Abstract

Bridges hold a special position in the transportation system because of the connections to other locations. Because there are many variables to take into account when determining how well a bridge performs, such as geometry, span clearance, traffic flow, and the materials that are available, there are numerous options for bridges from which to choose. Thus, conducting a comparative analysis of Caulaman Bridge using Reinforced Concrete and Prestressed Concrete design will provide insights on what bridge is easier to construct and more reliable when subjected to various loads. This study was divided into three phases: Data Collection Phase, Data Analysis Phase, and Data interpretation Phase. Under the data collection phase, the researchers gathered data using DPWH's Bridge Inventory and PERTCPM. The bridge's As-built plan were also used. The data collected showed that in terms of manpower and duration of construction, it showed that Prestressed Concrete Deck Girder design needs fewer days and manpower to be constructed. For the data analysis phase, the researchers used Finite Element Analysis, specifically CsiBridge software to analyze the reliability of bridge when subjected to various loads. The analysis showed that the prestressed concrete girder is more reliable than reinforced concrete girder when subject to dead load and live load. Lastly, for the data interpretation phase, Microsoft Excel was used to compare the results of the analysis.
