• INTRODUCTION: -
Internships are key to building experience as a
student or recent graduate. Employers are
much more likely to hire someone
with internships and work experience rather
than someone with a generic resume, lacking
experience. It is important that you choose
you internships based on your interests and
career prospects.

 EXTRADOSED BRIDGE
• It is a structure that combines the main elements of both a
prestressed “ girder bridge” and a “cable stayed bridge”.
• It is mostly suited to medium length spans between 100
mtr to 500 mtr.
 ERECTION
• Erection is the action of erecting a structure or
any object.
• Erection of a bridge is done by four steps:
1) Dry matching
2) Back pushing
3) Gluing
4) Stressing
 Dry matching
• It means joining all the segments to make span by
interlocking their shear keys i.e. male and female keys.
Shear key
 Back Pushing
• After dry matching all segments are back pushed and their
alignment is set by surveying.
• Total station, prism rod (300 mm) is used for adjusting the
alignment.
Surveying
 Gluing
• Gluing is done with the help of P.T. beams.
• P.T. beams are used to hold the span after the gluing.
• These are also used to erect the span until stressing is done.

 Stressing OR Tensioning
• The tensioning of the tendons with the help of
hydraulic jack is known as “stressing”.
• Tensioning is of two types:
1) Pre-Tensioning
2) Post-Tensioning
• Pre tensioning is the tensioning of tendons before
the placement of the concrete.
• Post tensioning is the tensioning of the tendons
after the placement of the concrete.
• Basically it is the process to introduce internal forces
into a concrete in order to counteract the external
loads applied when the structure is put into use.
• These internal forces are applied by tensioning high
strength steel “Strands” also called “Tendons”.
• Diameter of one H.T cable is 15.2mm.
• In the stressing all the tendons are inserted into the
ducts(High density polyethylene pipes) which are
arranged in a proper before the placement of concrete
in the segment.
• Then the edges of tendons which are remaining
portion of tendons outside the segment are cut and
anchored against the outer edges of the concrete.
 Types of Post Tensioning
• Post tensioning is carried out in two ways:
1) Transverse Post Tensioning
2) Longitudinal Post Tensioning

• Transverse post-tensioning is done to strengthen the deck of segment

(diaphragm) in direction perpendicular to traffic flow. It's direction of
application is different from longitudinal post tensioning. It is usually done
in bridges where the deck width is large, which makes it difficult to design
the deck slab conventionally.
• Longitudinal post tensioning is done to strengthen the
whole span in similar direction to traffic flow.
• longitudinal post-tensioning helps keep the bridge deck
in compression and avoid problems such as leaking,
cracking, spilling, and subsequent rusting on the beams
at the transverse panel joints.
 Methods of Erection
• There are two methods of erection:
1) Under slung method
2) Launching Girder(Over slung method)
 UNDER SLUNG
• It is very popular way to erect the precast segmental bridges. It is
span by span method .
• It is economical and time efficient method.
• In this method the segments of the span is temporarily held on the
under slung trusses until they are self supporting.
• The truss frame are well suited for walkways and access scaffolds.
• They can provide for lateral and longitudinal movements of
individual segments as well as the entire spans.
• The segments are held on the mechanical jacks which are used for
all steps of erection and for lowering or move segment in upper
direction.
• It is used for short spans and curvy bridges.
 Launching Girder
• A launching girder is a special purpose mobile gantry crane used in
bridge construction.
• It is used to install precast box girders in highway bridge
construction projects.
• It is used for longest spans and smaller curves and a appropriate
place for its assembling and dismantling.
 Launching equipments
• It consist of a lifting devices and supporting structure
for lifting precast bridge segments in position for
assembling.
• It consist 3 types of support:
1) Front support
2) Middle support
3) Rear support
• It consist of main trusses that would move
horizontally along the trusses while suspending
precast segments and working platform for
assembling.
