What is bridge for? It is a road on the river, but the road can not stop the water flow, so the bridge has to be with holes for water passing. Our corrugated steel culvert is just for water passing, it has enough strength to meet a load bearing design of road, and it can be big diameter holes, then why can not we do a design a bridge by our corrugated steel culvert?
Corrugated steel culvert can be designed to be a small or medium scale bridge
There are lots of river in each country, so the bridge is an important constituent part of road construction. Most bridge is built by concrete, and these years, the steel bridge is also adopted more and more. Yes, these are for big size bridge. But for some small or medium size bridge, for saving coat and shorter construction term, corrugated steel culvert is a good material for a bridge construction.
The corrugated steel culvert can meet the bridge design.
Corrugated steel culvert main application is to be a drainage culvert under the highway and railway. it can meet live load and dead load bearing strength. It can be assembled big holes which are enough to be a hole of bridge, it has performance of anti corrosion. So why do not we to design a bridge which is made by corrugated steel culvert?
The biggest corrugated steel culvert bridge in China
By now, we have lots of corrugated steel culvert bridge projection in China,the biggest one is located in ShanDong province, China. The bridge has 10 holes of corrugated steel culvert, each culvert has a profile shape of horseshoe, each culvert span is 8m, then 10 culvert are nearly 100m, so the bridge span is around 100m. it has complete built nearly 10 years, and no problem.
