ABSTRACT
Bridges are essential for the efficient movement of trains and
locomotives, as well as for crossing water courses such as streams
across embankments as roads are not allowed to obstruct the natural
flow of water. Culverts provide balance to the water flow on both
sides of the road, as well as protecting and balancing the
embankment in order to reduce flooding. Different types of bridges
exist, such as arch, slab, and box. Masonry (brick, stone, etc.) or
reinforced cement concrete can be used to build them. The bridges
pass through the embankment and are therefore subject to the same
traffic loads that the road carries, so they must be designed
accordingly. Depending on where the bridge is located, the cushion
will vary. Structures must be designed to take into account the loads
(empty, full, surcharge, etc.) along with factors such as live loads,
width, force of braking, load dispersion within the fill, impact factor,
and earth pressure. Referrals are required for relevant IRCs. It is
necessary to design structural elements that can withstand maximum
bending moment and shear force. The culvert crosses over the
earthen embankment, so it is subject to the same traffic load as the
roads; as a result, it has to be designed for such loads acting on the
culvert surface.
