Comments on Design of Longitudinal Beam D:

(a) STAAD FILE (Main jetty _crack short term Z):

(i) In load case 11,15,19 & 23 impact factor for live load considered is 15%, but
as per IS 4651(Part-III), Clause no 5.1.3, it should be 25%.please clarify??
(ii) In load case 43, member load defined as
116 TO 128 UNI GX 2.125, but it should be 97 TO 110 UNI GX 2.125 please
modify.
(iii) In load case 44, member load defined as 116 TO 128 UNI GZ 2.125, but it
should be 97 TO 110 UNI GZ 2.125. please modify.
(iv) In load case 81, there is repetition of load defined for members from 227,
214, 201, 188, 175, 162 & 149.please modify.
(v) During storms/tsumani, RMQC Cranes are tie down to the berths and it can
create horizontal force and vertical load as point loads at tie down locations. But
this load case is not considered in load combinations and design. Please clarify??
(vi)In RMQC Extreme condition, Horizontal forces due to RMQC in X and Z
directions are not considered in load cases and load combinations, please
clarify??
(vii) In Load combinations, FZ horizontal operating with vertical load is
considered, but FX horizontal operating with vertical load is not considered.
Please clarify (Ex: Load combinations from 102 to 109) ??
(viii) In Load combinations from 205 to 209,302 to 305, 321 to 324,503 to
506,522 to 525, only vertical load due to RMQC is considered, but FX/FZ
horizontal operating with vertical live load is not considered. Please clarify??
(ix) In load combination 521, load combination defined as
1 1.0 2 1.0 3 1.0 4 1.0 6 1.0,but it should be 1 1.0 2 1.0 3 1.0 4 1.0 8 1.0.
(x) In load case no 93, differential shrinkage of concrete is not considered. Please
consider differential shrinkage in terms of temp. difference and apply in staad
model as temp.difference.
(xi) In load cases, wind load in Z direction considered only, but not considered in
X-direction. Please clarify??
(b) STAAD FILE (Main jetty _limit state_1.4 pile dia_Z):
In addition to the above comments, the below comments are additional.
(i) In load combinations, partial load factor for live load in vertical direction
considered as 1.5, but horizontal force due to live load during operating condition
taken as 1.0.please clarify??
(For Example load combination 402, partial load factor for load case 11 taken as
1.5, but for load case 13, taken as 1.0).
(ii) in earthquake load combinations, live load considered as 50%,but in staad
model taken as 100%.please clarify??
(Ex: For load combination 585, partial load factor for load case 11(RMQC Vertical
load) taken as 1.2, but as per code, it should be 0.5*1.2=0.6).
(c ) Design Document & Drawing:
(i) In crack width calculation,Ece taken as Ec/2,but it should be Ec. please clarify??
(ii) In crack width calculation, spacing between bars(s) taken different from
design document/drawing.
For example, refer page no-21, spacing between bars(s) taken as 98mm, but as
per design document, it should be 121.5mm ((1000-2*50-12*2-25)/7).please
recalculate the crack width as per actual spacing between bars and dia of bar.
(iii) Reinforcement for longitudinal shear in tabular format, area proposed
calculations (provide shear reinforcement) are not correct. Please modify.
(Example page no-151).
(iv) Provide minimum reinforcement in web area as 0.1% of gross cross section
on both sides and spacing of bar not exceed 300mm.
(v)In drawing, bar mark 4 curtailed at 3.0m from centre of beam, please ensure
sufficient development ( Ld) provided or not??
(vi) Please provide the reinforcement detailing of beam at beam and pile junction
in plan.
(d) Drawing for A1, A2, B1, B2 &C1:
(i) in drawing sagging reinforcement bar mark shown as 15 in elevation, but as
per cross section it should 27.please modify.
