ST7006 DESIGN OF BRIDGES L T P C 3 0 0 3

OBJECTIVES:

 To study the loads, forces on bridges and design of several types of bridges.

UNIT I SHORT SPAN RC BRIDGES 9 

Types of bridges and loading standards - Choice of type - I.R.C. specifications for road bridges – Design of RCC solid slab bridges -analysis and design of slab culverts , Tee beam and slab bridges. 

UNIT II Design principles of LONG SPAN RC BRIDGES 9 

continuous girder bridges, box girder bridges, balanced cantilever bridges – Arch bridges – Box culverts. 

UNIT III PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BRIDGES 9 

Flexural and torsional parameters – Courbon’s theory – Distribution co-efficient by exact analysis – Design of girder section – maximum and minimum prestressing forces – Eccentricity – Live load and dead load shear forces – Cable Zone in girder – check for stresses at various sections – check for diagonal tension – Diaphragms – End block – short term and long term deflections. 

UNIT IV STEEL BRIDGES 9 

General – Railway loadings – dynamic effect – Railway culvert with steel beams – Plate girder bridges – Box girder bridges – Truss bridges – Vertical and Horizontal stiffeners. 

UNIT V BEARINGS AND SUBSTRUCTURES 9 

Different types of bearings – Design of bearings – Design of piers and abutments of different types – Types of bridge foundations – Design of foundations. 
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS 

OUTCOME:

 At the end of this course students will be able to design different types of RCC bridges, Steel bridges and pre-stressed concrete bridges with the bearings and substructures.
