DESIGN OF WATER PIPELINE CROSSING ETIHAD RAIL
Project Location:
Date: 22-11-2014
Client: Etihad Rail
Contractor: Al Salmeen General Contracting LLC
Scope:
This design report comprises the design of water pipeline crossing the proposed Railway Track at west Samha. The pipeline is designed as per the guideline provided by the Client. (Appendix C). The crossing arrangement must be so designed to withstand the load imposed by the rolling stock.
Design Criteria:
The Design Calculations have been based on AWWA (American Water Works Association) Standards.
General:
The basis of design is to encase the ϕ600 carrier pipe in 1000ϕ GRC casing pipe, to be enclosed in Reinforced concrete to withstand the dead and live loads imposed by the train operation. The space between carrier pipe and casing pipe will be pressure grouted later on in order to provide it stability. The minimum depth of the
pressure grouted later on in order to provide it stability. The minimum depth of the RCC protection system is kept 2.3 m from the reduced ground level, as our crossing is lying in the area where the existing ground level is above the proposed cut level of the railroad.
2. Loading
2.1 Material densities
The following material densities are used to calculate the dead load of the members.
Reinforced Concrete = 2400 kg/m3
Rail = 70 kg/lm
Concrete Sleepers ( 2 m long) = 335 kg
Ballast = 1200 kg/m3
Backfill material = 19 kN/m3
2.2 Live Load
The crossing is designed to withstand the axle load of Cooper E80 loading. The details or this loading are shown in Figure 1.
