    Design of Pier: Longitudinal Direction

    Uploaded by

    Barry Richard
    This document summarizes the design of a pier in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. In the longitudinal direction, hydrostatic pressure and earthquake forces were calculated to result in total horizontal forces of 81972.9 lbs. Shear stress calculations showed the pier is adequately strong. In the transverse direction, three loading cases were considered: high water level with earthquake, earthquake on the pier and gate, and hydrodynamic forces. The maximum total overturning moment was calculated to be 160.82 k-ft/ft, requiring reinforcement of #8 bars spaced at 10 inches.

    Design of Pier

    Longitudinal Direction
    A- Maximum load on piers occures when Gates on either
    side of pier are closed and water level is at top on running
    side
    = 1/2*62.5*(638.50-621.00)^2*6
    Horizontal Force due to water on nose of Pier =57421.88 lbs
    Horiz. Force due to force on Gate 0.5*62.5*(638.5-621.00)^2*40
    =
    = 382812.5 lbs

    Total Horiz.Force due to Hydro static Pressure = ### lbs

    EQ ANALYSIS

    Horiz. Accelaration due to earthquake is taken as 0.12*g = 3.84 ft/sec

    PIER NOSE GATE & DIAPHRAGM

    hydro dynamic force 0.583*62.5*(638.5-621.0)^2*0.12*6


    =
    = 8034.47 lbs

    Force due to weight of gate 0.1*(14.41+20.16)


    =
    = 3.46 tons
    = 7757.5 lbs
    Force due to weight of Road Bridge 0.12*350*1000
    =
    = 42000 lbs
    Force due to weight of Pier 0.12*1532.89
    =
    =183946.5 lbs
    Total hor. Force on Pier due to EQ 2
    =41738.5 lbs
    Total hor. Force due to Hydro. & EQ 6
    =81972.9 lbs

    Shear Strss assumming Pier to be rectangle 58 feet x 27.5 feet


    688994.4/(58*27.5)
    =
    = 427.57 psf
    = 2.97 psi
    This check of horizontal forces revealed that stresses by eccentric forces during earthquake
    revealed that those are too small as the moment of inertia of pier is large.
    Thus the Pier is adequately strong in longitudinal direction.

    Strength of Pier in Transverse direction

    Worst condition occures when gate on one side of Pier is closed on other side is fully opened,
    which should not happen in practice. Assumming this worst condition for Horiz. design
