INTRODUCTION
• Superstructure consists of the deck structure itself -support the direct loads due to traffic and all other permanent and variable leads.
• Connection between the substructure and the superstructure – usually bearings, However, rigid connections between pier / abutments (frame bridges)
CLASSIFICATION OF SUPERSTRUCTURES
• According to materials of construction : (i) Reinforced Concrete
(a) Solid Slab/Voided Slab
(b) Slab and Girder (T-beam)
(c) Hollow Box Girder
(ii) Pre-stressed Concrete
(a) Voided Slab
(b) Slab and Girder (T/I – Beam) (Post-tension/Pre-tension)
(c) Hollow Box Girder (Post-tension/Pre-tension)
Classification of Superstructures (continued)……..
(iii) Steel – Truss, Arch, Plate Girder, Box Girder
(iv) Composite construction using steel and reinforced concrete, or reinforced and pre-stressed concrete
(a) Longitudinal and transverse beams, with concrete slab
(b) Longitudinal Plate girders, transverse beams & concrete
slab
(c) Longitudinal Box girder with concrete slab
Classification of Superstructures (continued)……..
• According to Structural Arrangement : (i) Slab – Solid/Voided
(Cast-in-situ/Pre-cast)
(ii) T/I – Girder + Slab (Girder-Pre-cast/cast-in-situ & Slab-Cast-in-situ)
(iii) Hollow Box Girder –( Single Cell/Twin Cell - Cast-in-situ / Pre-cast - segmental )
Classification of Superstructures (continued)……..
• According to inter-span relation :

• Self Weight• Temperature • Creep/shrinkage • Seismic/wind
VARIOUS METHODS OF ANALYSIS
• Simple beam theory of analysis• Effective width method of analysis• Distribution factors method of analysis
(i) Morice and Little method(ii) Curbon’s method
• Grillage analysis• Orthotropic plate method of analysis• Finite element method of analysis
GRILLAGE ANALYSIS OF SUPERSTRUCTURE
DESCRIPTION
• A computer-aided method for analysis• Deck - idealized as a series of ‘beam’ elements
(or grillages), connected and restrained at their joints.
• Each element - given an equivalent bending and torsional inertia to represent the portion of the deck which it replaces.
• Restraints and supports - applied at the joints and members framing into a joint may be at any angle.
GRILLAGE ANALYSIS PROGRAM
Essentially five steps of analysis :-
• Idealization of physical deck into equivalent grillage• Evaluation of equivalent elastic inertia of members of
grillage• Application of loads to grillage• Determination of force responses and design
envelopes• Interpretation of results.
GRILLAGE MESH
Bridge Deck Idealized Model (Deflected)
SKEW DECKS
• Orientation of longitudinal members -always be to the free edges.
• Transverse members - parallel to the supports.
SLAB IDEALIZATION– Bending & Torsional Inertia of Grillage Members
• For calculation of flexural and torsional inertia - the effective width calculation of slab needed - Codal provisions
• After calculation of the effective width of slab - the deck is divided into number of T or L-beams (as the case may be)
SECTIONAL PROPERTIES OF GRILLAGE MEMBERS
• The section properties of grid lines representing the slab -calculated by :-
I = bd3/12and J = bd3/6.
• If construction materials have different properties in the longitudinal and transverse directions - correction needed
• For example - in a reinforced concrete slab on precast prestressed concrete beams or on steel beams - the inertia of the beam element ( I or J) is multiplied by the ratio of moduli of elasticity of beam Eb and also Es materials to convert it into the inertia of slab material.
