Reidential/rural bridge design
Reidential/rural bridge design
(OP)
Mechanical Engineer has been asked to assist a co-worker/neighbor in his desire to design a replacement for a 25' residential/rural bridge. His old bridge crossed a waterway and was washed away in a hurricane related flood. Please provide best advice for new bridge design which will occasionally carry considerable vehicular traffic.

It also makes the suggestion, perhaps not strongly enough, that you retain a local P.E. who is familiar with all phases of bridge construction and the paperwork requirements that are unique to your area.

Check with local building officials.
