The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Two parts to design that need to be done properly. The one everyone knows about is the bridge in its final configuration with live and dead (no pun intended) loads imposed. Then there's those pesky and sometimes quirky construction loads where the falsework has to support the green concrete until it reaches its design strength. Usually these construction loads are addressed by the contractors design engineers (hopefully they have some). Where I usta (new word) work we had a very strong temporary design department to take care of these things. Reed and Reed, well, probably not so good. In fact I once heard a story about a temporary bridge they built on the Golden Road up north that was, shall we say, a little bit shaky in the details. Who knows, I guess we'll find out in time.
