IS: 2720 – part 28) or Core Cutter Method (IS: 2720 – part 29) to calculate the degree of compaction. this shall be determined in laboratory as per BIS procedure with the specified frequency of earthwork quantity, as envisaged in ‘Guidelines of Earthwork in Railway Projects, GE:G-1, July 2003.

Second Step Plate Load Test (Optional) is required to be conducted in-situ for measurement of Deformation Modulus EV2 of compacted layers of embankment, blanket, prepared sub-grade etc. The test procedure has been detailed in German Code DIN:18134- 2001,’Determining Deformation & Strength Characteristics Of Soil By Plate Loading Test”. The minimum value of EV2 should be ensured at different levels as specified. Brief procedure of these above tests has been given in Annexure-2.

2.2 Frequency of Quality Assurance Tests a) CBR test for selection of formation materials and other tests required for

ensuring conformation of the materials (blanket, sub-grade) as per specification e.g. size gradation, Cu, Cc, Los Angeles Tests, OMC/MDD etc. shall be conducted at following frequency :

i) Embankment Fill : one set of tests for every 5000 cum ii) Prepared sub-grade : one set of tests for every 2000 cum iii) Blanket material : one set of tests for every 500 cum

b) In-situ Degree of Compaction (or In-situ dry density measurement) test shall be conducted on each compacted layers in random pattern at following frequency for the different layers :

i) Embankment Fill : one density measurement at every 500 sqm surface area of each compacted layers

ii) Blanket and Prepared Sub-grade : one density measurement at every 200 sqm surface area of each compacted layers.

c) Second step Plate Load Test: This test is in practice in German Railways and recommended by UIC Code 719 to measure the quality of earthwork and blanketing after compaction. For Indian Railways, this test is made optional presently. In the guidelines, this test has been included as a future development for quality assurance test on compacted surface. This should be done for EV2 measurement at top of each formation layers eg. at sub-soil, compacted sub-grade, prepared sub-grade, blanket etc. at the frequency of one test per km length of section.

3.0 GROUND IMPROVEMENT METHODS: 3.1 Field tests are required to be conducted on sub-soil strata, such as Plate load test for

determination of Elastic Modulus at second loading (EV2), Standard Penetration test to determine N-value, and Unconfined Compression Test or Vane Shear Test to determine unconfined compressive strength or un drained cohesion, Cu. If values of these test parameters, as specified in following para are not achieved then ground improvement is required.

3.2 For ground soil/ sub-strata layers with low bearing capacities, assessed by following evaluation parameters:

3.2.1 Ev2 value less than 20 MPa, (Optional) or



3.2.2 undrained cohesion (Cu) < 25 kPa, or

3.2.3 N-value (determined from Standard Penetration Test –SPT ) < 5, shall require Ground Improvement.

Strengthening of sub-strata soil layers can be carried out using one or more of the following techniques, like:

3.2.3.1 removal and replacement ( R&R) of weak soil, 3.2.3.2 stage constructions of the fill, preloading and surcharging, 3.2.3.3 Installation sub drainage system, 3.2.3.4 In-situ pile, Sand Gravel Compaction pile, Stone Colums 3.2.3.5 Vibro-floatation,

3.2.3.6 lime pile, Injection/ lime slurry pressure injection/ion exchange, 3.2.3.7 Stir & Mixing, 3.2.3.8 Sand mat, Geosynthetics etc.

3.3 Brief on Ground Improvement Techniques has been given in Annexure-A. However, details of Some Ground Improvement Techniques are available in Various RDSO reports on RDSO website - www.rdso.gov.in.

4.0 SPECIFICATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: (Mandatory) 4.1 The following Specifications for two different systems for blanket, sub grade, and

embankment fill are mandatory provisions to be adopted, as follows: i) Conventional blanket layer over formation sub-grade ii) Blanket layer over prepared sub grade layer (good/imported soil) Any of the two systems may be considered for adoption in the field based on good soil availability and material cost economics. These are given in form of following:

a) Table 6 (Specification and thickness of sub grade layers for Heavier Axle Loads), b) Formation cross-sections (Fig. 10 of GE: 0014– Formation Profiles and Layers for Heavy

Axle Load), and c) Bar Diagrams (Fig. 11 – Formation Layer Thickness). 4.2 In order to design & construction of stable formation for heavy axle load, EV2 should be

determined in the field as per procedure given in German Code DIN : 18134 at ground. Undrained shear strength, Cu of ground soil from Unconfined Compression (UCC) test or Vane Shear Test and Penetration Number (N – Value) from Standard Penetration Test should also be determined. If EV2 value is less than 20 MPa or Sub-soil strata having (Cu) < 25 KPa (mostly in Marshy area) or N-value < 5 will also require ground improvement.

4.3 If, naturally available materials do not meet the desired specifications, blanket material can be produced by mechanical process from crushing or blending method or combination of these two methods. Details of these two methods are given in Appendix–C of GE: 0014. Naturally available sand, quarry dust or crusher run, if available at low cost, can be used as prepared sub grade also.

