Design and Analysis of Foot Over Bridge Using STADD Pro

Abstract: Foot over bridges are essential for providing a safe passage across highways and obstacles. Lightweight yet sturdy structures are required due to lower transportation loads and the necessity for long clear spans. Steel designs prove economically advantageous and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring quick and extensive installation. However, seismic vulnerability remains a concern for many bridges. This project aims to address this issue by designing earthquake-resistant foot overbridges. The focus is on employing STAAD Pro for truss construction, emphasizing the role of a skilled structural engineer in the competitive market. The design process involves manual load calculations and STAAD Pro analysis, considering various loads such as dead, live, and wind pressures. Adhering to IS 875 specifications, the project employs a trial-and-error approach to optimize steel components, ensuring compliance with safety standards for structural integrity in construction.
