steel pedestrian foot bridge

ZHUOPIN Steel pedestrian foot bridge

-Designed for pedestrians and cyclists rather than vehicular traffic

-Useful for crossing water/railways where there are no road bridges

-Allow safe crossing of busy roads

-Can also be used for walkways between buildings or in car parks

-Must be at least 1.2m wide (unless designed for maintenance work only), but can be as wide as needed

-Can be the simplest beam type with hand rails, or a through-truss with hand rails fixed to the two trusses

-Through-trusses useful if the bridge is to have overhead cover and sides with cladding or mesh (essential for road or rail crossings)

-Usually require stairways and ramps

-Long span (50m - 200m)

-Very strong, but also flexible

-Economical as allow a slender and lighter structure which is still able to span large distances

-Light weight is an advantage in earthquake-prone areas

-Modern and simple design makes attractive and distinct landmarks

-Easy to build in segments where in-situ construction or cantilever launch on rollers is not possible. This requires substantial piers and large counterweights

-Less suitable for very windy places due to its lightness

Advantages of steel structure bridges

1. The construction period is extremely short, and the actual construction period can be completed within a few days. Because all structural components are prefabricated in the factory, they can be pulled to the site for hoisting.

2. Easy to disassemble. If it needs to be removed later, the bolts can be removed directly, and all the steel can be reused for other buildings.

3. The appearance is light and beautiful.

4. Post-processing is convenient. For example, you need to add components to it and weld them on.

Bridge Advice

When designing the construction of a new bridge, there are many considerations to be taken into place, but ultimately the span of the area to be bridged is important to ensure the right materials are chosen for the construction.
