NOTE
To prevent problems pinning sway braces, always pin the end of the brace that is closest to the
gap first, then the other end. It may also be necessary to spread the girders of the bridge to align
the holes and insert the bracing pins. Sway bracing must be placed so that it forms a zig-zag
pattern.
(22) Do not add sway brace in bay 1 at this time. This will be added when the launching nose has been
assembled.

Single Story
On single story bridges, when connecting the rear bankseat beam to top panels, it is likely that two girders of the
bridge will be on different levels, and not square with the bankseat beam.
