Composite Bridge Design Tutorial in BS Eurocode2 with ASTRA Pro

Composite Bridges with RCC Deck Slab and Steel Plate or Box Girders is designed with Shear Connectors etc. with step wise detail design calculation report and editable structural detail drawing on British Eurocode 2 & IRC 112. For Trucks heavily loaded with stone aggregates, sand, marble slabs, cement bags, steel members etc. when negotiates curve the centrifugal force is very high. If the transverse force is considered same as straight bridge, by ignoring the effect of centrifugal force then the design of the Bridge and Bearing is incorrect resulting fall of the curved span. The essential considerations in this design are: • Modelling of the bridge as a curved super-structure with three span continuous structure • Applying transverse force at support nodes with correctly selected POT/PTFE Bearings obtained from the X and Z direction components of the centrifugal force. • Construction drawings for Composite Road Bridge with Steel Box Girder and RCC Deck Slab
