High-Speed Railway Bridges in Italy: the Modena Viaducts

Enjoy this long publication (2011, IABSE Structural Engineering International) on full-span precasting of the Modena Viaducts for the TAV high-speed network in Italy.
Incremental Launching of Cable-Stayed Bridges

Incremental Launching of Cable-Stayed Bridges

Incremental launching over temporary piers offers multiple advantages over conventional balanced-cantilever construction of cable-stayed bridges.
Introduction to Mechanized Bridge Construction

Introduction to Mechanized Bridge Construction

Explore modern construction technology that saves time, labor and costs, reduces risk, and increases the value and quality of bridge projects.
Introduction to Movable Scaffolding Systems (MSS)

Introduction to Movable Scaffolding Systems (MSS)

Span-by-span casting with MSS is a high-quality alternative to precast segmental construction, and definitely a more affordable technology in medium-length bridges.
Introduction to Span-by-Span Erection of Precast Segmental Bridges

Introduction to Span-by-Span Erection of Precast Segmental Bridges

Initially conceived for in-place casting, span-by-span construction was soon extended to self-launching gantry erection of precast segmental bridges and span-by-span casting with MSS.
Launch Bearing Misalignment in Launched Bridges

Launch Bearing Misalignment in Launched Bridges

In 11 pages, eManual and companion spreadsheet explain how to analyze the longitudinal and transverse effects of misaligned launch bearings without 3D finite-element models.

Launched Bridges (2-day course)

Launched Bridges (2-day course)

Host Dr. Rosignoli in your offices for a true learning experience to train bridge teams in modern bridge design and construction technology while meeting continuing education objectives.
Lights and Shadows of Mechanized Bridge Construction

Lights and Shadows of Mechanized Bridge Construction

Enjoy this long article on the trans-disciplinary nature of modern bridge engineering and the need for adequate technical culture in all parties involved in mechanized bridge construction.
Long-Span Casting with Movable Scaffolding Systems (MSS)

Long-Span Casting with Movable Scaffolding Systems (MSS)

Four-phase casting of long prestressed-concrete spans saves costs, shortens the span cycle time, extracts activities from the critical path, lightens the MSS and simplifies its operations.
