The pier of MORAČICA Bridge adopts the form of variable cross section of one limb-two limbs,and the highest of which is 161m.In this project,the construction technology of hydraulic self-climbing formwork is applied.The Moracica Bridge is located in a grand canyon where is a wind channel and with great wind all the year round,especially in the winter and spring season,the wind can reach force 7-8 level even up to 11 gale.Therefore,the effect of wind on the hydraulic self-climbing form work technology should be considered during the construction of the pier.In the paper,relying on the construction of pier of Moracica Bridge in Montenegro North-South Highway Project,the key technical measures adopted in the construction of high pier in severe wind environment are discussed.
