Now a days bridges are the main components of the road transportation. There are different kinds of bridges out of which the prestressed bridges are becoming prominent due their structural advantages .This paper mainly studies about the behavioural analysis of the multi cell(2,3,4) with varying depth of girders as 2m,1.8m,1.6m to provide the efficient section . The main criteria of the analysis are the bending moment, shear force and the reaction on the sub structure and the seismic analysis of the sections. The sections are designed and analysed as per the codal recommendations of the IRC:112-2011. The loadings for which the decks were analysed are self-weight, Super imposed dead load, pre stressed load, moving load of IRC class A vehicle, and other load combinations. The result of the exercise show that among the (2,3,4) multi cell bridge decks with varying depth of 2m,1.8m,1.6m, the section with 2 cell and 1.6m depth provides the most efficient section in all the aspects of the analysis done. The analysis is done in the MIDAS CIVIL software which is an finite element analysis.
