Bridge Components

The document provides a comprehensive overview of bridge structures, detailing various types based on materials, alignment, location, function, and other classifications. It discusses essential components of bridges, including super-structure and sub-structure elements such as decks, girders, bearings, and abutments. Additionally, it highlights the importance of foundation design, taking into account structural, hydraulic, and geotechnical considerations.

Ets’ comms A bridge is a structure (having a total length of above 6.0m) providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. The required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline. The obstacle to be crossed may be a river, a road, railway or a valley. | EES C.! “ BASED ON MATERIAL:- TIMBER BRIDGE , STONE BRIDGE , RCC BRIDGE, STEEL ee COMPOSITE BRIDGE, PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BRIDGE ETC. + AS PER ALIGNMENT :- STRAIGHT BRIDGE & SKEW BRIDGE * AS PER LOCATION OF BRIDGE FLOORING :- DECK BRIDGE, THROUGH BRIDGE & SEMI-THROUGH BRIDGE + BASED ON FUNCTION ;- RIVER BRIDGE/BRIDGE OVER STREAM, FLYOVER, VAIDUCT, GRADE SEPARATOR, RAILWAY BRIDGES (ROB & RUB), FOOT OVER BRIDGE (FOB), SUBWAY, UNDERPASS, OVERPASS ETC. “+ BASED ON H.E.L :- SUBMERSIBLE BRIDGE & NON-SUBMERSIBLE BRIDGE + BASED ON SUPER-STRUCTURE:- SLAB (SOLID/ VOIDED) , GIRDERS (BOX, I, T & etc), ARCH, SINGLE/MULISPAN BOX, SUSPENSION, CABLE-STAYED, EXTRA-DOSE D, TRUSS .

The slab serves to minimize bumps to traffic and the resulting impact to abutment due to potential differential settlement between the approach embankment and the the abutment . APPROACH SLAB T2 Cae CIV Bridge bearings are structural equipment or devices installed between bridge substructure and superstructure. Bridge bearing carries the loads or movement in both vertical and horizontal directions from the bridge superstructure and transfers those loads to the bridge piers and abutments. The loads can be live load and dead toad in vertical directions, or wind load, earthquake load, etc., in horizontal directions. = a a a a : 6 si AN ase ?; 4 Abutment is a sub-structure component of bridge which support the end of a super-structure of bridge and retains part or whole of the bridge approach fills.
