  2. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    I-beams are still available in US sizes from many Canadian manufacturers. In Mexico, steel I-beams are called IR and commonly specified using the depth and weight of the beam in metric terms. For example, a "IR250x33" beam is approximately 250 mm (9.8 in) in depth (height of the I-beam from the outer face of one flange to the outer face of the ...

    They enhance the bending resistance of the plate to allow it to carry local wheel loads and distribute those loads to main girders. They also increase the total cross-sectional area of steel in the plate, which can increase its contribution to the overall bending capacity of the deck (i.e. the deck plate acts as a top flange in a box or I beam ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girder_bridge

    These create standardized I-beam and wide flange beam [7] shapes up to 100 feet in length. A plate girder is a girder that has been fabricated by welding plates together to create the desired shape. The fabricator receives large plates of steel in the desired thickness, and then cuts the flanges and web from the plate in the desired length and ...

    A dowel plate. The traditional tool for making dowels is a dowel plate, an iron (or better, hardened tool steel) plate with a hole having the size of the desired dowel.To make a dowel, a piece of wood is split or whittled to a size slightly bigger than desired and then driven through the hole in the dowel plate.

  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. Ironworker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironworker

    A sleever bar is a steel alloy bar used to pry on beams to put them in place, when a spud wrench is insufficient. A beater is forged steel head mallet with a lacquered hickory handle for beating a tapered pin or bull pin into the bolt hole to align the others at the beam end or "point" and stuff the rest of the holes.
