So… What is a Bridge?Bridge:-
A bridge is a structurecarrying a road, path, railroad, or canal across
a river, ravine, road, railroad or other obstacle.

engineering :
The branch of science and technology concerned with
the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and
structures.
• The work done by, or the occupation of, an engineer.
• The action of working artfully and professionally to bring
something about.

What is Bridge Engineering?
The field of science and technology applied to the design and
construction of a structure carrying a road, path, railroad,
or canal across a river, ravine, road, railroad or other obstacle.
![Page 6: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is Bridge Engineering?
If a bridge can also simply be a means of connection, then bridge
engineering is also a recognition of the history of human
civilization as a story of travel and transportation.
![Page 7: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So…What is (also) Bridge Engineering?
The building of crossings in the form of bridges has always been a
measure of technological development of a people.

• New demands: development or planned development of
an area or migration of people and goods which require
transportation
• Changing demands: existing conditions good for
yesterday no longer meet what is necessary today or
tomorrow.

Bridge Engineering (also) is...About Solutions
20
Whatever structure we design and will get built needs to
take into account the diverse elements which will
impose demands on it.
• Vulnerability to earthquakes
• Vessel collisions
• Scour
• High Winds...
• ...and unfortunately, acts of terrorism...
• ...or other problems...

engineering including:
• Structual Engineering
• Geotechnical Engineering
• Traffic and Transportation Engineering
Along with...
• Economics

So What’s the Bottom Line?
25
Stability: When things are good, people build. When times are tough, the
public looks to “shovel ready” and other large-scale public works projects.
Job Security: The interstate highway system began construction in 1956.
Much of our nation’s infrastructure is approaching its original design life.
There is a need to extend what we have, and build or rebuild new.
ASCE’s 2013 Infrastucture Report Card received a “D+” average! There is a
need and it’s growing.
Personal Satisfaction: If you want to help build great things that everyone
sees, helps entire communities, cities, regions, states, or even countries, then
this is your profession.

Selection Criteria For Bridge Site
Selection Criteria For Bridge Site
1.The choice of the right site is a crucial
decision in the planning and designing
of a bridge.
2.It may not be possible always to have a
wide choice of sites for a bridge.
3.This is particularly so in case
of bridges in urban areas and flyovers.
4.For river bridges in rural areas, usually a
wider choice may be available.
![Page 28: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Components and Parts of Bridge
Main components of the modern bridges are:
28
![Page 29: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Abutment – Endpoints of the bridge. They arereinforced so that they can endure intense lateralpressures.Pile (also known as beam, footing, and pier) –Reinforced concrete post that is driven into the groundto serve as the leg or support for the bridge. Thedistance between piles is calculated so that is cansupport the rest of the structure that will be laid ontop of them.Cap – Cap sits on top of the pile beam, providingadditional support and dispersing the load to the pilesbelow. The combination of Pile and Cap elements iscalled Bent.
![Page 30: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Girder or Span – One of the main components of the
bridge that connects all the Piles beams. It can consist
from multiple simple spans, a single continuous span that
is supported by multiple beams, cantilever spans and
cantilever spans with the suspended span between them.
They are usually made from metal or reinforced concrete
and also can be made in the form of haunches girded that
can carry more load. Girder sections are typically not
made from a simple block of material but are made from
truss network (or Orthotropic beams) that increases their
resistance to load. Girders can also be used as a part of
rigid frame network where they are fully connected with
frame legs (which can be inclined or in V shape).
![Page 31: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Superstructure truss network – Truss network that supports travel surface can be made in three basic ways – Deck truss where traffic flows on top of truss network, Pony truss where truss network flows between two parallel walls of trusses, and Through truss that adds additional cross-braced truss network above and below the traffic.
![Page 32: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Arch – Arches on the bridges are distinguished by the number of hinges they have (usually between zero or three) which determine how much stress and load they can safely carry, and the type of material they are constructed (solid material, truss system). Arches below the bridge are called spandrel-braced (cantilever) or Trussed deck arch. Arch bridges can also use suspension bridges where the arch is made from truss system (tied arch, or bowstring bridge).
Spandrel – Spandrels are the almost triangular space between the main pillar of the bridge and decking. Stone bridges use filled “closed” spandrels deck arches, while modern bridges made from metal use open spandrel deck arch configurations.
![Page 33: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Truss – Framework made by connecting triangles and other forms that share load and stress forces across its entire structure. They are commonly separated into several categories such as simple truss (King and Queen posts), covered bridge truss (multiple kingpost truss, Howe truss, long truss, Burr arch truss, town lattice truss, Haupt, Smith, Partridge and Child truss), Pratt truss (and it’s many variations), Whipple truss, Warren truss variations, Howe truss, Lenticulartruss, Fink truss, multiple Cantilever truss variations, and suspension truss arches.

