A-1 INTRODUCTION

This design report contains the design criteria of abutment for the substructure of
proposed Piladuwa railway bridge at chainage 1+650 of 16 m span of matara-
katharagama new rail road development project of Ministry of Transport.

B DESIGN CRITERIA

B-1 DESIGN CODES

The following codes shall be used for analysis and design.

BS 8110 (Part1) 1997 For r/f design of special elements
BS 5400 (Part1) 1990 For genaral concepts
BS 5400 (Part2) 1990 For loads and load combination
BS 5400 (Part4) 1990 For r/f design and service requirement
Geotecnical Investigation Report
ICTAD Document
Guidelines for interpretation of site investigation data for estimating the
carrying capacity of single piles for design of bored and cast in-situ reinforced
concrete piles.

limit state.

B-7 LOAD COMBINATIONS

Load combinations used for the analysis and design of the substructure
and foundation were based on BS codes.

Load cases

For lateral loadings

LC 1 Traction Loads L tract
LC 2 Earth Pressure L earth
LC 3 Transeverse Wind Force L wind
LC 4 Water Pressure L water
LC 5 Live Surchage L surcharge

For gravity loadings

LC 6 Super Dead loads G sdl
LC 7 Super Live Loads G live
LC 8 Weight of soil on cap G soil
LC 9 Verticle Wind Force G wind
LC 10 Self weight G selfwt
