Concrete Tunnel Design Based on AASHTO-17th & ACI 318-14

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

CONCRETE STRENGTH fc ' = 5 ksi, (34 MPa)
REBAR YIELD STRESS fy = 40 ksi, (414 MPa)

TUNNEL DIMENSIONS L= 40 ft, (9.75 m), (AASHTO Fig 2.5)

H= 20 ft, (4.88 m), (AASHTO Fig 2.5)
C= 9.9 ft, (3.01 m)
S= 16 in, (406 mm)
D= 60 in, (1524 mm) < == Tip: Input D = C - S for full circler section tunnel.
t= 20 in, (508 mm)
REINFORCING (As)
2 layers # 9 @ 8 in o.c., (203 mm), (curvered)
Concrete Cover = 3 in, (76 mm), (AASHTO 8.22.1)
FACTORED SOIL PRESSURE (SD level, including surcharge & seismic ground shaking)
Pt = 1760 psf, (84 kPa) Pb = Pt + Wt = 2671 psf, (128 kPa) [THE DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.]
P1 = 720 ft-pcf, (psf), (34 kPa) P2 = 1820 ft-pcf, (psf), (87 kPa)
