PLATE GIRDER BRIDGES

PLATE GIRDER BRIDGES

Plate girders became popular in the late 1800′s, when they were used in construction of railroad bridges. The plates were joined together using angles and rivets to obtain plate girders of desired size. By 1950′s welded plate girders replaced riveted... (Continue reading)
