2 LOADS AND LOAD COMBINATIONS

All structures will be designed for the most critical combinations of dead loads, imposed
loads, equipment loads, crane loads, steam piping (static and dynamic) and other piping
loads, wind loads, seismic loads, temperature loads and any other loading condition which
can occur during the design life of the facility.
Foundation system will be decided based as per the Geotechnical Investigation report.

3.1 DEAD LOADS (DL)

Dead load shall include the weight of all structural components and architectural
appurtenances incorporated in the structures plus hung loads and any other permanent,
externally applied load. This should also include equipment dead load. The content of
tanks, silo, bins and hoppers shall be measured at full capacity for this purpose. Hung
loads and the contents of tanks, silo, bins, and hoppers shall be listed separately so that
they can be excluded from dead load when dead loads are acting as stabilizing loads for
uplift. For Chimney, all permanent loads due to the weight of chimney shell internal
platform & lining supported on them. flue duct, staircase other accessories etc.

The following unit weight of material shall be considered for computation of loads. Loads
given in IS:875 (Part-I) shall be made use of for material not listed below:

Materials Unit weight

(a) Reinforced Cement Concrete : 25.0 kN/cum

(c) Structural steel : 78.5 kN /cum

(d) Brick work : 20.0 kN /cum

(e) Cement plaster : 21.0 kN /cum

(f) Floor Finish : 24.0 kN /cum

(g) Coal : 12.0 kN /cum (for structural design)

8.0 kN/cum (for volume calculation)

(h) Fly Ash : 16.0 kN /cum(for structural design)

6.0 kN/cum (for volume calculation)

(i) Bottom Ash : 16.0 kN /cum (for structural design)

6.0 kN/cum (for volume calculation)
(j) Floor finish (7 course bituminous) : 0.3kN/cum

3.2 LIVE LOADS (LL)

Live loads in different areas shall include dust loads, minor equipment loads, cable trays,
small pipe racks/hangers, operation/maintenance loads etc. The loads considered shall
not be less than those specified in IS: 875 (Part II).

The loads listed hereunder are minimum loads for the areas involved. Special use areas
shall be investigated and loading revised upward as necessary.

Hung loads shall be based on minimum loading equivalents of 1.0 kN/Sqm for piping and
0.5 kN/Sqm for electrical, ventilation and air conditioning. Loadings resulting from
concentrations of facilities in specific areas shall be substituted where listed base loading
is excluded.

3.2.1a EQUIPMENT & PIPING / CABLING LOAD

Generally, loads of major equipments such as deaerator, heaters, etc., shall be based on
the manufacturer's data of the specified equipments. Static and dynamic loads of major
equipments shall be based on the manufacturer's data of the specified equipments.
Equipment loads shall be considered as given by equipment supplier. Equipment loads
which are of permanent nature shall be treated as dead loads. Loads of all equipments
like Deaerator, Heater, Feed water Tank, Cooling Equipment, Motors, fan drive pulleys,
Pumps, Monorails, Ventilation duct, air inlet & exhaust duct, Electrical control and relay
panels, Cable load, Pipe load (static and dynamic), Tanks, AHU, Batteries, Air Washer,
etc. shall be considered over and above the imposed loads. Static and dynamic loading
of major equipments including Turbine generator, boiler feed pumps, PA, ID, FD fans,
shall be obtained from manufacturer certified drawings of specific equipments

CORROSION PROTECTION OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES-ADMIXTURE

Bipolar Concrete Penetrating Corrosion Inhibiting Admixture (CPCIA) shall be used. CPCIA
shall be free from nitrites, chromates and non-migrating types and having 7-8 years of usage
history in Indian conditions conforming to ASTM-G-109 with an efficiency factor of minimum
25 times. Dosage as per manufacturer specifications shall be compatible with the type of
cement used.

