Pier Cap Design

The document provides design data and assumptions for an expansion joint bridge, including: 1) Dimensions of the bridge spans, carriageway, pier cap, and pier. 2) Applicable loading standards for live load from vehicles and footpaths. 3) References to design codes and permissible stress values for the concrete and reinforcement steel. 4) Details of the cantilevered pier cap span and equivalent pier length for design. 5) Calculations of direct loads on the pier cap from the superstructure, live load from vehicles, and live load from footpaths.

0 DESIGN DATA, ASSUMPTIONS AND REFERENCES :

1.1 DESIGN DATA :

(i) C/c of expansion joint: Span PD1 - PD2 = 22.500 m


Span AD1 - PD1 & PD2 - AD2 = 7.500 m
(ii) Effective span : = 21.600 m
= 6.600 m
(iii) Overall width : = 18.000 m
(iv) Carriageway: = 14.550 m
(v) Pier-cap:
Top width = 2.000 m
Bottom width = 2.000 m
Ht. of cap = 1.500 m
Top length = 15.750 m
Bottom length = 8.700 m
(v) Pier-cap:
R.C.C. Pier having straight length = 7.500 m
Pier width = 1.000 m

1.2 LOADING STANDARD :

(i) Live load:


CLASS A two lane or single lane 70 R or wheeled vehicle whichever govern
(ii) Footpath Live load:

.
1.2 REFERENCES :

1.4 PERMISSIBLE STRESSES :

Concrete grade M 35
Reinforcement Fe 500
Permissible bending stress in reinforcement steel ( σst ) = 2400.0
Permissible flexural compressive stress in cocrete ( σcbc ) = 116.7
(As per Table 9 of IRC 21 - 2000)
Modular ratio
m = 10.0
k = 0.327
j = 0.891
R = 17.008
.
2.0 DESIGN OF PIER-CAP IN TRANSVERSE DIRECTION :

2.1 SPAN OF CANTILEVER PIER- CAP :


For computing span length of pier-cap equivalent rectangular pier of
same width is considered.

Equvalent length of pier:


L x 1 = 7.5
L = 8.285

Cantilever length of pier-cap:


= 1/2 x (15.75 - 8.285 ) = 3.733 m

3.0 DIRECT LOAD:

3.1 SUPER STRUCTURE :


From RCC Solid Slab span:

Total Load = 300.00 t

3.2 LIVE LOAD :


70 R wheeled vehicle gives maximum reaction at support hence same is
considered here.

Impact factor = 0.163

As per IRC: 6 Clause 208.7 for the design of pier cap Impact factor will be
50 %.
i.e. Impact factor = 0.163/2 = 0.082
Reaction including impact factor :
= 53.358 x 1.082 = 57.707 t

3.2 FOOTPATH LIVE LOAD :


Intensity = P - ( 40 x L - 300 ) / 9
= 500 - ( 40 x 21.6 - 300 ) / 9
= 437.333 kg/cm² say = 440 kg/cm²

Load = 22.5 x 1.5 x 0.44 / 2 = 7.425 t

TOTAL LIVE LOAD = 57.707 + 7.425 = 65.132 t say = 66.000 t
