Revolutionizing Steel Bridge Design for Faster, Cost-Effective Construction.
The American Iron and Steel Institute has created a package to help design short-span steel bridges more efficiently. This package includes plans, details, and software for designing simple-span bridges with spans from 20 to 120 feet. Engineers can use this package to explore cost-effective steel bridge options. It allows owners and consultants to quickly consider steel as an alternative material, promoting competition and innovation. Contractors and fabricators can use the tools provided to prepare design-build contracts.
