A new concept of overhead movable scaffolding system for bridge construction

In the last decade, a research and development process, initiated in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto has brought out an innovative technology for bridge construction: Organic Prestressing. This new technology is now being applied to a brand new generation of movable scaffolding systems. The present paper presents a new concept of overhead movable scaffolding systems for in situ bridge construction, in which the scaffolding structure is similar to a “bowstring”, with the particularity of having an arched upper chord and an actively controlled lower chord.
