Bridge Engineering 1 1

This document provides an overview of bridge design and engineering. It defines what a bridge is and some common uses of bridges such as for walkways, highways, railways, and crossing bodies of water. It then describes different types of bridges based on their function, materials of construction, superstructure type, span relation, and length. Specific bridge types discussed in more detail include arch, truss, cantilever, cable-stayed, and suspension bridges. The document also outlines the key components of bridges, relevant design codes, the structural design process, and how to determine loads on bridges.

What is Bridge?
What is Bridge?
A Bridge is a structure which
allows us, cattle, vehicles,
trains, pipelines etc. to cross
water body, road & railway
track etc. smoothly.
Some Uses of Bridges
 Walkways
 Highways/Roads
 Railways
 Pipelines
 Connecting lands
 Crossing canals,
rivers and canyons
Types of Bridge
 (1) As per function of Bridge:

(a) Aqueduct (Canal over a river) Bridge,


(b) Viaduct (road or railway over valley) Bridge,
(c) Pedestrian Bridge,
(d) Highways Bridge,
(e) Railway Bridge,
(f) Road cum rail Bridge,
(g) Pipeline Bridge.

(b) Continuous Span Bridge,
(c) Cantilever Span Bridge

 (5) As per deck top level of Bridge w.r.t. H.F.L.:

(a) High Level Bridge,


(b) Submersible Bridge,
Types of Bridge
 (6) As per length of Bridge : (Ref IRC 5:1998)

(a) Culvert (Length less than 6m),


(b) Minor Bridge (Length 6 to 60m),
(a) Major Bridge (Length more than 60m)
See the Types of Bridges
 Arch

 Truss

 Cantilever

 Cable-Stayed

 Suspension
What makes a bridge stay up?
 Forces
 Compression – a
pushing or squeezing
force
 Tension – a pulling or
stretching force

 Demonstration
 Make groups of two…
Arch Bridges
 Keystone – the wedge-
shaped stone of an
arch that locks its
parts together
 Abutments – the
structures that
support the ends of
the bridge
Arch Bridges
 Works by
Compression
Arch Bridges
 Examples of Arch bridges
Arch Bridge - Cold Spring Arch Bridge,
Santa Barbara, USA
Marsh Rainbow Arch, USA
Pont du Gard, Nimes, France
Cable-Stayed Bridges
 Piers – the vertical supporting structures
 Cables – thick steel ropes from which the
decking is suspended
 Decking – the supported roadway on a bridge
Cable-Stayed Bridges
 Works by Tension AND Compression
Cable-Stayed Bridges

 Examples of Cable Stayed bridges


Zakim Bridge, Boston
Sunshine Skyway Bridge, USA
Sundial Bridge, Redding, USA
Suspension Bridges
 Similar to Cable-Stayed
 Different construction method
Suspension Bridges
 Works by Tension and Compression
Suspension Bridges
 Examples of Suspension bridges:
Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn, NY
Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, New York
Other Types
