Input Data (Compartment No1 Pedestal is Heavy, Loads are corresponding to this Compartment)
Ver tical Load of first pipe = 92.7 kN
Ver tical Load of second pipe = 61.47 kN
Ver tical Load of third pipe = 0 kN
Ver tical Load of fourth pipe = 0 kN
Ver tical Load of fifth pipe = 0 kN

Total Vertical Load = 154.17 kN

Transverse Load 10% of Vertical load = 15.417 kN

Longitudinal load 30% of Vertical load = 46.251 kN
Pedestals
Width of pedestals = 0.300 m
Length of the Pedestals = 3 m
Height of the Pedestals = 0.963 m
Unit weight of Concrete = 25 kN/m3

A) Weight due to Pedestals = 25X0.3X 0.963X3

= 21.6675 kN

B) Axial Load = 154.17 kN

Total Vertical Load = 175.838 kN

Design of Sleeper
Axial Load = 175.8 kN
Factored Load = 264 kN
Moment = 44.54 kNm
Factored Moment (Mu) = 66.81 kNm
Unsupported Length = 1.2 X 0.963 = 1.156 m
3 X Least lateral dimension = 3 X 0.3 = 0.9 m
fck = 30 N/mm2
fy = 415 N/mm2
Diameter of main Bar = 12 mm
Effective Clear Cover = 51 mm
 DESIGN OF SLEEPER PEDESTAL IN CULVERT

Design as Wall
Mu/fckbD2 = .0082
Pu/fckbD = 0.010
d'/D = 0.170

As per the chart 34 SP 16-1980

pt/fck = 0.06
pt% = 1.8
Area of Steel required = 5400 mm2

Min % of reinforcement required = 0.12 IS456:2000 Cl no:32.5b

= 360 mm2
Area required = 5400 mm2
Area on each vertical face = 2700 mm2
Spacings of bars required = 126 mm
Spacing of Bars provided = 125 mm
Area provided = 2714 mm2
Provide 12mm dia bars @ 125mm c/c

Distribution reinforcement
% Distribution reinforcement required for each face = 0.2 % IS456:2000 Cl no:32.5 C(1)

Areq = 600 mm2

On each face = 300 mm2
Diameter of bars = 12 mm
Spacing of Bars = 377 mm
Spacing of Bars provided = 375 mm
Aprov = 302 mm2

Provide 12mm dia bars @ 375mm c/c

Links are not provided since provided steel is less than 1% as per CL 32.5.2 of IS :456:2000
Summary
