Substructure & Foundation - Short Span Steel Bridges
Substructure items are the parts of a building or structure that are located below ground level and support the superstructure, including foundations, piles, columns, and basement retaining walls. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown of common substructure items:
Key Substructure Components:
Foundations:
These are the lowest part of a structure in contact with the soil and transmit the loads from the superstructure to the ground. 
Piles:
These are long, slender columns driven or drilled into the ground to transfer loads to deeper, more stable soil. 
Columns:
Vertical structural members that transfer loads from the superstructure to the foundation, essential in tall or large buildings. 
Basement Retaining Walls:
These walls hold back soil and prevent the basement from collapsing inward. 
Beams:
Horizontal structural elements that support loads and transfer them to columns or other supports. 
Anchors:
Used to secure the substructure elements, like foundations, to the ground. 
Excavating Trenches/Disposal of Excavated Material:
This includes the work needed to prepare the site for the substructure. 
Frames:
Can be subassemblies that include components like foundations, piles, columns, etc. 
Other Substructure Components:
Abutments: Support the ends of a bridge. 
Retaining Walls: Used to hold back earth and create level platforms or decks.
