Abstract:
Construction of this twin box-girder bridge over the Tanaro River in Alessandria, Italy, not only used the innovative segmental launching method, it also included a variation in which the first box-girder was launched and then shifted to the side to make way for the second box-girder. This allowed the construction of only one set of temporary supports, decreasing the cost and shortening the construction duration for the project.
