Product Description
The Heavy-Duty Box Girder Steel Bridge is a high-load-bearing steel bridge superstructure adopting professional ASTM A709 bridge-specific steel. With optional weathering steel grades and high-performance HPS steel, it features an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and extreme durability. Custom engineered for highway overpasses, railway crossings and heavy-load industrial infrastructure, all bridges strictly comply with AASHTO LRFD design specifications and AWS D1.5M bridge welding standards to ensure stable and reliable long-term operation.
 

Material Advantage – ASTM A709​

 
Grade Yield Strength Key Feature
Grade 36 36 ksi Standard carbon structural steel for general bridge projects
Grade 50 50 ksi High-strength low-alloy steel for conventional heavy-load bridges
Grade 50W 50 ksi Weathering steel with excellent natural corrosion resistance
HPS 50W 50 ksi High-performance steel with superior toughness and weldability
HPS 70W 70 ksi Premium high-strength steel, 40% stronger than standard Grade 50
 
HPS 70W allows thinner plate design, reduces self-weight and effectively lowers foundation construction costs. A709 weathering steel forms a dense anti-corrosion layer naturally without paint coating, achieving 75–120 years maintenance-free service life under normal atmospheric environments.
 

Structural Performance


  • Excellent Torsional Stability: Closed box section resists torsion effectively, perfectly suitable for curved bridges and eccentric load working conditions.
  • Flexible Span Design: Single span: 6m–50m; continuous span: up to 8 spans.
  • Standard Load Capacity: Designed for HL-93 live load, fatigue load, thermal deformation and seismic load per AASHTO LRFD.
  • Economical Hybrid Structure: Matched with HPS 70W flanges and Grade 50W webs to balance structural performance and project cost.
  • Strict Fracture Control: Tension members are designed as FCM (Fracture-Critical Members) with standard Charpy V-notch toughness testing.
  • Full Composite Action: Factory pre-welded shear studs realize complete composite cooperation with concrete deck.
