Introduction The design and construction of steel bridges are critical components of civil engineering, requiring a deep understanding of materials, structural integrity, and safety. Among the various elements that contribute to the overall performance of a steel bridge, the connections play a pivotal role. Connections are often the weakest points in a structure, making their design and execution paramount to ensuring the longevity and safety of the bridge. This article explores best practices for designing and implementing ASCE steel bridge connections, focusing on bolted and welded connections, common challenges, innovative solutions, and lessons learned from past projects.
