Bridge Structures Syllabus for B.Tech 8th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Bridge Structures B.Tech (R13) eightsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To make the student to know about various bridge structures, selection of appropriate bridge structures and design it for given site conditions.
UNIT I : INTRODUCTION [9 hours]
History of Bridges – Components of a Bridge and its definitions- Classification of Road Bridges – Selection of Site and Initial Decision Process – Survey and Alignment; Geotechnical Investigations and Interpretations. River Bridge: Selection of Bridge site and planning – Collection of Bridge design data – Hydrological calculation Road Bridges – IRC codes – Standard Loading for Bridge Design – Influence lines for statically determinate structures – I.L. for statically indeterminate structures – Transverse distribution of Live loads among deck longitudinal – Load combinations for different working state and limit state
designs Railway Bridges: Loadings for Railway Bridges; Railroad data. Pre-design considerations; – Railroad vs. Highway bridges.
UNIT II : SUPERSTRUCTURES [9 hours]
Selection of main bridge parameters, design methodologies -Choices of superstructure types; Orthotropic plate theory, load + techniques – Grillage analysis – Finite element analysis – Different types of superstructure (RCC and PSC); Longitudinal Analysis of Bridge.- Transverse Analysis of Bridge Temperature Analysis-Distortional Analysis-Effects of Differential settlement of supports- Reinforced earth structures
UNIT III : DESIGN OF STEEL BRIDGES [9 hours]
Design of Truss Bridges – Design of Plate girder bridges.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
- To develop an understanding of an appreciation for basic concepts in proportioning and design of bridges in terms of aesthetics, geographical location and functionality.
- To help the student develop an intuitive feeling about the sizing of bridge elements, ie., develop a clear understanding of conceptual design
- To understand the load flow mechanism and identify loads on bridges.
- To carry out a design of bridge starting from conceptual design, selecting suitable bridge, geometry to sizing of its elements.
