Project ref: C4124 Checking of 8m span of Box Drain in Longitudinal Direction

Project Title: Nicoll Highway Station Uniform LL =

30 kN/m2
Property of the Box Culvert
Section Area A = 3.99 m2 2050 mm
Top Slab thickness
Section Modulus T= 350 mm
I = 5482925000000 mm4 Internal Depth

Lever Arm Z
S = 3.42683E+09 mm3 D= 2.5 m Wall thickness 2.85 m
Internal width t= 350 mm
(1)-- Design Moment B= 2.5 m
Moment coeff. = 0.11 (at first interior support)
Moment coeff. = 0.08 (at interior support)
Moment coeff. = 0.07 (at middle interior span)
M= 2823 kN.m (at interior support) Base Slab thickness
Pile support distance b= 350 mm
Spacing = 8 m

Compression stress
s= 0.824 N/mm2

Simplified Approach: M = F * Z
Lever arm Z = 2.85 m
Tension/Comp F = 990 kN
Tension reinf't req 2475 mm2 Yield strength = 460 mm2
reinforcement at Base slab = T 13 @ 150 mmc/c
Equivalent reinf't area over base slab = 2787 mm2 Longi reinf't OK

Design Forces
Design LL = 30 kN/m2 = 96 kN/m
Earth weight DL= 41 kN/m2 = 131.2 kN/m
Self weight SW= 95.76 kN/m = 95.76 kN/m
Water Weight WL= 2.5 m height = 80 kN/m
Service Load = 1.0*(DL+SW+WL+LL) = 402.96 kN/m
Ultimate Load qult = 1.4*(DL+SW)+1.0*WL+1.6*LL = 551.344 kN/m

(3) Shear force check

Shear coeff. = 0.55 (at interior support)
Shear foce @ av from supportface = 174 kN/side wall
shear stress = 0.161 N/mm2
Shear resist. vcmin= 0.4 N/mm2 Shear OK
