  • Patent number: 4123485
    Abstract: An elongated elevated box girder and roadway structure is constructed in a number of individual elongated sections with the support structure and formwork being reused, in turn, for each section. Each section is constructed in a number of stages. Initially, a support structure is built up from grade or is mounted on permanent upright members of the structure being formed, such as piers or abutments. Formwork for the bottom slab and the upright outside webs of the box girders are placed upon the support structure. Concrete is poured into the formwork for the bottom slab and webs and, after being allowed to set for a given period, and posttensioned, if necessary, the formwork is stripped and the support structure is removed. The support structure and formwork are then moved and set up for the next section to be constructed. The roadway slab includes the top slab of the box girder and cantilever sections extending laterally outwardly from each side of the top slab.
