Q345B/Q460C Steel Box Girder Bridge – Certified to ASTM/BS/GB Standards
The Q345B/Q460C Steel Box Girder Bridge is high‑performance bridge structure for highway, railway and urban infrastructure. Made from Q345B / Q460C high‑strength steel and compliant with ASTM, BS 5400, GB/T 714. Closed box‑section features outstanding torsion and bending resistance, well suited for curved routes, long‑span and heavy‑traffic projects. All products are custom‑fabricated to meet global engineering requirements.
Material Grades – Q345B vs Q460C
| Parameter | Q345B | Q460C |
|---|---|---|
| Yield Strength | ≥345 MPa | ≥460 MPa |
| ASTM Equivalent | A572 Gr 50 | A709 Gr 50W |
| EN Equivalent | S355JR | S460 |
| Typical Application | Medium‑span highway bridges | Long‑span / heavy‑load railway & seismic‑zone bridges |
Q345B balances strength, weldability and cost‑efficiency for general highway projects. Q460C provides higher yield strength for long‑span, heavy‑duty bridge construction.
Full International Standard Compliance
Manufactured according to GB/T 714, BS 5400, ASTM A709/A572. Complete mill test certificates EN 10204 3.1/3.2 are supplied, ensuring full material traceability for international project approval.

Superior Structural Performance – Why Steel Box Girders?
Steel box girders bring remarkable structural advantages for bridge engineering. The closed‑cell section delivers high torsional stiffness which works perfectly for curved & skewed bridge alignments. It achieves good flexural strength with efficient material consumption and favourable strength‑to‑weight ratio to reduce foundation load. The box‑shaped structure maintains stable performance both during fabrication and service operation, and realizes Grade 8 seismic resistance as well as Grade 12 wind resistance.

Custom Fabrication – Tailored to Your Project
All box girders are custom‑fabricated according to individual project demands. Our engineering team carries out structural calculation by STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, RFEM, completes shop drawings & 3D modelling. Production covers CNC cutting, automatic SAW/GMAW welding, NDT (UT / MT) non‑destructive testing, workshop trial assembly before shipment and various surface treatment options including shot blasting, painting or galvanising. Factory pre‑fabrication minimises on‑site modification and speeds erection.

Prefabricated & Segmental Construction – Faster Installation
We adopt segmental prefabrication mode. Components are welded into segments inside factory, transported to site and jointed by high‑strength bolt or welding.
