INTRODUCTION
With the rapid development in urban sector in our country, construction of roadways and
railways network is very fast now a days as six laning, four laning of highways and
Railway Track increment. Due to this increased traffic and development there is great
need for construction of foot over bridge to safely cross the fast moving traffic.
The proposed Foot over bridge consists of Ramp & Stair, Escalator and Portal
Frame/Truss/Arch structures which has a span of 20m at busy Highway roads. Crossing
by foot can not only be challenging, but it also can be dangerous.
The Foot over bridge consists for steel structure with RCC slab on top . There are two way
access to foot over bridge.one through escalator and there is a ramp and stairway
combination (refer drawing).

Most attempts made to reduce pedestrian injuries have focused solely on isolation
techniques such as pedestrian bridges that resulted in different types of foot over
bridges. Also, with the tough economic times that this country is now facing, cost has
become an most important factor when considering construction of any new structure.
The proposed design is optimized in order to satisfy all requirements while minimizing
the cost of the structure.

 DESIGN

The design are applied in accordance to provisions given in IS: 800-2007.

Design bending strength,

Md= p Zp fy / γmo

where, Md = The factored design shear ,

p = 1.0 for plastic and compact section

Zp = Plastic and elastic section modules of the cross-section,

fy = yield stress of the material,

γmo = Partial safety factor.

The factored shear force in a beam, V ≤ Vd

Where, Vd = The design shear strength of a beam

Vn = Av fyw / √3

where Av = shear area

fyw = yield strength of the web

The shear area Av for different sections is given below.

The major axis bending of I and channel sectionsAv = htw (Hot rolled)
Av = dtw (Welded)
The factored design tension in the member (T).

Tdg = Agfy/γmo

where,

Tdg = Block shear

Ag = Gross area of cross section

Zp = Plastic and elastic section modules of the cross section

fy = Partial safety factor for failure intension by yielding

γ mo = Partial safety factor
