Width of bridge, Wb = 13.4 m = 44.0 ft.
Width of footpath, Wf = 0.95 m = 3.12 ft.

2 - Dead Load & Live Load of Superstructure:


Number of long girder, Ng-long = 2.0 nos.
Number of x-girder, nx-girder = 25.0 nos.
Concrete strength (28-days) of girder, f'cg = 4.4 ksi
Unit weight of concrete, γc (5.0 < f'cg < 15 ksi) = 0.14+0.001×f'cg = 0.15 kcf
(T 3.5.1-1, AASHTO-2017, Page; 3-19)
Unit weight of wearing course, γwc = 0.14 kcf
X-sectional area of arch rib, Ag-arch = 15.71 sft.
X-sectional area of non-composite long girder, Ag-long = 14.0 sft.
X-sectional area of non-composite x-girder at support, Ax-girder(support) = 7.6 sft.
X-sectional area of non-composite x-girder at interior, Ax-girder(interior) = 5.6 sft.
X-sectional area of deck slab, Adeckslab = 25.75 sft.
X-sectional area of wearing surface, Aws = 6.4 sft.
Spacing of props along the alignment (assumed) = 0.90 m = 3.0 ft.
Effective length of girder for staging, Lg-staging = 158.1 ft.
2.1 - Long girder weight:
Long girder weight, DCL-girder = Ag-long * γc = 2.0 k/ft./gir.
Total weight of long girder = 641.9 kip

2.2 - X-girder weight:


X-girder weight at support, DCX-girder(support) = Ag-x-girder(support) * γc = 1.11 k/ft./gir.
Weight of x-girder at support = 91.5 kip
X-girder weight at interior, DCX-girder(interior) = Ag-x-girder(interior) * γc = 0.81 k/ft./gir.
Weight of x-girder at interior = 764.9 kip
Total weight of x-girder = 856.4 kip

2.3 - Deck slab weight:


Deck slab weight, DCdeck = As-deck * γc = 3.7 k/ft.
Total deck slab weight = 590.2 kip

2.4 - Wearing surface weight:


Wearing surface weight, DWws = Aws * γwc = 0.9 k/ft.
Total wearing surface weight = 0.0 kip

2.5 - Arch rib weight:


Arch rib weight, DCarch = Ag-arch * γc = 2.3 k/ft./gir.
Total wearing surface weight = 864.2 kip

2.6 - Load on Individual Pipes:


Total load of superstructure on staging = 2953 kip
= 1339 ton
Formwork weight (assume 10% of dead load weight) = 133.9 ton
Construction live load (assume 5% of dead load weight) = 67.0 ton
Total load on staging = 1540 ton
Number of 5-6 in. φ pipe will be used at transverse direction (assumed) = 12.0 no's
Number of 5-6 in. φ pipe will be required at longitudinal direction (single row) = 53 no's
Total number of pipe will be required = 636 no's
Average applied load on individual pipes, P = 2421 kg
3 - Driving Capacity:
Weight of hammer (standard), W = 250 kg
Free fall height of hammer, H = 6 ft. = 1829 mm
Penetration constant, C (as SI units) = 25
Average penetration on last 10 blow, S = 10 mm

3.1 - Capacity of Post:


Capacity of post, P =1/6*(W*H)/(S+C) = 2178 kg
Factor of safety, f = applied load on pipes/capacity of post = 0.90
Increase the number of pipes
Assume block size (8 inch. Thick) = 2 ft. X 2 ft.
= 4.0 sft.
Assume hard bed capacity = 1.0 tsf.
Required capacity = 0.605 tsf.
