RE: design of cross griders for bridges
Is your structure suitably braced? SSRC 1993
AASHTO Bridge Manuals
Structural Engineering Handbook, Gaylord & Gaylord, McGraw Hill
Structrual Steel Designer's Handbook, Brockenbrough et al., Mc Graw Hill
Design of Modern Highway Bridges, Taly, McGraw Hill
The WSDOT (Oregon) Bridge Manual is online in pdf format and may have information on that as well (haven't checked).
OF course, for known joint boundary conditions a 3D FEM analysis will be revealing.
