ABSTRACT

The analysis and design of all the components of even the most simple bridge

type can be a fairly laborious and cumbersome job especially with respect to the various elements of the bridge substructure. For bridges located on major perennial rivers, resort will have to be made to deep foundations like wells or pile foundations, the design of which involves lengthy computational effort. The bridge engineer should be equipped with a handy computational tool with the help of which he can quickly and reliably determine the suitability of various layouts and configuration of the sub-structure before

finalizing the most optimum design of the substructure. In this thesis and attempt has been made to develop a P.C. based software on VB.Net platform for the analysis and

design of substructure for bridges with simply-supported spans. The computer programme includes the analysis and of wall-type and circular piers and includes the option for the complete analysis and design of two-types of deep foundations on the basis of the relevant IS Codes of Practice: Well foundations and pile foundations. The pile foundations can be analyzed and designed for both river and non-river bridge crossings and the user is presented the option of two types of piles for use in the foundations:

under-reamed piles particularly for non-rivet bridge foundations and bored cast-in-situ

circular piles. A noteworthy feature of the program is that lateral load analysis of both free and fixed-head piles can be carried out by the user in line with the recommendations of the relevant IS Codes. The user friendly and interactive program assists the user in the selection of preliminary dimensions of the well foundation, the safety of which is checked of the elastic state of the soil surrounding the well and at ultimate loads. Structural design of the critical well components like well curb, steining and well cap is

incorporated in the software. The results for foundation design obtained from the

program have been validated with long-hand calculations present in the Appendix.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION

Thomas B. Macaulay once said: "Of all inventions, the alphabet and the printing press alone, excepted, those inventions which abridge distance have done the most for the civilization of our species". Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony,

to the contribution of engineers. Bridges have always figured prominently in human history. They enhance the vitalities of the cities and aid the social, cultural and economic

improvements of the locations around them. Bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way

beneath. The required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline

and the obstacle to be crossed may be a river, a road, railways or a valley. The portion of the

bridge structure below the level of the bearing and above the ,founding level is generally

referred to as the substructure. The design of bridge substructure is an important part of the

overall design for a bridge and affects to a considerable extent the aesthetics, the safety and

the economy of the bridge. Bridge substructure are a very important part of a bridge as it

safely transfers the loads from the superstructure to the earth in such a uranner that the

stresses on the soil are not excessive & the resulting deformations are within the acceptable

limits. The selection of the foundation system for a particular site depends on many

considerations, including the nature of subsoil, location where a bridge is proposed to be

constructed i.e. over a river, road, or a valley, etc. & the scour depth. A bridge may have

either have the following types of foundations:

1. Well foundations: It is the most common type of foundation in India for both road &

railway bridges. Such foundation can be sunk to great depths and can carry very heavy vertical and lateral loads. Well foundations can also be installed in'a boulder stratum. It is a

massive structure and is relatively rigid in its structural behavior.

2. Pile foundations: It consist of relatively long and slender members, called piles which are

used to transfer loads through weak soil or water to deeper soil or rock "strata having'a high

bearing capacity. They are also used in normal ground conditions for elevated road ways.

The analysis and the design of all the components of a bridge particularly with reference to the bridge substructure can become a very lengthy and laborious task if the

calculations are attempted manually. A design engineer would like to try various

liPage --

Page 12: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

configurations, shapes and sizes of the principal components of a bridge before finalizing the most optimum combination on the basis of safety, economics and aesthetics of the elements of the super-structure and the sub-structure. At the same time, in spite of the best efforts

during sub-soil investigations, many uncertainties always exist with respect to the sub-soil conditions which may be encountered at pier and foundation locations. Unexpected sub-soil

conditions may require a significant redesign of the foundation or in extreme cases the foundation type may have to be changed from for example an open-footing to a pile or a well foundation. For the above eventualities, it is desirable that a quick, handy and reliable

computational tool should be available to the design engineer for the analyses and design of bridge sub-structure in general and well and pile foundations in particular.

In this thesis an attempt has been made to develop P.C. software package in the

VB.Net platform for the analysis and design of sub-structures for concrete bridges with

simply supported spans. Analysis of the super-structure for loads transferred to the sub-structure is included in

the software. Two IRC loading categories: Class AA and Class A are considered for super-

structure analysis. The option for single lane and two lanes of traffic is included. The user is

provided with the option of two types of concrete piers: wall-type and hammer-head type

with a circular shaft. The analysis and design of both these types of piers is included in the

software. In the software, the option is provided for two types of deep foundations: well and

piles. Well foundations are essentially meant for river-bridge crossings where as the option for pile foundations take care of pile analysis and design for both non-river and river bridge

crossings. The analysis of the well foundation is carried out as per the relevant IRC code for

the resultant axial, lateral loads and moments transferred from the super-structure for the

following two conditions: (1) The soil surrounding the well is in an elastic state (2) At

ultimate load conditions. The program includes check on thickness of the bottom plug and the

analysis and design of the critical components of a well viz, well curb, well steining and well

cap. Practical considerations related to construction of wells are examined through a check on

the sinking effort developed in the well. Two types of piles are available for design of pile

foundations: (1) Under-reamed piles and (2) Bored cast-in-situ circular piles. Under-reamed

piles are essentially meant for non-river bridge crossings and their design for vertical and

lateral loads has been carried out as per recommendations of IS: 2911. The software includes

the analysis and design of both free-head and fixed-head bored cast-in-situ circular piles in cohesion less as well as cohesive soils. A noteworthy feature of the software is the lateral

load analysis of the pile as per the relevant IS Code. The design of the pile foundation

concludes with check on group behavior including settlement analysis and structural design of the pile and the pile cap. 1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE THESIS

CHAPTER 2

PIERS & PIER CAPS 2.1 INTRODUCTION

Piers are substructures located at the ends of bridge spans at intermediate points

between the abutments. The function of the piers is two-fold: to transfer the superstructure vertical loads to the foundation and to resist all horizontal and transverse forces acting on the

bridge. Piers are generally constructed of masonry or reinforced concrete. Being one of the

most visible components of a bridge, the piers contribute to the aesthetic appearance of the

structure.. They are found in different shapes, depending on the type, size and'dimensions of the superstructure and also on the environment in which the pier is located.

The pier cap (also known as the bridge seat) is the block resting over the top of the pier or the abutment. It provides the immediate bearing surface for the support of the

superstructure at the pier location, and disperses the strip loads from the bearings to the

substructure more evenly. The pier cap is given an offset of 75 mm beyond the edge of the

pier. This offset prevents rain water from dripping down the sides and ends of the pier and also improves the appearance of the pier. Minimum thickriess provided to the pier cap is 225

mm for spans of up to 25 m, otherwise 300 mm.

2.2 TYPES OF PIERS

Typical shapes of piers commonly used in practice are as shown in Fig. 2.1. They can

be solid, cellular, trestle or hammer-head types. Solid and cellular piers for river bridges are

provided with semicircular cut-waters to facilitate and streamlined flow and to reduce the

scour. Solid piers can be of.mass concrete or of masonry for heights of up to 6 m and spans

up to about 20 m. Hammer-head type piers are increasingly used in urban elevated highway

applications, as it provides slender substructure with open and free-flowing perception to the

motorists using the road below. It is also used for river crossings with skew alignment, which

will result in least obstruction to passage of flood below the bridge. Cellular, trestle, hammer-

head types are suitable for heights above 6 m and spans over 20 m. In trestle type piers,

concrete hinges have been recently introduced between the top of column and the bent cap in

order to avoid moment being transferred from deck to the columns. Reinforced concrete framed types of piers as shown in Fig. 2.1 (e) have also been used in recent years. Such piers

lead to economy in cost of superstructure as it reduces the span length of girders on either

side of pier, but at the same time it will accumulate debris and floating trees from the stream

flow. Two expansion joints formed on each pier will result in riding discomfort.

Minimum top width of pier is kept 600 mm more than the out-to-out dimension of the

bearing plates, measured along the longitudinal axis of the superstructure. Length of pier should not be less than 1200 mm in excess of the out-to-out dimension of the bearing plates

measuredperpendicular to the axis of the superstructure. The bottom width of pier is usually

larger than the top width so as to restrict the net stresses within the permissible values. It is

normally sufficient to provide a batter of I in 25 on all sides for the portion of pier between

the bottom of the pier cap and the top of the well or pile cap, as the case may be. 2.3 PROCEDURE FOR ANALYSIS OF PIER

Analysis of pier is carried out considering various forces and loads transmitted from.

the superstructure and forces acting directly on the pier. Following are-the loads and forces to

be resisted by a pier:

1. Dead load:

Dead load of superstructure and substructure above the base level of pier.

2. Live load:

This consists of Live load of traffic passing over the bridge. Effect of eccentric

loading due to live load should also be considered.

3. Buoyancy:

Buoyancy has the influence of reducing weight. In masonry or concrete structure, the

buoyancy effect through pore'pressure may be limited to 15 percent of full buoyancy

on the submerged portion.

