Weathering steel bridges
This publication highlights the benefits of weathering steel bridges, describes the limitations, and comments on both the material availability and the appearance of such bridges.
Corrosion protection of steel bridges
Both metal and paint coatings, sometimes in combination, are applied to protect steel bridges.
Student guide to steel bridge design
The guide describes the general features of bridges, outlines the various forms of steel bridge construction in common use, and discusses the considerations to bemade in designing them.
Bridged in steel : Lowry footbridge
The Lowry Footbridge is located at the upper reaches of the Manchester Ship Canal at Salford Quays, an area of major redevelopment. The purpose of the bridge is to provide a cycle and pedestrian route across the canal, with full accessibility for the mobility impaired.
Bridges in steel : Jackfield bridge
In order to comply with the strict requirements and limiting constraints previously described, the proposed solution took the form of an asymmetrical cable stayed structure with a slender deck supported by a single pylon with its base out of the water.
Composite steel highway bridges
Preliminary design guide for highway bridges for engineers dealing with design standards and concepts, initial dimensions and overall unit weights.
The design of steel footbridges
Steel offers economic and attractive forms of construction which suit all the requirements demanded of a footbridge.
