Dear ASDF
Thanks for your Eamil reply. However, can you let me know the span of the bridge and the type of scaffolding for the bridge you were involved with. If you poured in the manner you have described then the "U"section formed by the webs and the bottom flange would have been fairlystiff compared to the supporting flexible scaffolding and some considerable weight of the top flange would have been carried by the bottom falnge. How did the bottom flange and the webs i.e. "U" section carry the stresses due to this weight. Please write me in detail when you find time. Many thanks again.

After curing, the flange being supported by the pile system, became an excellent work platform to form and pour the webs, two internal plus the external, and the top flange, which was placed using a traveling form system. The overhangs were cast using another traveling form system cantilevered from the top flange.
After curing, a considerable amount of post tensioning, both longitudinal and transverse, was completed.
As best I recall, the top flange was 58’, including the 14’ overhang on each side, the bottom flange 22’, and the webs about 9’.
