This
book is devoted to bridges that are built by incremental launching
methods, using prestressed composite materials. It integrates the
static, aesthetic, and economic aspects of construction techniques for
building these state-of-the-art structures. Bridge launching is a
comprehensive handbook, offering explanations of both the theoretical
and technological aspects of the construction process. Both beam bridges
and arch bridges are thoroughly analysed,and special theories aimed at
optimising static aspects, as well as local phenomena, are developed.
Construction assembly and pre-stressing methods for bridge segments and
launching techniques are described together with assessment of load
conditions, design assumptions by means of field monitoring and data
recording. Presented within this essential handbook are sections on
prestressed concrete bridges include cast-in-situ and segmental precast
structures, composite bridges include I-girder open sections and box
girders, and prestressed composite bridges includes stiffened and
corrugated-plate webs. Design and technological requirements of launch
equipment are discussed for the individual bridge types to provide more
detail for the reader. This invaluable book is a must-buy for all those
involved in bridge construction and innovative building techniques,such
as bridge owners, design offices, bridge consultants, and construction
equipment suppliers.
