| Abstract: |
The paper addresses the use precast segment technology for concrete box bridges in the roadway infrastructure of Israel and the fabrication advantages achieved by reuse of segment mould on multiple projects. Ten bridges with different roadway width, superstructure height and span length are presented, showing the variability of the designed section and what modifications are required to the casting mould. Consideration is made for different equipment used in the balanced cantilever construction – gantry or ground cranes. Finley Engineering Group (FINLEY) has provided the design and construction engineering of the noted projects including: superstructure design, post- tensioning design, temporary support system, camber geometry and erection elevations. |
