Comparative Study of RCC Vs Steel Truss Bridges Using Staad.pro Under Dead Load And Live Loads
Abstract
Bridge failures emphasize the importance of selecting durable and structurally reliable systems. This study presents the analytical evaluation of a Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) bridge proposed as a replacement for a 32-year-old collapsed steel truss bridge. The RCC bridge was modeled and analyzed using Staad.pro software under dead load and live load conditions. Load combination was generated to evaluate displacement and structural performance. The results indicate that the RCC bridge satisfies streth and serviceability requirements while offering improved durability and reduced maintenance demand. Based on analytical findings, RCC is justified as a reliable construction solution for long-term infrastructure performance.
