Note: The Design Data Sheets were updated on October 11, 2021

The design data sheets provide preliminary steel beam sizing and detailing information for the lengths, girder spacings, loading and other design criteria. The Ohio Department of Transportation has reviewed the use of design data sheets for use in the construction of short span steel bridges up to 140 feet in length.

Deviations from the criteria incorporated herein may necessitate modifications to girder sizes. It is the responsibility of the engineer of record to assure adherence to state and federal standards.
