The document calculates the self-weight forces and moments at the bottom of a pile cap due to the substructure and foundation. It summarizes the weight, dimensions, and center of gravity locations of various structural elements including the pier cap, abutment shaft, pier shaft, and pile cap. The total calculated weight of the substructure and foundation is 356.3 tonnes. The lever arms and resulting moments are 0 meters and 0 tonne-meters, respectively, for both the longitudinal and transverse axes.

FORCES DUE TO SELFWEIGHT OF SUB_STRUCTURE & FOUNDATION :
Forces @ pile cap bottom (L-T) Axis
eL = Cg. from c/L of pile group (along L-L axis) eT = Cg. Form c/L of pile group ( along T-T axis) eY = Cg. From cg of pile group
