	1998 Steel Bridge Rules (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Student Steel Bridge Competition is sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction and co-sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Iron and Steel Institute, the James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation and the National Steel Bridge Alliance.
		The bridge carries heavy truck traffic to and from mines which are the basis for the economy of this rural region, as well as providing access and emergency services to residences.
		A constructed portion of the bridge may not be slid horizontally unless it is supported by both abutments, or by temporary shoring on both banks, or by one abutment and one unit of temporary shoring.

	2005 Steel Bridge Competition
		Steel bridge competition is an event that allows Civil Engineering students the opportunity to apply their knowledge about steel design and fabrication to be able to compete against other Engineering students from other Universities.
		The design of the 2005 steel bridge is a simple truss for the decking support and the super structure which is strong and lightweight and allows the members to be assembled quickly.
		The bridge incorporated the use of a super structure this year, which allows the deflection of the bridge at the center to be reduced.

	STEEL BRIDGE COATINGS RESEARCH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Because the majority of the steel bridges in the interstate system were constructed between 1950 and 1980, most of these structures were originally painted in this manner.
		Bridges were either painted over repeatedly in a low-tech, low-cost attempt to combat corrosion and deteriorating aesthetics, or they were cleaned by open abrasive blasting and repainted based on a low-cost bid.
		She is currently conducting staff research in paint testing and performance studies of low volatile-organic-compound coating systems for steel bridges.

	Final Report: Prefabricated Steel Bridge Systems
		The steel girders with cast-in-place or precast decks are the most common elements in steel bridge construction.
		A cold formed steel plate or corrugated metal form are welded to the top of the steel girders under factory controlled conditions followed by welding a welded wire mesh to the plate as shown in Figures 4.2(b).
		Once the units are assembled and tied together, sections of steel mesh for lap-splicing are placed on top of the longitudinal joints and tied to the welded steel mesh as shown in Figure 4.4.

	Welcome to U.S. Bridge online
		Once the new bridge was opened to traffic, the old four span bridge was disassembled, refurbished as needed, galvanized, and disbursed to four other separate locations.
		The county was provided with a written 35 year warranty, but with the depth of the zinc coating applied to the steel the bridge should be effectively maintenance free well beyond the warranty.
		The new bridge, 390 feet long and 30 feet wide, is the longest hot-dip galvanized steel truss bridge in the Western Hemisphere.

	Pine Street Bridge Historic Steel Arch Bridge in Lockport New York over Erie Canal in Niagara County
		When viewed from beneath, this truly is a steel bridge, because you can not even see the concrete of the deck.
		The bridge's v-laced spandrels, an attractive arch shape, and its location in a pretty valley with old canal locks beneath combine to make this bridge a pretty bridge in a pretty area.
		It could mean that the whole bridge was built in say the 1940s as v-lacing was starting to become outdated and bolts were starting to become more dominant in bridge building.

	USC Viterbi School of Engineering : Steel Bridge
		There are four key elements to building a winning bridge, Maguire and his teammates explained. First, the bridge must be fully pre-fabricated prior to the competition and fit into the specified box. Second, it must be constructed in as little time as possible using as few people as possible.
		Third, the bridge must be able to hold 2,500 pounds of weight without bending more than 2 inches under the load. And last but not least, the bridge must be lightweight.
		Seventeen PSWRC steel bridge entries were judged on stiffness, lightness, speed of construction, aesthetics, efficiency and economy.
