Static and Dynamic Analysis of Tee Beam Bridge Deck

This bridge is a structure providing a passage over an obstacle may be for a road, a railway and pipeline etc., T beam bridges are one of the principle type of cast in place concrete decks. It consists of concrete deck slab monolithically cast over the longitudinal girders. Generally bridge structures are subjected to two types of loads i.e. static and dynamic loads. However in the design of structures they are designed based only upon the static loads. The drawback of neglecting the dynamic loads in design stage will affect the structure particularly during the seismic loading conditions. In this research work the bridge deck is modelled as a simply supported T beam bridge deck spanning in one direction with two lanes of span 20m by using rational methods with IRC loadings. T beam bridge design is analysed using Finite Element Analysis through ANSYS. Finally the serviceability of the bridge responses are obtained.
