    Comparison Between Box Girder & I Girder

    The document discusses replacing a box girder bridge design with a precast prestressed concrete I-girder design for the Banas Bridge due to site constraints. A PSC I-girder design would allow for faster construction without the need for riverbed staging since the girders can be erected by crane. River flow makes providing staging from the riverbed unpredictable and difficult, whereas precast girders can be erected during no water flow periods. The proposed casting yard location would also reduce transportation time compared to the box girder design.

    Technical & Construction Advancement of PSC Girder on Box
    Girder (Banas Bridge)
    Due to site constants and enhance constructions quality and time line it is
    recommended to go with PSC I Girder rather than box girder. Following comparison
    may be noted for the satisfy our assumption.

    BOX GIRDER PSC I GIRDER


    If we go with the box girder it will be cast Precast PSC I girder can be erected by
    in situ and hence, we have to provide crane. No staging requirement on river bed.
    staging supporting form the river bed This lead to faster construction and better
    which is very difficult and time consuming control over the time line. The in-situ Deck
    with the project time line. slab casting can also be done without
    staging with the help of precast plank.
    The flow of water in river is non Pre -cast PSC I girder can be erected in very
    predictable, hence providing staging from short time during no water flow time in the
    river bed is non-operational in case of river
    heavy water flow time.

    Setting up base for staging in river bed is No Staging required as it is Precast.

    level has been decreased which in results
    increased height staging requirement
