According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scaffolding arrangement to be attached to a deck structure, comprising a set of aims (2) including a carrier beam (5) for carrying the working levels and support structures needed in work, an attachment frame (1) for attaching the set of arms to the upper surface of the deck structure and platforms (103, 104, 105) for forming working levels.

A longitudinal modular system with boards (3) for underpass bridges for installation of two tracks for railway circulation in which the board (3) is placed between two consecutive piers (4) and comprises a pair of longitudinal beams (1), which themselves comprise a lower wing (2c), for supporting on the piers (4), a core (1b) and an upper wing (1a); and a plurality of transversal slabs (2) that are attached to the lower wings (2c) of the longitudinal beams (1), thus forming a

U-shaped configuration, where the length of the longitudinal beams (1) is essentially similar to the span between two piers (4), and the configuration of the board (3) has a transversal, U-shaped section such that the railway circulates inside said U shape. The invention also describes the method for constructing same.

A precast concrete beam is provided in construction of a long span bridge structure. The beam is formed of a plurality of aligned modular elements each formed of prestressed UHPC mix as a unitary body. The UHPC mix includes discontinuous fibers distributed randomly throughout a concrete matrix. Each modular element is aligned modular and connected by an epoxy grout to adhering adjacent element joints. Finally, post-tensioning of the entire beam reinforces and affixes the plurality of aligned modular elements into a single long span beam.

Stay-in-place forms and methods and equipment for installing thereof. A concrete form includes a vertical component and a horizontal component, the vertical component located substantially perpendicular to the horizontal component. Also, the form includes an interior surface, at least a portion of the interior surface providing a form for supporting uncured concrete; wherein the uncured concrete forms a concrete structural portion upon curing of the uncured concrete; and wherein the interior surface remains attached to the concrete structural portion after curing. The form may include inserts and compatible form attachments. Also, forms including recesses may be utilized to reduce the weight thereof. Lifting equipment and accessories may be utilized to lift the form from a form holder and set same in place. Forms contain the work area as soon as it is installed to minimize fall hazards and the time, costs, and downtime associated with installation of safety measures.

An apparatus for adjusting a haunch height and related systems and methods includes a support angle. The support angle includes first and second flanges, and a surface of the first flange includes a hole. The apparatus also includes a coil rod and a rotatable nut.

The bridge construction system and method according to the present invention provides a lightweight, efficient, economical, long-lasting, and easily implemented composite steel structure that can be filled with concrete in place for the construction of pedestrian and smaller road bridges, specifically those found in rural areas. The bridge construction system of the present invention is unique in that it is a steel-frame reinforced composite bridge with decking and rebar caging that provides a permanent, non-removable form for poured-in-place concrete. The composite nature of the bridge allows for installation of the bridge to take place in one day, while the entire process from site preparation such as grading and excavation to cleanup takes a week or less. The quick installation of the bridge is designed to have a minimally invasive impact on the surrounding environment.
