Well cap has been designed as a plate supported at the boundary by steining and subjected to vertical loads &
o
moments through the substructure .The load is considered after 45 dispersion through the depth of the slab, upon
the effective depth. Since the vertical load after dispersion practically covers the entire dredge hole area, the load is
considered as UDL and bending moments calculated accordingly.
50% of the sagging moment at the centre of well cap is considered at support to account for partial fixidity of the
well cap with the steining. Effect of moment is considered by considering an equivalent triangular distribution of
load for shear force. For the moment , effect has been taken as per " Formula for stress & strain " by R.F. Roark &
Young.
