CHAPTER 2
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
2.1 SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS
The main task associated before starting the construction of bridge structure is
invariably the process of:-
 Comprehensive planning
 Detailed analysis
 Critical appraisal of alternative designs
The project design team produces drawings, specifications and special provisions
for the project. Planning involves the analysis of scope of work, selection of
construction techniques, listing the equipments required and determining the
categories and the number of labor force to be employed.
2.2 STAGES OF EXECUTION
The various stages of planning and executing of large bridge projects, like any
other major civil engineering projects comprise;
 Preliminary design
 Programming
 Organization
 Tendering
 Fixing contracts
 Infrastructure development
 Control and monitoring including implementation
 Commissioning
 Documentation
 Completion

INTERNSHIP REPORT
2.3 COST ANALYSIS
A comparative analysis of several types of designs using the available material

together with the cost of construction utilizing the locally available labor will lead to an
economical and suitable design for a particular set of conditions.
The significant factors influencing the overall cost of the bridge are compiled in
the following list:
 The total width of bridge deck

 The length of individual spans and overall length of the bridge
 The number of longitudinal and cross girders
 The type and class of live loads supported by the deck
 The depth and type of foundations, excavations etc.,
 The cost of form and false work.
 The cost of materials and labor.
 The type of construction such as precast or cast-in-situ.
 The method of erection of precast segments.
 The time constraint for completion of bridge project.
ECONOMICAL SPANS FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF BRIDGES:
Fig-2.1 Economical Spans for Various Types of Bridges

INTERNSHIP REPORT
2.4 BRIDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Bridge management system (BMS) is an integral and essential part of the overall
maintenance of the roads and railways. The components of the BMS include
 Preparation of an inventory of all the bridges in the network

 Inspection and testing of the bridge components
 Structural and functional assessment
 Implementation of necessary repair and rehabilitation.
 Monitoring the bridges to ensure performance and safety.
The above activities involve field inspection and testing, analytical studies and
design and computerized data management and system analysis. Bridge management
system should serve as a strategic planning tool for policy level management and as a
decision making tool for technical implementation.
2.5 INSPECTION
The objective of bridge inspection comprises the monitoring and the evaluation of
the performance of each bridge structure throughout its service life so that any deficiency
in performance could be detected and corrected early.
The inspections could be classified as
 Routine inspection
 In-depth inspection
 Special inspection
2.6 CONTRACT FIXING
Generally the bridge works are carried out by contract, excepting in the case of
small projects. On a broader scale the projects can be classified into two categories:
 Contract with departmental design

 Contract with contractor’s design

INTERNSHIP REPORT
The main relative advantages and disadvantages of the two methods are
2.6.1 Contract with departmental design

 Quantities and quality of material requirement are fixed and it forms a better
basis for comparison of bid values.
 There is flexibility in varying quantities and even changing design or detail
to accommodate additional requirements that may arise during construction.
 There is likely to be less dispute in interpretation of contract
 Field of competition for bidders is wider which may result in higher cost.
 Latest innovations and techniques may not be fully availed of.
2.6.2 Contract with contractor’s design
 Each offer will be on different basis and piece may be on lumpsum basis.
Comparison on behavior and end results is difficult.
 Any change in dimensions or change in input will lead to difficulties and
contractual complications.
 There are more chances of dispute on interpretation of codal requirements
and checking of designs.
 Field of competition for bidders is limited; this will give least cost solution.
 Bidders will come using latest technique to achieve economy.
2.7 CODES REFFERED

 IRC 6-2014 Section II loads and stresses
 IRC 18-2000 PSC road bridges ( post-tensioned concrete)

2.8 SOFTWARE PROFILE:
2.8.1 STAAD PRO:

Structural analysis can be done by using packages STAAD PRO. “Structural
Analysis and Design Professionals” is a leading software from research Engineers. This
is capable of performing structural analysis, design and detailing all within the same
program.
STAAD PRO features a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools,
powerful analysis and design engines with advanced finite element and dynamic analysis
capabilities. From model generation, analysis and design to visualization and result
verification, STAAD PRO is the professional’s choice for steel, concrete, timber,
aluminum and cold-formed steel design of low and high-rise buildings, culverts,
petrochemical plants, tunnels, bridges, piles, harbor, and much more.
STAAD PRO consists of the following:

