Steel Beam Bridges with Girders


Types of Steel Box Girder Bridges

Steel box girder bridges use hollow, rectangular sections for load-bearing. They are classified by cross-section, function, and construction method.

1. By Cross-Section

  • Single-Cell Box Girder: One enclosed chamber; good torsional resistance (e.g., urban viaducts).

  • Multi-Cell Box Girder: Internal diaphragms improve strength (e.g., cable-stayed bridge decks).

  • Twin Box Girders: Separate boxes for wide decks or wind stability (e.g., Akashi Kaikyo Bridge).

2. By Structural Function

  • Simply Supported: Single-span, easy to erect (spans 20–50 m).

  • Continuous Spans: Multi-span for smoother decks (spans >200 m).

  • Variable Depth Girders: Optimized for bending moments (e.g., Chongqing Caiyuanba Bridge).

3. By Construction Method

  • Full-Span Launching: Prefabricated sections lifted into place (for river crossings).

  • Cantilever Assembly: Segments added symmetrically from piers (e.g., Humen Bridge).

  • Incremental Launching: Pushed longitudinally into position (e.g., Ganter Bridge).

  • Swing Erection: Rotated into place over obstacles (e.g., railway crossings).

4. Special Types

  • Flat Steel Box Girders: Low-profile for aerodynamics (e.g., Great Belt Bridge).

  • Composite Box Girders: Steel box + concrete deck (e.g., Shanghai Lupu Bridge).

  • Corrugated Steel Web Girders: Reduces weight (e.g., Japan’s Tamagawa Bridge).

Advantages: Lightweight, long-span capability, fast construction.
Challenges: Corrosion protection, buckling risk in thin-walled sections.

Iconic Examples:

  • Millau Viaduct (France): Multi-cell box girders.

  • 1915 Çanakkale Bridge (Turkey): Suspension bridge with steel box deck.