4. Wind load:

Wind load is considered on the live load, superstructure and the part of the

substructure above the base of pier or water level, whichever is higher. It acts on the

area. of the bridge in elevation and is thus always taken to be acting laterally to the

bridge only. This force could be considered as per recommendations of IS:8752.

5. Horizontal forces due to water current:

Horizontal force due to water current is considered on that part of substructure that

lies between the water level and the base of pier. The water current pressure is given

by Equation 2.1

P=KV 2 , (2.1)

where, P = intensity of pressure in kN/m2 due to water current,

K = a constant having different values for different shapes 'of piers.

The values of this constant for different pier shapes are present in

6I Page

Page 17: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

Table 2.1 V = velocity of current in m/sec at the point where pressure intensity

is being calculated.

It is assumed that the velocity distribution in stream is such that. V2 is., maximum at the free surface of water, zero at the deepest'scour level and varies'

linearly in between them. Also the maximum velocity of flow is assumed to be equal

to fl times the velocity of the current.

Table 2.1: Value of constant K for Pressure Intensity due to Water Current

SHAPE K— Values

Square ended piers 1.50

Circular piers 0.66

Piers with semi-circular cut-waters 0.66

Piers with triangular cut-waters 0.5 to 0.9

Trestle type piers 1.25

For calculating the pressure on the pier, the angle which the current makes'

with the axis of the pier should be taken into account. Generally, the maximum

variation in the angle of water current to the transverse axis of the bridge is taken as,

200. Thus, the pressure along the axis of the pier and transverse to it, is respectively',

given by,

P1 =KV 2 cos2 20° ,(2:2).

P2 = KV 2 sin2.20° , , (2,3)

6. Centrifugal forces: -

Centrifugal forces are taken into account, when the bridge is located on a curve.

7. Longitudinal forces: Longitudinal forces are caused due to tractive effort caused through acceleration of

the driving wheels, braking effect due to application of brakes to the wheels '&

frictional resistance offered to the movement of free bearings due to change of

temperature. Braking effect is invariably, greater than the tractive effort, and as a

result the tractive effort of vehicles is neglected.

7j Page

Page 18: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

8. Seismic forces:

Seismic force acts on all loads, which posses mass at their centre of gravity. Seismic forces acting in horizontal direction, along longitudinal and transverse aids of the

bridge are considered. Forces acting in the vertical directions are comparatively small, and are hence neglected. During earthquake, water in river will apply hydrodynamic

force on the submerged portion of pier. Seismic forces are considered to act only in one direction at a time.

All the above loads are classified into different loading cases as discussed below.

1. Normal (N) Case loading: It includes dead load, live load, buoyant force, wind load,

forces due to water current, centrifugal forces, braking force/tractive force &

horizontal shear force at hinge bearings due to the effect of braking force, wind load.

2. Temperature (T) Case loading: It includes loads due to frictional restraint to

temperature movement at bearings.

3. Seismic (S) Case loading; It includes seismic forces acting in horizontal forces acting in horizontal direction.

Considering the probability of earthquake with other forces, it is generally assumed

that earthquake and wind forces will not occur simultaneously and so only one can be

considered at a time. Taking all the case loading into accounts, pier is analyzed for three

different load combinations: Normal (N) Case, Normal and Temperature (N + T) Case &

Normal, Temperature and Seismic (N ± T + S) Case.

Longitudinal forces acting on the bridge like braking effort/tractive effort, frictional

resistance at the bearings and seismic forces acting on live load and bridge superstructure will

produce horizontal shear force at the bearings. The horizontal shear force will be calculated

for different load combinations as discussed above, and later is incorporated into their

respective case of load combinations.

Stresses developed into the pier due to different loads and forces are calculated individually, and the resultant maximum stress acting on the pier is worked out for different

load combinations. The resultant maximum stress for each load combination should be within

the permissible stress limits. For brick masonry in cement mortar, permissible compressive

stress is I MPa and permissible tensile stress is 0.10 MPa. In stone masonry, compressive

stress is limited to 1.5 NlPa and tensile stress is limited to 0.10 MPa. Permissible stresses for

concrete are given in Table 21 of IS: 456-2000', for different grades of concrete. Table 2.1

shows the permissible stresses for plain concrete used in bridge analysis and design.

IRC: 6-20006 allows the increase in permissible stresses of concrete for different load combinations. For Normal and Temperature (N + T) case i.e. when the effect of temperature is considered, permissible stress can be increased by 15 percent.' Finally, • for Normal, Temperature and Seismic (N + T + S) case permissible stress can be exceeded by 50% if the maximum stresses in piers for the worst loading combination are indie than the permissible stress, it is required to redesign the piers in order to bring maximum stresses within the permissible limit. 2.4 CONCLUSIONS

The types and the features of piers and pier caps usually employed for bridge crossings have been briefly discussed together with analysis methodology and permissible stresses for design.

CHAPTER 3

WELL FOUNDATIONS 3.1 INTRODUCTION

Well foundations have their origin in India & have been used for hundreds of years

for providing deep foundation to important buildings and bridges. Well foundations were freely used during the Moghal Period for bridges across the major rivers. Moghal monuments

including Taj Mahal are built on well foundations. Well foundations provide a solid &

massive structure. This foundation has maximum sectional modulus for a given cross-

sectional area. Wells can resist large horizontal forces & vertical loads even when the

unsupported length is large in scourable river beds. A well foundation is monolithic and,

relatively rigid in its structural behaviour.

3.2 TYPES OF WELL FOUNDATIONS Different types of wells in common use are shown in Fig. 3.1 The controlling factors

in selecting the shape of the well foundation are: the base dimensions of pier or abutment, the

ease with which the well can be sunk, cost, considerations of tilt and shift, ease of sinking and

the magnitude of the forces to be resisted by the foundation. Circular wells are used most

commonly and the mains points in their favour are their strength, simplicity in construction

and ease of sinking. However, in terms of the lateral stability for a given cross-sectional area,

circular wells offer the least resistance against tilting when compared with other sections.

Circular wells also suffer from the disadvantage that in the case of large oblong piers, the

diameter of a circular well becomes excessive which renders them uneconomical besides

creating obstruction to the flow of water.

Two or three independent circular, square or rectangular wells in section suitably

connected can be used for supporting long piers. Such wells are called tied wells. Tied wells

of different shapes are preferred to avoid relative tilts between wells. Double-D shaped and

dumb-bell shaped wells are the most commonly used shapes of tied wells. Double octagonal

well is also a monolithic well consisting of two circular dredge holes. On account of its

shape, the flexural stresses developed in the steining are relatively less compared to a double-

D shape. However, sharp corners of double octagonal wells produce gratei scour.

Rectangular wells are generally adopted for bridge foundations having shallow depths. They

can be adopted very conveniently where the bridge is designed for open foundations and

change to well foundation becomes necessary during the course of construction on account of

adverse conditions such as excessive inflow of water and silt into the excavation. For piers of

3.3 ELEMENTS OF A WELL FOUNDATION

A well foundation is a type of foundation which is generally built in parts at the

surface and sunk to its final position, where it forms the permanent foundation. Fig. 3.2

Fig. 3.2 Typical Section of Well Foundation

(a) Well-cap:

It is a RCC slab laid at the top of the well steining to transmit the loads and moments from

the pier to the well or wells below. Shape of well cap is same as that of well with a possible

overhand of 150 mm all-around to accommodate lengthy piers. It is designed as a two-way

slab with partial fixedity at supports. The top of the well cap is usually kept at the bed level in

case of rivers with seasonal flow or at about the low water level in case of perennial rivers.

Thickness of well cap is usually between 1500 mm to 2000 mm.

121 P a g e

Page 23: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

(b) Steining:

It is the main body of the well which transfers load to the base of the foundation. Steining is normally of reinforced concrete. Minimum grade of concrete used in steining is M20 with cement content not less than 310 kg/m'. To facilitate well sinking an off-set of 75 mm to 100 min is provided in well steining at its junction with the well curb.

The thickness of well steining should not be less tan 500 mm nor less than that given by Eq. 3.1.

t = KDiTE, (3.1)

where, t = minimum thickness of concrete steining, m, D = external diameter of circular well or dumb bell shaped well or smaller

plan dimension of twin D well,"m, L = depth of well in m below L.W.L. or top of well cap whichever is greater, .. K = a constant depending On the nature of subsoil and steining material (taken

as 0.30 for circular well and 0.039 for twin —,D well for concrete steining in sandy strata and 10% more than the corresponding value in the case of clayey soil).

(c) Well curb: It is the wedge shaped RCC ring beam located at the lower portion of the well steining provided to facilitate sinking. Well curb carries cutting edge for the well and is made up of reinforced concrete using controlled concrete of grade M25. The cutting edge usually consists of a mild steel equal angle of side 150 mm. In case blasting in anticipated, the outer face of the well curb should be protected with 6 mm thick steel plate and the inner face'shbuld have 10 mm thick plate up to the top of the curb and 6,mm plate further up to a heiglitof 3 m' above the top of the curb.

