Swing Bridge: A Movable Bridge

Abstract

This study deals with the basic concepts and steps involved within the design and analysis of a swing bridge. There are different types of movable bridges used worldwide in field of bridge construction, while Swing Bridge can be a better alternative from the point of view of safety as well as economy. As we all know now day’s waterway transportation is quite famous and very useful to shorten the distances. Generally when we talk about water way transportation we assume about a ship crossing the river or a bridge over it for vehicular traffic, but assume if both can be achieve at a same time and same location. Main purpose of this study is to provide information about the swing bridge and promote its use in construction of bridges.
