1. OVERVIEW

As an alternative of current proposal of separate pump shaft and screen shaft a different
approach is considered in this report for having a single unit comprising of pump shaft and
screen shaft together.

2. DETAILS OF THE STRUCTURE

Pump shaft and screen shaft of following specifications are proposed while considering the
current proposal of constructing both as a single unit keeping the sewage capacity same.

a. Pump shaft

Inner shaft diameter: 20m

Outer shaft diameter: 50m

Invert level of the shaft: -55.375m

Ground level of the shaft: +10.4m

4. PROTECTION OF CONCRETE

The 50mm thick concrete is increased to absorb all the aggressive chemicals as a sacrificial
outer layer as per BRE special digest-1:2005 Assessing the aggressive chemical
environment-part c (D6.5 provide sacrificial layer) . The quality of this additional concrete
should be equal to or higher than that of the inner concrete This extra thickness of concrete
should be treated as additional to the specified nominal cover, where concrete is cast
directly against the earth and the specified nominal cover is greater or equal to 75 mm in
accordance with Clause 3.3.1.4 of BS 8110-1:1997. The additional thickness will be ignored
for the purpose of crack width calculation.

5. DESIGN CRITERIA:

+10.50m

-55.375m

a. Uplift Pressure:

Verification for uplift (UPL) shall be carried out by checking that the design value of the
combination of destabilising permanent and variable vertical actions (Vdst,d) is less than or
equal to the sum of the design value of the stabilising permanent vertical actions (Gstb;d) and
of the design value of any additional resistance to uplift (Rd)

The partial factors for Gstb;d , Gdtb;d and Rd for persistent defined in below

Vdst,d <= Gstb;d +Rd

Vdst,d:design value of the destabilising vertical action on a structure.

Gstb;d:design value of the stabilising permanent vertical actions for uplift.

Rd :design value of the resistance to an action.

b. Partial factors for uplift:

For uplift calculations the following partial factors on actions (ƔF) shall be applied: -

ƔG dst destabilising unfavourable permanent actions;

ƔG;stb on stabilising favourable permanent actions;