34
Permanent Bridge
These bridges are constructed for long term use and maintained at high level. Steel or R.C.C bridges are come under this category.
![Page 35: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Temporary BridgesTemporary Bridges are pre-engineered, modular
structures that can be used to cross anything from
drainage ditches, streams, and trenches to railway
lines, or utility pipes that are buried close to the
surface
![Page 36: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Bridge Inspection & Maintenance
Bridge inspections (non-structural) are carried out by
qualified staff and reports are prepared that identify
minor routine maintenance and repair items to be
rectified. In addition, the local area surrounding the
bridge is inspected for erosion problems, obstructions
to water flow and other general defects. Aside from
an annual inspection program, bridges may be
inspected following damage caused by accidents,
severe weather conditions, flooding and ice jams, or
where a known problem exists that requires regular
monitoring.36

INTRODUCTION
Tunnels are underground passages used for transportation. They could be used for carrying freights and passengers, water, sewage, etc.
The methods involved are underground operations known as tunnel driving and the surface is not disturbed
It is understood that first tunnel was constructed by Egyptians and Babylonians about 4000 years ago. It was built to connect two buildings in Babylon. The length, width, and height of this tunnel were 910m, 360 cm, 450 cm respectively.
![Page 42: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
THAMES TUNNEL(LONDON)
![Page 43: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Tunnels are more economical than open cuts beyond
certain depths
Tunnels avoid disturbing or interfering with surface life
and traffic during construction
Tunnels prove to be cheaper than bridges or open cuts to
carry public utility services like water, sewer and gas
if tunnels are provided with easy gradients, the cost of
hauling is decreased
In case of aerial warfare and bombing of cities, the
tunnels would grant better protection as compared to
bridges
![Page 44: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
In general it depends on relative cost of open tunnelvs tunelling some aspects are given below.
Nature of soil, particularly in deep cutting, with theconsequent side slopes and volume of excavation
If the soil is hard rock, the open cut could be of steepslope, involving much less volume of excavation andmay prove cheaper
The requirements of fill in the neighborhood alsolargely influence the choice. If a large amount ofmaterial is needed for the nearby fill, an open cutmay be justified
![Page 45: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Alignment restraints: Underground space is a heterogeneous mass and in addition, problems like water table, position of fractured rocks etc. are to be tackled. A through detailed inspection and evaluation of the existing alignment restraints of underground space should therefore be made & correlated with the tunneling technology to be adopted for the project
Environmental considerations: The site of tunnel should be selected in such a way that the least difficulty is experienced for various environmental factors such as disposal of exhaustgas, groundwater, muck, etc.
![Page 46: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Full face method: The full face method is adopted only for small tunnels whose dimensions do not exceed about 3 m. The vertical columns are fixed at suitable height. A series of drillholes about 10 mm to 40 mm diameter are drilled at about 1200 mm centres.
Heading & bench system: This is the method usually adopted for all railway tunnels. The heading is the top portion which will be 3700 mm to 4600 mm ahead of the bottom portion known as bench.
Cantilever car dump method: This arrangement consists of two plate girders about 23 m long and fixed at 1800 mm centres. A belt conveyor fitted with a number of jacks is running on these plate girders, the ends of which project beyond full face of the bench.
![Page 47: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Drift system: In this system, a drift is first
driven of appropriate size, usually of 3000 mm
by 3000 mm. The drillholes are provided all
round the drift in entire cross section of tunnel.
Pilot tunnel method: The pilot tunnel which is
