Design Basis Report Elevated Station

For the concourse area, the following assumption shall be taken:

x Floor finishes assumed to be 3.6 kN/m 2 uniform loads.
x Load due to additional fill in the toilets (brick bat): 3.0 kN/m 2 uniform load
x Suspension load is assumed to be 2.0 kN/m 2 uniform loads. (Suspension load shall
be considered as load of false ceiling, plumbing & electrical equipments, Escalator
Pits etc. This load is applicable wherever necessary.)
NOTE: - The walls loading shall be taken based on actual location shown in architectural
drawings. External wall load/glazing load shall be taken as per details provided in
architectural drawings. It is proposed to take 230mm thick wall with 20mm thick plaster
on either side.
3.3.2 Super Imposed Dead Loads (SIDL) for two tracks:
Details of SIDL for two tracks:
Cables 0.07 t/m
Cable troughs with cover 0.74 t/m
Cable trays 0.01 t/m
Concrete plinths for rails + Rail + Pad 3.10 t/m
Parapet 0.2 t/m
Miscellaneous (OCS, signaling.) 0.40 t/m
Hand Rail 0.08 t/m
Total: 4.6 t/m for two tracks
Say 50 kN/m for two tracks
3.4 Differential Settlement
The limit of differential settlement is as follow: -
x 10mm – Long term settlement
x 5mm – Short term settlement
3.5 Wind Loads
The wind loads shall be taken as per IS : 875-1987 part 3. Wind loads and Seismic Forces
are not considered to act simultaneously. The value of wind load shall be worked out
based upon IS : 875 (Part 3) – 1987.
While designing any element of structure with wind load combinations, increase in
permissible stresses shall be taken as per IS 456 & IS 800, as directed by DMRC.
3.6 Global Temperature changes and shrinkage effects
The temperature and shrinkage analysis has been done as per book "Design Aids for
Limit State Design of Reinforced Concrete Members" by U. H. Varyani & A. Radhaji.
The seasonal variation in temperature, though more than its daily variation, is not
important for structural design, as its effect gets insignificance, on account of creep.
Maximum daily temperature t1 = 47.5 º
C (Fig-1 of IS:875 (5)-1987)

Minimum daily temperature t2 = -2.5 º

As the mean temperature of concreting of floors of a building is not likely to be the

maximum or the minimum daily temperature, the temperature differential for design of
buildings may be taken as + 2/3. (t1 - t2)
o
Temperature differential for design of building = + 2/3 . (t1 - t2) = + 33.33 C
The total shrinkage strain of concrete = 0.0003 (Cl. 6.2.4 of IS : 456 - 2000)
o
Coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete = 1.17E-05 per C
o
Equivalent temperature for shrinkage = -25.64 C

Since total shrinkage strain takes an infinite time to complete and that after about a year
from the date of concreting, it may be half its total value, therefore 50% of this value is
considered for the design of building for shrinkage effect = -12.82ºC

Thus, the temperature differential 't' of members is given by

o
t= 33.33 - 12.82 = 20.51 C for temp. rise & shrinkage
o
t= -33.33 - 12.82 = -46.15 C for temp. fall & shrinkage
For structural design of members, the calculated moments for temperature and
shrinkage loading are to be reduced by 50% for the following reasons:
i) Shrinkage effect is reduced by 50% due to creep in a period of 30 days and gets
reduced further as more time elapses.
ii) Temperature effect is partially reduced by creep, as it occurs gradually over a period
of half a day.
iii) As the peak temperatures last only for a short duration and are, therefore, only skin
deep, the average temperature of a concrete member is the result of outside
temperature of long duration which is much smaller in magnitude than the peak
temperature.
iv) The elastic rebound of the columns reduces the floor displacement causing
reduction in temperature and shrinkage moments.
v) The temperature and shrinkage moments are reduced by any loss of fixity at the
base of columns due to yielding of soil.
However, Manual verification for Temperature & Shrinkage will be proved
EI Value should be as per ACI, however for simplification value is taken half “For
concrete, creep effects may be catered for by assuming an equivalent modulus = E/2
for permanent loads in absence of more accurate analysis.”
Below is the clip of clause 916.3.5 of IRC-83 (Part-2)

Hence the structure should be designed for a differential temperature of

o
t= 20.51 x 0.5 = 10.26 C for temp. rise & shrinkage With full value
t= -46.15 x 0.5 = -23.08 o
C for temp. fall & shrinkage of E
Further as per ACI-318 the cracked inertia of RCC members may be taken as 70% of the
gross inertia.
Therefore effective differential temperature for which the structure should be designed
becomes
o
t= 10.26 x 0.7 = 7.18 C for temp. rise & shrinkage With full value
t= -23.08 x 0.7 = -16.15 o
C for temp. fall & shrinkage of E

3.7 Construction Stage

The Design shall be checked under various construction stages including construction
loads.
3.8 Derailment Loads (DR)
As per latest Design code ACI 358.1R-92, for derailment check, derailment load
corresponds to the application of 50% of one coach weight, applied horizontally as a 5m
long uniform impact load on the track slab top flange. This “DR” load corresponds to an
ULS loads. For SLS combinations, a 1/1.75 coefficient shall be applied to the DR load.

3.9 Collision load (CL)

As per IS875 (Part 5) – 1987 clause .6.1.2, a concentrated load of 630kN at 1.20m above
the road level should be considered in design.

3.10 Rail Structure Interaction

3.10.1 Unit Load Cases – Parameters

Minimum longitudinal rail structure interaction force to be used for checking structural
members shall be uniform load of 1.6 T/m for two tracks

Possibly, Rail Structure Interaction might be performed for specific Rail structure
interaction (RSI) studies analyses the normal stress variation in the long welded rail
generated by:

x Different expansions between the supporting structure and the rail

x Rotations at deck ends due to deck flexure

x Acceleration/braking horizontal loads;
