- 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
