Design Calculation for YCL Pump House

Pump house self-weight = { ( 17x 11 x 2) + ( 29x 11x 2) + ( 30x 18x 2) } .833x 1150x 1.5
= 392093 lb
= 392.093 Kip
Assume,
Machinery weight = 10 Ton
= 22000 lb
= 22 Kip
Surcharge weight = 100 lb/Sft
= (100x 15x 27)
= 40500 lb
= 40.5 Kip.
Total weight = (393 + 22+41) Kip
= 456 Kip
Applied pressure = (456/ 19x 31) kip/ ft 2
= 0.774 kip/ft 2

Bearing capacity Check

After proper foundation improvement as per provide design, drawings we can assume bearing
capacity of soil = 1.5 Kip/ fi2, Fs = 2.5
Applied load = 456 Kip
Required Area, A r = 456 / 1.5
= 304 Sft
Now, provided Area, A p = (31 x 19)
= 589 sft.
Here, Ar < A p
So, foundation is safe for soil bearing capacity.

Maximum allowable moment for provided section,
Mallow able = As Fs (d - kd/3) + P (tc/2 - kd/3)
= 1.74 ft - Kips.
Here,
Fs = 24 Ksi
t e = 9.63 in.
d = 6.13 in.
Hence Mallow able > M max
So, pump house wall is safe for flexural status.
