  2. Plate girder bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_girder_bridge

    In the deck-type bridge, a wood, steel or reinforced concrete bridge deck is supported on top of two or more plate girders, and may act compositely with them. In the case of railroad bridges, the railroad ties themselves may form the bridge deck, or the deck may support ballast on which the track is laid.

  3. Open web steel joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_web_steel_joist

    The main function of an OWSJ is to provide direct support for roof or floor deck and to transfer the load imposed on the deck to the structural frame i.e. beam and column. In order to accurately design an OWSJ, engineers consider the joist span between bearing points, joist spacing, slope, live loads , dead loads , collateral loads, seismic ...

  4. Orthotropic deck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthotropic_deck

    The orthotropic deck may be integral with or supported on a grid of deck framing members, such as transverse floor beams and longitudinal girders. All these various choices for the stiffening elements, e.g., ribs, floor beams and main girders, can be interchanged, resulting in a great variety of orthotropic panels.

  6. Cantilever method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_method

    The cantilever method is an approximate method for calculating shear forces and moments developed in beams and columns of a frame or structure due to lateral loads. The applied lateral loads typically include wind loads and earthquake loads, which must be taken into consideration while designing buildings.

  7. Deck (building) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deck_(building)

    Decks can also be covered by a canopy or pergola to control sunlight. Deck designs can be found in numerous books, do-it-yourself magazines, and websites, and from the USDA. [8] Typical construction is either of a post and beam architecture, or a cantilever construction. The post-and-beam construction relies on posts anchored to piers in the ...

  8. Rim joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_joist

    In flooring construction, the rim joists sit on the sill plates; in deck construction, they are parallel to the support beams and sit on the beams or in some cases, cantilever away from the beams. A double thickness board in the position of a rim joist is called a flush beam and serves a dual purpose, providing primary support for the joist ...

  9. Simple suspension bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_suspension_bridge

    In a simple suspension bridge the deck lies on the main cables In a suspended deck bridge the deck is carried below the main cables by vertical "suspenders" Comparison of a catenary (black dotted curve) and a parabola (red solid curve) with the same span and sag. The catenary represents the profile of a simple suspension bridge, or the cable of ...
