 ABSTRACT

• A bridge is a structure which usually built over the barrier sort of a water
body, valley, or road. The most purpose of the bridge is to supply passage
over these barriers.
• Bridge failure could also be a natural or human error that results in a
progressive collapse that causes loss of life and property damage.
• Progressive collapse is understood as when a structure's key element fails,
because of the failure of the key element entire structure gets collapsed.
i.e local failure which ends up in global failure of the structure.
 INTRODUCTION

 India is a developing country. Transportation facilities and their related

infrastructure development play a vital role in the progress of developing
countries like India.
Bridges are one of the foremost important engineering infrastructures utilized
in transportation. Bridges are usually built over the barrier kind of water
bodies like oceans, rivers, and lakes and valley or road.
The most function of the bridge is to provide a guideway to counter these
obstructions. The number of assorted loads engaged on the bridge like gravity
loads, seismic loads, wind load, temperature load, braking load, moving loads.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

• Hartanto Wibowo, S.M. CSCE; Silvena S. Reshotkina; and David T. Lau, F. CSCE 2009 [1]
Progressive Failure may be stated as a global hazard or collapse behaviour of a large portion of
the structure which happened due to failure of the small or relatively local part of the structure.
• Uwe STAROSSEK 2006 [2] states a clear variation among robustness along with crash
prevention. About progressive collapse, non-robust structures are of precise matter and need
specific consideration.
• Amir Seyedkhoei, Reza Akbari, Shahrokh Maalek 2019 [3] stated the procedure for progressive
catastrophe of the pre-stressed concrete bridge. Its generation of other specifications for the
disintegration of the various category of bridge-like regular, semi-regular, and irregular
structures.
BRIDGE
• A Structure that provides a way across barriers or,
something that connects, supports or linked one
thing to another.

CASE STUDY OF BRIDGE SAFETY FOR
COLLAPSE
• I-35W Mississippi River Bridge
Collapse (2007): A Case
Study The
• Incident:
• On August 15, 2007, during
rush hour, a section of the I-
35W bridge over the
Mississippi River in
Minneapolis collapsed,
resulting in the deaths of 13
people and injuries to many
INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION
SAFETY BOARD (NTSB) INVESTIGATION REVEALED SEVERAL
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THE COLLAPSE:
• Under-designed gusset plates: The gusset plates, which
connect the steel truss members, were found to be thinner
than required by the design specifications.
• Corrosion: Corrosion had weakened the gusset plates,
further reducing their strength.
• Overloading: The bridge was carrying a combination of
traffic and construction loads at the time of the collapse,
exceeding the design capacity.
• Lack of Routine Inspections: The NTSB also found that
inspectors did not routinely check that safety features were
functioning properly.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES:
• Implement advanced bridge monitoring technologies: To
detect structural weaknesses early on.
• Improve design standards: To ensure that bridges are built
to withstand anticipated loads and environmental
conditions.
• Enhance maintenance practices: To address potential
problems before they become critical.
• Promote a culture of safety: To ensure that all stakeholders
prioritize safety in bridge design, construction, and
maintenance.
CONCLUSION
• A bridge is a crucial link in transportation and communication in the country.
The approach of analysis of the bridge has developed speedily and equally with
the computer-aided programs.
• For above papers, the progressive collapse has occurred due to different
reasons. Earthquake is one of the most important factors of the progressive
collapse of the bridge it's not limited to only gravity loads and blast loads.
• It also seems that existing guidelines of progressive collapse of the building are
not suitable for the bridges because of the different load transfer mechanism,
topology, and its structural configuration.