(d) Bottom plug: After the well is sunk to the required depth, the base of the well is plugged with concrete. This is called the bottom plug. It acts like an inverted dome supported by the steining on all the sides and transmits the load to the subsoil and acts as a raft against soil pressure from. below. Minimum grade of concrete used in bottom plug is M15. Thickness of bottom plug should not be less than the half of dredge-hole diameter nor less than the value calculated in Eq. 3.2.

t2 =8 f~(3+r9), (3.2)

where, W = total bearing pressure at the base of well,

t = flexural strength of concrete in bottom plug,

0.7 7 , and,

V = Poisson's ratio for concrete, 0.18 to 0.20. (e) Top plug:

The top plug is an unreinforced concrete plug, generally provided with a thickness of about

600 mm beneath the well cap to transmit the loads from the pier to the steining. Minimum

grade of concrete used in top plug is M15.

The space inside the well between the bottom of the top plug and the top of bottom plug is usually filled with clean sand, so that the stability of the well against overturning is

increased. While this practice is good in case of wells resting on sand or rock, the desirability

of sand filling for wells resting on clayey strata is doubtful, as this increases the ]bad on the

foundation and may lead to greater settlement. In the latter case, the sand filling is done only

for the part of well up to scour level, and remaining portion is left free.

(f) Intermediate plug:

As discussed above, for wells resting on clayey strata, it is not preferable to fill the space

inside the well completely with sand. In such cases, sand filling is not done or sand is filled

up to the scour level. A concrete plug covering the filling is usually provided, known as

intermediate plug. Usually, thickness of intermediate plug is taken as 500 mm.

3.4 ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF WELL FOUNDATION

In order to design the well foundation, maximum depth oLscour should be,deterthined

first since the maximum scour depth decides the depth of the well foundation.

3.4.1 DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM SCOUR DEPTH The codes IRC: 78-20008 and IS:3955-19675 recommend that the maximum scour

depth in a stream should be ascertained, whenever possible, by actual soundings at or near the

site proposed for the bridge, during or immediately after a flood before the scour holes have

had time to silt up appreciably. In case actual soundings are not possible, depth of scour in

stream can be ascertained using theoretical methods taking into account the velocity of

stream, characteristics of the river bed materials, and many other factors.

The IRC: 78-2000$ recommended formula for calculating the mean depth of scour

below High Flood Level (HFL) for natural channels flowing over scourable bed is as follows: 1

to the level of the anticipated deepest scour; and,

types of sandy beds for ready reference and adoption. Table 3.1: Silt factors for Sandy beds,; IRC: 78-20008

Type of bed material dsm (mm)

Coarse silt 0.04 0.35

Silt/fine sand 0.081 to 0.158 0.5 to 0.6

Coarse sand 0.725 1.5

Fine bajri and sand 0.988 1.75

Heavy sand 1.29 to 2.00 2.0 to 2.42

The normal scour depth for natural streams in alluvial beds can also be calculated

using Lacey's formula given below:

d = 0.473 ~1}3 ,

where, d = Normal depth of scour below highest flood level for regime conditions iri' a stable channel, m.

Q = Designed discharge, m3/s and, f = Lacey's'silt factor for a representative sample of the bed material. This

can be determined from Table 3.1. The scour depth with maximum value,: obtained from any of the forniulae:as discussed

above will be considered as dsm, the mean scour depth for design of foundation.

As per the recommendations of IRC: 78 — 2000,8 at the noses of piers, the maximum depth of scour, dm,, is taken as twice of mean scour depth, dsm.

dmax = 2 Xdsm (3.5)

151 P age

Page 26: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

The well foundation shall be taken to such a depth that it is safe against scour. Apart

from this, the depth of the well foundation should also be sufficient from considerations of

bearing capacity, settlement stability and suitability of strata at the founding level. Invariably,

the well foundation in all cases shall be taken down to a depth which will provide sufficient

grip. The grip length below the anticipated maximum scour level shall not be less than 1/3 a the maximum anticipated depth of scour below H.F.L.

3.4.2 LOADS FOR WELL FOUNDATION DESIGN After determining the depth of the well foundation, the dimensions of well and its

different components are empirically assumed.

The following loads are considered for the analysis and design of well foundation:

1. Dead load

2. Live load

3. Buoyancy

4. Wind load

5. Horizontal force due to water current

6. Centrifugal forces

7. Longitudinal forces

8. Seismic forces

9. Horizontal shear forces at bearings due to longitudinal forces and seismic forces 10. Forces due to tilt and shift.

The loads mentioned above are discussed in Section 2.2 of Chapter 2. These loads are

calculated with respect to the bridge superstructure and substructure and correspondingly, the

total vertical load, the total horizontal forces acting along the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction of bridge and the moments about the transverse and longitudinal axis of

the bridge are obtained for the design of the well foundation. Moments due to shift and tilt of

wells are also be included in the analysis of the well.

3.4.3 STABILITY ANALYSIS OF WELL FOUNDATIONS The stability of well foundation under the action of lateral loads, particularly large

magnitudes of seismic forces, depends on the passive resistance of the soil on the sides and the base of the well. As the lateral load increases for a given magnitude of the vertical load,

the soil deformation increases disproportionately when compared with the deformation at

initial loading. Under the combined action of vertical and lateral loads the mechanism of

sharing the applied loads between the sides and the base of the well also gets significantly

modified. Hence, the behaviour of the soil at ultimate loads is different form that at the elastic

16IPage

Page 27: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

stage which is assumed to prevail under vertical loading. The IRC: 45-19727 . therefor specifies two checks, one for soil pressures under working loads and the other. for the facto of safety available with respect to.ultimate strength of the surrounding the well.

r As per IRC: 45-19727; the resistance of the soil surrounding the well is checked using

a. Elastic theory b. Plastic theory (also called as Ultimate Resistance Method)

The following assumptions are made in computing soil pressure using elastic theory: i. The soil surrounding the well and below the base is perfectly elastic, homogeneous

and obeys Hooke's law ii. Under design loads, the lateral deflections are so small that the unit soil reaction `p'

increases linearly with increasing lateral deflections z'. Hence p = KHZ'

where, Ka is the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction at the base. iii. The coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction increases linearly with depths in the

case of cohesionless soils. iv. The well is assumed to be a rigid body, • subjected to ah extemalunidireotional

horizontal force `H' and moment `M' at scour level. As a consequence of the above assumptions, the'pressure distribution is parabolic on the sides of the well and linear at the base. -

The elastic theory gives the soil pressure in the sides and the base of the well under design loads. However, to determine the actual factor of safety against failure it is necessary to calculate the ultimate soil resistance which is done by assuming plastic behaviour of the soil at ultimate loads. For checking the ultimate load capacity of the well foundation, the applied loads are multiplied by suitable load factors for various load combinations and the ultimate resistance is reduced by appropriate under-strength factors and the two are then' compared..

A step-wise description of these two methods of analysis of well foundations is given below:

Both the above methods are applicable if the well foundation is resting on non-cohesive soil like sand and is surrounded by the same soil below the maxim ' scour' level.

The above methods should not be used for analysis if the depth of embedment of the well is less than 0.5 times the width of foundation in the direction of the principal lateral forces.

Before designing the section of the steining, the stresses in the steining are calculated

at the level of maximum scour.

(3.21)

where, W = total vertical load acting up to the maximum scour depth,

A = area of cross-section of well steining,

M = Resultant moment due to various loads as considered during analysis

of well at maximum scour level

Z = Section modulus of well steining.

The stresses should be within the permissible limits. Permissible limit of stresses for

different grades of concrete can be obtained from Table 2.2. If the stresses exceed the

permissible limits, the thickness of the well steining has to be increased.

A minimum thickness of the steining, t, given by the following equation is required

to avoid the excessive kentledge during sinking of the well.

After performing the checks for stresses and thickness of steining, the reinforcements

in the steining are calculated. The vertical reinforcements in the steining should not be less than 0.12 percent of the gross sectional area of the actual thickness provided for the steining.

The vertical reinforcement should be equally distributed on both the faces of the steining. The

221 P a g e

Page 33: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

vertical reinforcement should be tied up with hoop steel not less than 0.04 percent of the volume per unit length of the steining. 3.4.6 DESIGN OF BOTTOM PLUG

fc = flexural strength of concrete used in bottom plug

b = short side of well a = short side/long side ratio of well. .

3.4.7 DESIGN OF WELL CAP A well cap is needed to transfer the loads and moments from the pier to the well. The

shape of the wall cap is normally kept the same as of the, well with a possible overhang of 150 mm. The top of the well cap is usually kept at about the low 'water level in 'case of, perennial rivers. The well cap is designed as a two-way reinforced concrete slab resting over

the top of well. The support conditions are taken partially restrained. , The design of the well cap is carried out by assuming that the load from the pier acts ,

on an imaginary circle having an area equal to the area of dispersion of the loads transferred from the pier to the well cap.

