Design Parameters for Tension Members
To prevent undue vibration of tension members, AISC specifications for ASD and LRFD suggest that the slenderness ratio L/ r be
Design Parameters for Rolled Beams and Plate Girders
In the design of beams, girders, and trusses, the span should be taken as the distance between the center of

Design of Other Elements
A few special conditions relating to elements of arch bridges other than the ribs and ties should be considered in design
Design Methods
The AISI Specification is structured such that nominal strength equations are given for various types of structural members such as beams
Design Considerations
Design considerations for steel railroad bridges differ somewhat from those for highway bridges. Railroad bridges have a higher live-to-dead load ratio
Design Loadings
Bridges must be designed to carry the specified dead loads, live loads and impact, as well as centrifugal, wind, other lateral
Design of Arch Ribs and Ties
Computers greatly facilitate preliminary and final design of all structures. They also make possible consideration of many alternative forms and layouts,
Deformations in Beams
Article 3.18 presents relationships between a distributed load on a beam, the resulting internal forces and moments, and the corresponding
