FALSEWORK SQUEEZES BETWEEN BUILDINGS TO CARRY A VIADUCT

The paper reports how in the construction of prestressed concrete viaduct at England's White Cliffs of Dover the piers and falsework were placed between tightly packed dock buildings for the land sections and on piles for the overwater sections. The seven-span, 1,140-ft-long viaduct, consisting of twin prestressed concrete box girders, will take traffic to the docks for loading onto ferries and ships bound for continental Europe.
