| Abstract | This manual is intended to serve as a reference. It will provide technical information which will enable Manual users to perform the following activities: • Describe typical erection practices for girder bridge superstructures and recognize critical construction stages • Discuss typical practices for evaluating structural stability of girder bridge superstructures during early stages of erection and throughout bridge construction • Explain the basic concepts of stability and why it is important in bridge erection • Explain common techniques for performing advanced stability analysis along with their advantages and limitations • Describe how differing construction sequences effect superstructure stability • Be able to select appropriate loads, load combinations, and load factors for use in analyzing superstructure components during construction • Be able to analyze bridge members at various stages of erection • Develop erection plans that are safe and economical, and know what information is required and should be a part of those plans • Describe the differences between local, member and global (system) stability |
