Abstract:

The bridging activity is as old as human civilization. Innumerable bridges of various kinds and of various materials have been built from times immemorial. Design of medium span highway bridge system requires careful selection of structural element in preliminary stage. The motive behind present study is to prepare some useful interface for preliminary design of bridge system. There is no unique form of design which would be always most economical. It is only by comparing a few designs that the economic design can be found in a particular set of conditions. Economy can be achieved by separately or simultaneously considering one or more of the following factors: span, superstructure cross section, cost of prestressing steel and concrete consumption. The present study includes parametric study on prestressed concrete girder bridge superstructure.
