- Description
- In many cases
, bridge designers concern themselves only with checking the stability and member stress levels in the structure for
the in
-
service condition aft
er erection of the entire superstructure is complete. But many times the critical stress in a particular
component is encountered during the erection of the bridge where large unbraced lengths affect the stability of the partially
completed structure. This
module
describes typical erection methods and procedures and highlights some of the aspects that
should be considered by the designer. With this basic knowledge, the bridge designer can determine which, if any, of these
aspects are a concern for his/her pa
rticular design situation.
