Part 2: Loads and Stresses

• Chapter 4: Standard loads for road bridges (IRC 6).
• Chapter 5: Impact factor, wind load, longitudinal forces.
• Chapter 6: Secondary stresses and temperature effects.

4. Key structural elements

• Deck/slab: Carries traffic loads; design for bending and shear.
• Girders/Beams: Primary bending members; choose section to control deflection and moment.
• Piers and abutments: Transfer loads to foundation; design for lateral loads and uplift.
• Bearings and expansion joints: Accommodate movements (thermal, creep, shrinkage).
• Cables/ridges (for cable-stayed/suspension): Tension members that set geometry and stiffness.
