Abstract
Abstract: The earlier publication from the authors focused on “The bridge through the college” which highlights how contracts and agreements signed many decades ago have to still be respected and fulfilled. A public highway planned to originally be laid on top of a filled-out irrigation canal passing through the campus of a college that commenced in 1977 was later replaced with an elevated bridge that was completed in 2023 and is now open to the public. The first part of the two-stage manuscript elaborated on the conception of the bridge, the general layout, geometry, and construction of this reinforced concrete girder bridge. The challenges associated in the process of engineering and construction as well as the opportunities missed were discussed. The second part of this study details the analysis process of the girders, the static and dynamic bridge loads considered, the code specifications and guidelines followed. The results of the analyses present the strength and service level member forces the bridge girders and slab are subjected to, and the design governing load combination envelopes. The study presents the superstructure girder designs, slab designs and the design methodology followed overall.
