Abstract

Bridges are essential elements of modern transportation systems, providing efficient and effective links between different regions and contributing significantly to economic, social, and cultural development. As the population continues to grow and vehicle usage increases, the number of modern road and bridge construction projects in India is escalating. To alleviate traffic congestion, composite bridges are increasingly being adopted on a large scale for highway construction. The current study focuses on the analysis and design of a Composite Single Span PSC-I Girder Bridge under IRC loadings using MIDAS CIVIL Software. The analysis aimed to derive various results including bending moment, shear force, and time-dependent characteristics such as creep and shrinkage. The moving load consideration is as per IRC:6-2017 and compressive strength are defined as per IRC 112:2011. During the construction phase, the PSC (prestressed) design of the span is executed following IRC standards to acquire output parameters such as principal stresses for prestressing tendon.
