Abstract:

The paper deals with innovative technologies which have been applied for the first time in the design and construction of long span Latin American bridges like

  • deep water foundations with big diameter piles
  • prestressed concrete bridges built by launching
  • long span bridges with double steel composite section
  • cable-stayed bridges for full railways
  • protection of piers against ship impact.