first driven to full size is connected to the
centre-line of the main tunnel, can be started
from a number of holes. The pilot tunnel also
helps in removal of muck and the lighting and
ventilation of the main tunnel
![Page 48: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
![Page 49: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Forepoling method: In this method, a frame in the shape A is prepared and placed near the face of the tunnel covered with suitable planks. The poles are then inserted at top and continued to a depth upto which they can be easily taken up. The forepoling is an old method and it can be used successfully for carrying out tunnelling operations through ground
Needle beam method : This method is useful when the soil is hard enough to stand for few minutes. A small drift is prepared for inserting a needle beam consisting of two I-girders and bolted together with a wooden block in the centre.
![Page 50: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
METHODS OF TUNNELLING
THROUGH SUB-AQUEOUS STRATA
Shield tunnelling: A shield is a movable frame and it
is used to support the face of the tunnel. The
excavation & lining of tunnel can be carried out under
protection of shield
Plenum process or compressed air tunnelling: In this
process, the use is made of compressed air to prevent
the collapse of sides and the top of the tunnel.
Theoretically 0.003 N/mm² air pressure is equivalent
to 305 mm of head of water. But practically 0.0035
N/mm² pressure will be required.
![Page 51: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
DRAINAGE OF TUNNELS Sumps & pumps: The sumps connected by a pipe line
are provided at a distance of about 300 m & water is pumped from one sump to another until it is thrown out of tunnel opening
Grouting: The above method cannot be used, if water is percolating from the top of the tunnel. In such cases, the grouting is adopted to make the seams water-tight.
Pilot tunnel: In cases where pilot tunnel at a lower level than the main tunnel is constructed parallel to it for drainage of water
![Page 52: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
LIGHTING OF TUNNELS
The situations which demand adequate light can be
obstructions in tunnel, drilling & mucking
zones, bottoms of shaft, storage points, pumping
stations, underground repair shops
The spacing of lights will depend on various factors
such as tunnel dimensions, size of light source, nature
of rock surface
The common types of lights used in tunnelling work
are acetylene gas lighting, electric lighting & lanterns
![Page 53: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
![Page 54: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
SHAFTS & MUCKING
Shafts: The shafts are used for ventilation after
the construction of tunnel. They are also useful
to accommodate the pipes of fans during
construction work
Mucking: In case of tunnelling through
rocks, the blasted rock or earth has to be
removed from the tunnel. This process is
known as mucking
![Page 55: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

VENTILATION OF TUNNELS
Blow-in method: In this method fresh air is forced by a fan through a pipe & is supplied near face. This method has the advantage that a positive supply of fresh air is guaranteed where it is required.
Exhaust method: In this method the foul air is pulled out through a pipe & is exhausted by a fan. This sets up a current of fresh air to enter the tunnel. This method has the advantage that the foul air is kept out from working place.

LINING OF TUNNELS
The lining will be required in practically all the tunnels to give a finishing touch to the tunnel cross-section. Most common materials used as lining are stones, bricks, cement concrete, rubber & pre-cast pipes.
In rocky ground, the lining can be carried out in any one of following ways:
Invert first and then sides & top
Side walls first and then arch section and then invert
Full section in one operation

SHAPE & SIZE OF TUNNELS
The size of the tunnel is determined by its utility. For
irrigation purpose, the tunnel is generally designed to
run full & if lining is of concrete, the velocity is taken
as 366 cm/sec. In case of road tunnels, it will depend
no. of traffic lanes & in case of railway tunnels, it
will depend on the no. of lines & type of gauge.
The shape of tunnel is determined by the material of
which the cross-section is built & material through
which the tunnel is bored.

