HYDRAULIC ACTIONS
Water current forces:
As the pier portion bellow Highest Flood Level shall be submerged in running water, pressure on
pier by water is calculated here.
On piers, perallel to the direction of water current , the intensity of pressure is calculated
by equation, P =52KV2 ……..( Clause 210.2, IRC:6-2014, page-34)
Where, V = velocity of the current at the point where the pressure
intensity is in meter per second.
K = A constant depending on shape of pier

Circular piers or piers with semicircular ends, K = 0.66 ……(Clause 210.2, IRC:6-2014, page-34)
Mean velocity of current, Vm = 0 m/s
Now, if maximum velocity = V

Water current pressure diagram

Area of projection plane of pier shaft in transeverse direction = -251 sqm


Total force acting in transeverse direction = #DIV/0! kN
Distance of the line of force above top of pile cap = -50.2 m
Moment in transeverse direction at Pier bottom location = #DIV/0! kN-m

Calculation of water current force in longitudinal direction


For longitudinal direction, K = 0.66
Considering 20˚ variation of water current direction, pressure in longitudinal direction = #DIV/0! kN

Area of projection plane of pier in longitudinal direction = -251 m2


Total force acting in longitudinal direction = #DIV/0! kN
Distance of the line of force above top of pile cap = -50.2 m
Moment in longitudinal direction at Pier bottom location = #DIV/0! kN-m

Water pressure in horizontal direction on structure will nullify each other


Water pressure at top of pile cap level = -1004 kN/m2
Water pressure at bottom of pile cap level = -986 kN/m2
Excess pressure on bottom of cap = 18 kN/m2
So, total force on bottom of pile cap due to cap only, in upward direction = Net pressure x plan area
798.66 kN
Load on shaft only = -11200.9 kN
Total load on bottom of pile cap = -10402.2 kN

Calculation of shear rating of support

Type of bearing at support = Pot cum PTFE


For a simply supported span sitting on identical elastomeric bearing at each end resting on unyielding supports,
Force at each end = Fh/2 + (Vr x Itc) ( Ref:IRC:6-2014,clause 211.5,where, Vr = shear rating ,Itc = movement
of deck above bearing other than that due to applied load )
Size Elastomeric Bearing (in cm)= = 40 x 30 x 8
No of girder = 6
No of bearing pad taking load = 6
ThickNess of neoprene that taking shear = 4.80 cm
Shear Modulus = 10 Kg/cm2
Shear Rating (Vr) = 15000 Kg/cm
Movement of deck (Itc) = = 0.992 cm ( Due to temperature and shrinkage )

Force on Pier in Non-Seismic case = (Fh/2 + Vr.Itc - Vr.Itc) Where Fh = Braking Force on Pier
Hence Force on Pier cap in Non-Seismic Condition
( Case I ) = 100/ 2 + (15000 x 0.992/100) - (15000 x 0.992/100) = 50 KN
( Case II ) = 110.8/ 2 + (15000 x 0.992/100) - (15000 x 0.992/100) = 55.4 KN

Where, K = 1+√(200/d)<=2.0
So, K = 1.321

Where Asl = Area of steel provided = 9817 mm2
bw = Width of section = 3300 mm

r1 = 0.0015
scp = NEd/Ac < 0.2fcd, where, NEd = Axial compressive force = 0

So,VRd.c = 1640.43 KN

Now, VRd.c minimum = (nmin+0.15scp)bw.d


where nmin = 0.031K3/2fck1/2 = 0.2785

Crack width check:


Crack width, Wk = Sr.max(εsm-εcm) Where, Sr.max = Maximum crack spacing
εsm = mean strain in the reinforcement under the relavant combination of loads
εcm = mean strain in the concrete between cracks.

Now, (Eq. 12.6, IRC:112-2011, page-125)

Where, σsc = stress in the tension reinforcement = 168.28 Mpa


αe = Es/Ecm = 6.452
fct.eff = mean value of tensile strength of concrete = 2.9 Mpa (IRC:112-2011, Cl.12.3.3 pg-124)
ρr.eff = As/Ac.eff Where, Ac.eff = Effective area of concrete in tension, surrounding
the reinforcement of depth h c.eff
Where, hc.eff = lesser of the followings

Where, A = level of steel centroid


x
2=0 B = Effective tension area, Ac.eff
d h ε1,ε2 = greater and lesser tensile strain

A
So, hc.eff = 156.25 mm
hc.eff Ac.eff = 156250 mm2
1 B

Now. ρr.eff = As/Ac.eff = 0.0628319


kt = factor dependant on duration of the load may be taken as 0.5
Now in situations where spacing of bonded reinforcement within the tension zone is reasonably
close (i.e <=5(c+f/2)), the maximum crack spacing,