Since the well-cap is assumed to be partially restrained by the steining, the moments in the well-cap are calculated for circular patch loading and for U.D.L. (self-weight of well cap) for the following two conditions:

(1) Well cap freely supported on steining (2) Well cap fully clamped on steining

The maximum moment at the edges of the well cap due to moments transferred from

The resultant moments for the design of the wel];cap section at mid-spdn.and at supports can be found out as follows.

M~ m = (Mean radial moment due to patch loads beneath the loaded area)

+ (Mean radial moment due to U.D.L. at the centre of well-cap) + (moment at the centre of well cap due to moments transferred from pier)

Medgo = (Mean radial moment due to patch loads beneath unloaded area)' + (Mean radial moment due to U.D.L. at the support of well=cap) + (moment at the edges of well cap due to moments transfefred from'pier)

Hence, the reinforcement at the centre of the well-cap is calculated for the moment Mcenire and the reinforcement at the edges of well-cap' is calculated for the moment Ivledse. Half of the main tension reinforcement at the centre and at the support sections of the well cap is provided on the compression face. All reinforcement in the well-cap is provided as an orthotropie mesh.

The well-cap is finally checked for punching shear as per IS:456-20001 . 3.5 CONCLUSIONS

CHAPTER 4

PILE FOUNDATIONS 4.1 INTRODUCTION

Piles are relatively long and slender members used to transfer loads through weak soil

or water to deeper soil or rock strata having a high bearing capacity. Piles are usually installed in clusters/group to provide foundations for bridges. A pile foundation may have

vertical piles or batter piles or a combination of vertical and batter piles. Well foundations are

provided to the bridges, only when soils with high bearing capacity are available at the

shallow depths in ground, in order to resist loads and moments transferred by well to the soil.

It is not preferable to use well foundations, when low bearing strata like clay is present in the

ground up to greater depths.

The uses of piles for bridge foundations are justified in the following cases;

(a) The upper soil strata are too compressible or too weak to support the heavy vertical

reaction transmitted by the superstructures and piers. In this instance, piles serve as extensions of piers to carry the loads to deep, rigid stratum such as rock. Such piles

are called as point or end bearing Piles. If a rigid, stratum does not exist within

reasonable depth, the load must be gradually transferred, mainly by the friction, along

the pile shafts. Piles transferring loads to soil by skin friction through its lateral

surface area are called as Friction Piles.

(b) Piles are also frequently required because of relative inability of other foundations to

transmit inclined, horizontal, or uplift forces and overturning moments. As the name implies,

uplift piles are used for resisting uplift forces on foundations.

Fig. 4.2 Uplift`Piles

(c) Pile foundations are often required when scour around the foundations can cause

erosion in spite of presence of strong, incompressible strata (such as sand, gravel, etc.) at

shallow depths. In such cases, piles can be particularly effective.in bypassing scourable strat

and transferring loads to in erodible soil.

Fig. 4.3 Use of piles in scourable beds

(d) In areas where expansive or collapsible soil extends to considerable depth below the

ground, pile foundations may be needed to ensure safety against undesirable seasonal

movements of foundations.

Piles can be classified according to the materials of which they are made of. The main

materials used in makings piles are timber, reinforced concrete and steel. Reinforced concrete

piles are generally used in pile foundations for bridges. Concrete piles are either precast or

cast-in-situ. Precast piles are installed into the.ground by drilling, while cast-in-situ piles are

bored pile. Under-reamed pile is a special type of bored pile having one or more bulbs. With

the presence of under-ream, substantial bearing or anchorage is available. These piles find

application in widely varying situations in different types of soils where foundations, are

required to be taken down to a certain depth. Diameters of bulbs are usually 2 to 3 tines the

diameter of the pile shaft. The under-ream increases the load carrying capacity of the pile.

Such piles are claimed to be useful and economical in expansive soils like black cotton soils

of India, where shrinkage and swelling of clays rules out the use of shallow spread footings.

Piles in foundations are usually installed in a group. The top of the piles are connected

together with a stiff reinforced concrete slab called pile cap. All the piles are projected atleast

50 mm in the concrete of the cap. A pile group having pile cap standing clearly above the ground is know as a free

standing pile group. Free standing pile groups are used in river bridge crossings, where the

top of the pile cap is usually kept at the level of L.W.L. A pile group in which the pile cap

rests on the soil, partially or is fully-buriedbelow ground level is known as piled foundation.

In a piled foundation, the pile cap may, under certain soil conditions, help in transmitting a

part of the load to the soil on which it rests. Piled foundations are generally used for elevated

highways and flyovers where pile cap is fully buried inside the ground to provide space for

the roadways.

If pile foundations are to be used for river bridge crossings, then the maximum scour depth for the stream has to be determined. The calculation of maximum scour depth is discussed in Section 3.3.1 of Chapter 3. For river bridge crossings, the to of the pile cap is placed at the level of L.W.L., while for non-river bridge crossings, the pile cap is fully buried into the ground with its top placed at ground level. Later, the forces and moments acting at the top of pile cap i.e. at the base of pier are calculated, during the analysis of piet. After calculating the forces and moments at the base of pier, the axial loads in the piles due to. applied forces and moments are determined for an assumed size and configuration of piles in a pile group. The assumed pile properties are subsequently checked for safety. 4.2.1 UNDER-REAMED PILES

The diameter of under-reamed piles in bridge applications is generally not taken, less than 300 mm. The length of the pile is selected as per the nature of the soil ,stra(a. For example, if a weak layer is underlain by a strong stratum at a reasonable depth, the length of the pile is so chosen such that the penetration of the pile into the strong'stratum (bearing stratum) is a minimum of 5 times the pile diameter or width. On the other hand, if the weak layer extends to a considerable depth, the length of pile is so chosen as to obtain adequate pile capacity through skin resistance.

The design of under-reamed piles can be carried out with the aid of Table 1 of IS: 2911(Part III) — 1980°. Table I of IS: 2911(Part III) — 1980 which is reproduced in toto as Table 4.3 in this thesis is a useful guide for selecting important parameter w.r.t. under-reamed piles viz. Diameter of pile shaft and under-ream, length of pile number of under-reams and the capacity of a selected configuration of under-reamed pile in compression, tension and

291Page

Page 40: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

lateral load carrying capacity. Usually a suitable value is selected as the diameter of the pile shaft. The diameter of the under-ream is taken as 2.5 times the diameter of pile shaft. Piles

can have one or more than one under-reams, but it is not advisable to have more than two under-reams on one pile without ensuring their feasibility in strata needing stabilization of

boreholes by drilling mud. For piles up to 300 mm diameter, the spacing between consecutive

under-reams should not exceed 1.5 times the diameter of the under-ream. For piles of

diameter greater than 300 mm, spacing can be reduced to 1.25 times the stem diameter. The top-most under-ream should be at a minimum depth of 2 times the under-ream diameter

below the ground. Tn expansive soils, the top-most under-ream should not be less than 1.75 ni

below ground level. Clearance between the underside of pile cap embedded in the ground and

the top under-ream should be minimum 1.5 times the under-ream diameter. Columns (3) &

(4) of Table 4.3 provide minimum length for single and double under-reamed piles,

respectively.

After fixing the dimensions of the under-reamed pile, the load bearing capacity of a

single under-reamed pile is estimated. The pile capacity is compared with the maximum load

expected on the pile to ensure an adequate margin of safety.

4.2.2 BORED CAST-IN-SITU PILES

The safe bearing capacity of a pile can be determined from its ultimate bearing

capacity, by using a suitable factor of safety. The methods available to estimate the ultimate

capacity of a single pile in compression can be grouped into the following categories: i. Static-in-situ test. ii. Static analysis,

iii. Dynamic analysis,

The static-in-situ test, popularly known as pile load test, is the only direct method for

determining the allowable load on piles. It is considered to be the most reliable of all the, approaches, primarily due to the fact that it is an in-situ test performed on a pile of prototype

pile dimension. Pile load test is a costly test and is used to confirm whether the actual pile

installed in the filed can take the load predicted by static or dynamic analysis. Dynamic

analysis is used for determining ultimate capacity of driven piles. Static analysis, which is

based on `soil mechanics' approach provides approximate estimates of pile capacity, as

values of a number of parameters appearing in the static formulae are assigned empirically.

For bored piles, static analysis is performed. A brief description of static analysis of piles is

presented next.

A pile when loaded, transfers the load through skin friction along the length of the

30 l P a g e

pile and through point bearing at the tip of the pile.

Thus, the ultimate capacity of a pile may be obtained as,

Qu = Qs + Qp .

= f:As+ gpAp, (4.1)

where,

Qs = total skin frictional resistance,

Qp = total point bearing resistance,

fs = unit skin frictional resistance,

qp unit point resistance,

IIIpoint bearing resistance

Fig. 4.7 Load resisting mechanism in a pile

The unit frictional resistance, fs and the unit point bearing resistance, qp. depend on

many factors such as the type of soil, method of installation and the pile material. Of these,

the method of pile installation affects the pile capacity significantly, and also makes the

estimation of pile capacity more complex. In order to clearly identify the effect of pile

installation and account for the same, it is convenient to discuss separately the case of piles in

cohesion-less soils and cohesive soils.

