SOLID SLAB FOR THREE LANE BRIDGE BY USING IRC CODAL PROVISION

Abstract: - The basic function of T Beam Bridge and solid slab superstructure is to allow uninterrupted
smooth opening of rush-hour traffic over it and to transfer the all total load and forces coming from
superstructure to the substructure by using of bearings. Normal span like 15m RCC T-Beam and solid
slab widely used cast and construction is very easy as compared to the prestressed concrete structure.
The solid slab and RCC T beam is generally designed for either by using IRC 6:2017 (Loads and load
combinations –Seventh edition). The main objective of study is to analyse super structure for IRC Class
A loading and IRC Class70R wheeled and tracked loading to evaluate the values of bending moment,
shear force and deflection for span 15.0 m RCC Girder and solid slab.

Empirical formulae is used for structural analysis, sometimes some structure or part of structure is
very convoluted and analysis of modelling is resorted to. Structural analysis can be accomplished by
using analytical techniques, staad pro software. Staad pro software is used for actual analysis of
structure for time consume and even preparing input data for different load cases. Solid slab bridges
are habitually used for small spans, slab required more concrete and steel than RCC Girder Bridge but
construction of solid slab is lower than the RCC Girder Bridge and formwork is very simple and less
expansive.
