Concrete Bridge Development Group Technical Guide No 16 - Temporary Works for Concrete Bridges

摘要

TG16 provides a review of the range of temporary works used in the construction of concrete bridges. It provides a consolidated source of guidance on these temporary works and supplements, with further references for more detailed information. The guide aims to supplement available guidance where appropriate and is targeted at both temporary and permanent works designers, clients and contractors. The range of temporary works used for concrete bridges both in the UK and overseas is described. While TG16 recognises that all projects are unique, it aims to provide clarity of the relationship between permanent and temporary works designers within the overall construction engineering process. It describes how decisions over the construction methodology can have a significant impact on the final state of stress within a concrete bridge and therefore the permanent works design.
