In the case of metallic bridges which are made up of pre-cast components or of a pre-cast centre part, it is
common to build the wings in a subsequent stage. This can be done with deck flange form carriers. These are
heavy-duty form carriers as the jacks are able to withstand a maximum load of approximately 360 kN. Due to the
load borne by the structure, the forward-moving of the form carrier is achieved by means of pull or push auxiliary
devices.
A deck flange form carrier with these properties usually consists of the following parts:
o
Main structure: structure bearing the concrete load.
o
Forward-moving structure: secondary structure which effects the movement and bears the forces
during such.
o
Bracing: components that withstand wind effects and transverse movements.
o
Formwork: part in touch with the concrete shaping it, allowing its adjustment and opening if this is
required for the movement of the structure.
o
Rolling and levelling system: components that enable the rolling of the truss and its levelling at a
specific place, as well as its stripping.
o
Safety items and access: walkway platforms, handrails etc., depending on the requirements of each
project.
