🌉 BRIDGE STRUCTURE & LOAD PATH
🏗️ Main Bridge Components & Functions
1️⃣ Parapet: Protects pedestrians and vehicles.
2️⃣ Wearing Surface: Provides a durable riding surface.
3️⃣ Deck Slab: Supports traffic loads.
4️⃣ Cross Beams: Distribute loads between girders.
5️⃣ Main Girders: Carry loads from the deck.
6️⃣ Bearings: Transfer loads to the substructure.
7️⃣ Pier Cap: Distributes loads to pier columns.
8️⃣ Pier Columns: Transfer loads toward the foundation.
9️⃣ Pile Cap: Distributes loads to foundation piles.
🔟 Foundation Piles: Transfer loads into soil or rock.
1️⃣1️⃣ Supporting Ground: Provides foundation resistance.
1️⃣2️⃣ Drainage Outlets: Remove rainwater from the deck.
📌 BRIDGE LOAD PATH
Traffic Loads → Deck Slab → Girders → Bearings → Pier Cap → Columns → Pile Cap → Foundation Piles → Soil/Rock
⚠️ Note: Actual bridge design must consider structural loads, site conditions, and applicable engineering standards.
🏗️ Build Smarter, Build Stronger!
