INTRODUCTION Prestress concrete is ideally suited for the construction of medium and long span bridges. Ever since the development of prestressed concrete by Freyssinet in the early 1930s, the material has found extensive application in the construction of longspan bridges, gradually replacing steel which needs costly maintenance due to the inherent disadvantage of corrosion under aggressive environment conditions. One of the most commonly used forms of superstructure in concrete bridges is precast girders with castinsitu slab. This type of superstructure is generally used for spans between 20 to 40 m. T or Igirder bridges are the most common example under this category and are very popular because of their simple geometry, low fabrication cost, easy erection or casting and smaller dead loads. In this paper study the India Road Loading considered for design of bridges, also factor which are important to decide the preliminary sizes of concrete box girders. Also considered the IRC:182000 for “Prestressed Concrete Road Bridges” and “Code of Practice for Prestressed Concrete ” Indian Standard. Analyze the Concrete Box Girder Road Bridges for various spans, various depth and check the proportioning depth. II. FORMULATION A. Loading on Box Girder Bridge The various type of loads, forces and stresses to be considered in the analysis and design of the various components of the bridge are given in IRC 6:2000(Section II. But the common forces are considered to design the model are as follows: Dead Load(DL): The dead load carried by the girder or the member consists of its own weight and the portions of the weight of the superstructure and any fixed loads supported by the member. The dead load can be estimated fairly accurately during design and can be controlled during construction and service. Superimposed Dead Load (SIDL): The weight of superimposed dead load includes footpaths, earthfills, wearing course, stayin place forms, ballast, waterproofing, signs, architectural ornamentation, pipes, conduits, cables and any other immovable appurtenances installed on the structure. Live Load(LL): Live loads are those caused by vehicles which pass over the bridge and are transient in nature. These loads cannot be estimated precisely, and the designer has very little control over them once the bridge is opened to traffic. However, hypothetical loadings which are reasonably realistic need to be evolved and specified to serve as design criteria. There are four types of standard loadings for which road bridges are designed. i. IRC Class 70R loading ii. IRC Class AA loading iii. IRC Class A loading iv. IRC Class B loading The model is design by considering IRC Class A loading, which is normally adopted on all roads on which permanent bridges and culverts are constructed. Total load is 554, the Fig.1 show the complete details of Class A.

I. INTRODUCTION Prestress concrete is ideally suited for the construction of medium and long span bridges. Ever since the development of prestressed concrete byFreyssinet in the early 1930s, the material has found extensive application in the construction of long­span bridges, gradually replacing steel which needscostly maintenance due to the inherent disadvantage of corrosion under aggressive environment conditions. One of the most commonly used forms ofsuperstructure in concrete bridges is precast girders with cast­in­situ slab. This type of superstructure is generally used for spans between 20 to 40 m. Tor I­girder bridges are the most common example under this category and are very popular because of their simple geometry, low fabrication cost, easyerection or casting and smaller dead loads. In this paper study the India Road Loading considered for design of bridges, also factor which are importantto decide the preliminary sizes of concrete box girders. Also considered the IRC:18­2000 for “Prestressed Concrete Road Bridges” and “Code of Practicefor Prestressed Concrete ” Indian Standard. Analyze the Concrete Box Girder Road Bridges for various spans, various depth and check the proportioningdepth.

II. FORMULATIONA. Loading on Box Girder Bridge  The various type of loads, forces and stresses to be considered in the analysis and design of the various components of the bridge are given in IRC6:2000(Section II. But the common forces are considered to design the model are as follows:

Dead Load(DL): The dead load carried by the girder or the member consists of its own weight and the portions of the weight of the superstructure andany fixed loads supported by the member. The dead load can be estimated fairly accurately during design and can be controlled during construction andservice.

Superimposed Dead Load (SIDL): The weight of superimposed dead load includes footpaths, earth­fills, wearing course, stay­in ­place forms, ballast,water­proofing, signs, architectural ornamentation, pipes, conduits, cables and any other immovable appurtenances installed on the structure.

Live Load(LL): Live loads are those caused by vehicles which pass over the bridge and are transient in nature. These loads cannot be estimated precisely,and the designer has very little control over them once the bridge is opened to traffic. However, hypothetical loadings which are reasonably realistic needto be evolved and specified to serve as design criteria. There are four types of standard loadings for which road bridges are designed. i. IRC Class 70R loading ii. IRC Class AA loading iii. IRC Class A loading iv. IRC Class B loading

The model is design by considering IRC Class A loading, which is normally adopted on all roads on which permanent bridges and culverts areconstructed. Total load is 554, the Fig.1 show the complete details of Class A.

B. Thickness of Web The thickness of the web shall not be less than d/36 plus twice the clear cover to the reinforcement plus diameter of the duct hole where‘d’ is the overalldepth of the box girder measured from the top of the deck slab to the bottom of the soffit or 200 mm plus the diameter of duct holes, whichever isgreater.

C. Thickness of Bottom Flange The thickness of the bottom flange of box girder shall be not less than 1/20th of the clear web spacing at the junction with bottom flange or 200 mmwhichever is more.

D. Thickness of Top Flange The minimum thickness of the deck slab including that at cantilever tips be 200 mm. For top and bottom flange having prestressing cables, the thicknessof such flange shall not be less than 150 mm plus diameter of duct hole.

E. Losses in Prestress While assessing the stresses in concrete and steel during tensioning operations and later in service, due regard shall be paid to all losses and variations instress resulting from creep of concrete, shrinkage of concrete, relaxation of steel, the shortening (elastic deformation) of concrete at transfer, and frictionand slip of anchorage.

In computing the losses in prestress when untensioned reinforcement is present, the effect of the tensile stresses developed by the untensionedreinforcement due to shrinkage and creep shall be considered.

V. CONCLUSION This paper gives basic principles for portioning of concrete box girder to help designer to start with project. Box girder shows better resistance to thetorsion of superstructure. The various trail of L/d ratio are carried out for Box Girder Bridges, deflection and stress criteria satisfied the well withinpermissible limits. As the depth increases, the prestressing force decreases and the no. of cables decrease. Because of prestressing the more strength ofconcrete is utilized and also well governs serviceability.

Which type of multiple­cell box girder is better, cells connected by top flanges or cells connected both by top and bottom flanges?Why does the presence of tension reinforcement lead to increasing deflection in concrete structures?What are the functions of different reinforcement in a typical pile cap?Plate Girder In BuildingsWhat are the limitations of grillage analysis?What is the effect of shear lag in a typical box­girder bridge?In the construction of a two­span bridge (span length = L) by using span­by­span construction, why is a length of about 1.25L bridge segment isconstructed in the first phase of construction?
