Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The paper describes the development of the design of Kylesku bridge as a sequence of design studies and decisions, from studies of the location of the new bridge and of different types of structure to final design. The new bridge is a frame with v-shaped supports. It is built in concrete and the deck is a box girder that is prestressed. The bridge was designed to be built in stages and within constraints that were specified in the contract documents. The construction method that was used to achieve this is illustrated. (TRRL)
