Design of Abutment

This document provides design details for a road bridge abutment including: 1. Calculations of vertical and horizontal forces acting on the abutment from the bridge deck, soil pressure, wheel loads, and breaking forces. 2. Determination of maximum and minimum pressure on the foundation based on the resultant force and foundation width. 3. Checks of factor of safety against sliding and overturning to ensure stability. 4. Specification of concrete grade for the abutment based on the maximum calculated pressure. The document analyzes loads, calculates pressures, and verifies the design meets safety requirements for the bridge abutment foundation.
