00:00Right now, I am at the biggest rotary in Jabalpur, which is worth Rs. 800 crores.
00:06It is on the way from Madan Mahal to Mahanadya.
00:09There is a debate going on, a video has gone viral, in which this crack,
00:13you can see this crack,
00:15a question has been raised on this crack, as to why this crack has come here.
00:19You will see this crack in the entire rotary.
00:22There are cracks like this all around.
00:24It is obvious, it is such a big rotary, it is costing so much money,
00:27it is a great example of engineering.
00:30After that, why did this crack come?
00:33So, the company which is constructing this,
00:37the representatives of that company are not coming in front of the media,
00:41but they told us that there are two concrete structures below this.
00:45There is a gap between the two structures,
00:49on which a T-joint, i.e. an iron plate is placed.
00:54And that plate is placed so that when the two concrete joints below,
01:00when there is a collision between them,
01:02they do not collide with each other.
01:04Because if they collide, there will be cracks in them and the concrete will be destroyed.
01:07And if the concrete breaks once,
01:09then the strength of this structure will weaken and it will fall.
01:14That is why that gap has been left in it.
01:16But there is a plate on top of the gap.
01:18The plate in it is that it can move, it can move a little.
01:22Because of this, this crack is coming.
01:24This crack is not any kind of weakness.
01:27This bridge will not be weak, it will not break, it will not fall.
01:32Vishwajit Singh, ETB Bharat, Jabalpur.
01:35It is a matter of photographs of the country.
01:39It is a technical matter.
01:41There is no question of structural, i.e. the security of the bridge,
01:45the strength of the bridge, the design of the bridge.
01:50But what is generally seen with the naked eye,
01:53that this is such an important project of 600-700 crores,
01:56it is as beautiful as that.
01:58It is the pride of the city.
02:00So it should have as good a look as its beautification.
02:04Because rotary is such a thing that there is a beam outside,
02:07there is a beam inside, the beam expands in cold and heat.
02:11So it has been told to me that due to its expansion,
02:14the joint, there is a gap in it.
02:17We are getting it tested by the technical team.
02:20Why did that gap come?
02:22If there is a gap, then how can we not make it a cause of trouble
02:26for a ride, for a car, for a scooter.
02:29And in the coming long term, if water goes inside it,
02:32or there will be no such problem, we will get it studied.
02:36But I want to tell you that there is no structural or design issue.
02:41But after the rotary is made,
02:44the visual or riding quality or surface,
02:47as it has been said, we can see a little crack.
02:50You must have seen it too.
02:52In that, by applying sealant or coating it on top,
02:55by applying thermoplastic paint,
02:57we can make it even better,
02:59so that a strong bridge of the city,
03:01not only remains strong, but also remains beautiful.
03:03Sir, how many centimeters should it be,
03:05the cracks that are being made?
03:07Will it increase, decrease or what will be left?
03:09There will be some solution for this.
03:11See, all the elevated corridors that we go to,
03:14you must have seen in all places,
03:16the slabs that are there,
03:18the expansion joint is left in between those slabs.
03:21That expansion joint can be of 10 mm,
03:2320, 30 and 40 mm.
03:25That is, from 2 inches to 3-4 inches.
03:28If you have seen the railway tracks,
03:30there is a gap between the two tracks.
03:32Because there is a difference of 30-40 degrees
03:34between summer and winter.
03:37So it is low, it spreads and is small.
03:40So it is necessary to leave that gap.
