The project included eight concrete or composite bridge structures with different numbers of decks. The concrete placement technology is presented for the following bridge decks： slabs cast-in-situ, composite with precast or VFT （prefabricated composite beam） beams and mixed with cast in situ slabs and VFT-WIB （filler beam） beams. Continuous concrete placement was adopted for almost all the bridge superstructures except the mixed-type decks where construction joints were necessary. To control shrinkage, formwork deformations and existing restraints, the concrete was poured in layers and in stages. The design pace of concrete placement was moderate to be regulated at site without compromising safety and quality. The placement methods enabled both efficient and safe concrete pours.展开更多
