Abstract: The time dependent material analysis delivers helpful understanding into the resilience of box girder helping in their design, construction and maintenance. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the time dependent behavior of box girder bridges, with a particular emphasis on compressive strength of concrete. This paper utilizes different concrete design codes including IRC (Indian Road Congress) 112:2011, ACI (American Concrete Institute) and CEB-FIP (International Federation for structural Concrete) 2010 for design of M50 grade of concrete. The comparative analysis of compressive strengths based on all methods carried out shows that compressive strength calculated are in close agreement with each other. The outcomes focus on the time dependent analysis of compressive strength for the structural integrity and safety of box girder bridge.
