TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
PRECAST SEGMENT FOR RCC BOX CULVERT 2 MTR X 2 MTR
(DRAWING ATTACHED) LENGTH 02 MTR
1. Details of drawing & dimension.
Size - 2000 (W) x 2000 (D) having length 2000 mm
Grade of concrete - M- 50 grade
2. Design, Manufacture & Supply of factory-made (wet cast) high strength precast
reinforced cement concrete box culverts of size 2000 (W) x 2000 (D) having length 2000 mm,
boxes steam cured in a controlled environment and manufactured by using high performance
self-compacting concrete of M- 50 grade using Fe 500 / 550 D grade TMT steel reinforcement
bar. Design should confirm to IRC/BIS standards/ Guidelines/Codes furthermore taking into
consideration expected handling and erection stresses etc. Any international guideline such
as AASHTO, FHWA (Accelerated Bridge construction Guidelines) Japan and EURO codes
may be followed in case of any gap in IRC/BIS standard and guideline. The design of the box
culvert should be vetted/proof checked by IIT/NIT, Certificate of NIT shall be attached with
Tender document. The precast culvert should be designed considering super imposed dead
load, live load including dynamic impact, tractive and braking forces and earth pressure as
per IRC:6-2017. Class AA loading or Class 70R Load live load should be considered
(whichever is higher) for design. Box culvert shall have interlocking plug-socket arrangement.
