Abstract
A support plate for bridges and ramps having a roadway or a walkway has two longitudinal supports defining lateral sides of the support plate in the longitudinal direction of the support plate. A plurality of transverse members having acting surfaces constituting the roadway or walkway and having a first and a second free end is connected with the first and the second free ends to the longitudinal supports so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and parallel to one another. Each of the acting surfaces is slanted relative to the longitudinal direction and displaced by an increment of displacement with respect to neighboring ones of the acting surfaces in a stepwise manner over the height of the lateral sides.

A support plate for bridges and ramps having a roadway and/or a walkway, said support plate comprising:
- two longitudinal supports defining lateral sides of said support plate in a longitudinal direction of said support plate;
- a plurality of transverse members having acting surfaces constituting the roadway and/or walkway and having a first and a second free ends, said transverse members connected with said first and said second free ends to said longitudinal supports so as to be perpendicular to said longitudinal direction and parallel to one another, wherein said transverse members are hollow profiles;
- each of said acting surfaces being slanted relative to said longitudinal direction and displaced by an increment of displacement with respect to neighboring ones of said acting surfaces such that said acting surfaces are stepped in said longitudinal direction;
- and
- connecting elements for connecting said transverse members to one another, said connecting elements each comprising a plate with two sides and two projections, each said projection connected to one said side of said plate so as to be positioned in a common plane.
