    Those kind of girders usually have welded sort of spikes (can't remember the name just now) on the top of the beam that the concrete pours around making a solid connection. Well, at least thats how it was done in Cali in the 1990's. Not sure about back east like Tennessee, maybe they just set the beams on top of the columns and anchor them, then place the driving slab right on top with cranes and call it good.

    Around here in new construction they weld Nelson studs to the top of the beams before the pour, but when the French a beam in I’m not sure how they do but the most certainly do French in beams. I could show you several just around central Ohio.

    That may not be true. If he went through the center of the lane and the truck went through the same spot it could be that the corner hit, and pulled the equipment up to where the whole thing struck.
     
    Tug Toy Thanks this.

    It definitely moved the truck toward the drivers side if you look at the pictures.
