... of materials, reducing the competitiveness of the construction method. Of the various devices used to reduce temporary stresses, adopting a launching nose has virtually become standard, permitting an e€ective control at competitive costs. The techniques of optimizing the nose±deck interaction are summarized...

In practice, this research is done by discretizing the movement of the deck, that is by calculating bending moment and shear force diagrams in a sequence of close support...
