OBJECTIVE:
• To make the student to know about various bridge structures, selection of appropriate bridge structures and its design for given site conditions.

UNIT I

INTRODUCTION               

9

History of bridges - Components of a bridge - Classification of road bridges - Selection of site and initial decision process - Survey and alignment; Geotechnical investigations and interpretations. River Bridge: Selection of Bridge site and planning - Collection of bridge design data - Hydrological calculation Road Bridges - IRC codes - Standard Loading for Bridge Design - Influence lines for statically determinate and indeterminate structures - Transverse distribution of Live loads among deck longitudinal - Load combinations for different working state and limit state designs Railway Bridges: Loadings for Railway Bridges; Railroad data. Pre-design considerations - Railroad vs. Highway bridges.

UNIT II

SUPERSTRUCTURES               

9

Bridge decks – Structural forms and behaviour – Choices of superstructure types – Behaviour and modeling of bridge decks – Simple beam model – Plate model – Grillage method – Finite Element method - Different types of superstructure (RCC and PSC); Longitudinal Analysis of Bridge.- Transverse Analysis of Bridge - Temperature Analysis - Distortional Analysis - Effects of Differential settlement of supports - Reinforced earth structures


UNIT III

DESIGN OF STEEL BRIDGES      

9

Design of Truss Bridges – Design of Plate girder bridges.

UNIT IV

DESIGN OF RC AND PSC BRIDGES

9

Design of slab bridges – T beam bridges – PSC bridges

UNIT V

SUBSTRUCTURE, BEARINGS AND EXPANSION JOINTS, PARAPETS AND RAILINGS

9

Substructure - Pier; Abutment - Wing walls- Importance of Soil-Structure Interaction - Types of foundations - Open foundation- Pile foundation- Well foundation- Simply supported bridge- Continuous Bridge - Bearings and Expansion Joints - Different types of bridge bearings and expansion joints - Parapets and Railings for Highway Bridges

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
• Identify loads on bridges and selection of type of bridge for the site condition
• Analyze the super structure by various methods.
• Design the trussed bridge and plate girder bridges
• Design reinforced concrete slab and T beam bridges and prestressed concrete bridges
• Decide the appropriate sub structural systems , bearings and expansion joints for the bridges.