Where, f = diameter of bar = 25 mm c = clear cover = 50 mm


k1 = co-efficient taking acount of bond properties of reinforcement = 0.8
k2 = co- efficient taking account of distribution of strain = 0.5
So,Sr.max = 237.641 mm
And, εsm-εcm = 0.000679242
Minimum value of εsm - εcm = 0.0005048
So, governing value of εsm - εcm = 0.0006792
So, crack width, Wk = Sr.max(εsm-εcm) = 0.161 mm
Maximum crack width = 0.3 mm (Table 12.1, IRC:112-2011, page-122)
Crack width within permissible limit

where, n = 0.6[1-fck/310]

a= distance from the face of column to control perimeter

Minimum punching shear resistance = -19.493 Mpa
1/3
Now punching shear resistance, nRd = 0.12K(80rlf ck ) .2d/a
where, rl = √(rll.rlt) = 0.211
So, nRd = -92.435 Mpa
So, governing nRd = 92.435 Mpa OK, Safe at Reduced Control Perimeter

Punching shear resistance at face


Punching shear resistance at face, nRd = 0.18/gcK(80rlf ck )1/3+(0.1scp)>=nmin+0.1scp
Here, scp = 0
So, nRd = 1.352 nmin = 0.031K3/2fck1/2 = 0.285

Design moment positive means tension at bottom of pile cap


As the piles in longitudinal direction are within the effective depth of pile (d= 1709 mm) so these piles will not contribute in
shear force but piles in transverse direction are beyond the distance 'd' so we shall check the shear force in this direction.

Stress level check:

Grade of concrete = M 35
Grade of steel = Fe 500
Width of section considered = 1m

Section is checked for SLS


Design moment = 894.98 KN-m (for 1m width)
Width of section = 1.0 m
Depth of section = 1.8 m
"E" value of steel = 200000 Mpa
"E" value of concrete = 31000 Mpa
Modular ratio in tension = 8
Concrete failure strain = 0.0035
Maximum allowable stress in concrete = 0.48fck = 16.8 Mpa
(Clause 12.2.1(1), IRC:112-2011, page-120)
Maximum allowable stress in steel = 0.8fyk = 400 Mpa
(Clause 12.2.2, IRC:112-2011, page-120)

Total reinforcement provided = 6434 mm2


Effective depth "d" = 1709 mm
Netral axis depth = x = 319.545
CG of compressive force = 106.515 mm from most compressed surface
Now moment, M = (Stress in steel)x(area of steel)x(d-CG of compressive force) =

So, stress in steel = 86.80 Mpa OK, within permissible limit


Total force = 558.50 KN
Stress in concrete = 3.496 Mpa OK, within permissible limit

Crack Width Check:

Crack width, Wk = Sr.max(Ôsm-Ôcm) Where, Sr.max = Maximum crack spacing


Ôsm = mean strain in the reinforcement under the relavant combination of loads
Ôcm = mean strain in the concrete between cracks.

Now,

(Eq. 12.6, IRC:112-2011, page-125)


Where, ssc = stress in the tension reinforcement = 86.80 Mpa
ae = Es/Ecm = 6.4516129
fct.eff = mean value of tensile strength of concrete = 2.9 Mpa
rr.eff = As/Ac.eff Where, Ac.eff = Effective area of concrete in tension, surrounding
the reinforcement of depth h c.eff
Where, hc.eff = lesser of the followings

Where, A = level of steel centroid


2=0 x
B = Effective tension area, Ac.eff
d h Ô1,Ô2 = greater and lesser tensile strain

hc.eff

1 B

So, hc.eff = 227.5 mm


Ac.eff = 227500 mm2
Now. rr.eff = As/Ac.eff = 0.02828124
kt = factor dependant on duration of the load may be taken as 0.5

Now in situations where spacing of bonded reinforcement within the tension zone is reasonably
close (i.e <=5(c+f/2)), the maximum crack spacing,

Where, f = diameter of bar = 32 mm c = clear cover = 75 mm


k1 = co-efficient taking acount of bond properties of reinforcement = 0.8
k2 = co- efficient taking account of distribution of strain = 0.5
So,Sr.max = 447.354 mm
And, Ôsm-Ôcm = 0.000130893
Minimum value of Ôsm - Ôcm = 0.00026041
So, governing value of Ôsm - Ôcm = 0.00026

So, crack width, Wk = Sr.max(Ôsm-Ôcm) = 0.116 mm


Maximum crack width = 0.3 mm (Table 12.1, IRC:112-2011, page-122)
