The invention relates to a brand-new construction method of a mixed combined girder cable-stayed bridge. After the construction of the main tower, auxiliary piers, side piers, main bridge side span concrete beams and approach bridges, the mid-span steel girder members and prefabricated concrete decks of the cable-stayed bridges are transported from the ground via the approach bridges and main bridge side spans to Midspan. The truck crane also moves from the ground through the approach bridge and the side span of the main bridge to the front end of the completed combined beam in the mid-span, and lifts the components on the girder truck for cantilever construction. The bridge is hung with stay cables and tensioned for the first time. Construct the wet joints of the bridge deck, form the mid-span combined beam of this section, and repeat the construction until the main structure of the cable-stayed bridge is completed, and the bridge deck and the auxiliary structure of the main tower are constructed. The invention adopts the automobile crane, which can adapt to the construction of the wide bridge, and is convenient and flexible in use, and saves labor;

A method for erecting structures composed of rammed-earth. A method of rammed-earth building construction is disclosed wherein walls are post-tensioned to enhance the ability of the wall to receive lateral loading without failing in tension.Post-tensioning rods are anchored to a concrete footing, and temporary forms erected alongside the footing. A protective sleeve is disposed around each post-tensioning rod. An earthen mixture is placed between the forms and around the sleeves, and rammed by compaction in a series of stacked courses. When the rammed-earth wall has obtained the desired height, it is topped with a concrete bond beam through which the post-tensioning rods extend. Using the bond beam as a brace against which a retaining plate may push, retaining plates are disposed upon the bond beam and around the threaded upper ends of each rod. A nut is threaded upon each rod and tightened against the retaining plate to draw the rod into tension. The torque applied to the nut thus loads the wall in compression via the plates and bond beam. Thus compressed, the rammed-earth wall is less susceptible to tension failure.
