The Erasmus Bridge is the result of an unusual design process in which architects and engineers interacted as equals. In the end this resulted in a bridge that evidences a full commitment to both technical and aesthetic standards. [7] Two box girder spines & transverse sections under the deck of the Erasmus bridge
Using a public selection process, they commissioned Santiago Calatrava in November 1999 to design the new bridge. Calatrava's response was an arched bridge with a large radius which was designed to be constructed off-site and installed entirely from the canal. [1]
Each segment of the bridge is designed to accept connections from both preceding and succeeding segments. The process in step 3 is repeated until the span is completed. Segmental bridge under construction, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA. The Pierre Pflimlin bridge being built over the Rhine south of Strasbourg.
Incremental launch bridge construction Incrementally-launched bridge construction Itz Valley Bridge near Coburg. Incremental launch is a method in civil engineering of building a complete bridge deck from one abutment of the bridge only, manufacturing the superstructure of the bridge by sections to the other side.
[2] [3] [4] Wallace Floyd Associates, sub-consultants to Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff, was the lead architect/urban designer and facilitated community participation during the design process. [5] [6] The bridge is a cable-stayed bridge in a harp configuration with cradles carrying each strand through their pylon.
The earliest bridges in North America were made of wood, which was abundant and cheaper than stone or masonry. Early wooden bridges were usually of the Towne lattice truss or Burr truss design. Some later bridges were McCallum trusses (a modification of the Burr truss). About 1840, iron rods were added to wooden bridges.
Bradfield and his staff were ultimately to oversee the bridge design and building process as it was executed by Dorman Long and Co, whose Consulting Engineer, Sir Ralph Freeman of Sir Douglas Fox and Partners, and his associate Georges Imbault, carried out the detailed design and erection process of the bridge.

A bridge management system (BMS) is a set of methodologies and procedures for managing information about bridges. Such system is capable of document and process data along the entire life cycle of the structure steps: project design, construction, monitoring, maintenance and end of operation. [1] [2]
