Load Calculation ( Unfactored Loads )

Dead Load coming from Super-Str = 5409.6 kN
SIDL = 1787 kN
Live Load coming from Super-Str = 224.93 kN
(only 20% Live Load is to be Considered in the transverse seismic calculation)

Sub-Total of Vertical Loads = 7421.5 kN

( Factored Loads ) Load Factor ULS

Dead Load coming from Super-Str = 1.35 x 7302.96 kN
SIDL = 1.75 x 3127.25 kN

Design Calculation
The Seismic Arrestor is designed for the seismic force transmitted to it from Super-Structure.
Design Horizontal Force Hu = 5814.5 kN
Design Vertical Force Vu = 0.0 kN
(20% Design Horizontal Force) min. H u = 1162.9 kN

Loads on each Arrestor in the Transverse Direction

Ultimate Shear Force Fu = 5814.5 kN
Horizontal Force Hu = 1162.9 kN
Ultimate Flexural Moment Mu = 2907.8 kNm

Total Primary Tensile Reinforcement = 21524.2 mm
So, Provide 32 Bar - 15 No.s in 2 Layers

Ah 2
Cross sectional area of stirrups = 9425.5 mm
Required Spacing s = 113.3 mm
So, Provide 6 Legged 16 Bar @ 100 spacing c/c

Check for Shear

Ultimate Shear Force Vu = 5814.5 kN
Shear Stress tv = 14.357 N/mm2
As per Table 12B of IRC:21-2000,
Permissble Stresss for 2.9787 % of steel for M 35 = 0.6674 N/mm2

As per Clause 304.7.1.3.3 of IRC:21-2000, the permissible stress in concrete can be increased by a
Factor of,
= 1+ 5x P d= 3.0510 <= 1.500
Ag x fck therfore d 1.5000
Maximum Allowable Shear Stress on block = 1.0012 N/mm2
< 14.357
Hence, Shear Reinforcement is Required

Design Shear Force V ed = 5409.0 kN

Required Shear Friction Reinforcement A sw = 8881.8 mm2
8881.8 < 9547.630
Hence, Shear Strrips are Sufficient
