IRC 6:2014 Table 3.4 Column 2

Permanent Loads (Dead Load, SIDL except Surfacing = 1

Surfacing = 1
Live Load(Leading Load) = 1

Overall Span of Box = 2.4 m

Box Barrel Length Considered = 14.0 m
Unit Weight of Concrete = 25 kN/m3

1) Self Weight of Box:

Box cross sectional area = 3.44 m2
Total Box Weight = 1202 kN
Factored Total Weight of Box = 1202 kN

2) SIDL (Wearing Coat,Crash Barrier, Footpath etc)

Earth Fill/ Wearing Coat = 81.430 kN/m2
Crash Barrier/ Safety Kerb/ Footpath = 10.0 kN/m
Width of Crash Barrier = 0.5 m
Total Weight of Wearing Coat over box = 2736.0 kN
Total Weight of Crash barrier = 48.0 kN
Total SIDL = 2784.0 kN
Factored SIDL Load = 2784.0 kN

3) Live Load
(70R + Class A) = 684 kN
Factored Live Load = 684 kN
Maximum Eccentricity of LL from c/l of carriageway = 3.905 m
Eccentric Moment in Transverse Direction = 2671.02 kNm
Inertia of base about Longitudinal axis = 548.8 m4
Area of Base = 33.6 m2

Max Base Pressure due to Live Load = 684.00 + 2671 x 7.00

33.60 549
= 54.43 kN/m2
= 54.43 kN/m2 (Increased by 0%)

Max Base Pressure due to DL = 1202.3 = 35.78 kN/m2

33.60

Max Base Pressure due to SIDL = 2784.05 = 82.86 kN/m2

33.6

Total Base Pressure = 173.07 kN/m2 < 250 kN/m2

SAFE
For special Vehicle (385 ton IRC SV loading)
Live load = 360 KN
Factored live load = 360 KN
Maximum Eccentricity of LL from c/l of carriageway = 0.3 m
Eccentric Moment in Transverse Direction = 108.00 KN-m
Inertia of base about Longitudinal axis = 548.8 m4
Area of Base = 33.6 m2
Max base pressure due to live load =
= 12.09 kN/m2
= 12.09 kN/m2 (Increased by 0%)

Total base pressure in SPV loading = 130.73 kN/m2 < 250

SAFE kN/m2
