Jib Foundation Preliminary Design

This document summarizes the sizing and stability analysis of a jib crane foundation: 1) The foundation is designed to support a 10 metric ton crane with a vertical reaction of 17kN and overturning moment of 41kNm. 2) Stability calculations show safety factors above minimum requirements for overturning, bearing pressure, and horizontal sliding for both dry and submerged conditions. 3) Reinforcement design includes bottom bars for bending and shear, with top bars also provided for bending. Calculations confirm reinforcement and depth provided are adequate for structural design loads.

2.3 STABILITY CHECK

Case I: 1.0 (Dry)

Overturning

Overturning Moment, Mo = 41kNm


Total Axial Load, Wt = Wt (dry) + D = 127kN

Eccentricity, e = Mo X sin45/Wt = 0.23m

Factor of Safety against overturning =(Wt X L/2)/Mo = 2.66 > 1.5 O.K

Bearing

Equivalent uniform pressure = W t/(L-2e)2 = 81 kN/m2 < 120 O.K

Horizontal Sliding

Horizontal Force Sf 0kN


Frictional Force Fr = X (SW tSub + D) N/A
Factor of Safety against sliding = Fr / Sf N/A N/A
Max. Allowoable FOS against sliding 1.50

Case II: 1.0 (Submerged)

Overturning

Overturning Moment, Mo = 41kNm


Total Axial Load, W t = W t (Sub) + D = 98kN

Eccentricity, e = Mo X sin45/Wt = 0.29m

Factor of Safety against overturning =(W t X L/2)/Mo = 2.05 >1.5 O.K


Max. Allowoable FOS against overturning = 1.50

Bearing

Equivalent uniform pressure = W t/(L-2e)2 = 63 kN/m2 < 120 O.K

Horizontal Sliding

Sliding Force Sf = W k = 0kN


Frictional Force Fr = X (SW tSub + D) = N/A
Factor of Safety against sliding = Fr / Sf = N/A N/A
Max. Allowoable FOS against sliding = 1.50

3.0 Structural Design

Bolt array Diameter = 0.67m

Unit Self Weight of foundation w =

Parftial FOS, f = 1.60

For ULS Mu = f X Mo = 65kNm

Wu = f X Wt = 156kN ``

e = Mu X sin45/Wu = 0.29m

Equivalent uniform pressure Peq = W t/(L-2e)2 = 126kN/m2

3.1 Reinforcement
Designing for ULS
Bottom reinforcement
2
Design Ult. Moment M = (Peq - (H*24))*(L/2-D/2) /2 = 14kNm/m

Cover to reinforcement c = 50.00mm

Allow for Y16 bars = 16.00mm

Effective depth d = H-c--0.5= 926.00mm

Take d = 925.00mm

K = M/fcubd2 0.000632482

La = 0.5+(0.25-K/0.9) 1.00
Z = la X d 879.70mm
Area of reinforcement As =M/0.95*fy*Z = 35mm2/m

Minimum reinforcement = 0.13%bd = 120mm2/m

Provide norminal Reinorcement Y16@200cc both ways for ease of construction

Top reinforcement
2
Design Ult. Moment M = 1.4*(H*24)*(L/2-D/2) /2 = 4kNm/m

Provide norminal Reinorcement Y16@200cc both ways

Shear
Shear Force V = (Peq*(L/2-D/2)2/2)-(H*24*(L/2-D/2)2/2) = 14kN/m width

<0.8*fcu = 3.92N/mm2
Norminal shear stress v = V/bvd = 0.01N/mm2 <0.8*fcu

100As/bvd = 0.00

From table 3.8 BS8110 vc = 0.36N/mm2

vc>v hence depth provided is adequate; hence no shear reinforcement required
