M25 grade of concrete for abutment cap Fe415 HYSD bars for all RC work
• Geometry of Abutment:
Seating width : 800mm
Height of dirt wall = 1.35m Thickness of dirt wall = 0.25m
Width of stem of abutment = 1m
Thickness of footing = 0.76m
Width of footing (B) = 3m
Thickness of abutment cap = 350mm
Width of abutment cap = 750mm
Length of abutment = 8800m
Cross-section of Abutment Forces acting on abutment (per unit length) 1. Total Load from superstructure =143.489KN/m 2. Weight of wearing coat = 28.125KN/m 3. Weight of approach slab = 11.186KN/m 4. Live load from superstructure = 47.401 KN/m 5. Load from braking effort • Horizontal braking load per unit length = 7.955 KN/m Vertical reaction due to braking load per unit length=0.802KN/m 6. Wind load[Refer bearing design] • Transverse Wind load per unit length = 4.753KN/m Longitudinal Wind load per unit length = 1.188 KN/m 7. Seismic Load due to the DL and LL from superstructure • Seismic load in transverse direction per unit length = 38.256KN/m Seismic load in longitudinal direction per unit length = 34.437KN/m
8. Load due to temperature variation, creep and shrinkage effect =
0.673KN/m 9. Self- weight of Abutment = 199.735 KN/m
10. Seismic load due to the self weight of abutment = 5.447KN/m
11. Load due to static earth pressure
• Horizontal component of load /length = 105.215KN/m Vertical component of load/ length = 46.845KN/m 12. Load due to dynamic earth pressure Horizontal component of load/length =105.215KN/m Vertical component of load/length = 55.382KN/m
13. Surcharge Load
Horizontal component of load per unit load = 33.424 KN/m Vertical component of load per unit load = 14.881KN/m
14. Backfill weight on heel slab of footing = 368.046KN/m
15. Weight of footing = 100.000KN/m
Design of Abutment stem Methodology
• Abutment stem has been designed as a
cantilever slab. • Design bending moment is higher in seismic combination of loads • So, design of abutment stem has been carried out for seismic combination of loads only. • using limit state method for the calculation of reinforcement of abutment stem. • Results
a. Main vertical bars (vertical bars in the side of backfill)
Provide 28mm φ bar @ 200 mm c/c, on calculation b. Outer vertical reinforcement (vertical bars) Provide 16 mm φ bar @ 250 mm c/c, c. Horizontal Reinforcement Provided 15 - 12 mm φ on each face of abutment Design of Abutment footing • Design Data Factor axial load= 858 KN Eccentricity=570 mm • σtoe = 318.124 kN/m2 • σheel = 176.042 kN/m2 RESULT • Moment about AA axis =1454.241 kN-m • Moment about BB axis = 236.627 kN-m • From one way shear overall footing depth = 1.4m • Reinforcement: 20mm dia bar @ 90mm c/c in both direction of abutment slab
