Abstract

The object of the paper is to analyze prestressed horizontal curved solid slab for 20m and 25m bridge span
using grillage analogy method. The analysis presented illustrates the behavior of bending moments, Shear Force,
displacement due to change in Span and curvature for various load conditions of solid deck slab. Slab analyzed under
various loading conditions as per IRC and results has been compared to know the effect of the curvature on bridge
deck. Width of the deck slab keep constant (12m) for various degree of curvature (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°) and analysis has
been done in STAAD Pro. In each analysis, the behavior of deck slabs was investigated, and maximum bending
moment, max shear forces and displacement developed in members were observed.
