Construction Cost of Precast Segmental Bridges

Estimating the construction cost of a precast segmental bridge is a complex task that includes the analysis of costs, risks and opportunities of segment fabrication, transportation, and final assembly with cranes, lifting frames and self-launching gantries. In 134 pages, Construction Cost of Precast Segmental Bridges explains how to handle such a complex task. The companion spreadsheet includes 1004 cost items (yes, you have read well: one thousand and four) for a comprehensive analysis of costs, risks and opportunities.

Combined with Span-by-Span Construction of Precast Segmental Bridges (134 pages), the monographs provide 268 pages of exhaustive coverage of span-by-span construction. If then one adds Balanced Cantilever Construction of Precast Segmental Bridges (81 pages), the monographs provide 349 pages of coverage of all the construction methods and all the types of special equipment for precast segmental bridges.
