        abstract = {The structural behavior of steel I-girder bridges with varying curve angles is critically important in the design of modern urban infrastructure. Unlike straight bridges, horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges experience distinct torsional forces and complex load responses resulting from their curved geometry. This research project analyses six steel I-girder bridge models, keeping the span length, cross-section, and material properties constant while varying only the radius of curvature. All models are subjected to self-weight, superimposed dead load, and moving loads according to class A vehicle specifications, IRC class 70R and fatigue vehicles, with static and modal analysis performed using MIDAS Civil software. The study compares shear forces, bending moments, and displacement along the girders for each curvature configuration. Results reveal that as curvature increases, both bending moment and deflection also increase, highlighting the influence of curve angle on the structural response of steel I-girder bridges.},
