The Forth Bridge's piers are constructed from 120,000 cubic yards of concrete and masonry, faced with 2 ft thick granite. 200 trains use the bridge every day, carrying 3 million passengers each year. The total painted area of the Forth Bridge is 230,000 sq metres, requiring 240,000 litres of paint.
S355 steel is predominantly used in highway bridge applications, as it is readily available, and generally gives the optimum balance between stiffness and strength. S275 steel is often used on railway bridges, where stiffness rather than strength governs the design, or where fatigue is the critical design case.teel bridges are an essential feature of a countryâs infrastructure and landscape. Few man-made structures combine the technical with the aesthetics in such an evocative way. Look closely at the next âlandmarkâ bridge you see; the chances are that it is made of steel.
