Linkbox Chamber Structural Calculation - Typical

This document provides structural design calculations for the side walls and base slab of an underground link box chamber. It includes design loads from soil pressure, wheel loads, and self-weight. Reinforcement is sized to resist bending moments calculated based on the loads and code specifications. T12 reinforcing bars spaced at 200mm are designed for the side walls and base slab.
