Steel Bridges

Identify:
__________________ 1. The Cheapest steel available for structural users where stiffness is more
important than the strength.
__________________ 2. A type of bridge where the longitudinal girders are made structurally
continuous with the vertical or inclined supporting member by means of moment carrying joints.
__________________ 3. It is a lateral force produced due to the lateral movement of rolling socks in
railway bridges.
__________________ 4. Variety of steel which is having enhanced resistance to atmospheric
corrosion is also called __________.
__________________ 5. Is the weight of the structure and any permanent load fixed thereon.
Enumeration:
6 10. Give five various loads on bridges
11 12. Classification based on type of traffic carried
13 - 15. Classification based on the main structural system
