Are there any limitations or deficiencies in a modular type bridge that anyone know of?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Modular Bridge Limitations

RE: Modular Bridge Limitations
Fairly large spans can be achieved, although depending on the configuration both large movement of the deck under traffic and a sagging profile can be a concern to users.
During heavy use wear can be found to pin joints and also deck panels.
A big advantage is that due to the modular construction and the possibility of launching the bridge (by pushing with a launching nose) erection can be carried out with relatively light plant, minimal construction space and a low skilled workforce (of course with good supervision)
