Ercenghang Bridge, Plate girder road bridge in Taiwan.
Ercenghang Bridge is a plate girder road bridge in Taiwan that spans across water or terrain using steel I-beams and a concrete deck to support vehicles. The structure uses vertical stiffeners running along the girders to keep them from buckling under load.
This bridge was built as part of Taiwan's road network infrastructure. The 1999 Chi-chi Earthquake prompted changes to how engineers design bridges across the island to better handle seismic forces.
The structure represents Taiwan's commitment to modern engineering methods, integrating both vehicle and rail transportation needs within local communities.
You can cross this bridge by vehicle as part of your travel through the area. The crossing is straightforward and accessible throughout the day for regular traffic.
The bridge construction incorporates specific beams connecting the main girders with a depth ratio of 1/12 span for maximum load capacity distribution.
