ANALYSIS OF T – BEAM BRIDGE DECK SLAB

Generally, structures are subjected to two types of load: static and dynamic. However, the majority of civil engineering structures are designed with the assumption that all applied loads are static. The effect of dynamic load is not considered because the structure is rarely subjected to dynamic loads; more so, its consideration in analysis makes the solution more complicated and time consuming. This feature of neglecting the dynamic forces may sometimes become the causes of disaster, particularly in the case of earthquake. Therefore it is proposed to do “dynamic analysis of bridge deck†for various span of bridge by varying number of longitudinal girders. The detailed study is carried out for “T-Beam Bridgeâ€, for various span 16m, 20m, 24m and 28m under IRC class AA loading condition
