The steel launching nose designed for the longitudinal launch of the concrete section of the bridge supersturcture on the D35 highway in the Czech Republic is a flexible structure, allowing for subsequent variations due to its adaptable length. Designed to be connected to the concrete cross-sections by means of prestressing bars, it was analyzed as a solid member model and a spatial wall-beam model in RFEM. Ing. Petr Nečesal and Ing. David Marván from PIS PECHAL, s.r.o. are the authors. The cross-section details were created in SHAPE-THIN 8.
