Abstract

Bridge is a structure having a total length of above 6 metres between the inner faces of the
dirt walls for carrying traffic on road or railway. The bridges shall be classified as minor bridge
and major bridge.

Minor bridge – Bridge having a total length up to 60 meters. Clause 101.1 of IRC 5:1998

Major bridge – Bridge having a total length above 60 meters.

The bridges are designed and constructed adopting the following IRC specifications.

• IRC 5:1998 Standard specification and code of practice for road bridges- Section I
general features of design

• IRC 6:1966 Standard specification and code of practice for road bridges – Section

II load and stress

• IRC 21:1987 Standard specification and code of practice for road bridges- Section

III cement concrete

• IRC 40 : 1995 Standard specification and code of practice for road bridges- Section

IV (bricks, stones and masonry)

• IRC 22:1986 Standard specification and code of practice for road bridges- Section

VI composite construction

• IRC 78:1983 Standard specification and code of practice for road bridges- Section

VII formation and sub structure

• IRC 83:1987 Standard specification and code of practice for road bridges- Section

IX bearings

• IRC SP:20 2002 Rural Road Manual

• IRC SP 13:2001 Guideline for the design of small bridges and culvert

i) Foundation

ii) Substructure

iii) Superstructure

The foundations are different type viz., open foundation, well foundation, raft foundation and
pile foundation. The substructure is the portion of the bridge structure such as pier and
abutments above the foundation unit and supporting the superstructure. It shall also include
returns and wing walls but exclude bearings. Superstructure is the portion of bridge structure
above the substructure level viz., deck slab/beam, hand rail, foot path etc.
