1. INTRODUCTION
 A rcc bridge slab design is the simplest type of construction ,adopted for small
spans. A bridge is a structure built to span a vally road, railrood track, river,
body of water, or any other physical abstacle.
 The first RCC bridge was built in 1871 in england with 15m span. Designs of
bridges will vary depending on the function of the bridge and the nature of the
terrain where the bridge is to be constructed.

2. RCC BRIDGE SLAB
 It is the simplest type of construction

Used for small bridges and culverts
for span < 8 m.
 Three methods are available for

analysis of slab subjected to
concentrated load.
(i) Effective width method.

(ii) Pigeaud's coefficient method.
(iii) Westergaards method.
3
3. EFFECTIVE WIDTH METHOD
It is applicable to one way slab supported on two opposite edges.
 This method is based on observation that ,it is not only the strip of slab
immediately below the load that participates in taking the load but also a
certain width of slab, known as effective width of dispersion.
 IRC 21 recommends formula for calculating effective width of two type of slab.
(i) Simply supported slab
(ii) Cantilever slab

4. DESIGN OF RCC SLAB CULVERT
 RC solid deck slab is economical up to 8 m span and it can be used up to 10 m span.
 Advantages : Easy formwork, Easy reinforcement placement and concreting.
 Loading : Class AA / Class 70 R - Tracked and wheeled vehicle, class A wheeled
vehicle.
5
5. CRITICAL LOAD CASES
 For bending moment : Class AA wheeled vehicle up to span of 4m and Class AA
Tracked vehicle span exceeding 4m.
 For shear force : Class AA wheeled vehicle spans up to 6m and Class AA Tracked
vehicle beyond 6m for single lane bridges.
Wearing Coat : 56mm asphaltic concrete
75 mm cement concrete
Dead load due to wearing coat 2kN/m2

6. ANALYSIS OF SLAB SPANNING IN ONE DIRECTION
 For slab spanning in one direction, dead load

bending moment computed assuming the slab to be
simply supported between the supports.
 Bridge deck have to be designed for IRC loads,

specified as class AA or A depending on the
importance of the bridge.
 For slabs supported on two opposite sides, the

maximum bending moment caused by a wheel load
may be assumed to be resisted by effective width of
slab measured parallel to the supporting edges.

7. ANALYSIS OF TWO WAY SLAB SUBJECTED TO CONCENTRATED
LOAD
 Pigeaud's coefficient method it
 is used for two way slab which are supported on

all four edges.
 Slab panel is subjected to symmetrically placed

concentrated load over some well defined
area.
 Short span and long span moment coefficients

are read from curves developed by M. Pigeaud.
 These theory is based on elastic flexural theory.
 Poisson's ratio is taken for concrete is 0.15
8
.
 Limitation of Pigeaud's curve
 Load is placed centre but in actual practice load may be eccentrically and more than
1 number of wheel load in one panel.
 For the smaller value of V/L , m1 and m2 from the graph will be less accurate.
 Method is most useful when K is more than 0.55.

8.COMPONENT OF BRIDGES
(i) Superstructure
(ii) Substructure and
(iii) Foundations
 Superstructure consisting of Parapet , Deck slab , supporting girders and trusses etc.
 Substructure consisting of Bearing , piers , abutments , river training works etc.
 Foundation consisting of supporting pier and abutment.
10
9. BEAM AND SLAB BRIDGE
 A beam or " girder " bridge is the simplest and most inexpensive kind of
bridge constructed for 10-20m span .
 Slab and girder bridges are used when the economical span limit of solid
slab bridges is exceeded.
 The bridge deck essentially consist of a concrete slab monolithically cast

over longitudinal girder so that the T beam effect prevails.
 To impart transverse stiffness to the deck , cross girder or diaphragms are

provided at intervals .
11
10.COMPONENT OF T BEAM BRIDGE
 Deck Slab
 Cantilever Portion
 Footpaths , if provided , curbs & handrails
 Longitudinal girders considered in design to be of T section
 Cross beams or diaprhagms
 Wearing coat
 Width of kerb - 475 to 600 mm
 Wearing coat- 56mm asphaltic concrete
75mm cement concrete
 Footpath - Width @ 1.5m on one side or on both the sides
12
11.CONCLUSION
 This method is ideal for bridge construction bridge give Aesthetical

view or good quality.
 Longer span bridge now possible.
 Longer bridge over water now possible.
 Construction of long bridges now easy.
 Construction time is less.
 Environment friendly construction.
 Construction line is highly mechanized by this method.
