STEEL BRIDGE
DEFINITION
• Steel bridges are widely used around the world in
different structural forms with different span
length, such as highway bridges, railway bridges,
and footbridges
• Advantages of structural steel: strength, ductility,
easy fabrication, and rapid construction.
• It has a much higher strength in both tension and
compression than concrete, and relatively good
strength to cost ratio and stiffness to weight ratio.
• Steel is a versatile and effective material that
provides efficient and sustainable solutions for
bridge construction, particularly for long span
bridges or bridges requiring enhanced seismic
performance.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS
D E TA I L I N G F O R A S S E M B LY
- Installation of bearings
The first pieces of steelwork to be erected on site are
the bridge bearings. The function of a bearing is to
transfer weight of the superstructure to the
substructure. They may also transfer transverse and
longitudinal forces. They carry large forces but can be
easily damaged by inappropriate handling or
installation.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
BRIDGE ERECTION
- Erection using cranes
Erection using cranes is considered the most cost effective erection
method for the majority of structures. However, note that only
crawler cranes and some small rough terrain mobile cranes are able
to traverse the site with a load. The site areas adjacent to the bridge
will affect the position and size of crane that can be used and this
will affect capacity of lift and therefore choice of crane and the piece
size. The area for preassembly will also influence lift size.
- Specialist Transport
Where lifting into position is not suitable, for example when there is
a lack of space for a crane or there are overhead cables in the
vicinity, one option is to assemble steelwork at low level away from
(but close to) the actual bridge site. The assembled steelwork is
then jacked up to allow specialist transportation units beneath the
deck. The units are then used to transport the deck into position.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
BRIDGE ERECTION
- Launching
The steelwork is assembled on low resistance
rollers or a sliding system at each pier or
temporary support. A haulage and restraint
system is used. The steelwork requires plenty of
construction alignment to ensure adequate fit up
prior to launching and needs to have sufficient
time in the program to allow for this. However,
assembly is normally near ground level, with the
use of much smaller and less expensive cranes
and minimum work at height.

Actions to Avoid
• Do not bolt or weld to the structural steel
members.
• Do not remove any portion of the
structure.
• CAUTION! Paint may contain lead.
