The disclosure relates to the technical field of bridge construction, in particular to a method for installing steel tube arches, which comprises the following steps: step S1, erecting steel tube arch assembling brackets; step S2, assembling a steel tube arch of longitudinally moving segment; step S3, installing temporary tie rods; step S4, dismantling the assembling brackets; step S5, longitudinally moving the steel tube arch of longitudinally moving segment; step S6, erecting an arch springing bracket and assembling small mileage arch springing segments; step S7, closing the steel tube arch; S8, arch falling and temporary auxiliary facilities dismantling; step S9, construction of concrete and suspenders in arch. The method for installing steel tube arches provided by the disclosure is safe, standardized and reliable, and the construction standard is prone to control.

A single-use or multi-use prefabricated pier top form for topping a concrete pier comprises a hollow mold with an upper portion in the desired shape of the finished pier top, a stepped-down tapered mid portion, and a lower mating portion for mating with the pier form so that concrete can be continuously poured to fill both the pier form and the pier top form at one time. Use of the prefabricated pier top form results in substantial time and material savings because the top of the pier residing above ground can be formed at the same time as the footer and pier are formed replacing the need to form a separate pier top after the pier and footer have been filled with concrete.

Bridge systems and methods for constructing bridges having overhang surfaces employing generally rectangular, precast, prestressed concrete panels. One method includes delivering a plurality of generally rectangular, precast, prestressed concrete panels to an installation site, and delivering one or more support beams to the installation site, each support beam having a support and a base. The concrete panels are positioned on the supports of the one or more support beams with an overhang panel section and a traffic panel section. The concrete panels are then connected to the support beams by positioning steel reinforcement in block outs or voids, pouring unsolidified concrete into the voids, and curing the unsolidified concrete to form an overhang traffic surface. Bridges constructed employing the precast, prestressed concrete panels and methods. Other bridge systems employ prestressed concrete L-walls and double-T members, where weight-bearing L-walls have pockets for webs of the double-T members.

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.

A formwork system, including a plurality of side formwork elements configured to confront a concrete structure, a horizontal formwork panel configured to support the concrete structure, and at least one working platform, wherein the system is configured to be split in a longitudinal direction and stricken or cycled from the concrete structure in two discrete parts.
