Rapid Construction of curved Bridge Spans using Super-Tee 4

Rapid Construction of curved Bridge Spans using Super-Tee

The project is to introduce Precast Super-Tee (U-shaped) curved girders as a substitute for straight girders currently in use for precast curved bridge spans. Typically in Pakistan the use of straight girders for curved bridge spans results in poor aesthetics, problematic construction and complex design. It is intended to ensure safe casting, pre-stressing and launching

Lecture notes STRUCTURAL CONCEPTS AND SYSTEMS FOR ARCHITECTS by Victor E. Saouma

There is a fundamental dierence between science and and technology. Engineering or technology is the making of things that did not previously exist, whereas science is the discov- ering of things that have long existed. Technological results are forms that exist only because people want to make them, whereas scientic results are informations of what