The STAAD PRO Graphical User Interface: It is used to generate the model,
which can then be analyzed using the STAAD engine. After analysis and design is
completed, the GUI can also be used to view the results graphically.
The STAAD analysis and design engine: It is a general-purpose calculation
engine for structural analysis and integrated Steel, Concrete, Timber and Aluminum
design.
Structural analysis comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to
study and predicts the behavior of structures. Structural analysis can be viewed more
abstractly as a method to drive the engineering design process or prove the soundness of
a design without a dependence on directly testing it.
To perform an accurate analysis a structural engineer must determine such
information as structural loads, geometry, support conditions, and materials properties.
The results of such an analysis typically include support reactions, stresses and
displacements.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
This information is then compared to criteria that indicate the conditions of

failure. Advanced structural analysis may examine dynamic response, stability and non-
linear behavior.
The design of the bridges is dependent upon the minimum requirements as
prescribed in the Indian Road Congress codes. The minimum requirements pertaining to
the structural safety of bridges are being covered by way of laying down minimum design
loads which have to be assumed for dead loads, super imposed loads, and other external
loads, the structure would be required to bear. Strict conformity to loading standards
recommended in this code.

2.8.2 AutoCAD
AutoCAD is a computer aided drafting software application for 2D and 3D design

and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk. This is vector graphics drawing programs.
Is uses primitive entities such as lines, circles, arcs and text as the foundation for more
complex objects. Its native file format is DWG and to a lesser extent its interchange fole
format, DXF has become the standard for interchange CAD data. All the drafting and
detailing works were done making use of AutoCAD 2014.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
AutoCAD is used across the wide range of industries by architects, project

managers, engineers, graphic designers and other professionals.
Fig 2.3:-AutoCAD screen
2.8.3 Microsoft Excel
Microsoft originally marketed a spreadsheet program called Multiplan in 1982.

Excel became the first spreadsheet to allow the user to define the appearance of
spreadsheets (fonts, character attributes and cell appearance). It also introduced
intelligent cell re-computation, where only cells dependent on the cell being modified. It
has a battery of supplied functions to answer statistical, engineering and financial needs.
In addition, it can display data as line graphs, histograms and charts, and with a very
limited three-dimensional graphical display. It allows sectioning of data to view its
dependencies on various factors for different perspectives
Excel supports charts, graphs, or histograms generated from specified groups of

cells. The generated graphic component can either be embedded within the current sheet,
or added as a separate object.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Microsoft Excel up until 2007 version used a proprietary binary file format called
Excel Binary File Format (.XLS) as its primary format. Excel 2007 uses Office Open
XML as its primary file format, an XML-based format that followed after a previous
XML-based format called "XML Spreadsheet" ("XMLSS"), first introduced in Excel
2002. Microsoft pushed its advantage with regular new releases, every two years or so.

CHAPTER 3
TASK PERFORMED
3.1 SITE VISIT:
From first month of joining we started visiting sites. What are all things will be
done in the site, which we do in the laboratory that will not be done in site but that is due
to meeting of the standards.
RAJUNKUNTE is a village which is situated near Yelanka, Bangalore. Railway

