FOOT OVER BRIDGE DESIGN
INTRODUCTION
A footbridge or person on foot connect is a scaffold intended for walkers and now
and again cyclists, creature movement and stallion riders, as opposed to vehicular
activity. Footbridges supplement the scene and can be utilized beautifully to
outwardly connect two particular zones or to flag an exchange. In numerous created
nations, footbridges are both useful and can be lovely masterpieces and figure. For
poor provincial groups in the creating scene, a footbridge might be a group's just
access to medicinal centers, schools and markets, which would some way or another
be inaccessible when waterways are too high to cross. Straightforward suspension
connect outlines have been created to be reasonable and effectively constructible in
such rustic zones utilizing just neighborhood materials and work.
An encased footbridge between two structures is in some cases known as a skyway.
Scaffolds accommodating the two people on foot and cyclists are regularly alluded to
as green extensions and frame a vital piece of economical transport development
towards more reasonable urban areas. Footbridges are frequently arranged to
enable people on foot to cross water or railroads in territories where there are no
adjacent streets to require a street connect. They are likewise situated crosswise
over streets to give walkers a chance to cross securely without backing off the
activity. The last is a kind of passerby detachment structure, cases of which are
especially found close schools, to help counteract kids running before moving autos.

Design data of foot over bridge
Clear span = 21m Width of carriageway = 25m Cross girder spaced at centers = 2.1m Type of truss configuration = N type
Assumptions:
Dead load and live load loads IS 875 part I &II Wind loading IS 875 part III Pedestrian loading = 4000 N/m2 Flooring to be made timber planks
Design of planking:
Span = 2.1 m
Assume the thickness of planking = 60 mm
Dead load of planking:
= (60×1000) ×8000 [dead load of wood = 8000 N/m3]
= 480 N/m2
Live load = 4000 N/m2
Total load = 4480 say 4500 N/m2
For 1 m width of timber planking
Total load = 4500 N/m2
Maximum bending moment = wl2/8
= [4500×(2.1)2]/8 =2480.625 N/m
Equating this moment of resistance, we have
(1/6)fbd2 = 2480.62×1000
(1/6)×f×1000×(60)2 = 2480.625×1000
f = 2480.625/600 = 4.135 N/m2
Where permissible value of bending stress
f = 10 N/mm2
Maximum shear force = wl2/2
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
= (4500×2.1)/2 = 4725 N
Mean shear stress = w/bd
= 4500/(60×1000) = 0.075 N/mm2
Maximum shear stress = 1.5× mean shear stress
= 1.5× 0.075 = 0.1125 N/mm2
Safe shear stress = 0.8 N/mm2
M.I of section of strip = bd3/12
=1000×(60)3/12 = 18×106 mm4
Maximum deflection seen δ =
=
= 6.33 mm
Allowable/permissible deflection = span/325
= 2100/325 =6.46mm
Design of cross beams
Clear width of footway = 2.5m
Assume the center to center distance between two girders
= 2.5+0.3 = 2.8m
Load transmitted to one girder from the flooring
= 2×2.5×4500 = 23625N
Self weight of the beam (assumed)
=300 N
Total load = 23925 N
Bending moment = wl/8
= (23925×2.8)/8 = 8373.75 Nm
Permissible bending stress = .66×fy
σbc = 0.66×250 = 165 N/m
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
As we know that section modulus (Z) is given by
Z = M/ σbc
= (8373.75×1000)/165 = 50750 mm3
Using steel table we found that the permissible channel section that can be used for Z =
50.750 cm3 is
ISLC 125 with value of Zxx = 57.1 cm3
Seismic coefficient method using IS 1893
αh = βIαo
Zone IV αo = 0.05
β = 1.0 (for type II medium soil) I
= 1.5 (important bridges)
αh = 0.05×1×1.5 = .075
Fh = Horizontal seismic force
Fh = αh × wm
= 6200 × 0.075 = 465 N/m
Dead load transmitted from cross beam
= 696.42 N/m or say 700 N/m
Weight of one truss assumed
= 400 N/m
Total dead load = 700 + 400 = 1100 N/m
Live load on one truss = (4000 × 2.5)/2 = 5000 N/m

= (8.4 × 12.6)/(21 × 2)
= 2.5
Maximum tension in the member L3 L4
= Area of Influence line diagram × load intensity
= (1/2)×21×2.80×6100 = (1/2)×21×2.5×6100
= 179340/150 = 1195 m2 = 161406/150 = 1076 m2
Allowing a stress of 150 N/m , Net area required for this member
= 162750/150 = 1085 m2
Weight of two truss including bracing
= 1085 × 0.785 = 851 N/m
Weight of one truss including bracing
= 851/2 = 425.5 N/m
Hence safe

