Millau Viaduct France - Extreme Engineering

Millau Viaduct France (In French le Viaduc de Millau) is one of the most frightening civil engineering project. It is a large wire-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn not far away from Millau in France. It was designed by structural originate Michel Virlogeux and architect Norman Succour.One of the summit of this bridge is at a height of 343 meters)1125 ft) which makes it is the tallest vehicular connexion in the world.
The Millau Viaduct consists of an eight-period steel roadway supported by seven realistic pylons. The roadway weighs 36,000 tons and is 2,460 m (8,100 ft) extensive, measuring 32 m (100 ft) as much as possible by 4.2 m (14 ft) deep, making it the mankind’s longest cable-stayed deck. The six main spans each measure 342 m (1,120 ft) with the two outer spans measuring 204 m (670 ft). The roadway has a mount of 3% descending from south to north, and curves in a even section with a 20 km (12 mi) radius to give drivers happier visibility. It carries two lanes of shipping and one safety lane in each direction.

The pylons order in height from 77 m (250 ft) to 246 m (810 ft), and decline in their longitudinal section from 24.5 m (80 ft) at the evil to 11 m (36 ft) at the deck. Each pylon is composed of 16 framework sections, each weighing 2,230 tons. These sections were assembled on locale from pieces of 60 tons, 4 m (13 ft) broad and 17 m (56 ft) long, made in factories in Lauterbourg and Fos-sur-Mer by Eiffage. The pylons each mainstay 97 m (320 ft) tall masts.

The pylons were assembled first, together with some medial temporary pylons, before the decks were slid out across the piers by shadow-guided hydraulic rams that moved the deck 600 mm every 4 minutes. Then the masts were driven over the new deck, erected on top of the pylons, connected to the deck and the short-lived pylons removed.

Construction began on 10 October 2001 and was intended to take three years, but stand conditions put work on the bridge behind list. A revised schedule aimed for the traverse to be opened in January 2005. The viaduct was inaugurated by President Chirac on 14 December 2004 to vacant for traffic on 16 December, several weeks vanguard of the revised schedule.
