The present invention relates to a method for launching/constructing a bridge using assembly of a precast bottom plate and a concrete-filled steel tube truss girder, wherein a CFT truss girder and a precast bottom plate are provisionally assembled, thereby forming a segment, and then a plurality of segments are successively launched, thereby constructing a bridge.

The present application describes a bridge sliding device and construction system. The device includes a slide rail assembly, a first sliding component on the rail, and a second sliding component on the first. The second component locks at the start of the first, and the bridge deck truss's weight causes the first component's end to tilt slightly, allowing it to easily cross the junction between the temporary support platform and the bridge pier. This facilitates the smooth crossing of both the first and second components over the junction. Once the first sliding component is in place, the second component unlocks and continues sliding, increasing the travel distance of the bridge deck truss. The system ensures smoother movement of the components, enhancing construction efficiency.

A method for erecting a portion of a transportation structure including two assemblies of tube segments, capable of being placed under low air pressure and through which pods may travel substantially free of air friction, the method including: (a) erecting a substructure including a first plurality of girders forming a first transportation pathway, a second plurality of girders forming a second transportation pathway and a plurality of platforms forming a service pathway, the erecting step including conveying with vehicle(s) the girders and platforms along the first and/or second transportation pathway, positioning them and having the vehicle(s) return along the service pathway, (b) conveying, with vehicle(s), the tube segments along the first and/or second transportation pathway, positioning them and having the vehicle(s) return along the service pathway. A portion of a transportation structure is also provided.
