LOAD CALCULATION FOR DESIGN OF PILE FOUNDATION FOR ABUTMENT
BRIDGE NO. : 441
ABUTMENT NO. : A1
SPAN ARRANGEMENT : 5 x 9.15 (RDSO STANDARD PSC Slab) RDSO Drg. No. /B-10272/R
GAD : NRHQE(P) PLAN NO. P-866-GB/2020/[Link].1.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The system consists of a solid rectangular abutment with monolithic dirt wall, square return wall and solid
abutment cap. The top dimensions of the abutment cap are fixed so as to fit in the details of superstucture.
2.0 REFERENCE
For the design of the abutment and its different components generally the provisions of IRS (Indian Railway
Standards) Codes have been followed. Followings are the main references.
i. IRS Bridge Rules v. IS:2911(Part1/Sec2)-2010
ii. IRS Concrete Bridge Codes vi. IS:14593-1998
iii. IRS Substructure codes. vii. IRC:78
