About this Event
This seminar presents practical, cost-effective solutions for local and state bridge projects using short-span steel bridges.
Participants will learn how standardized designs and tools like the SSSBA’s free software eSPAN140, eBEAM140 and ePLATE140 streamline design, cut fabrication costs, and accelerate construction. The session also covers initial and life cycle cost comparisons, examples of prefabricated bridges and local workforce built steel
