Abstract:- The principle objective of this project is to design and analysis of flyover using Csi-bridge. India being a mainly agriculture based country and due improvements in the industrial activities in the urban areas, the traffic congestion has become the hectic issue in the metropolitan cities. To overcome the traffic congestion issues the technical innovations are adopted. On the way of structural engineering the structures like overpass flyover and some other structures are adopted to crack the traffic issues. In this paper the behavior of the flyover structure has been studied for the single cell and multicell box girder flyover. Csi-Bridge software is used to analyze and study the parameters such as bending moment, shear force, torsion, axial force, displacement etc,.

flyover is the horizontal platform that spans the space between columns. Finally, the deck of the bridge.

1. OBJECTIVES

   • To study the traffic congestion problems in the multiple road junctions in the urban areas.

   • To analyze the overpass flyover bridge as per the IRC norms using Csi-BRIDGE software.

   • To assess and compare the results for single cell and

     multi cell box girder sections of the flyover bridge.

   • To study the behavior of the structures in different load cases and combinations.

   1. INTRODUCTION

A flyover is a construction built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Designs of flyover vary depending on the function of the flyover, the nature of the terrain where the flyover is constructed, the material used for construction and the funds available to build it. The flyover consists of number of spans with columns (piers), deck, and foundation etc. In order to construct a flyover all these elements are to be analysis and designed properly. For large construction this process of designing and analyzing become complicated when done manually time taking and sometimes lead to errors so in order to meet these problems software's are used. The computer software's are the ones which can perform this action of analysis and designing with minimum errors with in short period of time such that the designing of complex flyover become easier while using software's. Some of the famous software's which are generally used for analysis and designing of structure are Staad pro, Csi- bridge, Ansys, SAP etc., A flyover has three main elements. First the substructure i.e, foundation transfers the loaded weight of the bridge to the ground. It consists of components such as columns (Also called piers) and abutments. An abutment is the connection between the end of the bridge and the road carried by the earth; it provides support for the end sections of the flyover. Second, the superstructure of the

Flyover with the box girder section and pier with rectangular section. Box girder is of trapezoidal cross section. Two different models are modeled with single cell box girder and another with multi-cell box girder. The geometrical model is modeled with post tensioned load with different pre stressed loads.

Basic data adopted for the respective structure:

• Horizontal layout data: Total length : 300m

  Radius of curved layout : 572m

• Vertical layout data : Span interval : 20m

• Elevation : 1.2m increased to each span upto 8m elevation at the station of 140m to 160m.

• Lane data :

Number of lanes : 2 Width of single lane : 5m

Results and discussions:

The analysis of the respective flyover structure is done with Csi-Bridge software. The analysis outputs parameters are axial force, shear force, moment and torsion in the force parameters. The different types of displacements are also notified such as vertical displacement, transverse displacement, longitudinal displacement and average longitudinal rotation for both the single cell and multicellular box girder flyover.

The deformed shape of the entire span of the flyover is as shown below,

CONCLUSIONS:

• In the current project the road traffic congestion problem is analyzed in the multiple road junction in the urban area.

• The results in both the cases are compared such as axial force is 9% less in case of single cell box girder.

• The vertical shear force is 12% lesser in the single cell box girder bridge.

• The bending moment by 6%, the displacement by 6% lesser in the single cell box girder flyover bridge when

  compared to the multi cell box girder bridge.

• A comparative study between multi cell and single cell pre-stressed concrete box girder sections has been done. This study shows that the single cell box girder is most

fitted and economical crosswise for two lane Indian national road bridges.
