Comparative Study of PSC Box Girder Multi Cell (3-Cell) Bridge of Different Shapes : A Review Paper

A bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. The required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline. Now a days, bridge deck section of Box shapes are used widely. Most of the bridges constructed are of Box girders. Method of post-tensioning in the construction of bridges is very common today. Most of the bridges are of prestressed types (mostly post-tensioned). In this work, an attempt was made to comparative study the different shapes of PSC Box Girder Multi Cell Bridge using CSI Bridge (V-2017). Loading of IRC Class-A is applied and analysis is done using IRC 112 (2011). KeywordsBox Girder, Prestressed, CSI Bridge (V-2107), Post-tensioned Bridge, IRC-112(2011), IRC Class-A Loading
