Construction

It is one thing to design a bridge.  It is another thing to build it.  Planning and executing the construction of a bridge is often very complicated.  An incomplete structure is often subjected to stresses and oscillations that would not arise after completion.  The construction work is potentially a grave hindrance to existing traffic and to normal life in the area, especially when large local fabrication works have to be installed. 

This web-site includes very little material about bridge construction, because the subject is so varied and so specialist.  As soon as possible, some useful links will be provided, and if possible, some simple explanations as well.
