A Vierendeel bridge is a bridge employing a Vierendeel truss, named after Arthur Vierendeel, a Belgian engineer who proposed this new bridge girder-type without diagonals in 1896. [1] Such trusses are made up of rectangular rather than triangular frames, as are common in bridges using pin–joints.

Arthur Vierendeel (10 April 1852 – 8 November 1940) was a civil engineer born in Leuven, Belgium. He had a career as a university professor, and civil engineer.
A Vierendeel bridge, which lacks diagonal elements in the primary structure. The members of a Vierendeel structure are not triangulated but form rectangular openings. The structure has a frame with fixed joints that are capable of transferring and resisting bending moments. As such, it does not fit the definition of a truss, since it contains ...
A Vierendeel bridge. The Vierendeel truss, unlike common pin-jointed trusses, imposes significant bending forces upon its members—but this in turn allows the elimination of many diagonal elements. It is a structure where the members are not triangulated but form rectangular openings, and is a frame with fixed joints that are capable of ...
The bridge was designed by T. E. Harrison: it consisted of a 300 ft (91 m) main span, an iron bowstring bridge, constructed from box girders connected by what would later be considered a Vierendeel truss with curved corner strengthening to create elliptical voids in the bracing. Harrison's design pre-dates Vierendeel's theoretical analysis of ...

A Vierendeel girder with six supports runs around the first floor roof. [13] As originally built, the interior consisted of concentric rings of rooms and offices with corridors between them, [2] designed to keep arriving and departing passengers separate. [14]
