| 1 | CSibridge Modelling, Analysis and Design of Prestressed Concrete I-girder Bridge. |
Analysis and design of bridges using analytical approach is very complex and time-consuming most especially when prestressed concrete component is involved. A more productive approach that meets the demands of the present day industrial environment involves application of numerical modelling tool. Hence, this paper demonstrates modelling, analysis and design of a typical I-girder bridge using CSibridge. CSiBridge is a finite element based tool for modelling, analysis and design of bridge structures. Complex bridge geometries, parametric variations, load cases and boundary conditions are easily defined using different commands available in the modelling tool. The modelled bridge is a dual carriageway simply supported 2 x 35 m span prestressed I-girder bridge. The deck section consist of 14-number precast I-girders connected to the substructure members through bearings. The design was done in line with the provision of BS 5400 standards. The loadings considered are dead, superimposed dead, prestress and vehicular live loads. The analysis and design results revealed the unique capability of CSibridge in automating complex designs. The output of the design check showed that moment reactions due to dead load governed the flexural design while shear reactions due to vehicle live load significantly influenced the shear design of the girders.
