World's Largest Composite Girder Structure Successfully Controlled in Complex Construction.
The article discusses how the construction of a large composite girder structure in China faced challenges due to its complex shape and curved design. The researchers implemented advanced techniques like prefabrication and floating vessel erection to control the girder's shape during construction. They successfully managed the geometric shape control of the girder at critical stages, such as assembling steel blocks, lifting the full span, combining steel and concrete, and closing the girder at the pier top.
