DESIGN FORCES IN METRO BRIDGES This Article is a compilation of the below Technical Papers, only the Essence of the Papers are provided here for quick grab in this section, detail report is attached below. I Girder of span 25m & Box girder of span 40m of metro bridge were considered. Analysis of substructure and superstructure for all static and dynamic loads as per various code and then a comparative study has been done between design forces. IRS Code, EURO Code, & California high speed rail authority guidelines are used for comparative Codal References. IRS: CBC suggests higher partial safety factors for dead load, SIDL and live load in load combinations. Therefore, moment, shear force calculated as per IRS: CBC at superstructure are larger as compared to Euro-code and California high speed rail authority guidelines. Seismic forces calculated on the pier as per IRS - RDSO guidelines for seismic design of railway bridges, are same in the longitudinal direction and mor
