Abstract:
Incremental bridge launching is a competitive construction method in a wide range of spans and bridge dimensions. Its competitiveness also derives from the repetitiveness of operations, which can be further enhanced by optimizing the deck segmentation according to the industrialization possibilities of the site and the criteria illustrated in the article. Particular cases such as precast segmental incremental launching and superstructures launched onto arches are also discussed.
