Abstract Bridges are important component of civil infrastructure which serves as the links for growth of economy by providing the connectivity between the major destinations. The structural design of a bridge involves various consideration in which seismic loading also plays the vital role while designing. The seismic design of a bridge requires rigorous analysis to guarantee safety, resilience and sustainability. The bridges are typically built with Steel structure or with the Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC), the usage of the composite materials for the large infrastructure is still under consideration. The other variations of the structural components are Concrete filled tubes (CFT) in which the concrete is encased with hollow steel tube and Steel Reinforced concrete (SRC) in which the structural steel is encased in concrete. In this present study, a typical Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) bridge is considered and is analyzed in CSI Bridge software after the validation. The pier system of the bridge is replaced with Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) and the results of the two structural systems are compared. The comparison is carried for the all-load combinations including the seismic load. The main comparison of the results is taken for the seismic analysis.
Keywords Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC), Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC), CSI Bridge.
