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.

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.!

The principal function of a bridge deck is to provide
support to local vertical loads (from highway traffic,
railway or pedestrians) and transmit these loads to the
primary super-structure of the bridge.

Bridge expansion joints (or movement joints) are designed to
enable continuous traffic between two structures and are
necessary to accommodate structural movements due to creep
and shrinkage effects, temperature variations or deformations.

stressed concrete, composite and steel structures, and particularly
for bridge decks.
Bridge expansion joints are also designed to allow sufficient

The approach slab which is usually provided on either side of
bridge, function as an interface between the bridge structure and
approach roadway .
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 .

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.

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.