5. OTHER IMPORTANT GUIDELINES : 5.1 EXISTING PROVISIONS OF BLANKET AND FORMATION ON

INDIAN RAILWAYS (Guidelines for Earthwork in Rly Project No. GE: G-1, July 2003)

Unsuitable Soils for Construction of formation layers: Soils to be normally avoided are: a) Organic clays, organic silts, peat, chalks, dispersive soils, poorly graded gravel

and sand with uniformity coefficient (Cu) less than 2, b) Clays and silts of high plasticity (CH & MH) in top 3m of embankment. 5.2 Formation width: The formation width of embankment for single line BG should

normally be 7.85m or as decided by Engineer-in-Charge.

5.3 For banks higher than 4.5 metres, suitable slope stability analysis, reinforcement of slopes, plantation of deep root grass and toe wall construction shall be suitably adopted. In case of high bank on soft sub-soil, flatter slope with berm/sub-bank should be provided after slope stability analysis.

5.4 Adequate drainage arrangement should be made by providing cross slope at top of formation and side drains/catch water drains, wherever required.

5.5 Stable slopes and adequate drainage arrangements in cutting areas should be provided as per details given in ‘Guidelines for Cutting in Railway Formations - No. GE: G-2, August 2005’.

5.6 For high banks at approaches of rail bridges, providing approach slabs and geogrid layer shall also be considered and adopted. In this regards, recommendations of RDSO report on ‘Transition System on Approaches of Bridges’ report No. GE: R-50, August- 2005 can be followed.

5.7 Reinforced Earth Construction may be adopted wherever steep slope/vertical wall construction is required due to space constraint or otherwise. In this regard, RDSO’s report on ‘Concept and Design of Reinforced Earth Structures, No. GE-R-63, June 2005’ should be consulted.

5.8 Adequate erosion control measures on slopes of bank & cutting should be ensured by vegetation on slopes with deep-rooted Vetiver grass & geo-jute textile, if necessary. In areas susceptible to flooding, the sides of an embankment should be protected with a layer of rock fill or stones with an intermediate granular layer upto 1 m above HFL.

5.9 At locations, where water table is high and fill-soil is fine-grained, it may be desirable to provide a granular layer of about 30 cm thickness at the base, above sub-soil across the full width of formation. Boulder pitching should be done on embankment slope.



5.10 Use of geo-synthetics improves the performance of formation. Geo-grid at ballast &

blanket interface can reduce blanket thickness requirement. Geo-textile/geo-composite can be provide at the blanket – subgrade interface and/or blanket – prepared subgrade interface for the purpose of separation, filtration & drainage and better performance of the track substructure system as whole. A technical note on the use of various geosynthetic products in track bed applications is given in Annexure-4 of GE-0014.

5.11 Apart from the above main & other recommendations, other provisions given in

‘Guidelines For Earthwork in Railway Projects’, GE:G-1, July, 2003 such as construction procedure, drainage, erosion control etc. should also be followed.



Annexure-1

Ground Improvement Techniques/Soft Ground Improvement Methods:

These techniques can be adopted to improve the ground strength on which the embankment/fills are constructed. The underlying soil for fill is required to satisfy the same basic requirements of a continuous spread foundation system. The underlying soil should have the strength to support the proposed embankment and live loads with an adequate safety factor. In addition, the embankment/fill needs to be designed and constructed such that it can tolerate the projected degree of settlement. It is occasionally necessary to remove and replace portions of weak or highly compressible underlying soil or to improve their characteristics by using stabilization procedures or controlled construction techniques. Identification of vulnerable conditions of ground which requires improvement can be measured in terms of high content of soft clay having undrained shear strength less than 25 kPa, loose sand strata having N value less than 5, and Ev2 (Elastic Modulus of 2nd plate load test) assessed less than 20MPa. Controlled construction techniques could include one or combination of the following:

1. Removal and replacement of weak soil: For localized areas with soft soils (having undrained shear strength less than 20 kPa or CBR<3) of limited depth and thickness, removal of unsuitable material and replacement with suitable fill may be carried out. These unsuitable materials were encountered in valleys and low-lying areas and may be replaced with well-compacted suitable fill preferably coarse-grained/sandy soils.

Excavation and replacement could be carried out up to 2 m.

The removal and replacement may be required to be carried out even in ‘cutting’ areas where the naturally occurring soils were found to be of a low shear strength and high moisture content. Subsurface drainage may have to be introduced in most of such areas.



