CALCULATION OF CDA

CALCULATION OF CDA (IMPACT FACTOR)

Effective of Height of wall= Clear height + Thickness of wall
1.80 0.35

Bottom of sleeper level Rail level -0.4M.

Ballast cushion Bottom of sleeper - Formation level

Earth cushion Formation level - Top of top slab level

2.00 m

C.D.A.AT THE BOTTOM OF SLEEPER LEVEL

0.15+8/(6+L)

Since CDA is more than 1 , Hence CD 1.00

Total Cushion 2.32 m

CDA st top of box
Formula one (For Total Cushion<0.9) 0.5x (2- Depth of fill/0.9)x CDAs
Not Applicable

Formula two (For Total Cushion>0.9) 0.5x (3-(Depth of fill-0.9))x CDAs/3

DISPERSION LENGTH

I) Length of Sleeper + Total cushion + 5.84 m

+ Eff. Span/2
II) Segment length or Barrel Length 6.85 m
III) Centre to Centre of Track 5.30 m
IV) Length of sleeper+ Total cushion 5.07 m
Whichever is less
Hence Dispersion length = 5.07 m

Effective span = 1.55 m

NOTE-
DESPERSION LENGTH IN 2 M CUSHION IS MORE THAN 0 M CUSHION
SO THAT WE CAN SAY THAT 0 M CUSHION IS MORE CRITICAL THAN
2 M CUSHION.

REQUIRED AREA OF STEEL IN 2 M CUSHION IS LESS THAN 0 M CUSHION

% steel (Ast. supportx 100/dx100) = 0.39
% steel = 0.25 0.50 0.39
Permissible Shear Stress= 0.23 0.31 0.27
Hence Final Per. S. S.= 0.27 N/sq.mm
Unbalanced Shear Force= 67.44 KN
