    This document provides an overview of a bridge engineering course offered at IIT Madras between January and May 2013. The course objectives are to give students a general understanding of bridge structures, their structural behavior, and design. The course will cover topics such as bridge decks, substructures, bearings, piers, abutments, foundations, construction aspects, and failures. Key components of bridges discussed include superstructures, substructures, foundations, bearings, and abutments. Different types of bridge superstructures are also outlined such as slab bridges, girder bridges, box girder bridges, truss bridges, arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and suspension bridges.

    BRIDGE?
    A bridge is an elevated transportation structure spanning across some obstacle (a river, a valley, a road or a railway). It provides a passage for transporting pedestrians, vehicles, pipelines, etc.

    11

    BRIDGE
    Of all inventions (the alphabet and printing press alone excepted), those inventions which abridge distance have done the most for the civilisation of our species. (Macaulay) The bridge builder was held in great esteem (pont pontiff) in Europe. (The Chief Bridge Builder in Rome was given the title Pontifex Maximus). Bridges have great importance in terms of urban, social, cultural and economic development. They also have major military significance.

    COMPONENTS OF A BRIDGE
    Superstructure:
    Deck slab Girders / trusses / arches / cables Handrails, guard-stones,

    Bearings (for deck) Substructure:


    Abutments Piers Foundations for abutments and piers

    Approaches, slopes, aprons,

    COMPONENTS OF A BRIDGE

    14

    CLASSIFICATION OF BRIDGES
    based on function based on material (for deck) based on type of superstructure based on superstructure support conditions based on relative elevation of bridge floor
    15

    CLASSIFICATION
    based on function:
    pedestrian bridge highway bridge railway bridge road-cum-rail bridge aqueduct (canal over a river/valley) viaduct (rail/road bridge over a valley)

    16

    CLASSIFICATION
    based on material (for deck):
    timber bridge masonry bridge iron bridge steel bridge reinforced concrete bridge prestressed concrete bridge composite bridge FRP bridge
    17

    CLASSIFICATION
    based on type of superstructure:
