Freyssinet method of arch construction
Review of traditional practices and their disadvantages; Freyssinet's successful scheme: arch is poured on centers up to crown but instead of keying crown, hydraulic jacks are operated which force apart two halves of arch causing whole rib to lift clear of centers; bridge engineer then drops arch to theoretically correct position, keys it temporarily, awaits time when shrinkage has practically all taken place, reinserts jacks, makes adjustments and performs permanent keying. Before Am. Soc. Civil Engrs.
