DESIGN REPORT FOR THE LIFTING OF BLOCKS TYPE B1 - B7

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the report is to ensure that the precast plain concrete blocks can be lifted safely without
compromising their structural integrity of the units.

This report also evaluates:

• The tensile stresses of the concrete due to flexure and shear induced during lifting and handling.
• The cracking checks in the blocks at working load conditions to ensure that blocks have sufficient
strength to resist the development of cracks at lifting operations.
• The structural capacities of the blocks to bending and shearing have also been checked in this
report.

The precast blocks tabulated below have been considered in the report. The weights of the blocks below
have been determined by modeling in 3D in AutoCAD software considering the reduction for chamfers.
Lifting pockets have been deducted also in the calculation of weights.

7. LIFTING CONFIGURATION

Locations of the lift pockets in blocks have been positioned in order that the bending and shear forces will
be balanced in the mid-span and in the cantilever area. The lift points have been located symmetrically
about the center of gravity of the block.

Type B1 Type B2 to B6 Type B7

Combined Loads (SWxDAF + Suction) & Dimensions

8. DESIGN INPUTS

a) Static Loads – Based form concrete test results, a unit weight of 24.0 kN/m3 has been considered to
calculate the selfweight of the blocks. Blocks have also been modelled in AutoCAD to get the correct
weight of the blocks where chamfers have been deducted. The weight of the blocks will be assumed
to be evenly distributed over the entire length.

Block Type B1 = 650kN/6.25m = 104 kN/m

Block Type B2 to B6 = 467kN/4.5m = 103.8 kN/m
Block Type B7 = 507kN/5m = 101.4 kN/m

b) Suction/Adhesion loads

A suction force of 5kpa has been considered in the whole soffit area of the block as an additional load.
This force could develop between the precast block drying/curing concrete and its steel plated casting
bed when the unit is being lifted from the pre‐casting bed. This suction/adhesion force has been
included in the elastic analysis. The width considered is 3.0m for all the blocks.

Block Type B1 = 15 kN/m

Block Type B2 to B6 = 15 kN/m
Block Type B7 = 15 kN/m

c) Dynamic Amplification Factors (DAF)

During lifting operations the blocks will be subject to global dynamic load effects, these effects have
been accounted for using a dynamic amplification factor (DAF). The DAF was calculated in
accordance with DNV‐OS‐H205 which provides specific recommendations for inshore and offshore
lifting operations; DAF = 1.07 + 0.25 Ö(100/SHL)

DAF for Block Type B1 = 1.31

DAF for Block Type B2 to B6 = 1.37
DAF for Block Type B7 = 1.35

d) Characteristics Loading including suction effect

DAF for Block Type B1 = (104 + 15) x 1.31 = 155.9 kN/m

DAF for Block Type B2 to B6 = (103.8 + 15) x 1.37 = 162.8 kN/m
DAF for Block Type B7 = (101.4 + 15) x 1.35 = 157.2 kN/m

9. STRUCTURAL VERIFICATIONS AS PER EN-1992-1-1:2004

The structural analysis was based on a limit state design approach using EN 1992‐1‐1:2004.

a) ULS Flexural Checks

The ULS flexural checks were based on linear elastic theory, the concrete tensile and compression design
strength are based on the following equations:

ft,Ed ≤ fctd,pl

ft,Ed = MEd, ULS /Z

fctd,pl = act,pl fctk,0.05 / gc

where; act,pl to be 0.8 as per section 12.3.11, fctk,0.05 to be 1.3 for fck,cube of 20Mpa as per Table 3.1
and gc to be 1.5 as per Table 2.1N for persistent and transient design condition.

fctd,pl = (0.8x1.3) / 1.5 = 0.693 Mpa

The table below summarizes the ULS flexural checks performed on the blocks; the results indicate that all of
the blocks have sufficient strength to resist the ULS loads applied during lifting.

Mz ULS fctd,pl

b) ULS Shear Checks

The ULS shear checks were based on the following equations:

tcp ≤ fcvd
tcp ≤ kVEd /Ac

where; k to be 1.5, VEd to be the ultimate shear and Ac to be area of concrete in compression

The presence of an axial load which produces an area of concrete in compression. The concrete
blocks will not have an axial load applied during lifting however for the purposes of this analysis the area
of concrete in flexural compression will be used.

Structurally sufficient
Block Type B7 3.78 E+06 307.7 0.122 0.693

c) SLS Cracking checks

EN 1992‐1‐1:2004 Section 12.6.3 (3) states that a plain concrete member may be considered to be
un‐cracked if the absolute value of the concrete tensile stress σct1 does not exceed the design tensile
strength of plain concrete fctd,pl. The table below summarizes the results from Appendix B.

10. STRUCTURAL VERIFICATIONS AS PER ACI 318M-8

Design verification has been performed for structural plain concrete Chapter 22 of ACI318M. The table
below summarizes the results from Appendix C.

11. CONCLUSION

The results of the structural verifications indicate that the plain concrete blocks have adequate strength to
resist the shear forces and bending moments during lifting at the ultimate limit state based on 20 Mpa (fcu)
cube strength.

The serviceability verifications indicate that all of the blocks will remain un‐cracked during lifting at the
serviceability limit state as per the design checks.
