Abstract: This article provides the graphical user interface (GUI) for analysis and design of R.C simple span bridges. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is developed by using MAT LAB programming. The GUI provides the analysis and design of an R.C solid deck slab and R.C T-beam deck slab bridges. The bridges are analyzed for subjecting loads as a one dimensional structure by using finite element method and design is carried out according to I.S specifications. The analysis is carried out for dead loads, IRC live loads, earth pressure, water pressure and seismic force. The GUI contains specified inputs required for analysis and design of the selected bridge structure. The output contains analysis results such as moments, axial forces, shear forces, deformations and design results such as reinforcement detailing of bridge structure. From the research it can concluded that the analysis can be done for any span of bridge, grade of concrete and grade of rebar. Hence, this article may help the structural engineer to analyze and design R.C simple span bridges.
