Short-Term Anchorage (Contd)CAUTIONIf using transporters for anchorage, ensure winchcables are connected to the ramp bay load receivingpins only, or damage to equipment will result.(2) In addition to placement of BEBs along the downstream side of the bridge,the ramp bays must be secured at both riverbanks during bridge assembly.End span anchorage is necessary to prevent the bridge from creeping awayfrom the shore as a result of the impact of vehicular traffic driving on thebridge. If four transporters are available, position each transporter atapproximately a 45-degree angle to the bridge centerline at both ends of thebridge. (Refer to figure 1.) Using the front winch cable to the first load-receiving pin on the side of the ramp bay. (Refer to figure 2.) Pay in cable totake up slack, set parking brake, and chock wheels on each transporter.(Refer to figure 1.)