CORROSION PROTECTION OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES- Concrete Surface

Treatment

Two coats of tar extended moisture compatible coating with a DFT of 300-350 microns. The
system shall have minimum 7 years successful usage history in Indian conditions with the
following properties

-Salt spray test ASTM-B-117 : Pass 1000 hours min -Adhesion ASTM-D-4541 : 3.8 N/mm2
min -Resistance (Impedance) : 108 Ohms

5.4 Sewage System

Suitable manholes shall be provided to piped sewage lines at every 30 m intervals, at junctions
and at change of gradient, alignment & diameter of pipe and shall be of masonry or RCC
construction. Details of manholes shall be as per IS:4111 (Part-I ). Minimum size of manholes
shall be 1.0m x 1.0 m. All manholes shall be designed considering maintenance, inspection and
cleaning of pipes. Easy accessibility and safety shall also be given due consideration.
Sewage from the buildings shall be let into septic tanks. Overflow from soak pits of septic tanks
shall be sent to a central sewage treatment plant through a sewerage network. The treated
effluent shall be utilized for the irrigation of the landscaped areas and horticulture.
The sanitary sewer system shall be independent of plant and storm drainage system. The
treatment of sanitary sewage shall be through septic tanks and soak pits/leaching fields. The
number of septic tank shall be kept minimum and their location shall be away from plants,
buildings and facilities. The size of septic tanks shall be designed based on fixture units and for a
minimum storage of 5 years but not less than 2.0 CU.M.
All underground piping below concrete slab shall be HPDE minimum 100mm dia and for outdoors
it shall be HDPE pipe of minimum 200mm diameter. In buried piping system manholes shall be
placed at every change in direction and at every SOM (max.) interval in straight run. Suitable
clean outs shall be provided for buried piping under floor slab
Following minimum drainage slope shall be provided:
• Pipes of diameter less than 200mm : 1 (vertical) : 100 (horizontal)
• Pipes of diameter 200 mm & more : 1 (vertical) : 200 (horizontal)
For the treatment of sanitary sewage, a septic tank having a minimum of 3 chambers shall be
constructed. Septic tank shall consist of the RCC tank with inlet and outlets therefrom, complete
with all necessary earthwork and backfilling. The details of septic tank shall be as per IS:2470.
The chambers shall be separated by walls with slits. Each chamber shall have one manhole cover
for cleaning with mobile pump. Before the outlet in the last chambers, a screen board shall be
provided to prevent the passage of floating matter into the discharge pipe.

Septic tank shall also include ventilating pipe of at least 100 mm dia whose top shall be provided
with a suitable mosquito proof wire meshes and cowl.
Ventilating pipe shall extend to a height of about 2 meter when the septic tank is at least 15 meter
away from the nearest building and to a height of 2 meter above the top of building when it is
located closer than 15 meter. Ventilating pipes can be connected to the normal soil ventilating
system of the building where allowed. After the Septic Tank has been tested to be watertight and
the sewage system is checked, the tank shall be filled with water to its outlet before the sewage
is let into the tank. It shall be seeded with well-digested sludge obtained from septic tank or sludge
digestion tank. In the absence of digested sludge, small quantity of decaying organic matter such
as digested cow dung may be introduced.
A soak pit shall be arranged at the location shown on drawings for the disposal of sanitary sewage
from the outlet of the septic tank. The soak pit shall be constructed in-situ. It shall consist of a
minimum 900 mm dia pit 1.0m in depth below the invert level of the inlet pipe. The pit shall be
lined with stone, brick or concrete blocks set in cement mortar (1:6). The lower part shall be
perforated and filled with brickbats.
Inspection opening of 700 mm x 700 mm shall be provided. The cover of the inspection opening
shall be of cast-iron. Inlet pipe shall be taken down to a depth of 900 mm from the top as an anti-
mosquito measure.

5.5 Inter-Plant Cable Trenches

All cable and pipe trenches shall be of RCC. Trenches located outside buildings shall be
projecting at least 150 mm above finished formation level to avoid entry of storm water into
the trenches. The bottom of trench shall be provided with suitable slope for draining out
collected water into a sump pit.