department has undertaken a project of constructing a Road over bridge which is
connecting to international airport near Devanhalli.
Fly over Bridge has length of less than 1 km and it is designed with 8 piers, 2
abutments, two types of pre-stressed concrete girders having 20m and 30m length is used.
3.1.1 During Site Visit:
1) Pile foundation
2) Pile cap
3) Pier and
4) Pier cap
1) Pile Foundation:
Pile foundation is required when the soil bearing capacity is not sufficient for the
structure to withstand. This is due to the soil condition or the order of bottom layers, type
of loads on foundations, conditions at site and operational conditions. Many factors
prevent the selection of surface foundation as a suitable foundation such as the nature of
soil and intensity of loads, we use the piles when the soil have low bearing capacity or in
building in water like bridges and dams. A pile foundation consists of two components:
Pile cap and single or group of piles.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Piles transfer the loads from structures to the hard strata, rocks or soil with high
bearing capacity. These are long and slender members whose length can be more than
15m. Piles can be made from concrete, wood or steel depending on the requirements.
These piles are then driven, drilled or jacked into the ground and connected to pile caps.
Pile foundation is classified based on material of pile construction, type of soil, and load
transmitting characteristic of piles.
The use of pile foundations as load carrying and load transferring systems has
been for many years. Timber piles were used in early days, driven in to the ground by
hand or holes were dug and filled with sand and stones. The use of steel pile started since
19th century and concrete piles since 20th century. With the change in technology and
industrial revolution, many advance systems have been developed for pile driving from
the invention of steam and diesel pile driving machines.
The use of pile foundations is increasing day by day due to non-availability of

land for construction. Heavy multi-storied building are being constructed, and load from
these structures cannot be directly transferred to ground due to low bearing capacity issue
and stability issues of building during lateral load application. So, demand for use of pile
foundations are increasing day by day. Due to this demand for piles, there have been
many improvements in piles and pile driving technology and systems. Today there are
many advanced techniques of pile installation.
 To transmit the buildings loads to the foundations and the ground soil layers
whether these loads vertical or inclined
 To install loose cohesion less soil through displacement and vibration.
 To control the settlements; which can be accompanied by surface foundations.
 To increase the factor of safety for heavy loads buildings

INTERNSHIP REPORT
2 Pile Cap
A Pile cap is a thick concrete mat that rests on concrete or timber piles that have
been driven into soft or unstable ground to provide a suitable stable foundation. It usually
forms part of the foundation of a building, typically a multi-story building, structure or
support base for heavy equipment. The cast concrete pile cap distributes the load of the
building, bridges into the piles. A similar structure to a pile cap is a "raft", which is a
concrete foundation floor resting directly onto soft soil which may be liable
to subsidence.
Materials: M35 grade concrete and Fe500 steel, Size of pile cap 4.5x7.5x1.5m.
Reinforcement: Bottom bar: 25mm dia @100mm c/c in X and Y direction.
Top bar: 16mm dia @100mm c/c in X and Y direction.
Inner ring: 10mm dia provided in rectangular ring act as stirrups.
Outer ring: 12mm dia @ 500mm c/c.
Fig 3.4: Reinforcement of pile cap.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
3. Pier
Piers transmit loads from the superstructure to the foundation. A pier is a raised
structure, typically supported by widely spread piles or pillars.
Specific types of piers and details are more cost effective or necessary due to
aspects of the particular bridge grade and location. In general, it is beneficial to keep cap
size, column size and pile type and size the same for all piers/bents on a project and/or
corridor to enable the reuse of forms and to avoid ordering small quantities.
Piers can be categorized into different groupings according to the principal
purpose:-
1. Multi-Column Piers: Multi-column piers are typically used where column
heights are below 30 feet. Column spacing between 15 and 20 feet is generally
cost effective.
Fig 3.5: Multi-Column Pier
2. Hammerhead Piers: Hammerhead piers are typically used where column lengths
on multi-column piers will require larger column sizes due to slenderness.
Fig 3.6: Hammer-head Piers

INTERNSHIP REPORT
3. Wall/Solid Piers:- Wall piers are typically used where multi-column piers may be
used, but stream flow will result in debris build-up between columns or where
efficient design for collision force is required.
Fig 3.7: Wall/Solid Pier

Size of the pier =1.2m*1.2m
Grade of material = concreting is M35 having the ratio of 1:2:3
Main reinforcement = 50 numbers of 25mm dia bars @100mm spacing
Inner ring = 3 nos of ring in x- direction and 3 nos of ring in y- direction of 16mm dia of
bars (act as stirrups).
Outer ring = 10mm dia bars @ 200mm spacing
Fig 3.8: Reinforcement of pier

INTERNSHIP REPORT
4. Pier cap
A component which transfers loads from the superstructure to the piers is pier
cap. The upper part of a bridge pier; usually made of concrete or hard stone; designed to
distribute concentrated loads evenly over the area of the pier.