MAINTENANCE OF RAILWAY
TUNNELS The slopes of portals at entry & exit should be
checked.
It should be seen whether the masonry has
crushed, cracked or deteriorated.
The track through the tunnel should be in line and
level.
The dimensions of tunnel should conform to original
dimensions.
The lining of tunnel should be examined & checked if
it is in a satisfactory condition.

Railways were first introduced to India in 1853.
By 1947, the year of India's independence, there
were forty-two rail systems. In 1951 the systems
were nationalised as one unit, becoming one of
the largest networks in the world. Indian
Railways operates both long distance and
suburban rail systems.

• It is a branch of civil engineering concerned with the design,
construction, maintenance, and operation of railways.
• Railway engineering includes elements of civil, mechanical,
industrial, and electrical engineering.
• Railway engineers handle the design, construction, and operation of railroads
and mass transit systems that use a fixed guideway (such as light rail or even
monorails).
• Typical tasks would include determining horizontal and vertical alignment
design, station location and design, construction cost estimating, and
establishment of signaling & controlling system.
• Railroad engineers can also move into the specialized field of train
dispatching which focuses on train movement control.

The gauge of a railway track is defined as the clear minimum perpendicular distance between the inner faces of the two rails.
![Page 69: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
1. Broad Gauge(BG) 1676mm(5’6”)
2. Standard Gauge(SG) 1435mm
3. Metre Gauge(MG) 1000mm
4. Narrow Gauge(NG) 762mm(2’6”)
5. Light Gauge 610mm
![Page 70: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
• Coning of wheels – The distance between the inside edges ofwheel flanges is generally kept less than the gauge. Gap isabout 38 mm on Either side. Normally the tyre is absolutelyahead centre on the head of the rail, as the wheel is coned tokeep it in this central position automatically. These wheel areconed at a slope
• Theory of coning:- On a level track, as soon as the axle movestowards one rail, the diameter of the wheel tread over the railincreases, while It decreases over the other rail. This preventsto further movement And axle retreats back to its originalposition (with equal dia or both rails and equal pressure onboth rails).
![Page 71: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

The high carbon rolled steel sections, which are laidend-to-end, in two parallel lines over sleepers toprovide continuous and leveled surface for the trainsto move and for carrying axle loads of the rollingstock are called rails.
`
![Page 73: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Functions of the rails:
To provide continuous and level surface for the movement of trains with minimum friction with steel wheels of the rolling stock;
Provide strength, durability and lateral guidance to the track;
Transmit the axle loads to sleepers which transfer the same load to the underlying ballast and formation;
Bear the stresses developed due to heavy vertical loads, breaking forces and temperature variance.
![Page 74: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Types of rails:
1. Double Headed Rails (DH Rails)
2. Bull Headed Rails (BH Rails)
3. Flat-footed Rails (FF Rails)
![Page 75: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
On Indian Railways the standard lengths are the following:
Length = 12.80 m. (42 ft.) for BG (say 13 m) and Length = 11.89 m. (39 ft.) for MG (say 12 m)
![Page 76: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
In certain places, head of rails are found to becorrugated rather than smooth and straight,when the vehicles pass over such rails, a roaringsound is created which is intense enough to beunpleasant.
![Page 77: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Due to battering action of wheels over the end of the rails, therails get bent down and get deflected at the ends. These rails arecalled hogged rails.
Measures taken to rectify the hogged rails are:
1. Cropping
2. Replacing
3. Welding
4. Dehogging
![Page 78: PRESENTATION ON bridge ENGINEERING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/6280c0c3a89e9613641101dc/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Measures taken to rectify kinks in rails:
1. By correcting alignment at joints and at curved locations.
2. Proper packing of joints.
3. Proper maintenance of the track periodically in repect of cross levels, gauge, alignment, welding of worn out portions etc.

Ballast in railroad terminology is durable granular material placed between
the crosstie and the sub ballast to hold the track in line and grade.
The primary purposes of ballast are:
To provide structural support forthe track, holding it in good lineand surface
To distribute the load evenly to thesubballast and subgrade and thushelp to provide stability
Provide for drainage
