I need a concise set of design drawings and specifications so I can hand everything straight to a local metal fabrication shop and have a pedestrian-only footbridge built without further engineering back-and-forth.
Project context
• The bridge will carry people walking only; no bicycles, wheelchairs, or vehicles.
• Span: 3 500 – 4 000 cm (35-40 m) across a river that can rise and flow strongly.
• Clear width between handrails: 100 – 120 cm.
• Deck elevation: ≈ 200 cm above the highest expected water level.
• New concrete abutments at both ends are required; please size and detail them to suit typical reinforced concrete available locally.
• Superstructure should rely on standard rolled steel beams, plate, angles, and readily weldable connections. Stay wires for additional stiffness are acceptable, but every component must be sourceable from local steel suppliers—no imported proprietary fittings or exotic joints.
Deliverables I expect
1. General arrangement drawing showing plan, elevation, and key sections.
2. Member sizing calculations (brief but clear) that demonstrate adequacy for pedestrian loading and potential flood forces.
3. Detailed fabrication drawings for steel beams, stringers, handrails, connection plates, gussets, and optional stay-wire brackets.
4. Reinforced concrete abutment drawings with rebar schedule and anchor details.
5. Bill of materials listing standard steel profiles, plate thicknesses, fastening hardware, and estimated quantities.
Acceptance criteria
• All drawings in PDF and an editable CAD format (DWG or DXF).
• Design meets commonly adopted pedestrian bridge code (e.g., Eurocode or AISC) for live load and dynamic action, and assumes medium corrosion environment.
• No single component requires special order or import; confirm each item can be bought off-the-shelf domestically.
If you have questions about local steel grades or need site photos, let me know right away so we can keep the process efficient.
