Bridge Construction

Bridge construction typically involves methods using relatively discrete elements, like piles and girders, which are assembled piece by piece.

Some of the main materials found on a bridge are steel, concrete, stone and asphalt. Other materials include iron, timber, aluminum, rubber and other joint materials. Below is a description of some typical uses for these materials in a bridge.

Concrete is commonly used for many bridge superstructure members such as decks, pre-stressed concrete beams, curbs, sidewalks and parapets
