Abstract:The bowstring arch bridge is a bridge structure mostly commonly in the long-span bridge. Its construction methods are mainly divided into two types of pre-beam and post-arch and pre-arch and post-beam. Combined with the Taidong River Bridge Project, two construction methods of bowstring arch bridge are introduced, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two construction methods are compared and analyzed. The Taidong River Bridge spans a busy high-grade channel. Finally, the no-support construction scheme with the minimum impact on shipping is selected. The no-support construction method and the detailed construction process are introduced. The technical difficulties of the no-support construction of bowstring arch bridges are summarized. Its achievements can be referenced for the application of this method in similar projects.
