Steel-concrete bridges have been widely constructed within road networks due to their distinctive mechanical properties. Nevertheless, issues related to construction quality, such as concrete pouring ...

To address these challenges, this study developed a highly accurate and automated full-field deformation measurement method for the construction quality inspection of steel-concrete composite bridge ...

Additionally, the bridge includes three approach units consisting of cast-in-place concrete deck on built-up steel plate girders supported by aesthetic hammerhead piers and stub abutments founded ...

Designed by the English architect Norman Foster with engineer Michel Virlogeux, the bridge made of concrete and steel has a modern look with cables and pylons arranged in long triangular arches.

Spalling - the deterioration of steel reinforced concrete - has been found on two of the bridge's piers. One of the piers stands within a car park used by Network Rail and LNER employees, while ...

During the two blocks, the engineers will remove the steel girder on top of the piers and replace it with a 20-metre long concrete girder.

Construction began in 2022. Upon completion in 2025, it will set a new record as the world's tallest bridge. The 215-ton truss lifted on Monday will be the primary support for the concrete deck.

The Connecticut River Bridge Replacement project will enhance the bridge’s functionality and extend its service life to 100 years.
