Beam Bridges
Figure 1 shows a two-lane road beam bridge.
The girders are made of prestressed concrete box-beams with a span s ≅ 20 m, a height h ≅ 0.7 m, and a width ≅ 1 m. The beams are placed side-by-side and supported by double-column piers. Figure 2 shows a single-lane road beam bridge with steel trusses.
The beam type and geometry are the same as beam bridge 1, and the support consists of wall piers. Figure 3 shows a bridge entrance.
The truss is connected to the walkways; the height h1 ≅ 3 m, and the members are made of built-up sections. Figure 4 shows a connection between two members and the walkway.
The connection consists of a base plate and six anchor bolts. Figure 5 shows a schematic three-dimensional view of a span of bridges 1 and 2.
