CROSS SECTION OF BOX CULVERT
2.0 DESIGN CONCEPT

The box structure is designed as an integral box section. The box section is modelled in STAAD Pro as
line model along the centre lines of structure section for unit length. The boundary condition below
bottom slab is simulated by applying soil springs at each node. The soil spring stiffness is calculated as
given in "foundation analysis and design" by joseph E bowles.
IRC:6-2017 and IRC:112-2011 are used for determining the intensity of live load and width of
dispersion of live load respectiviely. The calculated loads have been applied on the model along with
other permanent loads. Load combinations are considered for design of structural members as per IRC 6
-2017 and design is carried out as per IRC 112 -2011.

3.0 Load Calculations

3.1 DL
a Self weight = -1
b Camber slope = 2.5 %
Camber slope thickness 2.5/100 x 12.5/2 = 0.15625 m
0.15625 x 25 x 0.5 = 1.953125 kN/m
c Weight due to Earth Cushion 0.065 x 20 = 1.30 kN/m

3.2 SIDL Wearing coat


Thickness of wearing coat = 0.065 m
Density of wearing coat = 22 kN/m3
Load due to wearing coat 22 x 0.065 = 3 kN/m
(As per Standard Drawings)
3.3 Parapet
Parapet area = 0.405 m2
Load due to Parapet 0.405 x 25 = 10.13 kN/m

3.4 Earth pressure - Dry condition


Co-efficient of earth pressure at rest ka = 0.5
Earth pressure at height H = ka γdry h

on wall at face of top slab soffit with cushion 0.765 0.5*20*0.765 = 7.65
on wall at d from face of top slab soffit with cushion 1.420 0.5*20*1.42 = 14.20
centre of wall with cushion 3.040 0.5*20*3.04 = 30.40
on wall at d from face of bot. slab top with cushion 4.610 0.5*20*4.61 = 46.10
on wall at face of bottom slab top with cushion 5.265 0.5*20*5.265 = 52.65
bottom node in wall at center line of bottom slab with cushion5.665 0.5*20*5.665 = 56.65
3.5 Live load Surcharge
Surcharge Live load is considered to be equivalent to height of 1.2m of earth fill as per IRC 6 - 2017
Uniform intensity of loading = ka x γ x h = 0.5 x 20 x 1.2 = 12 kN/m2
3.6 Temperature Uniform
Maximum temperature = 44 º
Minimum temperature = 9.1 º
Avg of temperature = 26.6 º
Mean maximum temperature = 36.6 º
Maximum effective bridge temparature = 36.6 A
º s per cl:215.2 of IRC:6-2017
Minimum effective bridge temparature = 16.6 º
Maximum unifrom raise of temparature
Uniform temparature raise = 36.6-9.1
= 27.5 oC
Maximum unifrom fall of temparature
Uniform temparature fall = 16.6-44.1
o
= -27.5 C
