Abstract
The influence of various components, including the deck, girders, trusses, cables, and other structural elements, plays a significant role in determining the long-term stability and service life of bridges. With the increasing demands of traffic loads, environmental factors, and material degradation, it is crucial to reassess and enhance the existing calculations for bridge superstructure designs. This paper aims to redesign and reanalyze the superstructure of the Nongsa Pura Bridge by using secondary data for calculations. The results of this study include updated design specifications, specifically WF 500x200x10x16 and WF 800x300x14x22 structural profiles. The research methodology involves a detailed re-evaluation of the bridge's structural elements, focusing on adapting to contemporary standards and ensuring the bridge’s resilience to evolving demands.
