GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND DESIGN METHODOLGY
The proposed cast-in-situ unreinforced concrete structures is a multi-cells storm drainage Culvert along road (Typical). The structure is des
resisting frames consisting of unreinforced precast concrete arches roof and unreinforced conrete walls on continuous unreinforced base s
supported by node springs. The whole structure is modelled as series of elements, analyzed and designed by STAAD Pro structural progr
using Ultimate Strength Design (USD) method. All applicable loads are in accordance with MOT and AASHTO requirements and applied on
selfweight, soil pressure and surcharge on exterior walls etc. Wheel load pressure per MOT Design Trucks & Lane Loads such as; standard
150 kN for moment and 220 kN concentrated loads spread over lane width; 3 axle 600 kN (61.2T) truck per lane, and 320 kN (32.62T) hypo
are applied on structure in different loading pattern/cases similar to a moving loads All these loads are applied systematically in various crit
corresponding load factor multipliers, as required by AASHTO. Please refer to design load calculations, Wheel Loads Summary Table and d
designed to safely withstand the vertical and lateral loads due to traffic and earth and comply with minimum factors of safety and 100 kPa r
bearing capacity as per RC manual.
