INTRODUCTION
Advantages of Steel Bridges
Dead Load to Live Load Ratio is Lower
Longer spans, Lesser pier and foundation cost

Lesser Construction Depth


Lesser cost of embankment

Rapid Construction
Lower cost of money, Lesser disruption of traffic

Less Disruption to Traffic in Urban Environment


Lesser economic loss to community

Better Performance
Under fatigue, seismic load, impact load, blast load

Longer Life