Annexure-2

QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTS

1. Standard Test Procedure For California Bearing Ratio (Laboratory Method) (Ref: BIS Code – IS : 2720 (part 16) – 1979 Laboratory Determination of CBR)

California Bearing Ratio California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is a penetration test developed by the California State Highway Department of USA for the evaluation of subgrade strengths for roads and pavements. California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is defined as the Ratio of Force per unit Area required to penetrate a soil mass with a circular plunger of 50 mm diameter at the rate of 1.25 mm/minute to that required for corresponding penetration of a standard material. The test is arbitrary and results may not be directly related to fundamental properties governing the strength of soils such as cohesion, angle of internal friction etc. Schematic of CBR Test shown below:

Apparatus: i) CBR mould 150 mm diameter and 175 mm high with detachable perforated base

plate. (Net capacity is 2250 ml). ii) Collar 50 mm high. iii) Penetration plunger - 50 mm diameter. iv) One annular and a few slotted surcharge masses 2.5 kg each. v) Rammer 2.6 kg with 310 mm drop and 4.89 kg with 450 mm drop. vi) Steel rod 15-20 mm in dia and 400 mm long.



vii) Cutting edge. viii) Loading machine of approximately 5000 kg capacity, fitted with a calibrated proving

ring giving a constant rate of penetration of about 1.25 mm/minute. ix) Penetration measuring 2 dial gauges accurate to 0.01 mm. x) Soaking tank of pan, drying oven, dishes and calibrated measuring jar. xi) Swelling gauge consisting of a perforated plate with an adjustable extension stem. xii) I.S. Sieves 4.75 mm and 19 mm. xiii) Straight edge, mixing basin. xiv) Filter paper xv) Weights Preparation of test specimen The test may be conducted on undisturbed as well as disturbed (remoulded) soil specimen which may be compacted statically or dynamically. Undisturbed soil specimen Undisturbed soil specimen shall be obtained from the field in natural condition. For this, use 127.3 mm high mould and attach the steel cutting edge to its one end. Push the mould gently into the ground. When the mould is full of soil, it shall be taken out carefully. The top and bottom surfaces are then trimmed flat so as to achieve the correct length of specimen for testing. The specimen is then sealed with paraffin wax on both sides of the mould so as to preserve it with the natural moisture content. Remoulded specimen (From disturbed sample) When undisturbed specimen is not available, the specimen can be prepared by remoulding the disturbed soil sample. It can be prepared on maximum dry density of soil determined by compaction test. The water content used for compaction should be at optimum moisture content. Remoulded specimens are prepared in the laboratory by compaction. The test material should pass 19 mm I.S. sieve and retained on 4.75 mm sieve. TEST PROCEDURE 1. Soaking of remoulded specimen: Weight the mould with base plate and the specimen. Keep the filter paper on the specimen and place the perforated top plate with adjustable stem over the specimen. Keep the mould in a tank in which water is filled for soaking. Apply weights to produce a surcharge equal to the weight of base material and pavement to the nearest 2.5 kg on the compacted soil specimen. The whole mould and weights shall be immersed in a tank of water allowing free access of water to top and bottom of the specimen. The tripod for the expansion measuring device shall be mounted on the edge of the mould and the initial dial gauge reading recorded. This set up shall be kept as such undisturbed for 96 hours noting down the readings every day against the time of reading. A constant water level shall be maintained in the tank throughout the period.



At the end of the soaking period, the final reading of the dial gauge shall be noted, the tripod removed and the mould is taken out of the water tank. The free water collected in the mould shall be removed and the specimen allowed to draining downward for 15 minutes. After draining out water, the weights, the perforated plate and the top filter paper shall be removed and the mould with the soaked soil sample shall be weighed and the mass recorded. 2. Penetration Test: The mould containing the test specimen is placed on the lower plate of the testing machine with the base plate in position and the top surface exposed. Surcharge mass is placed on the specimen. If the specimen has been soaked previously, the surcharge shall be equal to that use during the soaking period. To prevent upheaval of soil into the hole of the surcharge weights, 2.5 kg annular weight shall be placed on the soil surface. The plunger shall be seated under a load of 4 kg so that full contact is established between the surface of the specimen and the plunger. Load shall be applied to the penetration plunger so that the penetration is approximately 1.25 mm per minute. Reading of the load shall be taken at penetrations of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 4.0, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 and 12.5 mm. After the completion of the test, the plunger is raised and the mould is detached from the loading equipment. About 20 to 50 g of soil shall be collected from the top 30 mm layer of specimen for water content determination. LOAD PENETRATION CURVE The load penetration curve is drawn as shown in Fig.2. The curve is generally convex upwards, although the initial portion of the curve may be concave upwards due to surface irregularities. A correction shall then be applied by drawing a tangent to the upper curve at the point of contraflexure. The corrected curve shall then be taken to be this tangent plus the convex portion of the original curve with the origin of strains shifted to the point where the tangent cuts the horizontal strain axis as illustrated in Fig. below:

Load Penetration Curve for a CBR Test



DETERMINATION OF CBR

Corrected load value shall then be taken from the load penetration curve corresponding to the penetration value at which CBR is desired. The CBR is then determined as follows:-

CBR=PT/Psx100 Where, PT =Corrected load corresponding to the chosen penetration from the load penetration curve, Ps =Standard load for the same depth of penetration as for Ps The CBR values are usually calculated for penetration of 2.5mm and 5mm. Generally, the CBR value at 2.5 mm penetration will be greater than that at 5mm penetration and in such a case; the former shall be taken as the CBR value for design purpose. If the CBR value corresponding to a penetration of 5mm exceeds that for 2.5mm, the test shall be repeated. If identical results follow, the bearing ratio corresponding to 5mm penetration shall be taken for design.