31 Page

Page 42: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

Piles in Cohesion-less soil:

As suggested in Eq. 4.1, the pile capacity can be obtained as the sum of point bearing resistance and skin friction resistance.

Point Bearing Resistance:

The unit point bearing resistance in cohesion-less soil is given by,

9p = Pv(Ny — 1) + A yBNy , _ (4.2)

where, p„ = effective overburden stress at the level of the pile tip,

B = diameter or width of pile,

y = density of the soil,

A, = shape factor, 0.4 for square or rectangular piles, and,0.3 for circular piles, and,

Nq & N y = bearing capacity factors.

The second term in Eq. 4.2, d syBNr is usually neglected, particularly in the case of

long piles, as this constitutes an insignificant part of the total capacity. The first term in Eq.

4.2 implies that the base resistance increases linearly with depth. The bearing capacity factor, Nq is a function of the angle, of internal friction of soil, q5, and its value can be obtained from

Fig. 1 of IS: 2911 (Part 1) — 1979, reproduced here as Fig. 4.8. The bearing capacity factor, N., can also be read off from Table4.1.

The point bearing resistance and the skin frictional resistance of a pile in cohesive soil i.e. clay, can be determined as follows: Point Bearing Resistance:

The unit point bearing resistance is obtained as follows, 9v = c.Nc , (4.5)

where, c„ = undrained cohesion at the pile tip, and, Nc = bearing capacity factor, generally taken as 9.

Skin Frictional Resistance: The unit skin resistance is obtained as follows,

fs = ac, , (4.6) where, a = adhesion factor.

The adhesion factor depends on the cohesive strength of the soil. It can be obtained from Fig. 4.9.

4.2.3 NUMBERS, SPACING AND ARRANGEMENT OF PILES The number of piles required in bridge foundation is obtained by dividing the total

vertical load acting on the foundation by the safe bearing capacity of a single pile. • . The spacing of piles shall be considered in relation to the nature of ground; the types

of piles and the manner in which the piles transfer the load to the ground. Generally, the centre-to-centre spacing of under=reamed piles in a group should be at

least 1.5 times the diameter of the under-ream. For bored cast-in-situ piles, a minimum spacing of 2.5 times the diameter of.pile is

recommended for piles deriving,'their capacities mainly .from the end bearing s$atuir, (end , bearing piles). On the other hand, piles deriving their bearing capacity'primarily'from friction (friction piles) shall be sufficiently apart to ensure that the zones of soils from which the piles . derive their support do not overlap to such an extent that their bearing values ai-e •reduced. Generally the spacing in such case shall not be less than 3 times the diameter of the pile.

The arrangement of piles in a foundation depends upon the number of piles to be installed in the foundation. Wherever conditions permit; the pile's should be arranged in the most compact geometric form in order to' keep the stresses in the pile cap to a minimum. Some geometric forms are shown in Figure 4.10.

Piles in foundation can be arranged in a grid pattern, where the spacing between the

piles in longitudinal as well as transverse direction of the bridge remains the same.

After fixing the arrangement of piles in a group, the dimensions of the pile cap are

determined. A clear overhang of 100 mm to 150 mm should be provided in the pile cap

beyond the edge of the outermost pile in the group.

A minimum of three piles shall be provided in pile group. If the numbers of piles

provided in the foundation are three, then the connection of the pile cap with the piles is

both forces and moments, from pier to the piles. The group capacity of piles is found by assuming the pile group'to behave"as a deep

footing. 4.2.4 SAFE BEARING CAPACITY OF PILE GROUPS

The group capacity of piles may be found assuming the pile group to behave as one

deep footing. 4.2.4(a) GROUP OF BORED CAST-IN-SITU PILES

The ultimate bearing capacity of the pile group in can be estimated as follows:

Pile Group in cohesion-less soil , For a pile group in sand, the values of the different parameters used for estimating the

ultimate bearing capacity of the pile group can be calculated as follows:

Qy = ffA5+ q,A, , (4.7)

fs = unit skin frictional resistance,

= K0 tan p , (4:8)

where, p„ = the effective overburden stress at the depth considered,

0 = angle of friction of soil, and,

For Pile Group in cohesive soil For pile group in clay, the values of different parameters used in estimating ultimate

bearing capacity of pile group can be calculated as follows: fs = unit skin frictional resistance,

The safe bearing capacity of the pile group shall be taken as the smaller of the two

• Qg

where, n = number of piles in group,

Qu = ultimate bearing capacity of a single pile,

Qg = ultimate bearing capacity of the pile group as estimated above,

4.2.4(b) GROUP OF UNDER-REAMED PILES For under-reamed piles with a spacing of 2 times the diameter of the under-ream, the

safe bearing capacity of the pile group will be equal to the safe load on an individual pile

multiplied by the number of piles in the group. For piles at spacing of 1.5 times the diameter

of the under-ream, the safe bearing capacity of the pile group will be equal to 90 percent of

the safe load on an individual pile multiplied by the number of piles in the group.

The safe bearing capacity of a pile group shall be greater then the actual load

acting on the pile foundation. The vertical load acting on the foundation will also, include the

weight of pile cap. if the load acting on the foundation exceeds the safe bearing capacity of

the pile group, then the piles are redesigned or the numbers of piles in the group are increased

or the spacing between the piles is increased. In case of under-reamed piles, the number of

under-reams on each pile can also be increased to extend the safe load limit of the pile group.

Safe bearing capacity of the pile group is then re-estimated to check whether it is greater than

the loads acting on foundation.

4.2.5 DISTRIBUTION OF LOAD BETWEEN VERTICAL PILES OF PILE GROUP The load acting on an individual pile is obtained from the elastic theory by using the

following method:

Qi = Q - MYYX1 + MxXZ` , (4.13), Ex Ey

where, Q; = load on ith pile,

Q = Total vertical load acting on the foundation

n = Total number of piles in group,

Myy = Moment acting at the soffit of pile cap about longitudinal axis of

bridge

Mxx = Moment acting at the soffit of pile cap about transverse. axis of

bridge

xj = distance of the centre of ith pile from the centre of gravity of pile

group, measured parallel to transverse axis of bridge

y j = distance of the centre of the ith pile from the centre of gravity of pile

group, measured parallel to longitudinal axis of bridge

x2 = summation of squares of distances of the centres of all the piles from

the centre of gravity of pile group measured parallel to'transverse axis o:

bridge

y2 = summation of squares of distances of the centres of all the piles, from

the centre of gravity of pile group measured parallel to longitudinal axis' of bridge

If the calculated load on a pile exceeds its safe bearing capacity then the piles an

required to be redesigned. The option is that, the number of piles or the spacing betweeri pile:

can also be increased to reduce the maximum load acting on the piles. In the case of under

reamed piles, the number of under-reams can be increased to increase the safe load limit of the pile.

4.2.6 LATERAL LOAD ANALYSIS OF PILES It is assumed that all the piles in a group share equally the lateral load acting on «,,

foundation.

4.2.6 (a) LATERAL LOAD ANALYSIS OF BORED CAST-IN-SITU PILES When the length of a pile is more than ten times its diameter it is classified as a long

pile and flexural behaviour governs the response of the pile to lateral loads. A majority of the piles used in bridge practice belong to this category.

Generally, three types of boundary conditions are encountered in long piles namely (a) free-head pile, (b) fixed-head pile, & (c) partially-restrained head pile. In the case of free-

6 head pile, the lateral load may act at or above- the ground level and the pile head is free to

rotate without any restraint. A fixed-head pile is free to move only laterally but rotation is

prevented completely, whereas a pile with partially restrained head moves and rotates under

restraint. If the number of piles in group is 3 or less, then the piles are considered as free-head

piles. If the number of piles in group exceeds 3, the piles are considered as fixed-head piles.

- The following procedure is followed for finding the lateral load capacity of a pile.

i. The relative stiffness factor T or R as the case may be, is found.

T =

5 nh (for piles founded in sand and normally loaded clays), (4.14)

R = 4 K (for piles founded in pre-loaded clays), (4.15)

where, E = Young's modulus of the pile material,

For concrete piles, = 5000 f k (in MPa), (4.16)

where, fck is the 28-days characteristic compressive strength of .concrete,

I = second moment of inertia of the pile cross-section, in m4, The values of the soil constants 'lh and K are presented in Table 4.4 and 4.5

respectively.

ii. Form Fig. 4.11, the depth of fixity, Lf, of the pile assumed as an equivalent cantilever

is found as a function of the ratio T—' or R where L1 is the unsupported length of the

pile. For non-river bridge crossings where in the piles are completely embedded in

ground where in the piles are completely embedded in ground, Li = 0. As shown in

Fig. 4.11, the total length of equivalent cantilever is obtained as the summation of L1

and L.

iii. Knowing the total length (L + Lf) of the equivalent cantilever, the lateral load

capacity of a pile is calculated from the following equations

The safe lateral load of an under-reamed pile can be obtained from columns (16) and (17) of Table I of IS: 2911 (Part III)4 —1980, which is reproduced as Table 4.3 in this thesis/. It may be noted from Table 4.3 that the lateral loads cannot be increased or decreased with

change in the pile length. At the same time for piles with multi-under reamed the allowable

lateral load values should not exceed those given in column (17) of Table 4.3. 4.2.7 STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF PILE

As pointed out earlier, the fixed or free-head pile is treated as an equivalent cantilever for lateral load analysis. The fixed end moment (MF) of the equivalent cantilever is higher than the actual maximum moment (M) expected in the pile. The design moment for the pile is

obtained by multiplying the fixed end moment of the equivalent cantilever by a reduction factor, m, obtained from Fig. 3 of IS: 2911 (Part 1)-19793 or from Fig. 5 of IS: 2911 (Part III) —19804. The two figures are reproduced in Fig. 4.12 of this thesis for ready reference.

