Calculation of Longitudinal Forces

Horizontal force at bearing level in the longitudinal direction at fixed bearing (other than elastomeric bearing)
i) Fh - μ (Rg +Rq) Refer Clause 211.5 IRC: 6-2010
= Maximum of
ii) Fh / 2 + μ (Rg + Rq)
Where
Fh = Applied Horizontal force
Rg = Reaction at free end due to dead load and SIDL
Rq = Reaction at free end due to live load load
μ = Coefficent of Friction at movable bearing = 0.03 or 0.05 which ever govern

* Fh (breaking force) is considered 20 % of the first train load + 10 % of the load of the succeeding trains or part
thereof.

Reaction due to dead load and SIDL

DL SIDL Surfacing
Rg = 129.24 + 21.72 + 28.56
= 179.52 tonne

Rq max = 97.53 tonne

Corresponding Live load over Span = 100 tonne of Class 70 R

Breaking Force Fh = 100 x 0.2 + 55.4 x 0.05
= 22.77 tonne

FLongitudinal = Fh - μ (Rg +Rq) = 22.77 - 0.03 x ( 97.5 + 179.5 )

Max of
Fh / 2 + μ (Rg + Rq) = 11.385 + 0.05 x ( 97.5 + 179.5 )

= Max of ( 14.46 , 25.24 )

= 25.2 tonne

Forces due to LL Longitudinal Forces, about bottom of pile cap :

Longitudinal Force HL = 25.2 Tonne
Lever arm from Pile cap bottom = 3.26 m
Moment in about transverse axis MTT = 82.2 tm

Longitudinal Force Frictional Component only :

Longitudinal Force HL = 8.98 Tonne
Lever arm from Pile cap bottom = 3.26 m
Moment in about transverse axis MTT = 29.2 tm
