Dear All,
I am designing Variable Message Signs (Gantries) on a motorway in NorthWest England. The worst Loading condition leads to vertical and lateral loads [Pz and Px]on each Gantry foundation of 145 kN and 101 kN, respectively. In addition, there are bending moments [Mx, My, and Mz...
I am designing the wing walls of a 2.5m*2.5m square culvert below a road in the northwest of the UK. The road side slopes are 2:1. The wing walls has a height that start at 4m and goes down to 0.0m at the end of the embankment slope. The wing wall inclination to the horizontal is 70 degrees, and...
We are designing a widening of a road to become a motorway. The cut sections for widening have heights of 6-8 m. The existing slopes have been stable for about 30 years with a 2:1 slope, and the cut for widening will create the same side slope. the clay has cu=84kPa, c' =21 kPa & Phi'=22...
I am amending a geotechnical report and making geotechnical design for a an integral bridge (one span of 30m) in a motorway to cross railway line. The abutment is 10 m high above the ground surface and founded on bored piles (mostly CFA piles but may be the 27 m piles will be constructed by...
Dear All,
I am designing a road embankment (35 m wide at its crest )with its height increasing from 4 to 10 m along 420 m to cross a bridge. After the bridge the embankment height goes down from 10 to 3 m. The underlying soil consist of: about 0.9 m Top soil+Man Made Ground , underlain by...
