Loads:

Taking a unit strip of each element

-Self weight ;
-Top slab
Sf(kN/m) = dc. t . b
= 24 0.2 1
= 4.800

-Bottom slab
Sf(kN/m) = dc. t . b
= 24 0.4 1
= 9.600

where by
dc- density of concrete
t - slab thicknes
b - width of the slab
-Earth's pressure;
-Vertical earth pressure, Pv;
Pv(kN/m2) = ds . h
= 18 2.7
= 48.600
where by
ds - dry density of the soil
h - height of the buried chamber.

Coefficient of active earth's pressure, Ka =1/3 For the angle of internal friction=300.

-Horizontal earth pressure, Ph;

Ph(kN/m2) = Pv. Ka
= 48.6 0.33
= 16.038
The average horizontal pressure is Pha;
Ph
Pha(kN/m) =
2
16.2
=
2
= 8.100
Now loading due to horizontal pressure, w;
w(kN/m) = Pha. h1
= 8.1 1
= 8.100
-Surcharge;
Due to passage of heavy vehicles the surchsrge is taken as Pv= 5kN/m acting on vertical walls.

Ph(kN/m) = Ka. Pv
= 0.33 5
= 1.650

-Traffic load;
Due to passage of traffic on the top slab the load acting is taken as = 10kN/m
