1.2 Scope
The object of this Design Basis Document is to establish a common procedure for
the design of "Stations for NAGPUR Metro Rail Project". This serves as guide to the
designer but compliance with the rules there in does not relieve them in any way of
their responsibility for the stability and soundness of the structure designed. The design
of Elevated Stations is entrusted to specially qualified engineers with adequate practical
experience in structure designs of metro rail structures.

The DBR is only for structural design of Elevated and at Grade Stations. Extended
platform portion which is generally on single column or portal type structure shall be
designed as part of viaduct, such as pier arms connected to viaduct piers.

The structural elements connected to the member on which metro live loads are
supported may also be designed with taking loads applicable as specified in "Model
Design Basis Report (DBR) for Viaduct of Metro System". NMRCL has performed
RSI analysis through its Detailed Design Consultants (DDC) and Proof Consultants
(PC) and maximum Long Welded Rail (LWR) force after combining forces due to rail
breaking and temperature difference with 10% dynamic augment arrived as 13.2 kN/m,
irrespective of number of tracks. This value of LWR is for the case where no tie-rods/
seismic arrestors on pier cap are provided. Load combination as per "Model Design
Basis Report (DBR) for Viaduct of Metro System" shall also be considered. Other

 DESIGN BASIS REPORT- STATIONS

stuctural elements such as platform girders seated on extended pier arms, secondary
beams, stub columns etc., may be designed as per IS 456.

Structures, where Metro Live loads are not applicable, the design of Plain and
Reinforced Concrete stuctures will generally be governed by IS :456, prestressed concrete
structures shall generally be governed by IS : 1343, Steel structures design shall generally
be governed IS :800. Seismic design shall be governed by IS :1893 part-I. Ductile
detailing if done shall be as per IS 13920.
This design basis note is being submitted highlighting the proposed design
methodology for stations of the project.
The Design Service Life of permanent structures shall be 120 years. The Design Service
Life is primarily addressed by the durability of the structure.
The factors influencing durability include:
 the environment;
 the cover to embedded steel;
 the type and quality of constituent materials;
 the cement content and water/cement ratio of the concrete;
 workmanship, to obtain full compaction and efficient curing; and
 The shape and size of the member.
For the purpose of this Design Basis Report, ‘structural compatibility’ means as
follows :
a) The structural elements with monolithic connection to the members on which
metro live loads are transferred/supported shall be designed according to IRS
code.
b) The members on which metro live loads are not transferred/supported shall
be designed as per IS code.

1.3 Units
The main units used for design will be: [t], [m], [mm], [kN], [KN/m2], [MPa], [°C],
[rad].

* Please check for actual load and its location.

**Actual loads will be calculated on the basis of equipment and machinery which have
to be installed at the detailed design stage.
Floor slabs shall be designed for the distributed load as shown in the table here
above. The floor slab also be checked, in critical locations, using # the concentrated
loads listed in the above table for possible local internal forces exceeding those
produced by the normal distributed loads e.g. cantilevers, punching shear in slabs and
all other locations sensitive to concentrated loads. The concentrated loads are to be
applied in positions which produce maximum stresses and where deflection is the main
criteria, they should be placed in positions that produce maximum deflection.

12 | P a g e
 DESIGN BASIS REPORT- STATIONS

Concentrated loads and uniformly distributed loads are taken into account
independently.
Dispersal of concentrated loads is at a spread-to-depth ratio of 1 horizontally to 1

Horizontal Train Live Load (Braking and Traction)

 Braking load is taken as 18% of the unfactored vertical loads
 Traction load is taken as 20% of the unfactored vertical loads.
Since both the tracks are supported by a single girder, hence tractive force of one track
and braking force of another track will be taken in the same direction to produce worst
condition of loading.
As per clause 2.8.5 of IRS Bridge Rules (Third reprint-2014), in seismic condition, only
50% of gross tractive effort / braking force will be considered along with horizontal
seismic forces acting across/along the direction of traffic.

of carriageway.
 Piers not conforming with above-mentioned provisions need to be designed for

14 | P a g e
 DESIGN BASIS REPORT- STATIONS

vehicle collision load as given below:

Load normal to Load parallel to Point of application on

carriageway carriageway bridge support
below(t) below(t)
At the most severe point
Main load between 0.75m and 1.5m
50 100
component above carriageway level

Residual At the most severe point

50
Load 25 between 1m and 3m
above carriageway level
 The nominal loads given in table above shall be considered to act horizontally as vehicle
collision loads. Supports shall be capable of resisting the main and residual loads
component acting simultaneously. Loads normal to the carriageway and loads parallel
to the carriageway shall be considered to act separately and shall not be combined.
 While checking for vehicle collision load, principal live load on the guide way, seismic
or wind load need not to be considered.
 The piers shall be designed for the residual load component only, if protected with
suitably designed barrier/fencing system taking into account its flexibility, having a

F.1 All buildings in steel construction shall have normally slopes of 1-vertical to 10 –
horizontal or as per drawing. Purlins shall be placed normal to the slope.

G.0 LIMITATIONS ON DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS

G.1 Purlins & Side-Cladding Runners

G.1.1 If purlins / runners are assumed to be continuous over supports, continuity shall have
to be developed at supports through proper connections to absorb the continuity
moments.
G.1.2 In case of continuous purlins / runners, temperature effects need to be considered, and
such forces need to be transferred down to the foundation through the main structure
and appropriate bracing or other force transfer- systems.

G.1.3 Sag-rods and / or sag-struts may be provided as per requirements of economic design.

G.2 Columns/Portal Frame

G.2.1 The portal frame shall be analyzed for semi fixed base and hinge base the combination
of load cases which gives maximum forces shall be considered for design of foundation
holding down bolts, columns main rafters and connections.
G.2.2 Columns supporting crane gantry girders shall be considered as ‘Fixed Base’.

 DESIGN BASIS REPORT- STATIONS

However portal frame shall be analyzed for fixed base & hinge base the combination
of load cases which gives maximum forces shall be considered for design of foundation
holding down bolts, columns main rafters and connections.
G.2.3 All columns may be of ‘Solid web’ sections. These can be of standard hot rolled
sections or ‘built up’ sections. All columns may also be of Circular hollow section
(Tubular section). The final shape of cross section of steel columns shall be as
mentioned in tender drawings. Profiling of the sections is permissible if so desired by
the suppliers.

G.3 Roof Rafters

G.3.1 Roof rafters may also be solid web sections, either standard hot rolled or built-up,
depending on suppliers design. Roof rafters may also be of Circular hollow section
(Tubular section). The final shape of cross section of Roof rafters shall be as mentioned
in tender drawings. Trusses and castellated sections will not be acceptable.

G.3.2 Connections of rafters to columns shall be through rigid welded/ bolted joints only.

G.4 Other Elements

G.4.1 Eaves beams, other longitudinal beams along column lines may also be of solid web
sections. These may be connected through bolts or welds as per design requirements of
supplier. Further, these elements may also be of Circular hollow section (Tubular
section). The final shape of cross section of these elements shall be as mentioned in
tender drawings.
G.4.2 Crane gantry girders shall be of solid-web sections, either compound or single built up.
G.4.3 Foundation and other holding down bolts shall be sized as per design requirement of
various components being connected.
G.4.4 For the purpose of analysis and design of sections, starting level of columns at base
shall generally be considered as 800 mm below floor level. The exact depth of fixity of
columns shall be got clarified from Structural Consultants before the final analysis /
design is taken up by the supplier.
