Most of the short span bridges in India are constructed as per the design details of standard plans by Ministry of Surface transport, Govt. Three stages are defined to model the bridge during construction. Details of the construction stages are shown below: Table 1. The complete design details for RCC slab and T-beam bridges (volume II) are available for the span ranging from 10 m to 24 m. The design details are established on the basis of working stress method as per code IRC 21: 1987. Provisions of IRC-6:1985 for seismic loading has also been incorporated in the design details. At present, working stress method of design of RC Road bridges has been outdated and IRC 112: 2011 code is in use. The study is about, to check the suitability of standard design drawings for spans varying from 10 m to 24 m based on limit state guidelines. design details are checked for the suitability at all seismic zones.
MIDAS Civil (2019) software has been adopted to conduct this study. Moving load case in midas civil 2011 software# Moving load case in midas civil 2011 software#.
