  2. Pin and hanger assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_and_hanger_assembly

    Attempts have been made to increase the safety of bridges with pin and hanger assemblies by adding some form of redundancy to the assembly. Retrofits that add redundancy to pin and hanger assemblies include adding a "catcher's mitt"‍—‌a short steel beam attached to the bottom of the cantilevered girder that extends out beneath the suspended girder to "catch" the suspended girder should ...

  3. Girder bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girder_bridge

    The stubs at the eastern end of the Dunn Memorial Bridge give a good cross section of girder bridge construction. A rolled steel girder is a girder that has been fabricated by rolling a blank cylinder of steel through a series of dies to create the desired shape. These create standardized I-beam and wide flange beam [7] shapes up to 100 feet in ...

  4. Extradosed bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradosed_bridge

    An extradosed bridge employs a structure that combines the main elements of both a prestressed box girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge. [1] [2]: 85 [3] The name comes from the word extrados, the exterior or upper curve of an arch, and refers to how the "stay cables" on an extradosed bridge are not considered as such in the design, but are instead treated as external prestressing tendons ...

    The old Britannia Bridge with train track inside the box-girder tunnel Section of the original tubular Britannia Bridge The patent curved and tapered box girder jib of a Fairbairn steam crane. A box girder or tubular girder (or box beam) is a girder that forms an enclosed tube with multiple walls, as opposed to an Ɪ-or H-beam.

  7. Beam bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_bridge

    Beam bridges are the simplest structural forms for bridge spans supported by an abutment or pier at each end. [1] No moments are transferred throughout the support, hence their structural type is known as simply supported. The simplest beam bridge could be a log (see log bridge), a wood plank, or a stone slab (see clapper bridge) laid

  8. Plate girder bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_girder_bridge

    In a plate girder bridge, the plate girders are typically I-beams made up from separate structural steel plates (rather than rolled as a single cross-section), which are welded or, in older bridges, bolted or riveted together to form the vertical web and horizontal flanges of the beam. In some cases, the plate girders may be formed in a Z-shape ...

  9. Pier (bridge structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_(bridge_structure)

    The total height of the structure is generally between 1.5 a and 2.5 a. [7] The arches are semicircular, and their thickness T depends both on the span a of the arches and on the height H of the structure: [7] If H = 2.5 a, T = 0.1 a + 0.04H If H < 2.5 a, T = 0.125 a + 0.04H
