BRIDGES - CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES AND METHODS (CONCRETE AND STEEL)

The object of a good construction method should be to build a bridge in the safest possible way for the least possible expenditure. As in general the construction costs determine the cost of a structure, the construction methods used can become of importance and together with a reduction in labour costs, can make the old priority "lowest material expenditure" of secondary importance.
