Introduction: An arch is a curved structure that spans an opening and supports loads from above . Arches are often used in architecture and civil engineering to distribute weight and support walls or other structures. They can be made from wedge-shaped blocks of stone or brick that are bonded together with mortar and supported at the ends by piers or abutments . The shape of an arch distributes loads from the superstructure to the supports . 2
Methodology TIED ARCH BRIDGE: A tied arch bridge, also known as a bowstring arch bridge, is a type of bridge in which the outward-directed horizontal forces of the arch are borne as tension by the bridge's deck, rather than by the ground or bridge foundations. This type of bridge is characterized by an arch that rises above the bridge deck and is connected to the deck by vertical or near-vertical hangers. BENEFITS: smooth moment distribution on arch and tied girder. Tie and hangers give the arches a good support. 3
Material: recycled steel bars High Strength and Durability : Recycled steel bars maintain the same high strength and durability as new steel bars, ensuring the structural integrity and longevity of the bridge . Corrosion Resistance: Many recycled steel products are treated to enhance corrosion resistance. Reduced Resource Depletion Lower Carbon Footprint. Waste Reduction. Boosting Local Industry 4
