CORNER REINFORCEMENT PUNTUAL LOAD - BIBLIOGRAPHY

[lpz31415]

Hi all!

Lastly I've been dealing with some sand jacks placed near the border of the pier cap of a bridge. (Ø20cm, 20cm from axis to border of the pier cap)
I've been required to justify if it's neccesary to provide an specific reinforcement due to this temporary load. ¿Do you know where I can find specific bibliography about this issue?

That's a little too close to the edge, for my liking. Can you move the load location? That's 80 tonnes (40K) 8" from the edge, to confirm?

Not possible, there is not enought space. The point is to precribe corner guards or not

If tension cone of the sand jack is into the reinforcement area (pier cap has Ø16mm (#5 rebar)distributed@15cm).

Thank you in advance!

80 tonnes = 80,000 kg = 176 kips

My error... I converted it and then converted it (176/4.448) even worse load... not good.

I've changed the construction sequence reducing the load to 20tons.
It looks better, but I would like to know if this isssue is covered in ACI codes. ¿Do you have information about that?

Thank you in advance!
