Girdor or slab 4 Abutmont “Foundation —— Elevation = | ‘Wing walt Fi Abutment Breast wall la Wing wall Plan’ Fig. 17.6 Structural Elements of Abutment. 17.10 FORCES ACTING ON ABUTMENTS® The various forces to be considered in the design of abutments are as follows: 1. Dead Load due to superstructure 2. Live load on the superstructure - Self-weight of the abutment - Longitudinal forces due to tractive effort and braking . Forces due to temperature variation Earth pressure due to backfill, The abutment should be designed to resist all these forces. Typical forces acting on an abutment and the resulting stress distribution at the base of the abutment is shown in Fig. 17.7. Awaw 17.11 STABILITY ANALYSIS OF ABUTMENTS _~_ Figure 17.8 shows the section of a stone masonry abutment used for a highway idge together with the forces acting per unit length of abutment. “Safe bearing capacity of soil = 150 kN/m2 Earth fil Dead weight of abutment Earth prossure | Resultant of all orces Stross distribution at base Live loads due to traffic and eee toad of girders §BC of soil at site Fig, 17.7 Typical Forces Acting on Abutment, Coefficient of friction between masonry and soil = 0.5 Density of stone masonry = 25 KN/m? wanennnn-B t }—_2m——41 Fig. 17.8 Stone Masonry Abutment, Compute the stresses developed atthe base and che abutment, 483 Horizontal forces duo to braking effect 3m ‘ ck for the stability of the 484 Analysis of forces Total vertical forces = 1" WW, +, +0, +, where Weight of rectangular portion of abutment ive and dead loads = 20 kN * W,,= Vertical load due to earth = 15 KN Total vertical forces are W= (75 + 37.5 + 20 + 15) = 147.5 KN Considering the moments of all forces about the toe 4, we have M = (95 x 0.5) + (37.5 * 1.33) + (15.1.67) — (20 * 1) = 102.3 kNm Position of resultant R from A z= (Mf) =(223) 060m Ww 147.5. b Eccentricity =e = [ _ :] = [1-069] =031 m | 4 7.6 kNim?

Og = 73.75 (1 — 0.93) = 7.6 kN/m? The maximum stress O, is less than the safe bearing capacity of the soil. Hence the stresses are within safe permissible limits. Check for safety against sliding Total vertical forces W= 147.5 KN mW = (0.5 * 147.5) = 73.75 KN blacks Factor of safety = (24)- 3.68> 2.00 Hence the abutment has sufficient factor of safety against sliding.