The fixed end moment of the equivalent cantilever is given by:

MF = Q(L1 + L f ) , (for a free-head pile) (4.19)

Q (L1+ L f) 2 (for a fixed head-pile) (4.20)

4.2.8 SETTLEMENT OF PILE GROUP

According to Terzaghi and Peck (1967)21, the total settlement of a group of driven or bored piles under a safe design load not exceeding one-third to one half of the ultimate group

capacity can generally be estimated roughly as that of an equivalent raft foundation. The

deformation and compressibility properties of the soil beneath the equivalent raft foundation

can be estimated from empirical correlations with the results of field tests, plate load tests, etc. or from the laboratory tests on undisturbed soil samples of cohesive soils. The settlement

estimates should also be checked by pile load tests for possible extrapolation to group behaviour.

Since the use of elastic theory for determination of vertical stresses in the soil

surrounding and below the pile tips is extremely laborious for practical cases, approximate

methods are proposed. These methods are briefly discussed below: (i) For friction piles, the vertical load acting on the foundation is placed on a fictitious raft

footing located at L3 from the bottom of the piles, where Lf is the penetration of the pile

into the ground. Plan dimensions of the raft are determined on the basis of a 1H : 2V dispersion of load as shown in Fig. 4.13 (b) & (c).

(ii) For point bearing piles in dense sand-gravel deposits, the fictitious raft is placed at `f 3

from the bottom of the piles, where Lf is penetration of the pile into the soil layer where the

pile tip is situated. Plan dimensions of the raft are determined on the basis of a 1H : 2V

dispersion of load as shown in Fig. 4.13 (a).

The soil at or below the fictitious raft must carry the applied loads without excessive

deformation. In some cases the settlements calculated by the above methods are smaller than

the measured values. However, these simple approximations give sufficient information for

determining the supporting strength of the lower strata of the soil.

4.2.9 DESIGN OF PILE CAP

Pile cap is a structural member that ties a group of piles together. Plan dimensions of

the pile cap are decided from the spacing between the piles and their arrangement in the

group. Piles should be well arranged in a group so that the centroid of the group coincides

with the line of action of load. A clear overhang of 100 mm to 150 mm beyond the edge of

the outermost pile is given to the pile cap. The thickness of pile cap is usually governed by

the shear developed in the pile cap. Pile caps can also be designed using the truss analogy.

A clear cover of 50 mm is provided to the reinforcement in pile cap.

As shown in Fig. 4.14, the critical section for moment in the pile cap is at the face of

the pier.

The pile cap is also checked for both, one-way shear & two-way shear. The critical

section for one-way shear in the pile cap is located at a distance equal to effective depth `d'

away from the face of the pier, Fig. 4.14. For two-way shear, the critical section is located at. a distance of half of the effective depth `d', from the face of pier, Fig..4.15.

When the vertical load from the pier is transferred to the centroid of the piles through

inclined internal coverage struts in the pile cap, large tension forces are induced in the

reinforcements of the pile cap. The component of the thrust in the inclined concrete. strut;

acting in the horizontal direction away from the pile-cap has a tendency to create "burstinf forces" in the pile cap. Therefore, it is desirable to configure the concrete in the pile cap wit!

suitable "bursting reinforcement", usually 12 mm diameter'closed rings at 150 c/c along thl

depth of the pile cap, Fig. 4.16.

CHAPTER 5

SOFTWARE FEATURES

5.1 INTRODUCTION A software has been developed in the Visual Basic.Net platform for the analysis and

design of bridge piers and foundations. The analysis and design of both well and pile foundations is incorporated in the software. The details and features of the software along with its functions layout are presented in this Chapter. Interactive feature are incorporated in the software which

provides guidelines to the user for the input of every data. The software provides ample of

flexibility to the user for selecting suitable data.

Some of the important user friendly aspects of the software developed are as follows:

1. The analysis and design calculations are explained sequentially with the help of

appropriate diagrams

2. Alert messages are given by the software if the user misses to input the required data in

any of the form pages. 3. In case any of the analysis or design requirements are not satisfied the software will

prompt the user with appropriate alternatives.

The limitations of the software developed are as follows:

1. Simply supported spans are assumed for the superstructure

2. Only the following live load categories are included in the software: Class A and Class

AA loading

3. The functions of the software are limited only up to the analysis of the pier. Software

does not incorporate the structural design of piers. Also software can perform analysis of

only two types of piers: wall type pier and hammer-head type piers

4. Software can work out for circular well foundation, bored cast-in-situ & under-reamed

piles only.

5.2 FUNCTIONS LAYOUT OF THE SOFTWARE The tasks performed by the software are partitioned into various modules. The

computations done in each module & the functioning of the modules are presented in the form of

flow charts as explained below.

49IPage

Page 60: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

5.2.1 SELECTION AND INPUT OF PARAMETERS USED FOR ANALYSIS AND

DESIGN OF FOUNDATIONS

Initially, the software will ask the user to select the type of foundation whose analysis and

design is to be performed. The option of pile foundations is provided for river bridge crossings

and for elevated roadways. The user will be asked to select any one type of bridge: river bridge

crossing or non-river bridge crossing. The option of well foundations is provided for river bridge

crossing. For well as well as and pile foundations in river bridge crossing, the user will be asked

to input values of maximum mean velocity of stream, High Flood Level (HFL), Low Water

Level (LWL), mean diameter of river bed particle & submerged density of soil at the site where

the proposed foundation is to be provided. The option for use of different type of material in the

pier is included in the software is included in the software. The user will be asked to input other

relevant parameters like depth of girder, span, dead load on each girder, area of superstructure,

type and width of carriageway & seismic zone, etc...

The flow chart for the preliminary dimensioning of the pier is presented in Fig. 5.1 If a

wall type pier is selected then as per the bearing spacing and plan dimensions of the bearings, the

minimum required top width and length of the pier (without cutwater) is calculated.. Software

will not perform the next stage of calculations unless the input value of top width and length of

pier (without cutwater) is greater than the minimum requirements. Later, the user is prompted to

enter the batter of the pier so as to calculate the bottom width of the pier. Length of pier cap of

walled type pier is calculated from the top length of pier. If a hammer-head type of pier is

selected by the user then the user is asked to input the diameter and height of the pier shaft'

Length of pier cap is calculated from bearing spacing and dimensions. The user will be asked to

enter the thickness of the rectangular and the tapered portion of the pier cap

5.2.2 ANALYSIS OF PIER The flow chart for the analysis of the pier is presented in Fig. 5.2. After deciding the

preliminary dimensions of pier and pier cap, the software will perform the analysis of pier for the

various forces acting on the pier. For both well and pile foundations in river bridge crossing, the

pier is analysed for flood condition i.e. water level is at HFL. Stresses for various types of forces acting on pier due to dead load on pier, eccentric live load, longitudinal forces, water current in river, buoyant force, wind load, seismic force and shear forces at the bearings are computed.

These loads are categorized into three loading categories: Normal (N) Case, Temperature (T) Case & Seismic (S) Case. Stresses, in pier due to N Case, T Case and S Case loading are

computed separately. Subsequently, the resultant stresses in the pier due to- the following load

combinations are calculated: N case, N+T Case, N+T+S 'case. These resultant stresses are compared with the permissible limits. If the stresses are within the permissible limits, the pier is

safe and the pier will be analyzed next for no water condition. However if the resultant stresses exceed the permissible limit, then the software will direct the user to a page where the pier will

be redesigned in order to withstand the stresses safely.

5.2.3 ESTIMATION OF SCOUR DEPTH FOR FOUNDATION. DESIGN

For both well and pile foundations in river-bridge crossings, the scour depth is required to

be calculated for determining the founding levels. The flow chart for calculation of maximum

scour depth is shown in Fig. 5.3.

To ensure a sufficient margin of safety in the scour depth calculations, the software multiplies the design discharge by a flat value of 1.30 to get the discharge for calculation of the

normal depth of scour. The software calculates the normal scour depth using two formulae: formula suggested in IRC: 78-20008 & Lacey's formula.

Linear water-way in calculated form the equation L = 4.83J. Knowing the linear,

water-way L, Db is calculated. The silt factor in both the equation is taken as 1.76J , where

dm is the median size of the bed sediments, in mm. The higher of the two values of the normal scour depth is used for calculating the

maximum scour depth. The normal scour depth is multiplied with two to get the of maximum scour depth at the nose of the pier.