3.2 DESIGN OF SUBSTRUCTURE
3.2.1 GENERAL
BRIDGE:
A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way
underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage
over the obstacle.
These bridges are classified as:
1) Small bridge - Overall length of the bridge between the inner faces of dirt walls is
up to 30m and where individual span is not more than 10m
2) Minor bridge - Total length less than or up to 60m
3) Major bridge - Total length greater than 60m

INTERNSHIP REPORT

3.2.3 LOADS
Where appropriate, foundation and abutments shall be designed to withstand dead

load, erection loads, live loads on the roadway, wind loads on the superstructure, forces
due to stream currents, lateral earth.
Loads to be considered for Bridge design as per IRC loading:-
1) Load from superstructure.

2) Dead load.
3) Live load.
4) Earth pressure.
5) Wind load.etc

INTERNSHIP REPORT
1. Dead load- The dead load carried by a bridge member consist of its own weight
and the portions of the weight of the superstructure and any fixed load supported
by the members.
2. Live load: Live load is those caused by vehicles which pass over the bridge and
are transient in nature. These loads cannot be estimated precisely. There are four
types of standard loadings for which road bridges are designed:
1) IRC Class 70R Loading
2) IRC Class AA Loading
3) IRC Class A Loading
4) IRC Class B Loading
3. Wind load: All bridge structures should be designed for the wind forces. Though
the wind forces are dynamic in nature, the forces can be approximated as
equivalent static loads.
4. Earth pressure: earth pressures computed according to a rational theory should
be considered in the case of structure designed to retain earth fills.
Load Calculation
The below calculated loads are important and other load are calculated refer
Annexure 1.
1) Dead load from super structure = (23.6*4) + ((0.25*2.5*22*12)/2)*1.05

3.2.4 ABUTMENT
General
In engineering, abutment refers to the substructure at the end of a bridge span

whereon the bridge's superstructure rests. Single-span bridges have abutments at each end
which provide vertical and lateral support for the bridge, as well as acting as retaining
walls to resist lateral movement of the earthen fill of the bridge approach.
Basic Functions of Abutment are
1. To transfer loads from a superstructure to its foundation elements.
2. To resist and/or transfer self-weight, lateral loads (such as the earth pressure) and
wind loads.
3. To support one end of an approach slab.
Dimension of abutment and abutment cap
Height of abutment stem = 1750mm
Width of stem at bottom = 900mm
Width of sten at top = 750mm
Width of abutment cap= 1450mm

3.2.5 FOUNDATION
General
The low artificially built part of a structure which transmits the load of the
structure to the ground is called foundation. Foundation of a structure is always
constructed below the ground level so as to increase the lateral stability of the structure.
All engineering structures are provided with foundations at the base to fulfill the
following objectives and purposes;
1) To distribute the load of the structure over a large bearing area so as to bring
intensity of loading within the safe bearing capacity of the soil lying underneath.
2) To load the bearing surface at a uniform rate so as to prevent unequal settlement.
3) To prevent the lateral movement of the supporting material.
4) To increase the stability of the structure as a whole.
Dimension Details of Foundation
The design is made by referring to the Indian Road Congress IRC 112:2011
1) Length of Abutment =14.65 m

2) Length of foundation =14.65 m
3) Width of foundation =7.30 m
4) Thickness of foundation =1.10 m
3.2.5.1 LOAD COMBINATION
Load combination is done because to get the critical case among the all
combination which is is taken for the designing of the structure.
As per IRC 6:2014 table 1 combinations of loads are made:
CASE 1 Abutment + Earth Pressure only (LWL CASE)

