Concrete bridges are generally either arch or beam in structural type. The beam is by far the most common structural element used in bridges. An arch carries the load of the bridge, mainly by axial compressive thrust in the member developed by the resistance against spread of the arch at the abutments.
Concrete bridge shuttering refers to the temporary formwork or mould used to create the shape and size of the bridge components during construction.
Concrete railway bridges are generally either arch or beam in structural type. The beam is by far the most common structural element used in bridges. An arch carries the load of the bridge, mainly by axial compressive thrust in the member developed by the resistance against spread of the arch at the abutments.
Bridge Rehabilitation involves repairing, strengthening, or replacing existing bridges to improve their structural condition and functional capabilities.
