Arched bridges with suspension brackets of cables are built over the river Ohta in Saint Petersburg and the river Ishim in Astana (Kazakhstan). Each semi-arch was carried out of separate units from supporting block of the arch tightening. There are given the formulas for calculating the precision of semi-arch jointing depending on the fabrication accuracy and dimensions of its elements, on the shape and size of the arch span. Calculation examples are given for the arch bridge construction over the river Ishim in Astana.
The specifics of geodesic network creation for bridge transition across Kama River in the vicinity of Kazan are discussed. The construction of geodesic network consisting of regular shape figures was not possible due to the great length of the bridge transition, features characteristics of the locality and the position of control points, which were chosen for the commodity of construction. Linear-angular network gaunt along the axis of the transition was created. The network was based on the control points located on the short area. Due to these circumstances many additional measurements were done to achieve desirable precision of point positioning. The most reliable line of the net was determined using several variants of adjustment. This line was chosen as the initial for final calculations. The level lines were created in winter time on ice because the control points were separated by rivers. The created geodesic net was used during the following construction of piers of the bridges.
