Design of PCC Abutment: The Consulting Engineers Group, The Department of Civil Engineering, EBET-i

Design of PCC Abutment
From the STAAD Analysis, Class 70R Tracked loading is found to be critical and
hence, the same is considered for abutment design, i.e. 535kN
Design
Ther analysis and design of the PCC ABUTMENT is based on following data

The intensity of earth pressure is calculated using coulomb's formula and coeffiecients of active earth
pressure are calculated as follows and the lever arm for the earth pressure is taken as 0.42h(214.1-IRC
