In this paper the nonlinear static push over analysis for I section bridge and U section bridge of same material and dimensions is done. There are presently no comprehensive guidelines to assist the practicing structural engineer to evaluate bridges structures and suggest design and select the suitable section for structural designs. In order to address this problem, the aim of the present work is to carry out a seismic evaluation case study for an RC bridge models i.e., I section bridge and U section bridge using nonlinear static (pushover) analysis. In the present study a 4 span RC bridge was selected and by defining FEMA 356 auto hinges conducted nonlinear static (pushover) analysis using (ATC 40) capacity spectrum method and software SAP2000 was used to analyze the bridge. The evaluation results presented here shows that, the performance of I section girder bridge is better as compared with U section girder of same material and same conditions.
