Aim – Foundation is the main support of any structure, which transmits loads to earth. In case of bridge the structure faces many challenges and finally it goes to earth through its foundation. So foundation is the important part of a bridge and it should be designed properly. Pile foundation is very common foundation…

Aim – Foundation is the main support of any structure, which transmits loads to earth. In case of bridge the structure faces many challenges and finally it goes to earth through its foundation. So foundation is the important part of a bridge and it should be designed properly. Well foundation is for most critical…

Ultimate aim is to create a safe sound strong sustainable bridge. In this challenge superstructure has been planned and fixed of 28m span (bearing to bearing). Substructure has two options, one is abutment having earth fill and another is having RE wall. Aim is to design Pile whose vertical capacity and horizontal capacity…

Aim - Ultimate aim is to construct feasible strong durable bridge. Foundation has vital role as it carries all the loads and transfers to earth. Well foundation is the last choice, for critical situation. So it is necessary to go through all the checks as per IRC. Cater all the load combination of ultimate limit…

Aim – Aim is to assess feasibility of proposed bridge in a river with known water velocity, discharge, HFL (Highest flood level), FRL (Finished road level) and linear waterway. Aim is to fix economic suitable span arrangement. Aim is to choose type of foundation and design with known pile capacity (1.2m dia 250tonne…

Aim - For to design a safe capable foundation of bridge it is verry necessary to know the loads on group of pile. And in this challange we have to calculate loads as per IRC 6 for given bridge drawing.  A pile bridge foundation is a structure that uses long poles (referred to as piles), which are made of wood,…

Aim is to fix a foundation which can reinforce the soil, and also carry the applied load down to deeper, stronger soil strata. Introduction - As with other types of foundations, the purpose of pile foundations is: to transmit a foundation load to a solid ground to resist vertical, lateral and uplift load Pile foundations…

Aim - Bridge pier is a type of structure that extend to the ground below or into the water. It is used to support bridge superstructure and transfer the loads to the foundation. The bridge piers should be constructed to be substantially attractive and strong in order to withstand both vertical and horizontal loads. It…

Aim and intriduction -  Foundation is the component of bridge which accepts the external or internal forces / loads coming through substructure and superstructure and spreads the forces / loads uniformly to the earth. It also guarantees stability of whole structure as well as self protection from scour. So…

 Hydrology and Geo technical studies gives data to design a safe bridge structure. The aim is to figure out no of span and length of span by evaluating linear waterway from discharge, velocity, different sections of river, catchment area and soil property. To decide foundation depth of abutment, pier and its protection…

The structure upon which the ends of a bridge rest is referred to as an abutment. It transfers loads of superstructure and itself to ground. Abutment also retains lateral earth pressure. Overturning, sliding and settlement cause failure of abutment, and further stability of bridge. In shallow foundation it occupies sufficient…

Certainly the bridge will be constructed in sea shore where it has to face water current force, wave force and Barge impact load. Also the bridge alignment is in curve, so centrifugal force is inevitable. The project region is snowy and tempreture difference is greater than 20. Aim is to design a safe bridge considering…

It also guarantees stability of whole structure as well as self protection from scour.  So bridge designer’s prime aim is to design…

Sorry  

Barge impact Load: Barge are moving in sea, an accident with bridges nearby is unavoidable. The impact of strike on bridge superstructure and substructure is severe. The weight of Barge and its speed gives impact load. Barge impact loads can't be ignored likely in sea shore. Obviously the aim is to assess the extent…

Tempreture load The tempreture difference in bridge level offers restraint for expansion or contraction to bridge. Thus load produced due to restraint is known as tempreture load. Challange Here a RC bridge to be constructed in Delhi. As per IRC 6 2017 Maximum tempreture is 47.8 and minimum is - 0.4 degree C in Delhi C.H.O.…

Waves also distress bridge sub structure and superstructure. Outer forces typically disturbs water, causes forming of wave. Earthquake, Wind and other substance present in water unstable water surfaces. Waves have great power. Wave acts in two direction, causing two types of load, one is uplifting and other is dragging.…

When a bridge is located in snowy region, besides carrying traffic, it have to tackle snow loads. So alongwith vehicular loads and other loads, snow loads is also being considered for design purpose. The bridge shown in this challange is facing load of 1250mm setteled snow. Shape is flat ( Bita < 30 degree ) Bridge…

When a bridge is curved align, vehicle passing through it have to face outward pushhing force. This force acts or exerts loads on the structural element of the bridge. This particular force is known as centrifugal force. In this problem a 70R tracked vehicle with a designed speed of 75km/hour is moving. Bridge curvature…

Bridge structures are likely to be in river, canal or stream where it have to face water current load. While designing bridge, we can't ignore this important load and it's consequences (Bending moment, shear force etc). In this job the pier is in water and flood level is 2m above foundation level. Mean velocity of the…

Metro rail projects are necessary for metro cities. Its a only way to cope up with traffic jam and fastest comunication. Here is a part of Ahmadabad metro rail project. Architectural drawings of Kankariya East station has been drawn. Before detailed drawing design is must for safety purpose. Data for design should be collected…

Utility loads are also important load for bridges. Bridge carries many utilities besides traffic, like electric lamp post, Sign boards, Pipes carrying gas or water etc. Thus, utility load should also be considered with vehicular load. Utility loads are point load. Here a bridge of 24m span over Narmada river carries two…
