Video: Suggested Fabrication Details, Part 1

The SSSBA presents a topic based video series on short span steel bridges.

In this series, Dr. Gregory Michaelson (Co-Director, SSSBA Bridge Technology Center & Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering at Marshall University) discusses suggested fabrication details (part 1) for short span steel bridges.

The goals of this video are:

• To provide an overview of simple and economical fabrication practices.
• To provide engineers with guidance on designing/detailing steel girders for short-span steel bridges.

The outline of the video is as follows:

• Part 1: Framing System Layout (this video)
• Part 2: Girder Fabrication (watch part 2)
