Steel Design, or more specifically, Structural Steel Design, is an area of structural engineering used to design steel structures. These structures include schools, houses, bridges, commercial centers, tall buildings, warehouses, aircraft, ships and stadiums. The design and use of steel frames are commonly employed in the design of steel ...
A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers).For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete.
Due to the technological advancements in creating eyebars, iron and old cast method of steel eyebars are less common. These older bridges however still need to be maintained and reviewed. Researchers like Dewey Walls Jr. of the Union Pacific Railroad have compiled resources on how to review, identify compromised locations and how to properly ...
Underslung (lower-beam) launching gantry used for Skyline guideway construction (2015). A launching gantry (also called bridge building crane, and bridge-building machine) is a special-purpose mobile gantry crane used in bridge construction, specifically segmental bridges that use precast box girder bridge segments or precast girders in highway and high-speed rail bridge construction projects.
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) is a not-for-profit technical institute and trade association for the use of structural steel in the construction industry of the United States. AISC publishes the Steel Construction Manual, an authoritative volume on steel building structure design that is referenced in all U.S. building codes.

The wire used in suspension bridge construction is a galvanized steel wire that has been coated with corrosion inhibitors. At specific points along the main cable (each being the exact distance horizontally in relation to the next) devices called "cable bands" are installed to carry steel wire ropes called Suspender cables.
