Bent Method
Bent Method
Advantages
1. The most basic construction method and easy for geometrical
control.
Disadvantages
1. Impossible to use under the girder during the construction period.
2. Depends on the ground condition (flat and firm ground
condition ).
3. Not suitable for high piers or heavy weight girder (ex. Large-block).
Up to 40m & 200ton
Bent Method
• Bent Installation
Bent Height : L L≦ 10m Plane Bents(Single Type)
L≧ 10m Cubic Bents(Double Type)
Ground Condition
Firm => Spread foundation (Steel plate or concrete)
Soft => Pile foundation (H-pile or Steel-pipe Pile)
Bent Height: Exact Calculation!
Bent Method
Bent (Concrete foundation) Bent (Pile foundation)
Bent Method
• Girder Erection
Crane Type : Ground condition Firm => Truck Crane
Soft => Crawler Crane
very soft => another erection method
Crane Capacity : Depend on
=> weight of the girder and working radius
Bent Method
Under construction
Bent Method
• Girder Erection Completed
Falsework(Scaffolding)=>joint part & Under the Girder
Joint Connecting
Joint Painting
Dismantling of Bents
Drainage attachment
Launching Method
Launching Method
Advantages
1. Not be influenced by the variable conditions under the girder.
Disadvantages
1. Spread & wide back yard is necessary.
Preparation Work
=> Back Yard Compaction (against the Dead-Load)
Preparation Work
=> Steel Plate or Concrete Base construction
=> Depend on the Firmness of ground condition and Dead-Load
=> Decided by Calculation
Launching Method
Preparation Work
=> Bent Installation & Shoe Setting
=> Installation of Hydraulic Jack for launching by the crane
Launching Method
Under launching
Launching Method
Under launching
Launching Method
• Completion of Launching
=> Girder shall be received by connection girder
Launching Method
• Preparation Work
=> Ground Levering for Bent Erection span
=> Accuracy Measurement of the Pier
(Span,Width,Elevation,etc)
• Bent Installation
• Erection work for side span as a counter weight
=> from Ground Level by the crane
Traveler Crane Method
Displacement:Large
Traveler Crane Method
Disadvantages
1. Long construction period
2. Difficult to control of the displacement under construction
3. Heavy equipment
