Short-Line Match Casting of Precast Segmental Bridges
In 42 pages, this eManual introduces span-by-span and balanced cantilever construction and their influences on bridge design. Segmental precasting is all about standardization, and the eManual explores bridge design for modularity and the factors that drive the choice between precast segmental technology and other construction methods.
Short-Line Match-Casting of Precast Segmental Bridges explains short-line method, geometric design, generation of the casting curve, the geometry control of short-line match casting (inclusive of commercial software programs and how they work), post-casting operations and epoxy gluing.
The eManuals Project now includes 17 e-books, 4 books, 5 face-to-face courses (1 or 2 days), the exclusive articles of the Bridge Club, and the Bridge Industry, a collection of webpages of selected bridge owners, designers, constructors, educators and providers of materials, technology and services. Bridge Construction Technology, the LinkedIn forum of the project, hosts dozens of discussions within the bridge community.
Bridge owners, designers and construction professionals have downloaded eManuals from 42 countries on five continents to master business-driving topics and stay ahead of the game with clients, competitors and colleagues. The audience of the eManuals Project amply exceeds 50.000 bridge professionals in every corner of the world.
I do encourage you to discover the full potential of the eManuals Project and the wealth of knowledge & learning that it can bring to your firm, agency and personal career.

7 年Marco, Thirteen short span bridges with very tight curvature were match cast on the FDOT connection project with the FLL Airport with the eastern terminus of I-595 in Ft. Lauderdale in the late 1986-87 timeframe. Casting yard and storage site was approximately 15 miles away. Very interesting project and record keeping... unfortunately, there were saw cut and dismantled as the growth of the adjacent FLL Airport increased dramatically and the bridge configuration was modified. Thanks for this interesting reference...