Wind load calculations
Basic wind speed for delhi zone is vb = 47 m/s
Design wind speed at any height z is given by
Vz = Vb K1 K2 K3 K4
K1 = Probablity factor (risk factior) K2 =
Terrain roughness and HF
K3 = Topography factor K4
= importance factor
Using IS 875 we came to know that
From table 1: Risk factor for different classes of structure in different wind speed zones.
K1 = 1.07
From table 2:
K2 = 0.8
Topography factor (K3) = 1.00 for as slope < 30
Importance factor for cyclonic region (K4)
As our structure is a post cyclonic importance
Pz = 0.6 Vz2
Vz = 47×1.07×0.5×1.0 =40.232 m/s
Pz = 0.6×40.232 = 971.168 N/m2
But design wind pressure (Pd) is calculated as follows Pd
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
= Kd Ka Kc Pz
Kd = wind directionality factor
Ka = area average ring factor Kc
= combination factor
Pd = 0.9×0.9×1.0×971.168 = 786.65 N/m2

The final Design of Girder of Foot Over Bridge
Top chord of the Girder
Design force = 170987.5 N (Compressive)
Length of Top chord = 2.1 m or 2100mm
Try Double L‟s 60×60×10
Area = 2200 mm2
r = 1.78 cm or 17.8 mm
Slenderness ratio = l/r
= (0.85×2100)/17.8 = 100.2
or say l/r = 100
For value of l/r = 100, safe compressive stress = 80 N/mm2 Safe
load
= 80×2200 = 176000 N
But the maximum load that chord has to bear is 170987.5 N
Hence safe
Other top chord member will be designed in the same way
Bottom chord of the Girder
Design force = 162850.00 N
Safe tensile force = 150 N/mm2
Net area required
A(req) = 162850.00/150 = 1085.66mm2
Try Double L‟s 60×60×10 Gross
area
A(g) = 2200 mm2
Diameter of rivets = 20mm
Making allowance for 4 rivet hole
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
4 ×d×t = 4×21.5×10 = 860mm2
So, Net area available
Anet = 2200 – 860 = 1340 mm2
A(req) = 1085 mm2
Hence safe
Member U0 L0
Vertical members
Compressive force = 58685.00 N
Length of member = 2.0 m
Since the end vertical members it is desirable to provide a double section Try
Double L‟s 60×60×10
Area = 2200 mm2
r = 1.78 cm or 17.8 mm
Slenderness ratio = l/r
= (0.85×2100)/17.8 = 95.50
for value of l/r = 95.50, safe compressive stress = 84.5 N/mm2
Safe load
= 84.5×2200 = 185900 N
Hence safe Member
U1 L1
Compressive force = 46256.8 N
Length of member = 2.0 m
Try single L‟s 60×60×10
Area = 1100 mm2
r = 1.15cm or 11.5 mm
Slenderness ratio = l/r
= (0.85×2000)/11.5 = 147.5
Permissible compressive stress 50.22 N/mm2
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
so the total allowable load is
50.22 × 1100 = 55242 N
Hence safe
Member U2L2 , U3L3 , U4 L4 and U5 L5 can be designed in the same way with one LS 60×60×10 for compressive force
For Tension force in U4 L4
Maximum tension = 1470 N
Effective area for single angle Tension
= A1 + A2K
A1 = Net section area of connected leg
= (60-5)×10-21×10 = 340 mm2
A2 = Net section area of outstanding leg
= (60-5)×10 = 550mm2
K = 3A1/(3A1+A2)
= 1020/(1020+550) = 0.649
Net area provided
= 0.649×550+340 = 697.324 mm2
Permissible tensile stress = 150 N/mm2
Safe tensile load
= 649.324×150 = 104598.72 N
But the maximum tension in member is just 1470 N
The section is safe
Same for tension force U5 L5
Member U0 L1
Diagonal member
Maximum tension = 85050 N
Permissible tensile stress = 150 N/mm2
Try single L‟s 60×60×10
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
Safe tension for this section = 104598.72 Hence the section is safe
Member U1 L2
Maximum tension in this member = 67029.61 N So,
again let us provide single LS 60×60×10
hence safe
Member U2 L3
Maximum tension in this member = 50615.32 N
So, again let us provide single LS 60×60×10
which is safe
Member U3 L4
Design compressive force = 2131.5 N
Design tensile force = 39941.0 N
So, both for compression and tension single LS 60×60×10 will be safe to be provided Member U4 L5
Design compressive force = 23019.5 N
Design tensile force = 11658 N
So, both for compression and tension single LS 60×60×10 will be enough
Design of joints
Assume the thickness of gusset plate = 8mm
Diameter of rivets = 20 mm
Finished diameter of rivets
= 20 + 1.5 = 21.5mm
Rivet value in single shear
= τvf × (π/4)d2 [τvf = 100 N/mm2 ]
= 100 × (π/4) × 21.52 = 36305 N
Rivet value in double shear
= 2 × 36305 = 72610 N
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
Rivet value in bearing on 8mm plate
= σcb × d × t
= 300 × 21.5 × 8 = 51600 N
Joint U0
Riveting in U0 U1 = 61619.5/51600 = 2 rivets
Riveting in U0 L0 = 58685/51600 = 2 rivets
Riveting in U0 L1 = 85050/51600 = 3 rivets

