Design Standards, Construction Methods, and Problem Solutions
With the increasing demands of modern traffic, the frequency of reinforcement work for highway bridges and overpasses also rises. Traffic capacity can be improved by adding additional piers and distributing the bridge load more evenly across the existing ones.
A commonly used solution in bridge maintenance and stabilization involves using ultra-thin hydraulic jacks or self-locking hydraulic jacks to lift the bridge superstructure, replace the bearing pads, and finally lower it onto the new bearing positions.
