FDOT Standard Plans Index 400-010: Cantilever Retaining Wall (C - I - P)

Short answer

Index 400-010 is the FDOT Standard Plan for Cantilever Retaining Wall (C - I - P), part of Series 400 (Structures). The sections below are extracted from FDOT's Standard Plans Instructions (SPI) for this index — design criteria, assumptions and limitations, and what your plans must show.

Design Criteria

Design Criteria AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications ; Structures Design Guidelines ( SDG ) , FDOT Design Manual ( FDM )

Design Assumptions and Limitations

Design Assumptions and Limitations Use this standard with Indexes in the 521 - 600 Series as appropriate. The Retaining Wall Standard Drawings consist of Standard Plans Index 400 - 010 and companion Data Tables located in the FDOT Structures Bar Menu as MicroStation CADD cells. These Standard Plan Indexes are intended to work in conjunction with each other and the LRFD Retaining Wall Program, developed by the Structures Design Office.

Design assumptions used in the development of the Standard Drawings may be found in ‘Retaining Wall Notes’ within the Program. Indexes and Program are intended for C - I - P cantilever retaining walls only, not abutments. At a minimum the EOR should consider t he applicability of the following: overall stability, settlement and seismic loading.

The Engineer of Record (EOR) shall be responsible for the Retaining Wall Design in its entirety. The EOR should complete and/or alter the Index drawings to suit the particular design. The EOR should consider the appropriateness of the use of the Standard a nd Program if the particulars of the design conflict significantly with the assumptions used in the development of the Standards.

These Indexes are intended to work in conjunction with Retaining Wall Control Drawings located within the Plans. The Control Drawings should define geometrics, locations and other specifics of the Retaining Wall such that when used in conju n ction with the Index, the Contractor has sufficient information for construction. Standard Plan s Instructions Topic No.

What your plans must show

Plan Content Requirements for this index — the SPI's checklist for designers.

  • Prepare and include in the plans all Wall Control Drawings and related drawings as specified in SDM Chapter 19 and FDM
  • 262. The Prog r am outpu ts five text files:
  • – use data to calculate concrete and reinforcing steel quantities. Text files for lines 1
  • - 4 correspond sequentially to the four Retaining Wall Data tables contained in the companion Data Tables for Index 400
  • 010. Complete these data tables using the four test files and include the Data Tables in the plans. The test files can be inserted into the tables by using the ‘Include’ Key
  • - In Utility in MicroStation at the active points in each table. True Type Font, ‘FDOT Mono’ must be used to align inserted test with table columns. Complete and add/modify/delete the Retaining Wall Data Table Notes as necessary. If enhanced aesthetics are required, include drawing or reference a texture from Index 5 34
