Design of bridge structure is a complex engineering problem, which includes design of bridgernsystems, selection of design manuals and standards. During design process of bridges, anrninternationally accepted manuals and standards has to be exercised. In line with this, deck designrnof reinforced concrete slab bridges and longitudinal girders of T- and Box- girder bridges may berncomputed by either the traditional or empirical design method set in Bridge Design Manuals. Tornsimplify the design problem of slab and girder bridges, a spreadsheet is used in the country as arndesign tool. A further work on this problem is important to minimize the effort and time requiredrnfor the design of reinforced concrete bridges.rnIn this study, design charts for reinforced concrete bridges have been developed followingrnstandard specifications, technical requirements and ERA Bridge Design Manual. These chartsrnenable bridge engineers to reduce the time effort during design and to optimize concrete bridges.rnBy using these charts, one can design different alternatives for a particular bridge problem.rnMoreover, such kind of attempt could be helpful to examine the correlation between sectionalrnparameters for cost analysis.rnFinally, the use of design charts for practical application has been verified by different examplesrnand the result showed that smaller variation in the design output was obtained as compared withrnan empirical design approach.
