Project 2

Aim

To design pile foundation of a RCC slab bridge having dimensions “15” m span and “5” m height at abutment and width = 12 meters and having vertical capacity as 300 tonnes and horizontal capacity as 40 tonnes per pile. Also, to design the pile cap and its reinforcement.

Size also to be fixed as per design.
M35 concrete and Fe500 steel.
Scour at abutment 4 meters.
Soil density=20 kn/m3 k=0.33 (active)

1000 mm slab can be assumed for 15 m span (For self weight reactions).
