SOIL INTERACTION STUDIES ON PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BRIDGE USING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Objectives: The strategy which is utilized to overcome solid shortcoming in tension is prestressed concrete (PSC) bridges. In this paper we are utilizing prestressed concrete in beam so that the Section remains Un split under service loads and with a specific end goal to anticipate erosion of structure brought on because of water leakage through joints. Soil interaction impacts are noteworthy for bridges in soil settlement under footing conditions where the load is applied. Because of this reason soil structure interaction studies consider for this extension are examined. Methods/Analysis: In this paper we are thinking about two models, one without soil interaction and the other with soil interaction. Finite element analysis is utilized for the assessment of structures and frameworks, giving an exact figure of a part's reaction subjected to thermal and structural loads. Finite element analysis (FEA) system is generally utilized for major or more muddled extension structures. The live load and moving burdens are connected utilizing ANSYS. Findings: The primary target of this paper is to concentrate on the contrast between the BM, SF and deflection in girder and chunk while applying the dead load and live load under these two conditions. The BM, SF and deflection values are increased without soil association condition when contrasted with soil cooperation. Applications: Soil interaction impacts are noteworthy for bridges in soil settlement under footing conditions where the load is applied. Because of this reason soil structure interaction studies consider for this extension are examined so this method is applicable for bridges to get safe and economical bridge designing.
