Completed falsework: Decking and some formwork has been added. The illustrations are of modern pipe-column falsework, used to support the formwork for a post-tensioned reinforced concrete flyover connector for the eastern span replacement of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. When the supports are complete, wood beams and plywood or reusable ...
Right: Northern columns, falsework, and formwork (westbound to tunnel upper deck). Late 2011 Progress: A portion of the SAS span is seen the bottom of the image. Late Summer, 2012: The westbound link falsework and formswork were disassembled and are now used to construct the eastbound link (center of image).
Bridge failure investigated by the Mexican company Mexpresa, and American company Modjeski and Masters Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse: Sweetwater and University Park, Florida: United States: 15 March 2018: Concrete Pedestrian Bridge Partially constructed concrete truss bridge, a rare design.
In August 1972 the falsework that had supported the westbound carriageway deck pour was moved over to the eastbound carriageway. [1]: 113 The two structures were separated by a gap of just 2 feet 10 inches (0.86 m). [1]: 111 The falsework was dragged across on a temporary track. It was inspected and some defects were rectified before it was put ...

Shoring is designed to prevent collapse where shielding is only designed to protect workers when collapses occur. Concrete-structure and stone-building shoring, in these cases also referred to as falsework, provides temporary support until the concrete becomes hard and achieves the desired strength to support loads.
In the self-anchored suspension bridge, however, the cable must be anchored to the bridge deck, which has yet to be built and will not bear its own weight; ergo, falsework must be employed until the final method of suspension is possible. The cables apply strong axial forces onto the bridge girders, which may require strengthening.
