Live load calculations

1. Max. Shear force due to 70R tracked vehicle = 64.76 t.

2. Max. Shear force due to 70R wheeled vehicle = 83.2 t.
3. Max. Shear force due to Class A vehicle = 40.6 t.

Case (1) One lane of 70 R and one lane of Class A Vehicle

Max. S.F = 83.2 + 40.6 = 123.8 t.

Eccentricity = 0.95 m.

Case (2) Three lanes of Class A Vehicle

Max. S.F = 3 x 40.6 = 121.8 t.

Eccentricity = 0.95 m.

Vehicle Impact

Impact factor = 14 %. (As per IRC 6: 2010)

Eccentricity = 0.95 m.

Wind load (As per IRC: 6-2010)

Total exposed height of pier (including S.S) = 18.478 m.

Basic wind speed in Gadchiroli = 44 m/s.

Hourly mean Wind speed (Vz)= 30.3 x 44/ 33 = 40.4 m/s. (IRC6-2010, clause 209.2 & table 4)

Horizontal wind pressure (Pz) = 550.6 x (44/33)2 = 978.8 N/m2 = 0.098 t/m2.

Horizontal wind force on Super structure

Ft = Pz x A x G x Cd (IRC 6-2010, clause 209.3.3)

Where A = Area of Obstruction = 11 x 9=99m2.

G = Gust factor=2, Cd = Drag coefficient = 1.1

Ft = 0.098x99x2x1.1 = 21.35 t.
Eccentricity = 24.728 m.

Vertical wind force on Super structure

Fv = Pz x A x G x CL (IRC 6-2010, clause 209.3.5)

Where CL = Lift coefficient = 0.75.

Fv =0.098 x (14.8x 30) x 2 x 0.75 = 65.268t.

Eccentricity = 0 m.

Horizontal wind force on Pier

Ft = Pz x A x G x Cd

Height/Breadth = (68.1-53.022)/2.5 = 6.03.

Cd = 0.5 [IRC :6-2010, Table 5]

Ft = 0.098 x (16.132 x 2.5) x 2 x 0.5

Ft = 3.81 t.

Eccentricity = 14.289 m. (Acting at C.G of Pier.)

Transverse Wind Force on L.L

Length of train = 18.8m.

Ft = Pz x A x G x Cd [IRC 6-2010, Clause 209.3.6]

Ft = 0.098 x (18.8 x 3) x 2 x 1.2 = 13.3t.

Eccentricity = 26.378 m. (Acting at 1.5m above R.T.L).

Longitudinal Wind Force on L.L

FL = 0.25 x 13.3 = 3.325t. [IRC 6-2010, Clause 209.3.6]

Eccentricity = 12.54 m.

Water current Force

Intensity of water pressure (p) = 52KV2

Where K = 0.66 and V = 5.39 m/s. (As per hydraulic data.)

So p = 0.997068 t/sq.m

Braking Force

F = 0.2 x 100 + 0.05 x 55.4 = 22.77t. [IRC 6-2010, Clause 211.2, Page No:-33]

Eccentricity = 26.078 m. (Acting at 1.2m above R.T.L).

Centrifugal Force

C=WxV2/ (127R)

Where, W=Live load = 100t

V=Velocity of Vehicle = 80km/hr

R=Radius of Curve = 1000000m (High value of R is adopted for calculations.)

Therefore C = 0.006t acting at 27.953m form foundation level i.e RTL+1.2m

Force parallel to pier = 0.006t acting at 27.953m form foundation level i.e RTL+1.2m

Force across to pier = 0.003t acting at 27.953m form foundation level i.e RTL+1.2m

Buoyancy

 Displaced water by 2500 Pier = π/4(2.5)2x9.9 = 48.6m3

 Displaced water by 3000 Pier = π/4x32x(6.060) = 42.83m3
 Displaced water by Pier Cap = [0.1x15.85+1/2x7.2x1+1/2x6.15x1+2.5x1] x3 =32.28m3
 Displaced water by Footing =[7.5x5.5x2] = 82.5m3

Total water displaced =48.6+42.83+32.28+70 = 193.71m3

Total reduction in wt. due to Buoyancy =193.71x1000 =193.71 t [Density of water=1000kg/m3]

SEISMIC EFFECT

Calculation of fundamental Natural of period T = 2√(D/1000F)

Where,

D= Appropriate dead load of superstructure + L.L
