  • The bridge structure consists of the following components
    Superstructure or decking component
    Bearings
    Substructure Components
    The superstructure of the bridge structure consists of deck slab, girder, truss etc. These components vary based on the type of bridge
    The decking is considered as the road or the rail surface of the bridge.
    The loads received by the decks are properly and safely transmitted to the substructure with the help of bearings.
    The piers are vertical structures used to support deck or the bearings provided for load transmission to underground soil through foundation
    Abutments are vertical structures used to retain the earth behind the structure. The dead and the live loads from the bridge superstructure is supported by the bridge abutments
    Structures constructed as an extension of the abutments to retain the earth present in the approach bank are called wing walls.
    Parapets and Handrails of bridges are not of structural importance, but provided for the safety concerns.
    Foundation are structures constructed to transmit the load from the piers, abutments, wing walls and the returns evenly on the strata.
