    The document summarizes the design of an abutment for a bridge substructure. It provides calculations of loads on the abutment from dead loads, live loads, earth pressures, and load combinations. It evaluates the abutment design for eccentricity, sliding resistance, bearing capacity, and bearing stresses and finds the design satisfies the criteria.

    SUBSTRUCTURE
    Substructure consists of abutments and piers. Bearing design will also be dealt with in here

    2.1 Design of Abutment


    2.1.1 Dimensions

    From geotechnical investigation the soil at the bearing layer is clayey silty sand having bearing
    capacity of all = 300 kPa. ult = qult = 1.5 * 300 = 450 kPa for ultimate limit state design
    and = 3*300 = 900 kPa for bearing capacity criterion check.
    2.1.2 Loads
    - Dead load reaction
    RDL = (339.18+5.73) * 2 + (156.31+11.46)*2 = 1025.36 kN
    - Live Load Reactions
    RTr = 145 (1.717) + 35 (0.435) = 264.26 kN
    RLn = (1/2) * 1 * 15.22 * 9.3 = 70.77 kN
    Distribution Factor for Shear
    gintV = 0.805, gextV =0 .52
    RLL+ IM = g [RTr + RLn] = 2*0.805[264.26 + 70.77] + 2*0.52[264.26 + 70.77]
    RLL+IM = 887.83 kN
    - Wind load on live load = 1.46 * 8.6 = 12.56 kN, 1.8m above roadway surface
    - Breaking force = 0.25* (145 * 2 + 35) * 2 = 162.5 kN, 1.8 m above roadway surface
    - Lateral active earth pressure:
    The Soil is clayey silty sand foundation with  = 200 , ’ = 300.

    soil = 1925 kg/m3, s = 18.90 kN/m3
    Pmax = KasZ = 0.5 * 18.90 * 6.55 = 61.9 kN/m2, PA = ½ Pmax Z = ½ * 61.9 * 6.55 = 202.71
    kN/m width, for average width of 5.33m width PAT = 1080.5kN.
    PhT = PAT cos 41.8 = 1080.5cos41.8 = 805.4kN
    PvT = PAT sin41.8 = 720.19kN.
    - Dead load surcharge
    qs = 18.9 x 1.172 = 22.15 kpa
    Pressure = Kaqs, = 0.5 * 22.15 = 11.08 kPa
    - Hor =11.08 cos 41.8 =8.26 kPa, Force=288.37 kN
    - ver = 11.08 sin41.8 = 7.39 kPa, Force=253.07kN.
    - Liveload surcharge
    Pressure = Kaheq= 0.5 x 0.73 x 18.9 = 6.9 kPa
    – Hor = 5.14, Force=179.46:
    - Ver = 4.6 kPa, Force=160.59kN.
    Unit weight of concrete is 23.54kN/m3

    Combinations:
    Relevant load combination is strength I considering the minimum and maximum load factors for
    permanent loads, the load combinations can be expanded to two as Strength I and Strength Ia as
    shown in the table below.

    2.1.3 Stability and Safety Criteria

    Eccentricity:
    In the LRFD method, the eccentricity design criteria is ensured by keeping the resultant force
    with in the middle half of the base. In other words, the eccentricity should not exceed e max = B/4
    in soil foundations. The results are summarized as follows.
