Section 2.0
Super imposed dead load (SIDL) from superstructure is classified into two categories; namely, SIDL1 and SIDL2. SIDL1
comprises of fixed part of loading such as selfweight of rails+plinths, parapet etc and is taken as 68.8 kN/m; whilst SIDL2
comprises of variable part of loading such as , hand rails, selfweight of cables and its supporting systems and is taken as 12.2
kN/m. Following table presents a summary of vertical loads coming from left and right side (of pier) superstructure.
Footpath live load @ 5.0 kN/m2 is considered together with railway loads for 1.0m walkway on either side of superstruture of
top width 9.820m. Footpath live load alone is not considered in the design of substructure and foundation. Following table
presents a summary of vertical loads coming from left and right side (of pier) superstructure alongwith eccentricities.
Transverse eccentricity shown here is due to one side footpath live load; when bothside walkway are loaded, the transverse
eccentricity becomes zero.
Following table summarizes vertical reactions due to modern rolling stock for single track only. The longitudinal dispositions
of axle loads causing maximum reaction and moments on substructure and foundation are computed in Appendix A.
Braking and tractive forces exerted by the modern rolling stock are taken conservatively as 18% and 20%, respectively, of the
total vertical live load present on that span. Since left side superstructure is restrained at the seismic restrainer, the total
longitudinal force applied on that is directly trasnferred to the pier; whilst right side superstructure is placed over elastomeric
bearings and free to move, thus no longitudinal force is transferred. It is also assumed that these longitudinal forces act at the
bearing level. Following table presents summary of longitudinal forces at bearing level on the pier.
FL1 FL2
Elastomeric bearings exert lateral forces on substructure and foundation due to deck translation which occurs due to long
term effects (such as creep, shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressing strands) and temperature variation. The
magnitude of this force is given by the shear stiffness of each bearing times the deck translation. In absence of detail
calculation which will be furnished after completion of superstructure design, deck translation is taken conservatively as 1mm
per metre of superstructure from the point of zero movement. Since left span is restrained to any longitudinal translation, only
bearings under right span exerts force on the pier.
Rupture of one rail can be produced accidentally, or for maintenance purpose, at any section. This will produce a rail opening
(by releasing the rail stresses) at rupture point which is, in general, limited to 50mm from traffic safety purpose. Assuming an
elastic-perfectly plastic behaviour of rail fixtures, the resistance provided by the fixtures against movement relative to deck is
taken as 20 kN/m of one track. The maximum force taken by the fixtures is equal to the span length multiplied by fixture
resistance. Since there is no relative movement between rails and deck, this movement will be taken by the pier, ignoring
conservatively the foundation stiffness.
Aspect ratio (H/d) of pier = 6.42 Longitudinal temp force = 13.76 kN/m
Therefore longitudinal force on the pier = 385.3 kN and acting at BL = 14.047 m
And transverse force on the pier = 107.1 kN and acting at BL = 14.047 m
2.6 Transverse force from superstructure
2.6.1 Raking force
The horizontal force in transverse direction due to racking is taken as a uniformly distributed load of 4.0 kN/m per track
acting at the top of rail head without any impact.

2.6.2 Centrifugal force
The centrifugal force is developed for bridges in curved alignment. The magnitude of this force is given by WV2/127R and is
assumed to act at a height of 1.830 m i.e at the boggie cg above rail top level; where W is the vertical reaction due to railway
live load in kN, V is the design speed in km/h and R is the radius of curvature.
Design speed = 60.0 km/h Radius of curvature R = 340.0 m

Since the structure is loacated at seismic zone II, ductile detailing is not required as per IS:13920 and IRC:6 provisions. The
partial load factors for seismic load used in foundation design are multiplied by the ratio of pier base R-factor to foundation R-
factor to incorporate the effect of different R-factors in foundation design.
Both superstructures are restrained in the trasververse direction by means of seismic restrainer. Transverse seismic force is
therefore distributed based on the tributary area on either side of pier. In order to compute time period, the pier is idealized as
an equivalent single degree of freedom (SDOF) system, whose weight is computed from sustained gravity loads from both
spans, piercap, 80% of the pier weight and 50% of the sustained load due to rolling stock. The height of the SDOF system,
where seismic force effectively acts, is taken as the difference between appropriate CG level and pilecap top level. It is
assumed that pier is fixed at pilecap top level and free at at bearing level. Exclusion of foundation flexibility will decrease time
period and thus provides conservative estimate of seismic force.

Figure 2.8.1 Distribution of transverse seismic force and idealization to SDOF system
The left side superstructure is restrained longitudinally on the pier under consideration by means of high strength restrainer
bars, whilst the right side superstructure is placed over elastomeric bearings whose longitudinal force resistance is ignored for
simplicity. Thus total longitudinal seismic force from left side span will only act on the pier, whereas right side span will not
exert any longitudinal force. In order to compute time period, the pier is idealized as an equivalent single degree of freedom
(SDOF) system, whose weight is computed from sustained gravity loads from left side superstructure, piercap and 80% of the
pier weight. The height of the SDOF system, where seismic force effectively acts, is taken as the difference between piercap
top level and pilecap top level. It is assumed that pier is fixed at pilecap top level and free at at bearing level. Exclusion of
foundation flexibility will decrease time period and thus provides conservative estimate of seismic force.

Figure 2.8.2 Distribution of longitudinal seismic force and idealization to SDOF system shown in elevation
Longitudinal seismic force from superstructure is transferred by elastomeric bearing to substructure in the form of vertical
and horizontal force. Since longitudinal force acts at the centre of mass, a moment is developed. This moment is resisted by a
couple formed by vertical reaction as shown in figure below.

FB1 = FSL1

Transverse seismic force from superstructure is also trasferred by elastomeric bearing to substructure in the form of vertical
and horizontal force. But for single column type pier the effect of the force remains same.

The reaction of launching girder including self weight and hanging girder, R = 4500.00 kN
Therefore total dead load on pier comprises reaction from the launching truss and half of the self weight of the already
erected girder. During erection only seismic load is considered due to its severeness compared to wind load. The same seismic
coefficient is used for computing erection stage seismic effects.

Note 2. For the sake of simplicity, actions causing transverse moments at pier base and pile cap soffit are classified into two categories, namely reversible and irreversible.
Reverseible actions are racking force, transverse seismic force and moment due to transverse disposition of live loads. Irreversible actions are centrifugal force, transverse
moment due to superstructure eccentricity and curvature.

Area of the gross section = 3984690 mm Area of the core section = 3546965 mm
Full confinement reinforcement is provided up to plastic hinge length from pier base; and then reduce gradually to that
required for resisting transverse shear within another plastic hinge length.
