1 INTRODUCTION

This document provides analysis and design foundation for 9.0m beacon tower for navigational
aids at breakwater and Coal Jetty as shown in below figure. The scope of this report is to check
the adequacy of the foundation to sustain the loads that are likely to occur during the lifetime
of the structure. Detailed structural and foundation design is presented in this report.

4 Input data

Characteristic compressive cube strength , fck = 30 Mpa

Density of concrete, ϒc = 25 kN/m3

Modulus of elasticity of concrete, Ec = 29580.40 Mpa

Yield Stress of Steel (MS) = 250 MPa

Modulus of Elasticity of Steel = 210000 MPa

5 Structural design for tower

5.1 3D modelling for beacon tower

5.2 Load Calculation

For Deck load

Load due to self-weight

Thickness of chequered plate = 6.00 mm

Load due to chequered plate = 0.472 kN/m2

Self-weight of walkway members are directly applied in STAAD.

 For Live load

Live Load, considering 150kg/m2 = 1.50 kN/m2

For Wind load

The wind loads on the structure shall be considered as per IS 875 (Part 3 ) :
2015
The basic wind speed considered for structural
= 50 m/s
design

Risk coefficient, k1, (Table 1 - IS875 (Part 3 ) :2015) = 1

Terrain, Height & size factor, k2 (Table 2 - IS 875

= 1
(Part 3) : 2015)
Topography factor, k3 (Cl. 6.3.3.1, IS 875 (Part 3) :
= 1
2015)

Importance factor for cyclic condition, k4 = 1.15

Design wind speed, Vzo=Vb x k1 x k2 x k3 x k4 = 58 m/s

Design wind pressure, Pze=0.6 x(Vb)^2 = 1.98 kN/m2

Wind pressure is applied on members of walkway truss as below:

Main vertical member, ISA 90*90*8 = 0.1785 kN/m

Batten member, ISA 75*75*6 = 0.1190 kN/m

Vertical member of the ladder, ISA90*90*8 = 0.1785 kN/m

Above wind load is applied as UDL on respective members

5.3 LOAD COMBINATIONS

Load combinations considered as per Cl. 3.4.2 of IS 800:1984 are as follows:

1. Dead Load + Live Load

2. Dead Load + Live Load + Wind Load

3. Dead Load + Wind Load

5.4 DESIGN CALCULATION

4.1. Check for stress

The below figures show the elevation and bottom plan of the truss, it is found that the
utilization ratio of all the members are less than unity, hence stresses in all the members are
within permissible limits.

4.2. Check for deflection

Maximum deflection = 6.254 m

Span length = 9.000 m
Allowable Deflection (L/400) = 22.500 m

Hence OK

Deflection is within permissible limit

6 Foundation design

The following parameters are considered for foundation design,

Factor of safety against overturning 1.5

Factor of safety against sliding 1.5

Safe bearing capacity of soil, SBC at 1.0m depth 150 kN/m2

6.1 Schematic arrangement for foundation

6.2 Load Calculation

Load detail for the support location is extracted from STAAD file as shown below
Length of the foundation = 2 m

Width of the foundation = 2 m

Height of the foundation = 1 m

Weight of the foundation = 100 kN

Vertical load due to foundation, P1 = 100 kN

Vertical load due to tower, P2, considering forces acting

= 27.295 kN
at C.G of foundation.

Total vertical load, P=P1 + P2 = 127.295 kN

Horizontal load on x-axis = 0.002 kN

Horizontal load on z-axis = 17.60 kN

Moment along x-axis along foundation base, Mx = 0.002 kNm

Moment along z-axis along foundation base, Mz = 17.60 kNm

Moment along x-axis along foundation base, Mx = 0.002 kNm

Moment along z-axis along foundation base, Mz = 17.60 kNm

Total horizontal load on x-axis = 0.00 kN

Total horizontal load on z-axis = 17.60 kN

Moment along x-axis along foundation base = 0.002 kNm

Moment along z-axis along foundation base = 17.60 kNm

Area of footing = 4000000.00 mm2

Section modulus along x-axis, Zxx = 1333333333.33 mm3

Section modulus along z-axis, Zyy = 1333333333.33 mm3

Base pressure along x-axis(maximum) = 31.824 MPa

Base pressure along x-axis(minimum) = 31.824 MPa

Base pressure along z-axis(maximum) = 31.837 MPa

Base pressure along z-axis(minimum) = 31.811 MPa

Allowable safe bearing capacity = 150.00 MPa

Hence OK
6.3.2 Check for sliding
