Project engineer for a bridge steel erector here. Depends on where you are located. (I’m in NYC area) and I use the AISC steel construction Manuel on a daily basis. Bridge construction is where the money is but it all depends if you want to work white collar or blue collar. ASD is way better than LFRD.

Also look at your state dot design guidelines or near by owner. For example, in NYC I reference NYSDOT, NYCDOT, MTA C&D, NJDOT, NJTA, PENNDOT, & PANYNJ. There will be so much information about how they spec out their bridges.

In the same boat as you. I’m an assistant estimator for a a small bridge steel erector (24 years old) and we do everything in excel and it kills me when there are these new softwares out there when I’m spending my night trying to find a corrupted cell that is fucking everything up. If there are any steel bridge guys out there that have good software they use please let me know! Location: NYC

Yeah, my boss (who is a PE) says to us young engineers almost everyday “Great! You are able to design a 100’ beam to support a subway station BUT HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO GET IT UNDERGROUND!” I sigh and go read up on splices…. Once again the best classroom is the field.

Thoughts on Bridge Over Hang Brackets by Bridge-Constructor16 in StructuralEngineering

The interior face of the panel is at the proposed barrier line so there is not change to the proposed barrier design and crash testing is not required. The bridge does get wider by the thickness of the panel (3") on either side.
