Quote HistoryQuoted: Why? Jackassery aside, steel can typically span greater distances than concrete and will give you more strength per weight of material. It will usually last longer when properly painted or galvanized (although some of the new weathering steels eliminate the need for any kind of finish) It can handle more deflection before failing and is less likely to fail when seismic activity is a concern. A lot of new bridges/overpasses here are being built with concrete pilings/columns and steel for beams, though with the cost of steel on the rise that may begin to change. Tell your state to build with steel so you can keep me employed  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And maintained. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/35wBridgecollapse.gif?20070803235846 That goes for any structure. And 35w was a combination of issues. Splice and gusset plates were under designed to start, it was originally designed for 2 lanes each way but was re-striped to 4 each way which increased the amount of cars traveling on it, combine that with holes being cut in the deck and a combination of construction materials and vehicles creating a dead load condition that the bridge was never intended to withstand and you end up with a problem. A under designed concrete bridge faced with similar conditions would fail as well.
