Computation of Wind Force on Superstructure for pier :-

Overall span = 20.00 m

Depth of superstructure = 1.7 m

Formation Level = 11.000 RL

Bearing Level = 9.015 RL

Height of crash barrier = 0.9 m

Bed Level = 3.000 RL

Height of pier shaft = 7.370 m

Wind force on super structure (clause 212.2,IRC:6)= 4.1 t @ RL 10.315

Wind Force on Live Load (clause 212.4 , IRC:6)

Wind force @ 300kg/m = 5.6 t (considered to be maxm. For Class A

which is 18.8m long)
Minimum force (clause 212.6, IRC:6) = @ 0.45t/m = 9t @ RL 12.5

Total Wind force on Loaded Superstructure = 9.7 t @ RL 11.29

Total Wind force on Unloaded Superstructure = 12.5 t @ RL 10.315

Computation of Wind Force on Pier shaft :-

Exposed area = 9.9495

Level at which wind acts on pier shaft = 4.995 RL

Height of wind force = 1.995 m

Pressure = 0.052 t/m2

Wind force = 0.52 t

Total Loaded wind force = 10.3 t @ RL 10.973 m

Total Unloaded wind force = 13.0 t
