Abstract
Steel bridges are widely used around the world in different structural forms with different span length, such as highway bridges, railway bridges, footbridges, etc. The main advantages of structural steel over other construction materials are its strength, ductility, easy fabrication, and rapid construction. It has a much higher strength in both tension and compression than concrete, and relatively good strength to cost ratio and stiffness to weight ratio. Steel is a versatile and effective material that provides efficient and sustainable solutions for bridge construction, particularly for long span bridges or bridges requiring enhanced seismic performance. The connection methods of steel structures and design of steel-concrete composite bridges are discussed in this chapter.