CHAPTER 4
REFLECTION NOTE
The basic objective of “INTRENSHIP” is to understand the working flowchart of

a design industry and to bridge the gap between the academic knowledge and the
Industrial procedures of the structural design. By site visiting we come to know the
execution part and the techniques used at the site.
They provided the chance to do internship in their company after observing our
communication skill and the knowledge we have about the required software’s.
We come to know, the method of study the drawings and convey the details to
labors. We come to know the technique used for piling. The structure is analysed and the
reactions are used to design in excel sheets. We come to know the preparing of design in
excel sheets.
It was a great experience working at Chetan Infratech Consultants Pvt. Ltd., It is

probably one of the better structural designing company. It has very highly qualified and
efficient staff working with it. I have gained technical skills and experience that I had
never imagined. There were a lot of exposures for the interns working under its roof both
in terms of technical and non-technical activities.
The flexibility of working with CITC is really appreciable. The working

atmosphere was very pleasant. All the supervisors guiding us were very helpful and
patient with us. The main aspect of working in CITC which was designing of the bridge
structures was completely fulfilled to its fullest. We were exposed to many new IRC
codes which we had not studied earlier. The overall experience of working was great and
has helped in all-round development as an individual.
In Bachelor of engineering we know the basic knowledge of using software but,

from the internship program, we get a good exposure about the software and its practical
application.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
In company, we improved our communication skills in time management and

presenting our skills in the way required like drawings or report.
Basically to list out the advantages of this internship program it can be bifurcated into
technical and non-technical out comes.
4.1 Technical out comes
We got to know some of the basic principles of civil engineering involved in design
of bridges. We get exposed to various code provisions and limitations in design and
executing in the site.
We became more familiar to codes like IRC 6, 18, 78 & 112. Studied all the basis
requirements for designing from the codes.
Studied in detail the method of understanding the CAD drawings and further to
analyze the structure and decide the methodology to be carried out for completing the
project. Learned manual designing of bridges and modeling and analysis of some of the
off shore structures. The use of excel sheets used for design purpose and the measures to
be considered from the analysis done using STAAD Pro software.
In some of the meetings discussions regarding the design like type of foundations
or the width and spans of superstructure were decided and further steps to be taken would
be explained to us.
Using STAAD Pro for design of bridges and other off shore structure was new to
us. But it was quite interesting in learning the different kinds of loadings applied like the
earth pressure, water pressure, hauling load, live loads which were the 70R loading or
AA loading etc. The use of different load combinations was new to us. The method of
sorting all the results and selecting the required values for design purpose was learnt. Use
of this software was really time saving and it also gave accurate results and check for
members weather they pass or fail.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
4.2 Non-Technical out comes

 Communication skill.
The communication skills will develop more by communicating with the

client. Initially we dint know anything, after some days it was easy. The client
will discuss about the projects what type structure required, cost of plan and
design.
Communicating with the people working in the office, the doubts arise
that will be asked to individual persons that will increase our communication
skill. Communication will develop due to the peoples like interns working in the
office discussing about the doubts. In site, way of communication to the peoples
like masons, assistant engineers, site engineers and MD to asking about progress
of work will increase the communication. Then by sharing what we knew with
other interns and our guides in this way also we were able to develop our
communication skills in the organization.
 Personality development.
Personality developed by the long way in reducing stress and conflicts in

office. It also developed by keeping a positive attitude in the office. An
individual with a negative attitude finds a problem in every situation.
Personality development helps an individual to inculcate positive qualities

like punctuality, flexible attitude, willingness to learn, friendly nature, eagerness
in the organization and so on. Never hesitate to share information with others.
Always reach office on time. Some people have a tendency to work till late.
Late sittings not only increase your stress levels but also spoil your
personal life. Individuals need to have a style of their own for others to follow
them. Do not blindly copy others and follow their path, instead try to make an
impact of your own.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
 Time management.
The time management is developed by the office like maintaining the

office time from morning to evening. Time management is developed by
completing our given piece of work before the scheduled time.
Prioritize Work: Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need
your immediate attention as unimportant tasks can consume much of your
precious time. Some tasks need to be completed on that day only while other
unimportant tasks could be carried forward to next day. Procrastination is one of
the things that badly affect the productivity. It can result is wasting essential time
and energy. Stress often occurs when we accept more work than our ability
which finally results in mental and at times physical exertion.
