Structural engineers place a high value on bridge engineering. A balanced cantilever bridge is a structural engineering design and construction methodology in which the bridge construction is carried outward from supports, also termed piers, in a symmetrical manner, with cantilever arms extending equidistantly on both sides of each pier. This type of bridge construction is frequently used over obstacles such as rivers, valleys, or highways, where the implementation of temporary scaffolding is impracticable. There are two methods of balanced cantilever bridge and segmental bridge construction: in situ and precast. The in-situ balanced cantilever bridge construction method can be applied to spans of 200 m length or more using cable-stayed and precast segmental bridges, which are suitable for long spans of more than 100 m in length, where there are restrictions for accessing the site in land, and it is also very economical. In India, bridge construction is performed using IRC codes, such as IRC: 5-2015 standard specifications and code of practice for road bridges, IRC: 6-2017 loads and load combinations of bridges, and for design purposes IRC: 112-2011 which is a code of practice for concrete road bridges. This paper introduces and attempts to summarize a comparative study of in-situ balanced cantilever and precast segmental girder bridges.