Rakers Assume
the rakers be provided at an angle θ with the vertical For the
arrangement shown in fig.
tan θ = 0.5/2.0 = 1/4
θ = 14002‟
H in rakers is assumed to be 2.5 % of maximum compressive force in top girder T =
thrust in rakers
Tsinθ = (2.5/100) × 170987.50 = 4274.68 N
T = 4274.68/sin14002
‟ = 17628.50
Length of rakers
= 2.0 sec14002‟ = 2.062m
The rakers can be designed as compression member of 2.062 long for 17628.50 N So,
max. force in rakers = 17628.5 (compressive).
Length of raker
= 2.062m = 2062mm
Effective length „l‟

So, Slenderness ratio = l/r
= (0.85×2062)/16.9 = 103.7
or say l/r = 100
So, for this value, the safe compressive strength of the section
= 80 N/mm2 for [fy = 225 MPa]
Therefore total compressive load taken up by the section
=
Which is for above from total max. Compressive of 1728.5N.
Hence section is safe.

3. Solution For Fe 410 grade of steel: fu = 410 MPa,
fy = fyw = fyf = 250 MPa
For hand-operated OT crane
Lateral loads = 5% of maximum static wheel load
Longitudinal loads = 5% of weight of crab and weight
lifted Maximum permissible deflection = L/500
3.1. Partial safety factors
γm0 = 1.10
γmw = 1.50 (for site welds)
Load factor γm1 = 1.50
3.2. Design forces
Maximum wheel load:
Maximum concentrated load on crane=300 + 40 = 340 kN
Maximum factored load on crane = 1.5 × 340 = 510 kN
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
The crane will carry the self-weight as a uniformly distributed load = 11.11 kN/m
Factored uniform load = 1.5 × 11.11 = 16.67 kN/m
For maximum reaction on the gantry girder the loads are placed on the crane girder
as shown in Fig. 2.
Taking moment about B,
RA × 18 = 510 × (18-1.2) + or, RA = 626 kN
Similarly, RB = 184 kN
The reaction from the crane girder is distributed equally on the two wheels at the
end of the crane girder.
Therefore, maximum wheel load on each wheel of the crane = = 313 kN
3.3 Maximum bending moment
Assume self weight of gantry girder as 2.2 kN/m.
For maximum bending moment, the wheel loads shall be placed as shown in Fig. 4.
Total dead load = 2200 + 300 = 2500 N/m = 2.5 kN/m
Factored dead load = 1.5 × 2.5 = 3.75 kN/m
The position of one wheel load from the midpoint of span
= wheel base4 = 3.54 = 0.875 m
Bending moment due to live load only:
Taking moment about D,
RC × 10 = 313 × (10-2.375) + 313 × 4.125
RC = 367.78 kN
Taking moment about C,
RD × 10 = 313 × 2.375 + 313 × 5.875
RC = 258.22 kN
Faculty of Degree Engineering - 083 Department of Civil Engineering - 06
Maximum bending moment due to live load
= 258.22 × 4.125
= 1065.16 kNm
Bending moment due to impact = 0.1 × 1065.16
= 106.52 kNm
Total bending moment due to live and impact loads
= 1065.16 + 106.52 = 1171.68 kNm
3.4 Maximum shear force
For maximum shear force, wheels are placed as shown in Fig. 5.
Taking moment about D,
RC × 10 = 313 × 10 + 313 × 6.5
RC = 516.45 kN
Hence maximum shear force due to wheel loads = 516.45 kNm
3.5 Lateral forces
Lateral force transverse to the rails = 5% of the weight of crab and weight lifted =
0.05 × 340 = 17 kN
Factored lateral force = 1.5 × 17 = 25.5 kN
Lateral force on each wheel = 12.75 kN