5.2.4 ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF WELL FOUNDATION The analysis and design of well foundation follows the designing of the pier. The user is

prompted to select the pieliminary dimensions of the ell based on empirical rules.

5.2.4.1 ANALYSIS OF WELL FOUNDATION The resistance of soil surrounding the well foundation is determined in its elastic state

and at ultimate loads to check whether the soil will be able to resist the force and moments

transferred by the well foundation. The flow chart for calculation of soil resistance using elastic theory is presented in Fig.

5.4. The flow chart for calculation of soil resistance at ultimate loads is presented in Fig. 5.5.

5.2.4.2 STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF WELL

Once the safety of the selected preliminary size of the well has been established in the

elastic state and at ultimate loads, the structural design of the following components of the well

is performed next by the software: Bottom plug (check on thickness provided), well curb,

steining and well cap. The design aspects for these components have been explained in detail in

an earlier chapter. The flow charts for the structural design of well curb, steining and well cap

are presented in Figs. 5.6,5.7 and 5.8 respectively.

5.2.5 ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF PILE FOUNDATION

Before proceeding to the analysis of pile foundation, the software will prompt the user to

supply details of the sub-soil investigations. The user will be required to input details of the

numbers, the type and the engineering properties of the soil layers at the site where the pile

foundation is to be constructed. Particularly, care will be required to enter the relevant properties

of cohesive soils and the user will be required to make a distinction between pre-consolidated

and normally consolidated clays. The flow chart for soil details is show in Fig. 5.9. The software

will first run the loop to enter details of soil layers, and subsequently, the user will be asked to

enter details about the first layer. User will be asked to enter the height of first layers, density of

soil & type of soil. If the soil is sandy, then the user will be asked to enter the angle of internal

friction (0) and the average cone resistance of the soil layer (q0). If soil is clay then software will

ask user to enter the undrained cohesion of soil (c„) and the compression index of clay. Further,

the user will be asked to select the type of clay. If the clay is pre-consolidated, then pre-

consolidation pressure will have to be entered. Similarly, the loop will run again so as to enable

the user to enter the details of next soil layer. The loop will be terminated when details of all the

layers are entered.

5.2.5.1 ANALYSIS OF PILES (a) Bored cast-in-situ circular piles

The user will have to enter the diameter and the length of the pile. Thereafter, the

software will perform the calculations for estimating the safe bearing capacity of the pile. The

procedure for calculation of the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile in cohesive as well as cohesion less soils has been explained in detail in Chapter 4. The computed ultimate bearing

capacity is divided by a factor of safety of 3 to get the safe bearing capacity of the pile. The flow chart for calculation of the safe bearing capacity of a bored cast-in-situ pile is presented in

63 I P a g e

Page 74: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

Fig.5.10.

(b) Under-reamed piles

The user will be asked to select the diameter of pile stem and the number of under-reams

on each pile. For the selected diameter of the pile stem, the length of pile specified in Table 1 of

IS: 2911 (Part III) — 19804 is noted. This pile length is stored in "L". If the number of under-

reams selected for the pile is less than or equal to two, then for the user specified diameter,

number of under-reams & length "L", the safe vertical load for the under-reamed pile is read

from Table I of IS: 2911(Part III) — 19804. However, if the number of under-reams specidified

by the user exceeds two, then the safe vertical load for the pile is extrapolated with the help of

the incremental values given in Table I of IS:2911 (Part III) — 19804.

The procedure for obtaining the safe vertical load of an under-reamed pile is presented in

the flow chart in Fig. 5.11.

5.2.5.2 SAFE BEARING CAPACITY OF PILE GROUP

After calculating the single pile capacity, the safe bearing capacity of the pile group is

calculated.

(a) Pile groups with bored cast-in-situ piles

The software will calculate the vertical load acting on the foundation. The pile

dimensions are then entered by the user in software. As discussed in the previous section, the

software will calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of a-single pile and from it the safe bearing

capacity of the pile. Dividing the total vertical load on the foundation by the safe bearing

capacity of one pile will give the total number of piles required in the foundation. The software

will ask the user to enter the total number of piles. The number of piles provided will be accepted

only if it is greater than total number of piles required. For analysis, the pile group is considered

to act as a deep footing in soil. The software will then run the loop file to calculate pile group

capacity. The software will start with soil layer 1. If layer 1 is sand then Qs & Q, will be

calculated as per the formulae of sand, while if it is clay then the formulae of clay will be used to

calculate values of QS & Q,. The loop will run again and calculate Qs & Qp for the second layer,

as per the soil type. In this manner the software will calculate the value of Qs & QP for each Iayer

of the soil. Finally, Qs & Qp for all the soil layers are added together to obtain the value of Qg;.

Qg,safe is obtained by dividing Qg by 3. If Qg is more than the total number of piles provided *

ultimate bearing capacity of each pile (Q) / 3, then Q8,sare will be equal, to the total number of

piles provided * ultimate bearing capacity of each pile (Q) / 3. ,

The values of Qg,safe finally obtained is the safe bearing capacity of the pile group. The

flow chart for calculating the safe bearing capacity of pile groups made of bored cast-in-situ

circular piles is presented in Fig. 5.12

(b) For under-reamed piles

The flow chart of Fig. 5.13 explains the complete procedure to compute safe bearing

capacity of under-reamed pile. User is required to enter diameter of pile stem, number of under-

reams on each pile & spacing between piles. Diameter of under-ream is taken as 2.5 times the

diameter of pile stem. If the spacing between piles is less than two times the. under-ream

diameter, then the safe bearing capacity of pile group is taken as 90% of safe bearing capacity of

single pile X number of piles in foundation. While if spacing is more than or equals to two times

the under-ream diameter, then the safe bearing capacity of pile group is taken as safe bearing

5.2.5.3 LATERAL LOAD ANALYSIS OF PILES The lateral load capacity of the piles has to be determined so as to ensure that the

foundation can safely resist all design lateral loads. The flow chart for the lateral load analysis of

an under-reamed pile is given in Fig. 5.14.

(a) Under-reamed piles For the given under-reamed pile selected by the user, the lateral load capacity is directly

read-off from the values given in Table 1 of IS: 2911 (Part III)-1980 and compared with the

lateral load apportioned to each pile. If required the under-reamed pile parameters are revised to

ensure safety. The flow chart for the lateral load analysis of under-reamed piles is given in Fig.

5.14. The detailed procedure for lateral load analysis of a bored cast-in-situ pile has been

explained in Chapter 4 and the flow chart for the same is shown in Fig. 5.15.

5.2.5.4 DESIGN OF PILE CAP As shown in the flow chart of Fig. 5.16 the plan dimensions of the pile cap are computed

according to the arrangement and layout of piles in the group. Thereafter, the user will be asked

to enter the overall depth of the pile cap. Subsequently, the effective depth of pile cap is

69 Page

Page 80: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

calculated. Later, the moment in the pile cap is calculated considering the critical section to be

located at the face of pier. For calculated moments, the area of steel required in pile cap is

calculated. Then, the user will be asked to select the diameter of bars to be used in pile cap and

enter the desired spacing between the reinforcement. For the selected bar diameter and spacing,

area of steel to be provided in the pile cap is calculated. Further, the pile cap is checked for one-

way shear and two-way shear. If it fails, effective depth of pile cap will be increased.

CHAPTER 7

CONCLUSIONS 7.1 CONCLUSIONS

The following conclusions are drawn on the basis of the software development work ,related to analysis and design of bridge structures carried out for this thesis.

1) It is possible to develope user friendly, interactive and handy computational tools for the

analysis and design of bridge sub-structure sing readily available software platforms. 2) The proposed software can be particularly useful for the design optimisation of bridge

foundations particularly in the context of unexpected sub-soil conditions encountered

during construction. The program equips design engineers with a handy and convenient

software tool to quickly reconfigure and analyse and design bridge foundation in

response to field conditions for best performance and economy. 7.2 SCOPE FOR FURTHER WORK

The capabilities of the software developed can be further expanded to, include the

following additional aspects of substructure analysis and design:

1) The superstructure analysis for continuous spans on different types of bearings and of

different configuration can be included so as to broad-base the scope of application of the

software.

2) Options for pier design can be included for varying geometry pier. Option for analysis and design of pier cap of hammer-head type of piers using strut-and-tie models can be

included in the software.

3) Options for different arrangement and layouts of pile in a pile group can be included in

the software

4) The software can be interfaced with standard CAD packages like AUTOCAD for

generating detailing and working drawings of the bridge sub-structure.

APPENDIX — A SUPPORTING LONG HAND CALCULATIONS FOR THE

ILLUSTRATVIE PROBLEM ON WELL FOUNDATION Minimum top width of pier required = bearing spacing along longitudinal axis + bearing

dimension along longitudinal axis + 600 mm

= 900+300+ 600

= 1800 mm Top width of pier provided: 1800 mm (= minimum top width of pier required. Hence OK.)

