  • Calculating the Self weight of pier cap

Considering rectangular shape pier cap

Where

Lenght = 5 meter , Breadth = 2 meter , Height 1.8 Meter

Weight of the pier cap is = 5 x 2 x 1.8 x 2.5

= 45 T

  • Calculating Selfweight of the pier

Considering circular shape pier

WherThe diameter

Diameter of the pier is 1.2 Meter, and Length is 10 Meter

Weight of the pier is = 1.13 x 10 x 2.5

= 28.28 T

Total Load on Pier bottom

= [ 289 + 147 + 193 + 45 + 28.28 ]

P = 702.28 T

Calculating Longitudinal Moment (ML)

Dead Load

ML = ( 144.5 x 0.45 ) - (144.5 x 0.45)

= 0 T

SIDL

ML = (78.5 x 0.45) - (78.5 x 0.45)

= 0 T

Live Load

ML = (95.72 x 0.45) - (96.41 x 0.45)

= 0.3105

Total Longitudinal Moment (ML) at pier bottom

= [ 0 + 0 + 0.3105 + 45 + 28.28 ]

ML = 73.60 Calculation

Claculation Transverse Moment (MT)

From the above calculation refrences MT = 0 T

We have the Total load, total ML and MT at pier bottom

Therefore

P (T) ML (T) MT (T)
702.25 73.6 0

We Refer Foundation parameter from the Vilectureture

A1 5.25 m2
A2 81 m2
Total weight of foundation 455.6 T
Area of foundation 81 m2
ZL or ZT 121.5 m3

Governing Load Case

P(t) / A ML / ZL MT / ZL
8.669753 0.605761 0

Adding self-weight of the footing in a bove value so we get

= 9.28 + 5.62 :- 14.90

= 8.06 + 5.62 :- 13.32

  • Bending Moment at the face of the pier

= `(14 xx (3.25^2)/2+ (14.9-14)/2 xx 3.25 xx 2/3xx3.25)xx8`

= 616.85 t-m

  • Shear Force at d Distance from the Face of pier (Per Meter)

=`14.25 xx (3.25-2.25) + (14.9-14.25)/2 xx (3.25 - 2.25)`

= 14.575 t-m

Que (4):- Calculate the load at the base of the pier - Wind, Seismic, LWR, Breaking and Centrifugal force with the following data.

Loacation of the metro viaduct - Chennai

Height of the pier = 10 M

Speed of the train = 75 km/h

Radius of curvature = 1000 m

Answer:-

  • Wind Load
  • This load comes into play when wind applied force on the structure.
  • In this case the wind pressure will be normal, allowing the movement of live load.

`Vz = Vb xx K1 xx K2 xx K3`

Where,

Vb (m/s) is regional basic wind speed.

K is tarain factor

Calculation of wind load is based on IS-875 (part 3) - 1987

The design wind speed at heighis consideredider as followed:

`Vz = Vb xx K1 xx K2 xx K3`

Vb(m/s): Regional basic wind speed, taken 50 m/s for Chennai City

General Parameters
Total Structure Height above ground H = 10
Regional Basic Wind speed Vb = 50
Probability Factor K1 = 1.08
Terrain Height & Structure size factor K2 = 0.82 Category 3 Terrain,
Topography Factor K3 = 1
    Design Wind Speed at Height z,

`Vz = Vb xx K1 xx K2 xx K3`

`Vz = 50 xx 1.08 xx 0.82 xx 1`

= 44.28 m/s

Wind Pressure,

`Pz = 0.6 xx Vz^2`

`Pz = 0.6 xx 44.28^2`

= 1176.44 N/m2

= 0.119 t/m2

  • Seismic Load
  • This load comes into play during earthquake, when the structure vibrate in the longitudinal direction.
  • Live Load is not consider in the consider in this case as vibration don't have any impact on the live as it rolls away

Seismic Acceleration :- Ah = (Z/2) x (I/R) x (Sa/g) , Where:

Ah = horizontal seismic coefficient to be considered in design

Z = Zone factor = 0.16 (For Chennai)

I = Importance factor = 1.50

R = Response reduction factor

= 4 , for pier

Sa/g being computed as per IRC 6 :2017 for medium soil site

Mathematical expression are:

Sa/g = 1 + 15 T for 0.0 < T < 0.10

Sa/g = 2.5 for 0.10 < T < 0.55

Sa/g = 1.36/T for 0.55 < T < 4.00

  • LWR Force
  • The "Long Welded Rail" force acts on the structure due to the stresses generated in the railz
  • It is generated by the expansion/contraction of the rail due to increase/decrease in temperature.
  • LWR force are consider to be 0.8 t/m/track

Longitudinal LWR force = 0.8 t/m/track for two Track

Transverse force on the pier due to LWR : F [ `DeltaT` * `alpha` * Arail * Erail ] * [ no of rail ] * [ span length ] / R

where,

`DeltaT` = Temperature difference = 34 degree

`alpha` = Temperature coefficient = 1.17E-0.5 per degree

Arail = Area of one rail = 200000 MPa

Erail = Elastic modulus of rail = 7670 mm2/Rail

Number of Rail = 3 nos

Span lenght, Span 1 = 25 M

Span 2 = 25 M

Radius off Curvature = 100000

Transverse force acting @ Rail Level LWR = [ `DeltaT` * `alpha` * Arail * Erail ] * [ no of rail ] * [ span length ] / R

= [ 34 * `1.17xx10^-5` * 200000 * 7670 ] * [ 3 ] * [ 27 ] / 100000

= 45.80 Mpa

  • Braking Load
  • This Load comes into play when the train applies brakes while moving
  • It is taken as 18% of the unfactored vertical loads.

Consider train load as 193 T, So 18 % of 193 = 34.74 kN

  • Centrifugal Force
  • This load acts on curved span
  • It shall be calculated with the actual maximum allowable speed of the train in curve according to plan radius of curvature.
  • Coefficient of CF = `V^2/(127xx R)`

Where,

`V^2` is design speed of the train in km/h

`R` is the radius of curve span in meter.

CF = `V^2/(127xx R)`

= `75^2/(127 xx 1000)`

= 0.0454
