1.Design Method
1.1.Design Requirements
The report aims to present necessary calculations to provide reinforcement in manholes where
infiltration, traffic load, safety and risk issues cannot be addressed.
2.General
The most crucial condition of the manhole need to be kept under consideration and that is when
the empty and the soil surrounding the wall is wet considering infiltration is blocked.
2.1.Material Properties
The properties of materials used for concrete manholes are as follows:
f`c = specified compressive strength of concrete at 28 days
= 30 MPa for concrete in box culverts
fy = specified minimum yield strength of reinforcement
= 420 MPa
Es = 200000 MPa modulus of elasticity of steel reinforcement LRFD (5.4.3.2)
Ec = modulus of elasticity of concrete in box LRFD [C5.4.2.4]

= for normal density concrete with γ c = 2320 kg/m Ec may be taken as
0.5
= 4800 f`c
= 26290.68 MPa
3.Limit State Design Method

3.1.LFRD Requirements
For manhole design, the component dimensions and the size and spacing of reinforcement
shall be selected to satisfy the following equation for all appropriate limit states, as presented
in LRFD [1.3.2.1]
Q = Σηi γi Qi ≤ φRn = Rr
Where :
ηi = Load modifier
γi = Load factor
Qi = Force effect: moment, shear, stress range or deformation caused by
applied loads
Q = Total factored force effect
φ = Resistance factor
Rn = Nominal resistance: resistance of a component to force effects
Rr = Factored resistance = φRn
3.2.Limit States
The Strength I Limit State is used to design reinforcement for flexure and checking shear in
the slabs and walls, LRFD [12.5.3] . The Service I Limit State is used for checking reinforcement
for crack control criteria, LRFD [12.5.2] .
z
3.3.Load Factors
The following Strength I load factors γ st and Service I load factors, γs1
shall be used for manhole design:

Live Load Surcharge LS 1.50 1.50 1.0
Live Load + IM LL + IM 1.75 1.75 1.0
3.4.Strength Limit State

Strength I Limit State shall be applied to ensure that strength and stability are provided to resist
the significant load combinations that a structure is expected to experience during its design life
LRFD [1.3.2.4].
3.4.1 Factored Resistance

The resistance factor, φ, is used to reduce the computed nominal resistance of a structural element
This factor accounts for the variability of material properties, structural dimensions and workmanship
and uncertainty in prediction of resistance. The resistance factors, φ, for reinforced manholes
for the Strength Limit State per LRFD [Table 12.5.5-1] are as shown below:
Structure Type Flexure Shear

Cast-in-place 0.9 0.85
3.4.2 Moment Capacity

For rectangular sections, the nominal moment resistance, Mn, per LRFD [5.7.3.2.3] (tension
reinforcement only) equals:
2
The factored resistance, Mr, or moment capacity per LRFD [5.7.3.2.1], shall be taken as:
The location of the design moment will consider the haunch dimensions in accordance with
LRFD [12.11.4.2 ]. No portion of the haunch shall be considered in adding to the effective
depth of the section.
z
3.4.3 Shear Capacity

Per LRFD [12.11.4.1] ,shear in manholes shall be investigated in conformance with LRFD[5.14.5.3]
The location of the critical section for shear for manholes with haunches shall be determined in
conformance with LRFD [C5.13.3.6.1] and shall be taken at a distance dv from the end of
the haunch.
In the absence of shear reinforcing, the nominal shear resistance is equal to the shear resistance
of the concrete.The factored resistance, Vr, or shear capacity, per ACI[11.2.1.2] shall be taken as
φVc = φ0.17 (f'c)0.5 bw d
3.5.Service Limit State

Service I Limit State shall be applied as restrictions on stress, deformation, and crack width
under regular service conditions LRFD [1.3.2.2].
3.5.1 Factored Resistance
The resistance factor, φ, for Service Limit State, is found in LRFD [1.3.2.1 ] and its value is 1.00.
3.5.2 Crack Control Criteria
Per LRFD [12.11.3] , the provisions of LRFD [5.7.3.4] shall apply to crack width control
All reinforced concrete members are subject to cracking under any load condition, which
produces tension in the gross section in excess of the cracking strength of the concrete.
Provisions are provided for the distribution of tension reinforcement to control flexural cracking.
Crack control criteria does not use a factored resistance, but calculates a maximum spacing for
flexure reinforcement based on service load stress in bars, concrete cover and exposure condition.
Crack control criteria shall be applied when the tension in the cross-section exceeds 80% of
the modulus of rupture, fr, specified in LRFD [5.4.2.6] for Service I Limit State. The spacing,
s, (in mm) of mild steel reinforcement in the layer closest to the tension face shall satisfy:

γe = 0.6 Exposure factor (Implied crack width 0.25mm)

(1.0 for Class 1 exposure condition, 0.75 for Class 2 exposure condition,
see LRFD [5.7.3.4] for guidance)
dc = thickness of concrete cover measured from extreme tension fiber to center
of the flexural reinforcement located closest thereto(mm).
fss = tensile stress in the steel reinforcement at the service limit state. (MPa)
h = overall thickness or depth of component.(mm)
z
3.6.Minimum Reinforcement Check