Minimum desirable length of pier (without cut-water) = bearing spacing along transverse axis

+ bearing dimension along transverse

axis+ 1200 mm = 5500 t400-I-1200 = 7100 mm

Length of pier provided (without cut-water): 7100 mm (= minimum desirable length of pier. Hence OK.)

Batter provided in pier: 1 in 20

Hence, bottom width of pier = 1800 + (2 X 7000 x) = 2500 mm

PIER CAP DETAILS

Span of bridge is 16 m i.e. less than 25 m. Hence, minimum thickness of pier cap should be 250 mm.

Thickness of pier cap provided: 500 mm (> 250 mm. Hence OK.)

Width of pier cap = top width pier cap + (2 * 75).> = 1800+ 150 = 1950 mm

Length of pier cap = length of pier (including cut-water) + (2 * 75)

= 7100+1800+150

= 9050 mm

The stresses developed in pier due to various forces acting on it are calculated as below:

1. Stresses due to dead load & self weight of Pier

Dead load from superstructure of bridge = 2 X 1500 11177r•I

Area at the top of pier = (1.8 X 7.1) + (4 X 1.82)

= 15.33 m2

Area at the bottom of pier = (2.5 X 7.1) + (4 X 2.52)

= 22.66 m2

Area at the middle of pier = (2.15 X 7.1) + (4 X 2.152)

= 18.9 m2

Page 143: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BRIDGE SUBSTRUCTURES ...

Pier Volume = Pier height (Area at the top of pier + Area at the bottom of pier + 4 X

Area at the middle of pier )

= 6(15.33 +22.66+4X18.9)

= 132.52m3

Pier cap volume = 9.05 X 1.95 X 0.5

= 8.82 m3 Total volume = 132.52 + 8.82 = 141.34 m3

Hence, total weight of pier & pier cap = 141.34 X 25 = 3533 kN

:• Stresses due to dead load of superstructure & weight of pier Sc pier cap = 3533+3000 22.66

NOTE: The stresses acting at the base of pier due to live load eccentricity is calculated with the

use of program prepared in Microsoft Excel Worksheet.

3. Stresses due to longitudinal forces

(a) Due to tractive effort or braking forces orces

Braking effect is invariably greater than tractive effort. Hence, braking effort is considered.

Longitudinal force of Class A load = 0.2 X 486 X 2

= 194.4 kN

Moment at the base = 194.4 X 11

= 2138 kNm

Stress at the base of pier due to braking effort = ± 1xx

(b) Due to resistance at bearings

Coefficient of friction on the left side of bearing = 0.05

Coefficient of friction on the right side of bearing (reducing 5%) = 0.0475

Assume the combination of dead load & live load acting on the left side bearing and dead load

on right side bearing

Maximum live load reaction acting on the left side bearing = 648 kN

(as calculated from the program based on Excel Worksheet)

Total resistance to sliding on the left side bearing = 0.05 X (1500 + 648) = 107 kN &

Total reacting on the right side bearing = 0.0475 X 1500 = 71.25 kN

:• Unbalanced force = 36 kN

Moment due to unbalanced force at the base of pier = 36 X 7.8 = 282 kNm

4. Stresses due to water current

Maximum scour depth due to river stream will be calculated.

Normal depth of scour, d = 0.473 (Q)3 f

where, f = 1.76 dT„ = 1.76-10.505 = 1.25

:. d = 7.25 m

The scour depth calculated from the formula recommended by IRC: 78-20008 is greater. Hence maximum score depth is computed from the scour depth as per the formula recommended by IRC: 78-20008. '

Maximum scour depth = 2 X dsm = 17.07 m

Intensity of pressure, P = 0.5KV 2 ,

= 0.5X2X(JX4)2

= 10.67 kN/m2

To account for possible variation in water current direction, assume maximum angle change in

current direction of 20°

Hence, considering the change of 200 in direction of water current,

5. Stresses due to effect of buoyancy

Width of pier at HFL = 2.1 m

Area of pier at the HFL = (2.1 X 7.1) + (¢ X 2.12) = 18.37 m2

Hence, submerged volume of pier = 6 (18.37'+ 22.66 + 4 X 20.52) = 82 m3

Net buoyant force = 82 X 10 X 0.15 = 123 kN

Stress due to buoyant force = - A zz 66 = -5.43 kN/m2

6. Stresses due to wind load

(a) Area of superstructure as seen in elevation = 70 m2

The height of exposed surface of bridge structure, when water level is at HFL = 5.8 m

For 5.8 m, the intensity of wind load is taken as 0.72 kN/ m2

Hence, Total wind force = 70 X 0.72 = 50.4 kN/ m2 (b) Considering the wind load acting on moving live load having magnitude of 3 kN/m & acting

at 1.5 m above road way,

Wind force against the moving load = 16 X 3 = 48 kN

(c) Total wind force as in (a) & (b) above = 48 + 50.4 = 98.4 kN

(d) Minimum limiting load on deck at 4.5 kN/m = 16 X 4.5 = 72 kN

(e) Minimum limiting load on at 2.4 kN/m2 on exposed surface = 2.4 X 70 = 168 kN

Since force in (e) is maximum, this will be adopted. This force will be assumed to act at the

bearing level for the purpose of calculating the moment at the base of pier.

= 1084 kNm Maximum live load acting on the pier, for Class A train = 791 kN

(as calculated from the program coded in Excel Worksheet)

Total dead load of superstructure = 2 X 1500 = 3000 kN

& Mass of pier cap = 221 kN Hence, total seismic moment due to mass of bridge components

= ((791 X 11) + (3000 X 8.8)+(221 X 7.25)) X 0.1 + 1084

= 4755 kNm .. Total seismic moment due to mass of pier about longitudinal axis = 4755 kNm &

Total seismic moment due to mass of pier about transverse axis = ((3000X8.8)+(221 X7.25))X0.1+,1084

resist the forces and moments transferred by the well foundation.

ELASTIC THEORY

STEP 1: The value of W, H & M is determined as follows:

Values of total vertical force W, resultant horizontal force H & resultant moment M acting at the base of pier is calculated considering seismic effect & neglecting the wind effect on

bridge. Seismic effect along transverse direction is critical. Hence the forces & moments are

calculated considering the seismic effect along transverse direction.

W=45508 kN

14LL = 630.3 kN & HT-r= 6749.3 kN

MLL = 104146 kNm & Myr = 17696 kNm

3. Stresses due to longitudinal forces (a) Due to tractive effort or braking forces orces

Braking effect is invariably greater than tractive effort. Hence, braking effort is considered.

Maximum live load reaction acting on the left side bearing = 385 kN

The height of exposed surface of bridge structure = 10.3 m

For 10.3 m, the intensity of wind load is taken as 0.92 kN/ m2

Hence, Total wind force = 70 X 0.92 = 64.37 kN/ m2

(b) Considering the wind load acting on moving live load having magnitude of 3 kN/m & acting at 1.5 m above road way,

Wind force against the moving load = 1.2 X 3 = 4.2 kN (c) Total wind force as in (a) & (b) above = 68.57 kN

Since force in (e) is maximum, this will be adopted. This force will be assumed to act at the

bearing level for the purpose of calculating the moment at the base of pier.

The pile cap in foundation is embedded into the ground such that the top of pile cap is at

ground level. The thickness of pile cap is assumed as 1500 mm. Piles used in the foundation are

bored cast-in-situ pile.

The diameter of pile is taken as 900 mm & pile length is taken as 13 m.

SAFE BERING CAPACITY OF PILE To estimate the safe bearing capacity of pile, the ultimate bearing capacity of pile is

calculated. Static formulae are used in estimating ultimate bearing capacity of pile:

Check of two-way shear

The critical section for two way shear is effective depth/2 i.e. 720 mm away from the face of pier. The two- way shear developed in pile cap is as calculated in Table B-7. Hence, for two-way shear

Shear force = 12952 kN

Nominal Shear Stress = 12452 X 1000 = 0.62 N/mm2 4 X (4090+1440)X1440

Permissible shear stress, r,' = ksz,, where ks = 1

& r, = 0.25 f~k = 1.25> Nominal shear stress. Hence OK.

Check of one-way shear

The critical section for one way shear is effective depth i.e. 720 mm away from the face

of pier. The one - way shear developed in pile cap is as calculated in Table 6.14.

For shear force acting at the critical section along transverse axis of bridge

Shear force = 5730 kN

Nominal Shear Stress = 5730 x 1000 = 0.27 N/mm2 14700 X1440

As per Table 23 of IS: 456-2000', for 0.34% steel,

Permissible shear stress, r, = 0.27N/mm2 . Hence, OK.

For shear force acting at the critical section along longitudinal axis of bridge

Shear force = 4889 kN

Nominal Shear Stress = 14700 X1440 = 0.23 N/mm2

As per Table 23 of IS: 456-2000', for 0.26% steel,

Permissible shear stress, a„ = 0.24N/mm7 <, Nominal Shear Stress. Hence, OK.
