4. Bridge
Bridge is a type of structure that provides passage over
obstacles such as valleys, rough terrain or bodies of water by
spanning those obstacles with natural or man made
materials.
Components of a Bridge:
a) Deck slab
b) Longitudinal girder
c) Cross beams
d) Bearings
e) Joints
f) Pier/ Abutment
g) Pier cap
h) R.E. wall
12. Introduction: railway over bridge
The railway over bridge is a result of collaborated working
of Bridge Corporation and Indian Railways.
The Railway over bridge is divided as:
Rail portion: Its construction is carried out by Indian
Railways.
Viaduct portion: It lies on both sides of railway portion and
is constructed by bridge corporation.

18. Steps in Construction of Bridge
1. Surveying
It is the detailed study or inspection, by gathering
information through observations, measurements in the field
and data analysis in the support of planning, designing, and
establishment of property boundaries.
Under Surveying we have:
Initial site inspection
Dimensional tolerances
Triangulation
Horizontal and Vertical alignments
19. 2. The reinforcement is laid before constructing
any structure over which concrete is to be placed.
3. Shuttering
Temporary timber, plywood, metal or other material
used to provide support to wet concrete mix till it gets
strength for self-support.
It provides support to horizontal, vertical and inclined
surface and also provides support to cast concrete
according to required shape and size.
Types of shuttering:
a) Steel shuttering
b) Wooden plank shuttering
c) Temporary brick masonry shuttering
20. Materials required for shuttering
a) Bottom (casting bed)
b) Beam plate & Cross beam plate
c) Tube anchorage
d) H.T.S wire (12.5 mm), winding wire
e) Nuts & bolts
f) Plastic plate
g) Wooden block
21. 3. Concreting
Concreting is the process of mixing together the various
ingredientswater, cement, aggregate, and any additivesto
produce concrete.
Concrete production is time-sensitive. Once the ingredients are
mixed, workers must put the concrete in place before it hardens.
In modern usage, most concrete production takes place in a large
type of industrial facility called a concrete plant, or often a batch
plant.
Machines used in concreting:
a) Batching plant
b) One bag mixer
c) Two bag mixer
d) Four bag mixer
22. Bag mixer divided in 3 parts:
a) Hooper
b) Drum
c) Air-bucket
4. After the setting of concrete, the shuttering is
removed.
Recommended period for removal of shuttering:
48 hours-foundations, columns, beams, walls
7 days-underside of slab up to 4.5 m span
14 days-underside of slab, beam arches above 4.5 m
up to 6 m span
21 days-6m to 9 m span
28 days-above 9m span
23. Suggestions
Bridge maintenance consists of a combination of structural
health monitoring and testing.
This is regulated in country specific engineer standard .
A simple test or inspection every two to three years and a
major inspection every six to ten years is done.
There are several methods used to monitor the stress on
large structures like bridges.
a) Use of accelerometer.
b) Use of Doppler vibrometer.
