DESIGN BASIS REPORT OF RCC CLOSED CHANNEL

1.0 General Arrangements
The RCC closed channel consists of 2 opening of 6 m clear width. The thickness of the
top slab is proposed as 400 mm and bottom slab of 700 mm is considered for a length of 1m
from the face of the wall on either side. The outer walls shall have varying thickness from 400
mm on top to 700 mm on bottom and inner wall thickness of 300mm.The ground level of the
proposed structure is +3.850m CD. The top level of the top slab is +2.385m CD and bottom
level of the channel is considered as -4.564m CD
Tidal Data
Highest high water level

+1.785 m CD

Lowest low water level

-0.205 m CD

2.0 Design methodology

A 2D analysis has been carried out using conventional STAAD Pro software. The
different loads are applied as per the guidelines of IS codes. The critical load case has been
considered for the design. The design has been done using the Limit state method of Collapse
and crack width is checked based on the limit state of serviceability condition

3.0 Materials and Cover

The design of the structure is based on the following materials and properties
Grade of Concrete

M35

The grade of steel

Fe 415

Clear cover is provided as 75 mm for wall, bottom slab and top slab

4.0 Loads
4.1 Dead Load
Self weight of the structural members is taken as dead load. Density of Concrete is
assumed as 25 kN/m3.

4.2 Live Load

The live load for the structure is considered for Class AA loading.
4.3 Water pressure
Water load is considered as w h where unit weight of the water is taken as 10 kN/m

4.4 Earth Pressure

Bore Hole 2 soil data is considered for the earth pressure calculation.
Earth pressure is calculated based on the code IS 2911 1979.

Description of staad model:

The staad pro model of the RCC closed channel consists of walls, bottom slab and top
slab. The walls, top slab and bottom slab are modeled as beam elements. Loads such as water
pressure, submerged earth pressure and dynamic earth pressures have been appropriately
assigned. The soil reaction is idealized with vertical springs and assigned in staad model as
follows

CALCULATION OF SPRING CONSTANT:

Bulk modulus (approximate formulae)

40xUBC

From soil report the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of soil

772 kN/m2 (BH: 05)

The bulk modulus of soil

30880 kN/m2

Spring stiffness of soil

=Bulk modulus x influence area

For 0.5m spacing (intermediate support)

=30880(1x0.5) =15440 kN/m

For 0.77m spacing

=30880x (1x0.77) =23,777.6kN/m

At end support s

=23777.6/2=11888.8 kN /m

Last but one on either side

=15000/2+11550=19608.8 kN /m
