What is the Balanced Cantilever Method? H1

Cantilever H2

This project is H3

The unique design of the Nanning Bridge considers aesthetics, performance, constructability, and economy. The bridge form provides a funicular
through-arch to support a curved span. The arch ribs and deck girder balance each other’s weight to provide a structure both of rational and efficient.
The design is validated by extensive engineering studies addressing overall static and dynamic system performance, construction stage, and the
strength and serviceability requirements of the structural components. The resulting structure can be described as a daring but rational concept,
supported by prudent engineering and construction execution. The bridge was opened to traffic on September, 2009.
