Abstract
Various factors in the fabrication and erection of the prefabricated parallel wire strand (PWS) used for most of the Honshu-Shikoku Bridges in Japan affect the quality and construction period. Several developments in these factors are presented and discussed. In addition, the advanced air spinning (AS) techniques used for the Shimotsui Seto Bridge in this project are also presented.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
