As per IRC : 6-2000, Class 'A' loading for 59.5 KN/m2 (The equivalent UDL is calculated considering the dispersion of wheel
having carraige widths more than 5.30m load as per the clause mentioned) load dispersion calculation sheet
and less than 9.60m = 11.4 tonne per Axle enclosed.
Density of soil = 18 KN/m3
Angle of repose = 30 deg
Density of Concrete = 25 kN/m3
Density of Water = 10 kN/m3
Grade of Concrete M 20
Grade of Reinforcement = Fe 415
2. Permissible stresses:
c- 7 N/mm2
t- 150 N/mm2 (water face)
t- 190 N/mm2 (away from water face)
m- 13.333
k- 0.384
j- 0.872
Q- 1.171
4. Loads:
Self weight of top slab = 0.25 x 25 = 6.25 KN/m2
Super Imposed Dead Load = 4 KN/m2
Live Load = 59.5 KN/m2
Total Load = w = 69.75 KN/m2
p= 18 x 1.75 x 0.33
= 11 KN/m2
w= 18 KN/m3
Uniform lateral pressure due to effect of super imposed dead load and live load surcharge is calculated as
p= ( 59.5 + 4 ) x 0.33
= 21 KN/m2
Uniform lateral pressure due to effect of super imposed dead load surcharge only is
p= 4 x 0.33
= 1.33 KN/m2
p = wh = 10 x 1.75
= 17.5 KN/m2
The maximum design moments resulting from the combination of various loading cases are determined. The moments at the centre
of span of top and bottom slabs and the support sections and at the centre of the vertical walls are determined by suitably
combining the different loading patterns. The maximum moments generally develop for the following loading conditions.
1. When the top slab supports the Dead and Live Loads and the culvert is empty.
2. When the top slab supports the Dead and Live Loads and the culvert is running full.
3. When the sides of the culvert do not carry Live Loads and the culvert is running full.
The slabs of the box culvert drains are designed to reinforced on both faces of the members.
