SIMULATION DRIVEN HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF BRIDGE

Abstract

For designing of bridge different designing criteria’s are considered like waterway design, site selection and scour calculation for foundation design also design of other components of bridge such as guide banks approach protection work etc.We simulate mathematical model of bridge structure so as to minimize damage of structure by natural disaster which can occurs in future. Excessive scour can cause undermining of pier which can cause bridge failure by this paper we are putting light on simulation driven hydraulic analysis of bridge which considers software based approach of mathematical modeling.  The software we using is one dimensional software designed by US Army corps i.e. HEC-RAS. This technology gives us a careful planning and deep study to minimize the risk which can be encountered in the actual construction which can lead us to loss of capital and time. We can simulate and run the bridge model in this software for various site condition and environment so that it can be feasible in extreme weather conditions.
