1. INTRODUCTION
have generally been followed for the design and construction ofthese bridges.
1.2. With the rapid development work in the urban sector in India,
construction activities for pedestrian crossings over roadways and railways
in and around metropolitan and large cities have increased considerably.
This trend is likely to continue with further development leading to demands
for pedestrian crossings in suburban towns as well. Apart from urban areas,
pedestrian bridges are also being built over rivers, valleys and in amusement
parks etc.
2. SCOPE
2

IRC:SP:56-2000
3. AESTHETICS
d) The lighting on the bridge should not only be adequate for the pedestrians,
but should be tastefully designed to create an aesthetically pleasing
environment at night.
4. DESIGN LOADS
4.1 .1. The imposed load due to pedestrian traffic shall be treated as a
uniformly distributed load over the clear footway.
3
<<
IRC:SP:56-2000
4. 1.3. The above loadings are to be considered for the design of all parts
of the bridge floors and general stability of the structure.
For the purpose of designing the main girders the loading shall be
taken as:
L 15
where
P = 400 kg/rn2 or 500 kg/rn2 as the case may be based on
clause 4.1.2
P = design load in kg/rn2
I.. = effective span of main girder, truss or arch in rn
W = width of footway in,metre
<<
IRC:SP:56-2000
5. DEFLECTION OF GIRDERS
5.1. Rolled steel beams, channels, plate girders or lattice girders, either
simple or continuous spans, shall be designed so that the total vertical
deflection due to dead load and live load should not exceed 1/300 of the
span. However, this limit may be exceeded in cases where greater deflection
would not impair the strength or efficiency of the structure or lead to damage
of the finishing.
a) 8 mm when both sides are accessible for painting or are in close contact
with other plates or rolled sections or are adequately protected against
corrosion.
hi When one side is not readily accessible for painting or is not in close contact
with another member or is not otherwise adequately protected and where the
thickness required by calculation is less than 12.5 mm, 1.5mm shall be added
to the calculated thickness subject to the total thicknes.s being not less than
tO rriiii.

IRC:SP:56-2000
c) 6mm for built up box members when the inside ofthe member is effectively
seated.
dl The above stipulations shall not apply to hollow tube sections (rectangular,
square or round), provided the ends are adequately seated and external
corrosion protection is sound.
8. CLEARANCE
9. APPROACH STAIRS
Tread The horizontal upper surface of a step upon which the foot is
placed.

IRC:SP:56-2000
9.2. Pitch
The pitch shall be uniform for the bridge and shall be maximum
40 degree and minimum 30 degree. A suitable shape for a step is 17cm rise
and 25 cm going with 2.5 cm nosing to give a tre.ad of 27.5 cm, with skid
free surface.
