New Construction Techniques Ensure Stronger, Safer Curved Steel Bridges!
The researchers studied how to build a curved steel box girder cable-stayed bridge correctly. They used a method to control the bridge's shape and internal forces during construction. By following specific angles and assembling parts without stress, they ensured the bridge would be strong and stable. They also adjusted the cable forces to balance the bridge's weight. The study found that the bridge's shape met design requirements, internal forces were good, and cable force differences were minimal.
