DESIGNING STEEL FOR EASE OF CONSTRUCTION

The question is examined as to what extent the designer should consider the method to be used for construction when he is preparing the design. Four case histories of steel bridges provide examples, and conclusions are drawn about the appropriate involvement of the designer. The case studies include the Carnes Creek Bridge, the Pashleth Creek Bridge, the Alex Fraser (Annacis) Bridge (the world's longest span cable stayed bridge when it was constructed in 1986), all in British Columbia, Canada, and the Peace River Bridge, Alberta, Canada. The French title of this article is: Projet de ponts metalliques en vue d'une execution aisee. The German title of this article is: Zum Entwurf montagefreundlicher Stahlkonstruktionen. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 851274.
