6 WEIGHT OF SUB STRUCTURE UPTO WELL CAP TOP

a) Weight of varying portion of pier shaft :-

Height of varying portion (m) = 14.25 m

Area of section at top of pier, A1 = 4.79 m2

Area of section at bottom of pier, A2 = 11.14 m2

Area of section at HFL, A3 = 10.68 m2

Volume of pier shaft, V = 110.32 m3

((A1+A2+(A1*A2)0.5)*H/3

b) Weight of the Pier cap :-

Height of uniform portion (m) = 1.00 m

C/S Area of the uniform portion = 37.40 m2

Volume of the uniform portion = 37.4*1.0 = 37.4 m3

Height of varying portion (m) = 0.50 m

Volume of the varying portion = 37.4+(1.2*5.2)+((37.4*(1.2*5.2))^0.5))*0.5/3

= 9.82 m3

Volume of pier cap, = 47.22 m3

((A1+A2+(A1*A2)0.5)*H/3

c) Weight of the Inspection platform :-

Total surface area of the platform = (2*(2.5*(3.4+2*0.7))+2*(11.0*0.7))

= 39.40 m2

Average depth of the platform = 0.225 m

Total volume of the inspection platform = 39.4*0.225 = 8.865 m3

Weight of railing on the inspection platform @ 0.3t/m = [2*(4.8+16.0)]*0.3 = 12.48 t

TOTAL WEIGHT OF PIER SHAFT = 399.38 t

WEIGHT DUE TO PEDESTALS = 1.50 t

TOTAL WEIGHT OF SUBSTRUCTURE = 413.36 t

COMPUTATION OF COMBINED C.G. OF PIER SHAFT FROM PIER CAP LEVEL
FOR SEISMIC ANALYSIS:

Horizontal C.G. of varying portion of pier shaft = 8.073 m

Horizontal C.G. of uniform portion of pier cap = 0.500 m

Horizontal C.G. of varying portion of pier cap = 0.187 m

Horizontal C.G. of inspection platform = 0.125 m

Height of Combined C.G. of substructure from pier cap t = 6.721 m

Therefore RL of combined C.G. of substructure w.r.t. top

of pier cap level = 89.229 m

Height of combined C.G. wrt well cap top = 9.029 m

6 WEIGHT OF SUB STRUCTURE UPTO FOOTING TOP

a) Weight of varying portion of pier shaft :-

Height of varying portion (m) = 3.75 m

Area of section at top of pier, A1 = 14.60 m2

Area of section at bottom of pier, A2 = 9.44 m2

Volume of pier shaft, V1 = 44.73 m3

((A1+A2+(A1*A2)0.5)*H/3
b) Weight of constant bottom portion of pier shaft :-

Height of varying portion (m) = 1.34 m

Area of pier section = 9.44 m2

Volume of pier shaft, V = 12.65 m3

Therefore total volume of pier shaft = 57.38 m3

TOTAL WEIGHT OF PIER SHAFT = 137.72 t

WEIGHT DUE TO PEDESTALS = 1.50 t

7 TOTAL WEIGHT OF SUBSTRUCTURE = 139.22 t

COMPUTATION OF COMBINED C.G. OF PIER SHAFT FROM PIER CAP LEVEL

FOR SEISMIC ANALYSIS:

Horizontal C.G. of varying portion of pier shaft = 1.741 m

Horizontal C.G. of constant portion of pier shaft = 0.670 m

Combined C.G. of pier shaft from pier cap top level = 2.332 m

Therefore RL of combined C.G. of pier shaft w.r.t. top
