Note: Use of I.S, IRC & PSC codes permitted
1. Design a RC slab culvert for a clear span of 8m and a carriageway of 10m. Kerb on
either side is 350mm. Assume uniform slab thickness of 650 mm and a wearing coat of
75mm thick. Kerb details need not be designed. Sketch the reinforcement details in the
slab. Consider single train of IRC Class AA tracked vehicle loading.

2.a) While designing a girder inclined soffit with varying depth for shear, sketch and show
how the net shear force for design of stirrups change due to the inclination of main
flexural reinforcements especially at support section.
b) What are the major risks involved in the bridges in seismic prone areas? Sketch and
show measures adopted to prevent such risks quoting examples you know.

3.a) Describe how load distribution in Bridge Decks is made for a bridge having 3
longitudinal girders, using Courbons method. List the assumptions and limitations of this
method.

P
b) List two other methods indicating their advantages over the above method.

4.a) List various types of continuous bridges used based on their method of construction.
b)

P
What is composite action in a composite girder bridge?
Describe the various design requirements of shear connectors.
c) Sketch and show various parts of a composite girder bridge indicating how it is
supported on the pier.

6.a) List the various loads that are to be considered for a pier design.
b) Sketch and show different types of piers used for bridges.
c) Explain using sketches the different safety checks made for piers of bridges.

7. Design an intermediate T-Beam for the following data- slab need not be designed.
i. Road width 8.00m Total width = 10.68m
ii. Span 20.00m
iii. Number of main girders 4 and cross girders 6
iv. Concrete Grade M40
