Abstract Pre-stressed concrete bridge analysis is completely dependent on the standards and design criteria. Herein, the current study compares like a pre-stressed concrete bridge under the effect of two different loading standards and specifications. The two different loading standards considered herein are IRC 6: 2000 and AASHTO-LRFD standards. Further, the pre-stressed box girder bridge is modelled and analysis in MIDAS CIVIL. On carrying out analysis, the primary structural analysis parameters which are important for the design of structure, are studied. These parameters are shear force, bending moment and torsion in the bridge elements along its length. It became observed that AASHTO standards are uneconomical than IRC standards, due to consideration of heavy weight vehicle load moving on the bridge span. Thus, it might be said that pre-stressed box girder bridge analysis and design should be carried out effectively and optimistically using IRC standards and specifications.

A bridge is a combination of substructure and superstructure that is built over a river, road, or railway to allow people and vehicles to cross from one side to the other. This paper describes about the analysis and design of box girder balanced cantilever bridge using MIDAS CIVIL by IRC loadings, characterized by central span of 130m with two symmetrical sides of 85m.Bridge deck is supported by two piers of 40m height from ground level. The bridge structure has been modelled using MIDAS CIVIL and analysis has been performed to get various output such as bending moment, shear force and time dependent properties such as creep and shrinkage at various points of the bridge. The PSC (prestressed) design of superstructure is performed as per IRC standards to get the output parameters such as principle stresses at construction stage, principle stress for prestressing tendon. While by using balanced cantilever bridge less form work has been required for this type of bridge.

Bridge is the structure which is used for carrying the traffic over the valley or river by connecting highways or railways. There are types of bridges which are T-beam bridges and box girder bridges where the T-beams are effective in resisting bending providing ductility to the bridges. While box girders gives high torsional stiffness providing ductility, stability and also aesthetics. Different codes with varying design philosophy are used for designing these bridges such as IRC:21-2000 and IRC:112-2011. Hence the purpose of this paper is to compare the results of analysis and design of different papers performed using these codes for both the types of bridges i.e. T-beam and box girder bridge. Various researchers studies are available on the design and analysis of T-beam bridge and box girder bridge using IRC:112-2011 and IRC:21-2000. The purpose of this study is to determine the most economical and preferable design code for both T-beam bridges and box girder bridges.

A concrete bridge, recently completed in Calgary, Alberta crosses the Bow River and passes over heavy traffic intersections at Memorial Drive and Edmonton Trail. The method of construction used required little scaffolding to support the forms and allowed smooth flow of traffic during the construction stages.In this paper the method of construction is described, some design considerations are discussed, and cost comparisons are made with designs for alternative methods of construction.

In the present paper, based on the three-dimensional finite element analysis for a three-span continuous PC box girder bridge with corrugated steel webs and the corresponding conventional box girder bridge with concrete webs, a comparative study on the shear lag effect under self-weight is carryied out together with the analyslis on the coefficient of the effective flange width. The results show that At the sections in the negative bending moment near the intermediate piers, the shear lag effect in the bridge with corrugated steel webs is more obvious than that in the bridge with concrete webs by 8%; and the corresponding effective flange width coefficient in the bridge with corrugated steel webs is even smaller than 0.9, so the shear lag effect at these sections should be considered in the design of this type of bridges. At the mid-span section of the middle span of a three-span continuous bridge either with corrugated steel webs or concrete webs, the shear lag effect can be omitted since the corresponding effective flange width coefficient there is close to 1.0.

Combined with the practical design of a prestressed concrete continuous box-girder bridge with changed sections, the effect of side-web slope on the loading properties of this bridge was analyzed. The numerical modes of this bridge were built using the specialist FEM software, 5 side-web slopes were considered by changing the width of box floor. The results show that the changes of side-web slope influence the mid-span deflection of box-girder in a small range under vehicle load, but affect obviously on the transversal loading properties such as crack width and flexural resistance of the box roof. Based on this, the suitable side-web slope is selected. It may be referenced by the similar design of this kind of bridges.
