Steel Truss Bridge Description:
Fast-Installed Steel Truss Bridge Fast Delivery
Introduction of the steel truss bridge:
The steel truss bridge is a type of bridge that utilizes a framework of steel trusses to
support the bridge deck. Trusses are structural elements consisting
of interconnected bars or beams arranged in a triangular pattern,
which provides excellent strength and stiffness. Steel truss
bridges are popular due to their strength, durability, and
versatility.
According to the different position of the bridge floor, it is
divided into upper bearing steel truss bridge that the bridge floor
is located in the upper part of the main truss and lower bearing
steel truss bridge which the bridge floor is located in the lower
part of the main truss.
The structure composition of rigid truss beam bridge: Main girder,
Bracing, Bridge deck system, Bridge floor
(1) Main girder
It is the main load-bearing structure and bears vertical loads.
The main truss is composed of upper chord, lower chord and belly rod. The belly bar is divided into diagonal bar and vertical bar.
Nodes are divided into large nodes and small nodes.
Pitch refers to the distance between nodes.
(2) Bracing
1. Classification: longitudinal connection and horizontal
connection.
2. Function: Connect the main truss, make the bridge span structure
become a stable space structure that can withstand a variety of
lateral loads.
3. The longitudinal connection system is divided into upper
horizontal longitudinal connection system and lower horizontal
longitudinal connection system. The main function is to withstand
the transverse horizontal load, transverse wind, lateral rocking
force and centrifugal force acting on the bridge span structure. In
addition, the transverse support chord, reducing its free length
outside the plane.
4. The transverse connection is divided into bridge frame and
crosslink. The main function is to increase the torsional stiffness
of steel girder. Properly adjust the uneven force of the two main
stringer or two longitudinal links.
(3) Bridge deck system
1. Composition: the longitudinal beam, beam and the connection
between the longitudinal beam.
2. Way of force transmission: the load first acts on the
longitudinal beam, and then from the longitudinal beam to the beam,
and then from the beam to the main truss.
(4) Bridge deck
The bridge deck is the part for vehicles and pedestrians to walk
on. The form of the deck is similar to that of steel beam Bridges
and combined beam bridges.
Geometric characteristics of the main truss:
Economy, simple structure, conducive to standardization and easy to
manufacture and install.
The main truss categories:
Triangular truss: Triangular truss structure is simple, the design
is fixed, easy to install and manufacture.
Diagonal bar truss:
Many bar specifications.
Many specifications and large internal force of the vertical rod.
All are large nodes.
The K-shaped truss:
The shear force of the same node is borne by two diagonal rods,
which are small and short in section.
The bar has many specifications, many nodes, short intersections,
and many crossbar beams and connections. For small and medium-sized
spans, the structure is complex.
For large spans, the rods are short, light and suitable for
mounting and dismounting Bridges.
Double-vented bar truss:
The same internode shear force is borne by two diagonal rods, which
are small and short in section.
It is used for large span, short compression inclined rod, which is
favorable for buckling stability.
The small section of the inclined rod makes the number of
connecting pins on the joint plate less, and it is easy to arrange
the joint.
Characteristics of the steel truss bridge:
1. Structural Appearance
A steel truss bridge typically consists of a framework of
triangular units (trusses). These trusses are made up of steel
members such as chords (the top and bottom members of the truss)
and web members (the diagonal and vertical members that connect the
chords). The geometric pattern of the trusses gives the bridge a
distinctive, lattice - like appearance.
2. Material Properties
Steel is the main material used. It is a strong and durable
material with a high tensile and compressive strength. This allows
the bridge to withstand heavy loads, including the weight of
vehicles, pedestrians, and any dynamic loads caused by traffic
movement or wind.
Steel is also a ductile material.
Application of the steel truss bridge:
Highway and Road Bridges: Steel truss bridges are frequently used in the construction of highway and road bridges. They are suitable for a wide range of span lengths, from short to long, making them versatile for accommodating different road widths and crossing various terrains.

Advantages of the steel truss bridge:
1. High Strength - to - Weight Ratio
Steel truss bridges can span relatively long distances compared to some other bridge types. The efficient use of steel in a truss configuration means that the bridge can support significant loads while being relatively lightweight.
2. Modular and Prefabricated Construction
Steel truss components can be fabricated in a factory setting. This prefabrication process allows for better quality control as the components are manufactured under controlled conditions. The modular nature of the trusses means that they can be easily transported to the construction site and assembled quickly.