Per LRFD [12.11.4.3] , the area of reinforcement, As, in the cross-section should
be checked for minimum reinforcement requirements per LRFD [5.7.3.3.2] .
Unless otherwise specified, at any section of a flexural component the amount of tensile
reinforcement shall be adequate to develop a factored flexural resistance at least equal to lesser of:
A-1.2 times the cracking moment, Mcr, determined on the basis of elastic stress distribution and
the modulus of rapture, fr, of concrete as specified in LRFD[5.4.2.6] where Mcr may be taken as:
Mcr= fr x Sc
fr= 0.52*(f'c)0.5 Mpa modulus of rapture LRFD[5.4.2.6]

Dead Load (DC)

Include the structure self weight based on a unit weight of concrete of 25 kN/m3.
When designing the bottom slab of a culvert do not forget that the weight of the concrete
in the bottom slab acts in an opposite direction than the bottom soil pressure and thus
reduces the design moments and shears. This load is designated as ,DC, dead load
of structural components and nonstructural attachments, for application of load factors
and limit state combinations.
top slab dead load:
W dlts= W c x tts W dlts= 3.75 kN/m
bottom slab dead load
W dlbs= W c x tbs W dlbs= 6.25 kN/m

Vertical Earth Load(EV)

The weight of soil above the buried structure is taken as 20 kN/m 3.
Calculate the modification of earth loads for soil-structure interaction per LRFD [12.11.2.2] .
Embankment installations are assumed.
Installation_Type="Embankment"
ϒs= 20 kN/m3 unit weight of soil
S= 1.4 m span of culvert
(measured between outside faces of exterior walls)
Hs= 0.3 m depth of backfill above top edge of top slab
Calculate the soil-structure interaction factor for embankment installations:
1 0.2 Fe= 1.04 Unitless
Fe shall not exceed 1.15 for installations with compacted fill along the sides of the box section:
Fe= 1.04 Unitless
Calculate the total unfactored earth load:
W e= Fe x ϒs x S x Hs W e= 8.76 kN/m2
Distribute the total unfactored earth load to be evenly distributed across the top of the culvert:
W sv= 6.26 kN/m
Horizontal Earth Load(EH)

The weight of soil surrounding the buried structure is taken as 20 kN/m 3. A coefficient of lateral earth
pressure is used for the lateral pressure from the soil. This coefficient of lateral earth
pressure is based on wet and an effective friction angle of 15º
The lateral earth pressure is calculated per LRFD [3.11.5.1]
Soil horizontal earth load ( magnitude at bottom of wall )
It is obvious that vertical wall shall be act as one way slab.
ko= 0.6 Unitless coeffient of lateral earth pressure
W sh_bot= ko x ϒs x (Ht+Hs) W sh_bot= 75.60 kN/m
z
Live Load Surcharge(LS)

Surcharge loads are computed based on a coefficient of lateral earth pressure times the unit
weight of soil times the height of surcharge.
The uniform distributed load is applied to both exterior walls with the load toward the center
The load is designated as, LS, live load surcharge, for application of load factors and limit state
combinations. Refer to LRFD [3.11.6.4] for additional information regarding live load surcharge.
ko= 0.60 Unitless coeffient of lateral earth pressure

LSht= 10 kN/m² live load surcharge height per
W sll= ko x ϒs x LSht W sll= 120.00 kN/m
Live Loads(LL)
Live load consists of the standard AASHTO LRFD trucks and tandem. Per LRFD [3.6.1.3.3] ,
design loads are always axle loads (single wheel loads should not be considered) and the
lane load is not used.
Where the depth of fill over the box is less than 600mm, wheel loads are distributed per
LRFD[4.6.2.10]
Where the depth of fill is 600 mm or more, the wheel loads shall be uniformly distributed over a
rectangular area with sides equal to the dimension of the tire contact area LRFD [3.6.1.2.5]
increased by the live load distribution factor (LLDF) in LRFD[Table 3.6.1.2.6a-1 ] using provisions
of LRFD [3.6.1.2.6b-c] .
Equivalent Strip Widths for Depth of Fill Less Than 600mm
When the traffic travels primarily parallel to the span, follow LRFD [4.6.2.10.2]. Use a single lane
and single lane multiple presence factor 1.2
Distribution length perpendicular to the span
S= 1.2 m Clear span width
Eperp= 2440 + 0.12 x S E= 2.608 m
Distribution length parallel to the span
LT = 250 mm length of tire contact area, in LRFD[3.6.1.2.5]
LLDF= 1.15 Unitless 1.15 times the depth of the fill in select granular
backfill, or the depth of the fill in all other cases.
as specified in LRFD [3.6.1.2.6]
Eparallel= LT + LLDF x Hs Eparallel= 0.595 m
Aeq= 1.55176 m 2
Per LFRD [3.6.1.2.2] , the weights of the design truck wheel is below. (Note that one axle load is
equal to two wheel loads.)
W wheel= 72.50 kN center and rear wheel weights
The effect of single and multiple lanes shall be considered. In this case, a single lane with the
single lane factor governs. Applying the single lane multiple presence factor:
W wheel= mpf x Wwheel W wheel= 87.00 kN mpf= 1.20
z
LL= Wwheel/Aeq LL= 56.07 kN/m

Dynamic load allowance for buried structures covered by section 12, in percent
