Our academic project took us to the beautiful village of Dhiprang in Kaski, Gandaki Province, where we worked on the design of a Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) T-girder bridge. This hands-on experience combined fieldwork, structural analysis, and collaborative teamwork, giving us practical exposure to civil structural engineering beyond the classroom.
- Project Name: Design of RCC T-Girder Bridge
- Location: Dhiprang, Kaski, Gandaki Province
- Coordinates: 28°21'00.3"N, 83°57'15.3"E
- Type of Bridge: RCC T-Girder (Beam) Bridge
- Design Criteria: As per Indian Standards (IS Code) & Nepal Bridge Design Code
Scope of Work
- Topographical & Hydrological Surveys: Conducted onsite to understand terrain, catchment areas, and flow characteristics.
- Geotechnical Data Collection: Obtained through the support of LRBSU (Local Road Bridge Support Unit) to assess soil conditions and bearing capacity.
- Bridge Component Design: Each element—from abutments to deck slab and girders—was analyzed and designed based on relevant codes and site-specific conditions.
Project Results
From the surveying, followed by design of superstructure (slab, deck, girders), bearing, and foundation substructure, we successfully completed the project.
