- Description
- Once a bridge type is selected, the designer then advances
to
the detailed design of the bridge. Since the vast majority of steel
bridges designed today are steel gi
rders made composite with concrete bridge decks, this
module
c
over
s
many detail issues that
are encountered when designing a composite deck girder system. This
module
addresses the design of welded plate girders.
However, many of the principles presented are
also applicable to the design of rolled beam bridges.

- Description
- One of the initial choices to be made by the
bridge
designer is to select the most appropriate bridge type for the site. While this
choice is not always straightfo
rward, selecting the right structure type is probably the important aspect of designing a cost
-
effective bridge.
This particular
module
provides
bridge designers with the tools to select the right bridge type for the given site.
Bridge types discussed in
cluded rolled steel beam, steel plate girder, trusses, arches, cable
-
stayed, and suspension bridges.
