--------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------Bridge is a structure providing passageway over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. T-beam Bridge is mainly used by designer for small and medium span bridge. Reinforced Concrete is mostly used for highway bridge construction because of its durability, rigidity, economy, ease of construction and ease with pleasing appearance. This paper describes the design of 4-lane Reinforced Concrete T-beam Bridge deck considering IRC Class-AA tracked loading with span varying from 25 to 40m. After computing manually and STAAD Pro analysis software, it is observed that dead load bending moment with increasing span increases almost square of span.
