Analysis of the Collapse of a Bridge Falsework
This paper presents the results of the investigation of the collapse of the falsework of a bridge in California. The bridge runs in the north-south direction and consists of two box girder bridges, each supporting three lanes, one in each direction of flow of traffic. The structures have three spans, with two piers in the middle and two abutments at the ends. The overall length of the bridge is 387 ft long, with piers as high as 12 ft and the box girder was 4.9 ft deep. The incident occurred during the placement of concrete in the second span of the right bridge. At the time of the incident, only 20% of the concrete for the bridge deck had been poured and the vertical supports in the falsework were only loaded up to 50% of their design loads.
