Assuming 0.475m allowance for guide posts/kerbs and the clear distance of vehicle from
the edge of guide post being 0.15m as per clause 207.1,the value of 'f' shown in the figure will
be 0.625m
Hence,the width of area to be loaded with 5KN/m2 on left side is (f) = 0.625m
Similarly,the area to be loaded on right side (k) = 3.525m

Calculation of reactions on abutments:-
Reaction due to loads Ra = 238.88KN
Reaction due to point loads = Rb = 114.48KN
Hence,the critical reaction is Ra = 238.88KN
The corrected reaction at obtuse corner = 238.88KN
Assuming that the live load reaction acts at the centre of the contact area on the abutment,

The eccentricty of the line of action of live load at bottom of abutment = 0.415m
----do----on top of 1st footing = 0.415m
----do----on top of 2nd footing = 0.340m
The eccentricity in the other direction need not be considered due to high section modulus in transverse
direction.
3.Impact of vehicles:-
As per Clause 211 of IRC:6--2000,impact allowance shall be made by an increment
of live load by a factor 4.5/(6+L)
Hence,the factor is 0.419
Further as per clause 211.7 of IRC:6--2000,the above impact factor shall be only
50% for calculation of pressure on piers and abutments just below the level of bed block.There
is no need to increase the live load below 3m depth.
As such,the impact allowance for the top 3m of abutments will be
For the remaining portion,impact need not be considered.
4.Wind load:-
The deck system is located at height of (RTL-LBL) 1.82m
The Wind pressure acting on deck system located at that height is considered for design.
As per clause 212.3 and from Table .4 of IRC:6---2000,the wind pressure at that
hieght is=
59.48 Kg/m2.
Height of the deck system = 1.670
Breadth of the deck system = 5.34
The effective area exposed to wind force =HeightxBreadth =
Hence,the wind force acting at centroid of the deck system =

(Taking 50% perforations)
Further as per clause 212.4 of IRC:6---2000 ,300 Kg/m wind force is considered to be
acting at a hieght of 1.5m from road surface on live load vehicle.
Hence,the wind force acting at 1.5m above the road surface =
The location of the wind force from the top of RCC raft footing =
5.Water current force:-
Water pressure considered on square ended abutments as per clause 213.2 of

IRC:6---2000 is
P = 52KV2 = 17.94 Kg/m2.
(where the value of 'K' is 1.5 for square ended abutments)
For the purpose of calculation of exposed area to water current force,only 1.0m
width of abutment is considered for full hieght upto HFL
Hence,the water current force = 0.33KN
Point of action of water current force from the top of RCC raft footing =
6.Tractive,braking effort of vehicles&frictional resistance of bearings:-
The breaking effect of vehicles shall be 20% of live load acting in longitudinal
direction at 1.2m above road surface as per the clause 214.2 of IRC:6--2000.
As no bearings are assumed in the present case,50% of the above longitudinal
force can be assumed to be transmitted to the supports of simply supported spans resting on
stiff foundation with no bearings as per clause 214.5.1.3 of IRC:6---2000
Hence,the longitudinal force due to braking,tractive or frictional resistance of
bearings transferred to abutments is
35.34KN
The location of the tractive force from the top of RCC raft footing =
7.Buoyancy :-
As per clause 216.4 of IRC:6---2000,for abutments or piers of shallow depth,the

dead weight of the abutment shall be reduced by wieght of equal volume of water upto HFL.
The above reduction in self wieght will be considered assuming that the back fill
behind the abutment is scoured.
For the preliminary section assumed,the volume of abutment section is

i)Volume of abutment section = 8.57Cum
ii)Volume of top footing = 2.48Cum
iii)Volume of 2nd footing = 2.72Cum
iv)Volume of 3rd footing = 0.00Cum
v)Volume of 4th footing = 0.00Cum
13.77Cum
Reduction in self wieght = 137.72KN
8.Earth pressure :-
As per clause 217.1 of IRC:6---2000,the abutments are to be designed for a
surcharge equivalent to a back fill of hieght 1.20m behind the abutment.
The coefficient of active earth pressure exerted by the cohesion less back fill on
the abutment as per the Coulomb's theory is given by
'2
Ka = Sin(a+Q)
sina sin(a-q) sin(Q+q)sin(Q-b)
sin(a+b)
Sin(a+Q) = SIN[3.14*(72.86+30)/180] = 0.975

Sin(a-q) = SIN[3.14*(72.86-15)/180] = 0.846
Sina = SIN[3.14*(72.86)/180] = 0.955
Sin(Q+q) = SIN[3.14*(30+15)/180] = 0.707
Sin(Q-b) = SIN[3.14*(30-0)/180] = 0.5
Sin(a+b) = SIN[3.14*(72.86+0)/180] = 0.955
From the above expression,
Ka = 0.45
The hieght of abutment above GL,as per the preliminary section assumed =

9.Siesmic force :-
As per clause 222.1 of IRC:6---2000,the bridges in siesmic zones I and II need not be
designed for siesmic forces.The location of the slab culvert is in Zone-I.Hence,there is no need to
design the bridge for siesmic forces.

