ANNEXURE - A
DESIGN OF GRATINGS FOR TRANSFORMER FOUNDATION
1.0 GENERAL DATA:

Maximum Length of Grating = 750 mm

Maximum Width of Grating = 750 mm
Depth of flat = 40 mm
Thickness of Flat = 5 mm
Spacing of Flat = 75 mm
2.0 LOADING CALCUALTION:

Weight of Gravel above Grating = 1.5 kN/m

2
(Unit Weight of Gravel = 15 kN/m2)
2
Weight of Gravel above Grating = 0.75 kN/m

Live Load Considered Over Grating = 3 kN/m2

Total Load on Grating = 1.5 + 0.75 + 3

2
= 5.3 kN/m
3.0 CALCULATION FOR B.M and SECTION MODULUS:

Number of Flats,n = 750 / 75

= 10 Nos.

Maximum Bending Moment (B.M) = W.l2 / 8

Where,W = 5.3 x 0.75

= 3.9 kN/m
Hence,Bending Moment = 0.2769 kN.m

Moment of Inertia of Grating about = n x (b.d3/12)

the bending axis,I
4
= 266666.7 mm
Section Modulus,Z = I / y
2
= 13333.33 mm

4.0 CHECK FOR BENDING STRESS:

Actual Bending Stress = M / Z

2
= 20.764 N/mm

Permissible Bending Stress = 0.8fy (As per BS 5950-1:2000)

Where,W = 0.8 x 250

= 200 N/mm
2
> 20.76 N/mm2
Hence Safe

5.0 CHECK FOR DEFLECTION:

Actual Deflection = 5.W.l4 / 384.E.I

= 0.30 mm

Allowable Deflection = l / 200 (As Per BS 5950-1:2000)

= 750 / 200
= 3.75 mm > 0.30 mm
Hence Safe
Hence Provide M.S.Flats of 40mmx5mm at 75 mm c/c and 25mmx5mm at 25mm c/c
at right angles to each other.
