During the fast paced civilization and development throughout the world and an increased rate of trade shares among states and countries, various air and sea routes are being discovered quite frequently. In order to optimize the transportation process intricate routes are being used which at times require a ship or a boat to cross a bridge connecting two land masses. In times such as these, there comes a need for special movable bridges, for example Bascule Bridge . A bascule bridge (sometimes referred to as a drawbridge,) is a movable bridge with a counterweight that continuously balances a span, or "leaf', throughout its upward swing to provide clearance for boat or ship traffic. It may be single or double leafed. This research is focused on designing a bascule bridge by taking the Pamban Bridge, the bridge that connects the town of Rameshwaram on Pamban Island to mainland India, as reference and conducting a study on the stress and strain acting on the bridge along with the total deformation analysis. A comparative study is also conducted between stainless steel and structural steel used for its construction and the various parameters found for both the materials to decide which material is safer for the construction. © IAEME Publication.