DESIGN OF RAFT FOR THE SLAB CULVERT
Name of the work:-Construction of Slab culvert on the R/f R&B Road to Sariapalli SC colony
Abutment
Abutment
Length of the Raft:- = 7.00m
Width of the Raft:- = 6.75m
Total load on the Raft:-
Dead Load:-
Wt.of Deck slab = 257.44Kn
Wt.of wearing coat = 48.88Kn
Wt.of bed blocks over abutments = 90.76Kn
Wt.of abutments
Footing-I = 118.80Kn
Footing-II = 130.68Kn
Wt.of abutments = 411.58Kn
Total 1058.14Kn
Dead load stress = 22.39Kn/Sqm
Live Load:-
Taking IRC Class-A loading
Wheel width in the direction of movement =0.2+0.2+0.25/2 = 0.625m
11.4 11.4 2.7

1.2 3.2 1.925
0.625
7.00m
Centre of gravity of loading from 1st 11.4t load =
= 1.00m
Centre of gravity from the end of raft = 1.625m
Stress due to live load = 1xP(1+6e/b)

(Taking single lanes) A
Max.stress = 20.13Kn/Sqm
Min.stress = -5.03Kn/Sqm
Total stress due to dead load and live load
Max.Stress = 42.52Kn/Sqm
Min.Stress = 17.36Kn/Sqm
Assuming the depth of raft as 40cm
Stress due to self weight of raft = 10.00Kn/Sqm
Stress due to wieght of base concrete = 7.20Kn/Sqm
Hence,the Max.stress on the soil = 59.72Kn/Sqm
Which is less than 6.5t/sqm(Soil testing report)
Hence safe.
Net Max.upward pressure acting on Raft = 42.52Kn/Sqm
Net Min.upward pressure acting on Raft = 17.36Kn/Sqm
The design stress = 29.94Kn/Sqm
Hence,the UDL on the raft = 29.94Kn/m
Design of Raft:-
The raft will be analysed as a continuous beam of 1m width with the loading
as shown below:-
0.975 5.05 0.975
UDL of 29.94Kn/m
After analysis the bending moment diagram is as given below:
115
20.2
Max.Negative bending moment Mu = 115.00KNm
Max.Positive bending moment Mu = 20.20KNm
Effective depth required d = Mu/0.133fckb = 185.97mm
Over all depth provided = 400.00mm
Effective depth provided(Assuming 40mm cover) d = 337.50mm
Top steel:-
Mu/bd2 = 1.01
From table 3 of SP 16,percentage of steel required = 0.245
Area of steel required = 826.88sqmm
Bottom steel:-
Mu/bd2 = 0.177
From table 3 of SP 16,percentage of steel required/Minimum steel = 0.15

Hence provide 10mm dia HYSD bars@ 125mm c/c spacing at bottom
and provide 12mm bars at 100mm c/c at top
Hence Ast provided at top = 1130.40sqmm
Hence Ast provided at bottom = 628.00sqmm
Provide distribution reinforcement of 0.12% both at top and bottom
Area = 480.00sqmm
Adopting 10mm dia bars,the spacing required is = 163.54mm
Hence provide 10mm dia bars @ 150mm c/c spacing at top& bottom as distribution steel

(MFL+Vertical clearence)
7.Road Crest level 2.605

(Bottom of deck level+thickness of deck slab)
8.Width of carriage way 5.500
Discharge Calculations:-
1)From the data furnished by the Irrigation Department:-
Design discharge = Nil
2)Area Velocity method:-
Depth of flow w.r.t HFL = 0.920m
Bed width = 2.50m
Assuming side slopes 1:1.5 in clayey soils,top width at HFL = 3.880m
Wetted Area = 2.93sqm
Wetted perimetre = 5.10m
Hydraulic Radius R= Total area/Wetted perimeter = 0.58
Velocity V = 1/nX(R2/3XS1/2) 0.23m/sec
Discharge Q = AXV 0.68Cumecs
Design Discharge = 0.680Cumecs

Design Velocity = 0.230m/sec
Ventway Calculations(H.F.L Condition):-
Assuming the stream to be truly alluvial,the regime width is equal to linear waterway required for the drain.
Hence,as per Lacey's silt theory,the regime width W = 4.8Q 1/2 = 4.8*0.680.5 = 3.96m
The actual top width is almost equal to the above regime width.Hence,the stream is almost truly alluvial in nature.
As per IRC:SP--13,the ventway calculations for alluvial streams are as given below:-
Assuming afflux = x = 0.15m

Width of channel at H.F.L(b+h) = 3.88m
Clear span = 4.00m
Effective linear water way = 4.00m
Depth of flow = di = 0.92m
Head due to velocity of approach = (Vmax2/2g)X[di/(di+x)]2 0.002m
Combined head due to Velocity of approach and hi = 0.152m

afflux
Velocity through vents Vv = 0.90X(2ghi)1/2 = 1.55m/sec
Linear water way required LWW = Qd/(VvXdi) = 0.48m
No.of vents required = LWW /LC = 0.12

Say---1 Vent
In alluvial streams,the actual width of the stream should not be reduced,as it results in enhanced scour
depth and expensive training works.
Hence No.of vents required as per the width of the stream at H.F.L= 0.97
No.of vents to be provided 1Nos
No.of piers = 0Nos
Scour Depth Calculations:-
As per the clause 101.1.2 of IRC:5--1985,the design discharge should be increased by 30% to ensure adequate
margin of safety for foundations and protection works
Hence,the discharge for design of foundations = 1.30XDesign Discharge =

Lacey's Silt factor ' f ' = 1.76Xm1/2(For fine silt) =
Discharge per metre width of foundations = q =
Normal scour depth D = 1.34(q2/f)1/3 =
Maximum scour depth Dm = 1.5XD =
Depth of foundation = Dm + Max.of 1.2m or 1/3 D m =
Bottom level of foundation =
Depth of foundation below low bed level =
The Minimum Safe Bearing capacity of the soil is considered as 60 KN/m2 at a depth of 1.60m below LBL
Hence open foundation in the form of raft is proposed at a depth of 1.60m below LBL,ie,at a level of
Cut-off walls and aprons are not required from scour depth point of view

Hence section is safe from shear strength point of view
The design shear strength of concrete for the above steel percentage from
Table 19 of IS 456 is
0.46 N/sqmm > 0.34
Hence,no shear reinforcement is required.
