Detailed design and modelling of a motorable prestressed concrete bridge

Abstract

The main aim of the project is to analyze, design and model an optimized structural design of a motorable prestressed bridge. The design and analysis strictly adhere to the Indian Standard and Nepal Standard codes to ensure compliance with established standards. The bridge is designed to meet site-specific requirements, including seismic and hydrological considerations. Given Nepal�s unique seismicity and topographical conditions, the report incorporates site-specific considerations to enhance structural resilience and long-term durability. Different loading scenarios, including static, dynamic, and vehicular loads, thereby facilitating a comprehensive assessment of stress distribution, deflection behavior, and overall structural performance were considered. The project concludes with a validated prestressed bridge design. The final output of the project is objected in the form of detailed drawings.
