Wall Design - Culvert

1) The document is an engineering report analyzing the flexural design of a culvert wall for a pumping station in Basra, Iraq. 2) It provides calculations to determine the required area of steel reinforcement to resist the ultimate and service bending moments based on the geometry and material properties. 3) It also calculates the expected crack width under service loads and confirms it is below the allowable limit of 0.3mm for normal structures.

Culvert Wall Design - Flexure ( Max My Ultimate )


Data:-
Design ultimate bending moment = M = 350.0 kN.m
Design service moment = Ms = 330.0 kN.m
Breadth of Cross-section = b = 1000.0 mm
Overall depth = h = 500.0 mm
Grade of concrete = fcu = 30.0 N/mm2
Grade of main steel = fy = 420.0 N/mm2
Clear cover = c = 50.0 mm
Elastic modulus of steel = Es = 2.10E+05 N/mm2
Elastic modulus of concrete = Ec = 2.46E+04 N/mm2
Solution:-
Effective depth = d = h-C - bar dia-bar dia/2
= 420.0 mm
The ratio = k = M / bd2fcu
= 0.066
Lever arm = {Min of 0.95d & d[0.5+SQRT(0.25-k/0.9 ]} = z
= 386.5 mm
Area of steel required = (As)req. = M / 0.95fyz
= 2269.8 mm2

Minimum area of steel = (As)Min. = 0.13% bD


= 650.0 mm2
Maximum area of steel = (As)Max. = 4% bD
= 20000 mm2
T 20 @ 125
OKAY
Area of steel provided = (As)Prov. = 2513 mm 2

C/C spacing of the bottom most main bar = 125.0 mm
