Short Span Steel Bridges 
NSBA Bridge Design and Resource Survey
The National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA) is always looking to develop new and improve existing resources that address the needs of owners and the design community when it comes to bridges.
This survey is intended to help NSBA identify and prioritize those needs with the goal of making steel bridges faster and more cost effective to design, fabricate and construct.
NSBA would greatly appreciate and encourage you to also share this this survey with your colleagues.
This survey is intended for practicing bridge engineers and it should take you approximately 15-minutes to complete.
Everyone who takes part in this survey will be entered for a chance to win one of several copies of the 16th Edition Steel Construction Manual (slated for fall 2023 release).
