Plusieurs types de ponts à poutres continues peuvent être utilisés dans le cas de travées multiples. La continuité présente de nombreux avantages : absence de joints, réduction des déformations, économie de matière, meilleure résistance aux états ultimes, etc. mais les tabliers à poutres continues sont plus difficiles à construire que les viaducs à travées indépendantes. 3, record 1, French, - pont%20%C3%A0%20poutres%20continues
