Week 4 Challenge

Aim: Calculate Earth pressure acting on the Abutment wall and applying on Staad pro.

Given Data:

Abutment wall Length=5m

Back fill of Soil=7m

Ground level =3m from foundation level

Creating Single Node:

Creating Offset Node:

Creating offset Nodes at 0.5m in Y-direction

Assigning 0.5 m thickness to Plate

Creation of 5m length and 8m height Abutment wall

Creation of 2m horizontal thick plate

Creating 10.5m X6m plates (For foundation)

Assigning Foundation properties

Complete Render view of Abutment wall

Applying Soil load on back filling side

Applying Soil load on Water side

After doing Perform analysis run Analysis

Displaying Plate stresses Along-Mx(Local)

Displaying Shear force in Y directon

Displaying Max/Min stresses

Displaying Max/Min stresses(Water side)
