The Passerelle des Anges Footbridge
Pont du Diable footbridge is made up of 15 precast Ductal segments, part of the ultrahigh performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) family, laid on falsework and assembled by prestressing. This chapter sets out the background and engineering before illustrating each stage of construction: production of the mould, factory casting of the segments, installation of the falsework, positioning and adjustment of the segments and installation of the prestressing and tuned mass dampers. Technological challenges relate in particular to: the geometric design of the parts, moulds and prestressing systems, the nature of the materials used and their experimental validation, the vibration behavior study, particularly aeroelastic behavior, site preparation and the installation, adjustment and prestressing methods, and the operating tests.
