Side-Shifting Gantries for Balanced Cantilever Bridges

Side-Shifting Gantries for Balanced Cantilever Bridges

Simultaneous erection of adjacent decks with side-shifting self-launching gantries is lowering the entry threshold of balanced cantilever construction to 50-55m constant-depth spans.
Thermal Warping of Precast Segmental Bridges

Thermal Warping of Precast Segmental Bridges

Although thermal warping may adversely affect the durability of precast segmental bridges, AASHTO standards and the ASBI Construction Practices Handbook neglect this effect.
