    Abutment Stem Design

    This document summarizes the design of an abutment stem for a bridge. It was determined that the abutment stem should be designed as a cantilever slab based on the maximum design axial load being less than a threshold. The design was carried out for the seismic combination of loads since it resulted in a higher design bending moment. The bottom section of the stem was then designed with reinforced concrete including calculating the required area of vertical and horizontal rebar. Shear reinforcement was found to not be necessary. The mid-section design followed a similar process.

    Design of Abutment Stem

    Result of analysis shows that maximum design axial load (Pu =1015 KN) is less than
    0.1fckAc (0.1x20x1000x1000x10-3 = 2000KN). For the case, where Pu ≤ 0.1fckAc ,
    compression member is treated as flexure member. So, abutment stem has been
    designed as a cantilever slab.

    Since the design bending moment is higher in seismic combination of loads, design of
    abutment stem has been carried out for seismic combination of loads only.

    Design of bottom section

    Check depth of slab

    Let us provide clear cover of 50mm and dia. of 28mm.

    Then, d = 1650 – 75 – 32/2 =1559 mm

    For balanced section,


    𝑥𝑢,𝑚𝑎𝑥 𝑥𝑢,𝑚𝑎𝑥
    𝑀𝑢 = 0.36 (1 − 0.416 ) 𝑏𝑑𝑏𝑎𝑙 2 𝑓𝑐𝑘
    𝑑 𝑑

    𝑥𝑢,𝑚𝑎𝑥
    Where, 𝑀𝑢 = 3366 KNm, = 0.48, 𝑓𝑐𝑘 =20 N/mm2, b=1559 mm
    𝑑

    ∴ 𝑑𝑏𝑎𝑙 = 884 mm

    𝑑𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣 > 𝑑𝑏𝑎𝑙

    Finding reinforcing bars

    Since, 𝑑𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣 > 𝑑𝑏𝑎𝑙 , the section is designed as Singly Reinforced Under-Reinforced
    Section (SRURS).

    Main vertical bars (Vertical bars in the side of backfill)

    𝑀 3366𝑥106
    We have, 𝑏𝑑𝑢2 = 1000𝑥15592= 1.39; Pt = 0.43%

    0.43
    𝐴𝑠𝑡 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = x 1000 x 1559 = 6703.7 𝑚𝑚2
    100

    Provide 32mm ∅ bar @ 110 mm c/c , 𝐴𝑠𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑣 = 7238.23 𝑚𝑚2 , 𝑃𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑣 = 0.48%
    Outer vertical reinforcement (Vertical bars in the side of river)

    Take 0.12% of gross cross sectional area of abutment as outer vertical reinforcement.
    0.12
    𝐴𝑠𝑡 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = x 1000 x 1559 = 1870.8 𝑚𝑚2
    100

    Provide 16 mm ∅ bar @ 100 c/c, 𝐴𝑠𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑣 = 2010.62𝑚𝑚2 , 𝑃𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑣 = 0.13%

    Horizontal Reinforcement

    Take 𝐴𝑠 =0.1% of stem area of abutment = 0.001 x 9442898.761 = 9443 𝑚𝑚2

    Provide 16 ∅ – 47 nos on each face of abutment.

    Check bottom section for shear

    Check 𝜏𝑢𝑣 ≤ 𝑘𝜏𝑢𝑐


    𝐻𝑦 557𝑥1000
    Where, 𝜏𝑢𝑣 = 𝑏𝑑 = 1000𝑥1559 = 0.36 N/𝑚𝑚2

    𝜏𝑢𝑐 = 0.47 N/𝑚𝑚2 for M25 and 𝑃𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑣 = 0.48%

    𝜏𝑢𝑐,𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 2.8 N/𝑚𝑚2

    k=1

    Since, 𝜏𝑢𝑣 < 𝑘𝜏𝑢𝑐 , No need of shear reinforcement.

    Design of Mid-section (4m from base of abutment)

    Check depth of slab

    Let us provide clear cover of 50mm and dia. of 32mm.

    Then, d = 1650 – 75 – 32/2 =1559 mm

    For balanced section,


    𝑥𝑢,𝑚𝑎𝑥 𝑥𝑢,𝑚𝑎𝑥
    𝑀𝑢 = 0.36 (1 − 0.416 ) 𝑏𝑑𝑏𝑎𝑙 2 𝑓𝑐𝑘
    𝑑 𝑑

    𝑥𝑢,𝑚𝑎𝑥
    Where, 𝑀𝑢 = 1775 KNm, = 0.48, 𝑓𝑐𝑘 =20N/mm2, b=1559 mm
    𝑑

    ∴ 𝑑𝑏𝑎𝑙 = 574 mm

    𝑑𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣 > 𝑑𝑏𝑎𝑙
