Composite Steel Beam Bridges
- Beam - Structurally, the simplest type of bridge
- Relatively short span - 5m to 30m, although become more expensive after about 15m
- Can be any width, and are easily widened by simply adding more beams and deck
- Frequently used in pedestrian bridges and for highway overpasses and flyovers
- Footpaths can be built on both sides
- Can be built one or two beams at a time, often by direct craneage or by cantilever launch
- Longer spans require supporting pillars, making them unsuitable if lots of space is required beneath
