    The document discusses various methods for erecting steel bridges, including: 1. Starting erection from both ends simultaneously for small spans, connecting with bolts or welding and adding temporary members. 2. Lifting large spans or those over 4-6m high with cranes from the banks or river bed. 3. Sliding or rolling girders on rollers when the river bed is dry and height is small, pushing from a trestle on one side. 4. Staging erection by building sections between temporary supports as the bridge is constructed across the span. 5. Using barges with tanks to control buoyancy when erecting over deep, perennial rivers.

    Erection of steel bridge

    Steel girder grids are usully provided for railways. The following points should be
    considered before starting the erection of steel bridge.

    1. Time limit for the construction of bridge


    2. Arrangement of required machinaries
    3. Condition of bridge site
    4. Approch road to the site
    5. Storage facility at the bridge site
    6. Available of temporary supports
    7. Availability of skilled workmen
    8. Width and deepth of river section
    9. Height of bridge from river bed

    The following methods are used for the erection of steel bridge:

    (a) Starting erection work from both ends simultaneously

    When span of bridge is small, erection work can be started from both ends, and
    connected in the middle using not bolts, revets or welding. To avoid erection stresses in
    the members of truss, sum temporary additional member are also connecet to the truss.
    These temporary members are removed after erection.

    (b) Lifting Method


    This method is suitable in the following situations:

     When span of bridge is large.


     Height of bridge from river bed is 4 to 6 m.
     The river bed remains dry except monsoon.

    In this method girder is lifted from both ends by crane and placed on the
    aburtments/piers. When river bed is dry, crane is placed in the river bed and the girder is
    lifted from middle. But, when there is flow of water in river, and it is possible to position
    the cranes on the banks of the river, grader is lifted from both ends using two cranes.

    (c) Erection by sliding or rolling the girder

    This method is suitable when the river bed is dry and height bridge is small. In
    this method, steel pipes or wooden bullies are arranged on one bank of river act as rollers.
    Girder is placed on this rollers. A strong srestle is erected in river bed near the bank. The
    trestle is also supported on rollers. The girder is pushed and its one end is supported on
    the trestle. Now, trestle and girder are pushed towards the opposite bank of river. After
    supporting the girder at far end the trestle is removed. For this process, it is necessary to
    have flatriver bed.

    (d) Stagging
    This method is suitable
     When river is dry
     Or depth of water is very less

    In this method, first of all prop T1 is rercted for span AB. Then memberds of span
    AB are connected using crane. After span AB is ready, prop T2 is erected. A platform is
    prepare for crane on span AB.

    Now the crane is removed on span AB and members of span BC are connecetd.
    Prop T1 is removed and erected ahead of T 2. A platform is repair for crane on span BC,
    and membes of span CD are connecetd. Likewise entire length of the bridge is completed.

    (e) Using barges

    When river is perennial and depth of water is more this method is adopted.

    In this method, trestles are erected on two barges. Girder is prepared on the bank,
    lifted and supported on two trestles using crane. The two barges moves simultaneously
    and positioned on the bridge span. Initilly the ends of girder are higher then the end
    supports. Water is filled in the tanks kept inside the barges. As the weight of barge
    increases, it will sink in the water. When ends of the girder are supportded properly, the
    barges are removed.
    Erection of plat girder or lattice girder
    In this method, steel pipes or wooden bullies are arranged on one support to act as rollers.
    A girder is lifted by crane and placed on these rollers. A temporary trestle is prepared between
    two supports. A derrick pole is mounted on trestle. A rope is passed over the darric pole and
    girder is pulled by winch at the opposite bank. When the girder is supported on the temporary
    trestle, the darric pole is moved on the opposite bank and the girder is pulled to support properly
    on both supports.
