It is often necessary to cross a river or any other obstacle where no bridges exist or they have been collapsed due to natural disasters. In general already prefabricated bridge elements will be used. They are mostly made out of light as well transportable and detachable parts from high quality materials which could be fast to build Bridges with different span, width and load capacity. In the present paper behavior and performance of a Bridge, using three different types of truss members, namely Isotruss member, Box section and Circular tube, have been studied. Bridge is modelled and analysed using commercial Finite Element (FE) software. The Bridge is designed for a span of 10.50 m. Live load of 4 KN/m2 and wind load of 51.15 N, 70.34 N and 56.17 N applied as point load on Isotruss, Circular tube and Box section respectively are applied for designing the truss members. For serviceability condition stresses as well as deflections in members have been checked.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
