Lecture No.2 - Bridge-Superstructure

This document discusses bridge superstructure designs and drainage culverts. It describes various cross section designs for bridge superstructures, including slab bridges, slab-on-girder bridges, voided slab bridges, single-cell bridges, multicell bridges, and arch bridges. Culverts are designed to allow water to flow under road embankments and come in different materials like concrete and steel pipes. Common culvert designs include single and double cell concrete box culverts and circular concrete culverts.

Drainage Culverts
Culverts are normally designed to allow water flow beneath an embankment
where the traffic passes. The simplest types being steel and concrete pipes.
Rectangular frame culverts are more common for large streams.
