ULTIMATE POSSIBILITY IN LONG SPAN BRIDGING
The limiting span is defined as that span at which the structural system will support itself. The ultimate span is the maximum span possible for a particular type of construction. Comparison is made between ultimate spans and those already built to indicate that in concrete construction the limit has almost been reached but for steel construction much larger spans are possible.
