CONT

Pont à poutres caissons. C'est un type de pont très en faveur à l'étranger, mais qui est assez peu employé en France parce qu'il exige une fabrication méticuleuse, donc onéreuse (...) Ces ponts sont constitués par un ou plusieurs caissons de hauteur constante ou variable, composés de tôles soudées, raidies longitudinalement et transversalement.

OBS

poutre caisson : poutre à section transversale fermée et évidée.
