Pipe Sleeper Load Calculation Guide

The document outlines the load calculations for Pipe Sleeper Type-A resting on the ground surface, detailing vertical, axial, and transverse loads. It also includes design specifications for the sleeper, such as dimensions and material densities, along with stability checks that indicate inadequate factors of safety for overturning, sliding, and bearing capacity. Overall, the analysis suggests that the current design does not meet the required safety standards.

LOADS ON SLEEPER TYPE-A (RESTING AT GROUND SURFACE)

PIPE LOAD CALCULATION FOR PIPE SLEEPER (TYPE-A)


Pipe [Link] Pipe Size Node # from Operating Load
Stress Vertical Axial Transverse
Ananlysis (KN) (KN) (KN)
1 6" 270 2 0.942 0.36
2 6" 2640 2 0.8 0.014
3 6" 4650 2 0.931 0.4
4 6" 6390 2 0.85 0.062
5 6" 13360 2 0.9 0.213
Total Pipeway Loads 10 4.423 1.049

Friction Load on Sleeper is taken as per 40 % of total vertical Operating load; 0.4 is
coefficient of friction as per below table

Friction Load on Sleeper


= 4 KN
(Longitudnal to Pipe

So, Following total Pipe Loads will be applied on Sleeper

Vertical Load = 10 KN
Axial Load = 8.423 KN
Tranverse load = 1.049 KN

Wind Load on Sleeper


qz = 0.613 x Kz x Kzt x Kd x V2 x I (N/m2)
qGCF = 2.84 KN/m2
Lateral Load on Pipe sleeper "W" = 2.84x1.0x2.4 = 6.82 KN (2.4m is length of Sleeper and
1.0m is Sleeper Projection)
Pipe Sleepers Design @ Ground Surface
PIPE SLEEPER DESIGN Type-A Unit REMARKS References
Sleeper Length (L) = 2400 mm
Sleeper Top Width(b1) = 300 mm
Sleeper Bottom Width (b2) = 600 mm
Sleeper Depth (h) = 1000 mm
Concrete Density = 24.5 KN/m3
Soil Density = 18 KN/m3
Coefficient of friction = 0.4
Operating Load (V) = 10.00 KN Refer Load Section
Axial Load (A) = 8.423 KN Refer Load Section
Transverse Load (T) = 1.049 KN Refer Load Section
Reduced Wind Load on Sleeper (0.6xW) = 4.092 Refer Load Section
Resultant Lateral Force 'R' = 12.56 KN
STABILITY CHECKS @ service loads REMARKS
OTM = 12.56 KN-m
Foundation Weight = 26.46 KN
Resisting Moment = 10.94 KN-m
FOS for OTM = 0.87 Allowable FOS = 1.75 9.2.1 as per KOC-C-001
Adequacy for OTM = NOTOK FOS<1.75

F=UR = 14.584 KN
FOS for Sliding =F/R = 1.16 Allowable FOS = 1.50 9.2.1 as per KOC-C-001
Adequacy for Sliding NOTOK FOS<1.5

qmax = P/A+M/S = 112.53 Kpa Bearing capacity @ surface is not available in soil
Allowable Bearing Capcity = 39.2 Kpa report. However Bearing capacity is considered 39.2
Kpa which is present @ 0.5m from ground level. This
Adequacy for Bearing = NOTOK qmax>qall Bearing capacity is only a assumption.
