High Strength and High Rigidity
Steel truss bridges are constructed from steel, possessing high rigidity and load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding the passage of large vehicles and pedestrians. The high strength and rigidity of steel contribute to the stability and robustness of the steel truss bridge, ensuring its long service life.
Short Construction Period
Compared to traditional concrete bridges, steel truss bridges have a shorter construction period because the steel structure can be prefabricated and processed, eliminating the need for cumbersome on-site concrete pouring. This significantly shortens the construction period and reduces costs.
Lightweight, Easy to Transport and Install
Due to the steel structure, steel truss bridges are relatively lightweight, allowing for easier transportation and assembly of components without the need for large lifting equipment. Furthermore, the smaller size of steel components allows for prefabrication in factories, reducing on-site construction and environmental impact.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Compared to materials like concrete, steel is more prone to oxidation and therefore more susceptible to rust. However, environmentally friendly coatings and anti-corrosion coatings for steel are now widely used. These new technologies can not only effectively prevent the corrosion of steel bridges, but also extend their service life to a certain extent.
