SSSBA looked at ways to maximize girders made from the standard steel plates, typically 72 in. or 96 in. wide, made by steel mills, says Greg Michaelson, assistant professor at Marshall University.

The first of seven replacement girders was installed Monday, Jan. 13. Construction crews working on repairing the I-471 Daniel Carter Beard Bridge installed the first steel replacement girders Monday.

Go big or go home seems to be the state's unofficial rallying cry for the new Tappan Zee Bridge. Virtually everything about the $3.9 billion replacement crossing, from the engineering to the equipment ...

The steel fabricator for the third-floor tapered, built-up plate girders at the troubled Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco is calling for a girder-hanger connection design review as part of ...

After much anticipation, the first batch of steel girders to be used in the Padma Bridge Rail Link Project (PBRLP) has arrived at Chittagong Port. Considering the stipulated timeline for completion of ...

Barring weather interruptions, the southbound lanes of the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge will reopen as anticipated in early to mid-March, officials said Monday. "The weather is either going to be our ...
