Abstract: A-box girder flyover is a transport system in an urban area with a high capacity, frequency and the grade
separation from other traffic. Box girder flyover is used in crowded cities, crossover junctions, and metropolitan areas to
transport large numbers of people. An elevated carriage way system is more preferred type of transport system due to
ease of construction and also it makes urban areas more accessible without any construction difficulty. Here the present
study focuses on the analysis of box girder, of an elevated box girder structural system.
1. Introduction: Urban cities in India, have experienced phenomenal growth in population in the last two decades. To
meet the traffic demands, Flyovers, Tunnels & Elevated Highways etc. have been constructed. The viaduct of a bridge has
box girders of single cell, double cell, multi cell etc. There are different structural elements for a typical box girder bridge.
Box girders have gained wide acceptance in freeway and bridge systems due to their structural efficiency, ease of
construction, better stability, serviceability, economy of construction and pleasing aesthetics. Analysis and design of box-
girder bridges are very complex because of its 3D behaviours consisting of torsion, distortion and bending in longitudinal
and transverse directions. A box girder is particularly well suited for use in curved bridge systems due to its high torsional
rigidity. High torsional rigidity enables box girders to effectively resist the torsional deformations encountered in curved
thin-walled beams. There are three box girder configurations commonly used in practice. Box girder webs can be vertical
or inclined, which reduces the width of the bottom flange.

In dynamic analysis, the structural damping is an important key parameter. The damping properties are important in
dynamic analysis, but they are often not well known. The response of a bridge structure due to moving loads, and the
magnitude of the vibrations of the structure, depends heavily on the structural damping capacity [3]. In risk of resonance,
damping is especially important. Damping is a property of building material and structures, which usually reduces the
dynamic response. Damping is dependent on the material of the railway bridge and on the state of the structure [4], for
example presence of cracks and ballast. The magnitude of damping also depends on the amplitude of vibrations of the
bridge. After passages of vehicles, or other excitations of bridges, damping causes the bridges to reach these states of
equilibrium. Predicting the exact value of damping of new bridges is unfortunately not possible. In cases of designing new
bridges, damping tables are used, which gives the lower limits of the percentage values of critical damping , based on
number of past measurements. For already existing bridges, the damping values can be deduced by calculating the
logarithmic decrement from free vibration measurements. It is almost impossible to take all sources of damping of
vibrations of railway bridges into account in engineering calculations, because of the high number of them.

Pushover analysis is a magnitude of target displacement gives seismic accomplishment of structure. Target displacement
shoes global dimension of the structure is expect to design the earthquake, Center of mass of roof displacement. The
target displacement for the MODF structure has been evaluated. The equivalent SODF domain the shape factor, the
assumption is always predicted. Under the non linear static a model show the inelastic response to target displacement,
which result the force. Model is subjected to lateral forces until target displacement is increased. So, building collapses. In
this way target displacement is experienced the architecture earthquake.
