8. Design a well foundation for the pier of a major highway bridge to suit the following
data:
Internal diameter of well = 2.5 m
Type of soil strata = Clayee (K=0.033)
Depth of well = 25 m below bed level
Materials: M-20 grade concrete & Fe-415 HYSD bars

9. Design a post tensioned prestressed concrete slab bridge deck for a national highway
for the following data:
Clear span = 10 m, Width of bearing = 400 mm, Clear width of road way = 7.5 m with
1 m footpath on each side, Kerbs = 600 mm wide by 300 mm deep, Thickness of
wearing coat = 80 mm, Live load = IRC class AA tracked vehicle, Type of structure =
class 1 type, Materials = M-40 grade concrete and 7mm dia high tensile wires with an
ultimate tensile strength of 1500 N/mm2 housed in cables with 12 wires and anchored
by Freyssinet anchorages of 150 mm dia. Assume compressive strength of concrete at
transfer as 35 N/mm2 and loss ratio as 0.8.
