Product Description
The Shop Welded AASHTO LRFD Steel Arch Bridge is a full factory-fabricated permanent bridge system designed for long-term road and highway infrastructure. Different from conventional on-site welded bridges, this model adopts 100% shop welding under stable factory conditions to ensure consistent weld quality and structural stability.
Fully designed per AASHTO LRFD and fabricated under AWS D1.5M, the bridge applies standard LRFD load-resistance design methodology to meet US highway safety requirements. The closed-box steel arch structure delivers high spanning capability and structural efficiency, ideal for permanent highway overpasses, ramp interchanges and major road crossings.
Shop Welding Core Advantages
Controlled Factory Welding: Climate-stable workshop environment avoids wind, moisture and temperature interference of field welding.- Higher Weld Consistency: Adopts automated SAW/GMAW welding for full penetration, uniform fusion and fewer defects.
- 100% Full NDT Inspection: All primary load-carrying welds complete 100% UT ultrasonic testing in factory.
- No Field Welding Risk: On-site assembly uses high-strength bolted connections to eliminate on-site welding errors and rework.
- Schedule Stability: Fabrication is weather-independent, ensuring on-time project delivery.
- Fast On-Site Erection: Pre-welded modular design greatly shortens construction period and reduces road closure time.
AASHTO LRFD Compliance (US Highway Standard)
Design Method: Official LRFD load & resistance factor design- Design Live Load: Standard HL-93 truck + lane load
- Steel Structure Design: Fully compliant with AASHTO LRFD Section 6 (flexure, shear, fatigue, fracture control)
- Fatigue Performance: Classified per AASHTO 6.6.1.2 fatigue category standards
- Seismic Design: Compliant with AASHTO LRFD seismic provisions
- Design Lifespan: 75–100+ years service life
AWS D1.5M Welding Certification
Top-tier bridge welding standard (stricter than general AWS D1.1)- FCM fracture-critical member specification & enhanced inspection
- 100% UT testing for full-penetration critical welds
- AWS-certified welders + CWI certified inspectors for full-process supervision
- Standard UT/MT/PT multi-level NDT quality control
