PROJECT : QUIRINO BRIDGES

DESCRIPTION : LUKBAN_BAKCWALL DESIGN


DATE : MAY 2016
DESIGNED BY : MJRI CHECKED BY : FDA

ABUTMENT DESIGN:

Geometry of Wall:
Thickness of Wall: t = 300 mm
Width of Wall: b = 1000 mm
Clear cover to reinforcement (both sides): cc = 50 mm
Reinforcement of Wall:
Steel Bar Diameter @ Vertical: DVert = 25 mm
Spacing of bar @ Vertical: SVert = 300 mm
Steel Bar Diameter @ Horizontal: DHor = 20 mm
Spacing of bar @ Horizontal: SHor = 25 mm
Specified Yield Strength of Reinf: fy = 414 MPa
Specified Concrete Strength : f'c = 28 MPa
Factor of depth comp. stress block : 1 = 0.85

Checking for Maximum Flexural Reinforcement (NSCP Vol. 2, Sec. [Link].2)


Gross area of Wall per meter: Ag = h x 1000 mm = 300000 mm2
2
Area of steel per meter length: As_Vert = ([Link] / SVert)*1000 = 1636.25 mm
Max. ratio of reinforcement: max = 0.75 b = 0.02169
0.85 1 f'c 600
b = = 0.02891
Fy 600 + Fy
As_max = max bh = 8674.21 mm2

Design loads for Wall subjected to shear and bending


Ultimate moment: Mu_DES = 56.530 kN*m / m
Ultimate shear force/running meter: Vu_act = 68.30 kN / m
Bending Capacity of Wall :
Effective cover reinforcement: d' = cc + (DVert / 2) = 62.5 mm
Depth of tension Steel: dt = h - d' = 237.5 mm
2
Depth of NA from extreme compression face: a = dt - sqrt(dt - 2Mu / 0.85f'c b) = 11.4 mm
Nominal moment Strength: Mn = As_Vert*fy (dt - a / 2) = 157.028 KN*m/m
Strength reduction factor: b = 0.9
Ultimate moment Strength capacity of wall: Mu = x Mn = 141.33 KN*m/m

Checking for Minimum Flexural Reinforcement (NSCP Vol. 2, Sec. 8.17.1)


For minimum reinforcement, the provided reinforcement shall be adequate to develop a moment atleast 1.2 times the cracking moment calculated.

Cracking Moment: Mcr = fr Ig / yt = 55.56 KN*m/m


Modulus of Rupture: fr = 0.70 f'c = 3.70 MPa
Effective Moment of Inertia: Ig = 1000 t3 /12 = 2.3E+09 mm
4

Distance from Centroidal axis: ys = t/2 = 150 mm


The minimum requirement may be waived if the area of reinforcement provided at a section is at least one-third greater than the required by the
analysis based on the loading combinations specified in Article 3.22
2
Required Area of reinforcement As_req'd = Mu_DES / b fy (dt - a / 2) = 638.85 mm
2
1.33*As_req'd = 849.67 mm
As_prov'd > As_req'd PASSED!!

Check for shear capacity of Wall subjected to shear and bending:


Shear force resisting capacity of wall : Vc1 = [(0.17 x ( f'c))] dt
prov'd = 0.00689
Vc1 = 213.644 KN/m
Max. shear force resisting capacity of wall: Vc2 = 0.29 x (f'c) x dt
Vc2 = 364.452 KN/m
Shear force resisting capacity of wall; Vc = min( Vc1, Vc2) = 213.644 KN/m
Strength reduction factor: v = 0.75
Vu = v Vc = 160.233 KN / m
No need for Shear Reinforcement
Shear Reinforcement: `
Steel Bar Diameter @ link Reinforcement: dconf = - mm
Number of shear link reinforcement: n = - pcs
Spacing of link reinforcement: slink = - mm
Specified Yield Strength of links: fy = - MPa
VS = Av_stir fy_stir dt / slink = - KN/m
Vu = v (Vc + Vs) = - KN / m

Design Summary:
Wall is 300 mm thick with 28 MPa concrete and 414 MPa steel
Reinforcement at the Vertical section is 25 mm diameter @ 300 mm spacing
Reinforcement at the Horizontal section is 20 mm diameter @ 25 mm spacing
