WEEP HOLES PROVIDED
2.1 DEAD LOAD
Self weight of the structure has been calculated directly in STAAD file by the comment "SELFWEIGHT -1".

2.2 SUPER IMPOSED DEAD LOAD

Wearing coat thickness = 0.420 m
2
Load (UDL) on top slab due to Wearing coat = = 10.500 kN/m
Ht of fill except wearing course EARTH CUSHION = 0.000 m
2
Load (UDL) on top slab due to earth cushion = = 0.000 kN/m
Wt of Parapet Wall/Crash Barrier = 10.00 kN/m
Wt of Safety kerb = 0.00 kN/m
Footpath Loading = 0.00 kN/m
2
Total UDL load due to S.I Dead Load = 4.0 kN/m

Load of PCC over inner bottom slab = 0.00 kN/m

Load of PCC over outer bottom slab = 0.00 kN/m

2.4 LIVE LOAD SURCHARGE

Equivalent height = 1.20 m
2
Uniform Intensity of loading (for submerged condition) = 1.2 x 0.5 x 10 = 6.00 kN/m
3
Uniform Intensity of loading (for dry condition) = 1.2 x 0.5 x 20 = 12.0 kN/m

2.5 BRAKING LOAD

Carriageway Live Load = 112.5 kN
Width of the box = 14.0 m
