3. Calculate total live load acting on Or? pipe. <br />WT = (w + LL)LSL <br />Assuming truck travel transverse to pip . interline. <br />LL = <br />64 <br />L = <br />Spread a = 3.67 feet <br />Spread b = <br />2.83 feet <br />B, = <br />3.08 feet, which is greater than <br />Spread b, therefore <br />SL = <br />2.83 feet <br />WT = <br />(1,920 + 64)x3.67x2.83 = 20,600 <br />pounds <br />Assuming truck travel parallel to pipe centerline. <br />LL = 64 <br />Spread a = 3.67 feet <br />L = Spread b = 2.83 feet <br />BC = 3.08 feet, which is less than Spread a, <br />therefore <br />SL = 3.08 feet <br />WT = (1,020 + 64)x2.83x3.08=17,300 pounds <br />WT Maximum = 20,600 pounds; and truck travel is <br />transverse to pipe centerline <br />4. Calculate live load on pipe in pounds per linear foot. <br />Ra = 3.08 feet <br />Le = L+1.75(3/4Ro) <br />Le = 3.67 + 1.75(.75x3.06) = 7.71 feet <br />WL = WT/Le <br />WL = 20,60017.71 = 2,672 pounds per linear foot <br />EXAMPLE 3 <br />Given: Same as Example 1, except minimum depth of <br />fill is 4 feet. <br />Find: The maximum live load on the pipe in pounds <br />per linear foot. <br />Solution: <br />1. Review project data <br />A wall B 30-inch diameter circular concrete pipe has <br />a wall thickness of 3.5 inches, therefore Bc is 3.08 <br />feet and Ro is 3.08 foot. Height of earth cover is 4 <br />feet. Use AASHTO LRFD Criteria with Select <br />Granular Soil Fill. <br />2. Calculate average pressure intensity at the outside <br />top of the pipe. <br />From Table 3, the critical load, P, is 50,000 pounds <br />from two single dual whee!s of two Alternate Load <br />Configurations in the passing mode, and the Spread <br />Area is: <br />A = (Spread a)(Spread b) <br />A = (1.67 + 4 + 1.15x4)(0.83 + 4 + 1.15x4) <br />A = (10.27)(9.43) <br />A = 96.85 .quare faet <br />I.M.= 33(1-0.125H)/100 <br />I.M.= 0.165 <br />w = P(1 + I.M.)/A = 50,000(1 +.165)/96.85 <br />w = 601lb/ft2 <br />3. Calculate total live load acting on the pipe. <br />WT = (w + LL)LSL <br />Assuming!ruck travel transverse to pipe centerline. <br />LL = 64 <br />L = Spread a = 10,27 feet <br />Spread b = 9.43 feet <br />B, = 3.08 feet, which is less than Spread b, <br />therefore <br />SL = 3.08 feat <br />WT = (601 + 64)x10.27x3.08 = 21,035 pounds <br />Assuming truck travel parallel to pipe centerline <br />LL = 64 <br />Spread a = 10.27 feet <br />L = Spread b = 9.43 feet <br />BC = 3.08 feet, which is less than Spread a, <br />therefore <br />SL = 3.08 feet <br />WT = (601 + 64)x9.43x3.08 = 19,315 pounds <br />WT Maximum = 21,035 pounds; and truck travel is <br />transverse to pipe centerline <br />4. Calculate live load on pipe in pounds per linear foot. <br />Ra = 3.08 feet <br />Le = L+1.75(3/4Ro) <br />Le = 10.27 + 1.75(0.75x3.08) = 14.3 feet <br />8 1 American Concrete Pipe Associa0on • 222 W.
