selection and the design and detailing of multi-column piers, single column piers, pile bents, straddle bents, and integral pier caps. Lastly, this chapter briefly discusses substructure design software, seismic
The primary function of a bridge deck is to support the vehicular vertical loads and distribute these loads to the steel superstructure. This chapter provides practical information regarding the decking options and design considerations for steel bridges, presenting deck types such as concrete deck slabs,
this module provides an overview for the structural analysis of steel girder bridges. Discussions include the applicable loads, descriptions of the various tools and techniques available, and considerations for selecting the appropriate application or technique for a given bridge. 9.

bridges. The braces provide stability to the primary girders as well as improving the lateral or torsional stiffness and strength of the bridge system both during construction and in service. Depending on the geometry of the bridge, braces may be designated as either primary or secondary members. In the AASHTO LRFD Specifications
The design charts and graphs provided in this chapter were developed to satisfy flexure at the Strength I and Service III limit states according to the AASHTO LRFD Specifications
11 wrz 2024 · Students learn about the types of possible loads, how to calculate ultimate load combinations, and investigate the different sizes for the beams (girders) and columns (piers) of simple bridge design. Additionally, they learn the steps that engineers use to design bridges.
Cantilever bridges can span relatively long distances. Colum: A long, rigid, vertical (upright) support part of the structure. Deck: The surface of a bridge where vehicles travel.
