_TRUSS BRIDGEStruss stylesArmtec offers a full range of pedestrian and vehicular truss styles for projectneeds. As highly skilled solution providers, we are ready to support every phaseof the project—from concept to installation.ConnectorThe standard Connector designs span up to 76.2m (250') for pedestrianand 45.7m (150') for vehicular applications. They feature a parallel top andbottom chord and are available in both flat designs or cambered up to 1%of the span length.Vehicular DesignConnectorPedestrian DesignKeystone®The Keystone® designs span up to 45.7m (150') for vehicular and 76.2m (250') forpedestrian applications. The depth at center span is usually 10% of the clear span.With longer spans, the center depth may be reduced to 7% of the span.Vehicular Designkeystone®Pedestrian Design

_TRUSS BRIDGESArchway®The Archway pedestrian truss style combines the architectural appeal of atraditional arch design with the engineering practicality of open clearance abovethe bridge deck and exceptional strength below. Archway bridges feature acambered bottom chord to emphasize the arch design. Railing systems can vary.Vehicular Designarchway®Pedestrian DesignCable-StayedEngineered for bridge lengths from 61.9 to 121.9m (200 to 400'), Armtec offersmany tower variations for unique architectural statements; tower heights areapproximately one-quarter of the main span length. The most economical endspans are approximately one-half the length of the main span. The bridge trussitself is very lightweight, and, as installed, appears to be floating.cable-stayedPedestrian Design

_TRUSS BRIDGESCapstone®The Capstone® truss is designed for projects requiring a long span bridge withlimited approach depth. The truss height varies to allow a low-abutment backwallfor improved hydraulic efficiency. Capstone® is an ideal solution for longer spans ofup to 45.7m (150') for vehicular and 76.2m (250') for pedestrian applications.Vehicular Designcapstone®Pedestrian DesignSteel StringerThe Steel Stringer bridge style is an economical alternative for bridgereplacements and short span bridges up to 24.3m (80'). A Steel Stringer(or beam span bridge) can utilize existing bridge abutments where feasible andcan accommodate heavy vehicle loading. Steel Stringer bridges can be built tovirtually any width and then shipped in sections.steel stringerMishawaka, IN - pedestrian steel Truss bridge

_TRUSS BRIDGESLinkThe Link style is an attractive companion to the Connector design. The crossbrace panels add to the symmetry and beauty of the bridge design. The Linkis available in spans up to 76.2m (250') for pedestrian and up to 45.7m (150')for vehicular applications.Vehicular DesignlinkPedestrian DesignGatewayThe Gateway style utilizes the stability of the box girder for longer spans up to91.4m (300'). This design is particularly useful in highway and railroad overpasses.In the custom design phase, Armtec considers all variables—including unusualalignments, grade differences, switchbacks and cantilevers, special architecturaltreatments, glazing requirements, pre-wired electrical systems and custom finishes.gatewayPedestrian Designnew york, NY - pedestrian steel truss bridge
