Construction of Bridges



Materials suitable for the Construction of

Long-span Bridges

1. Stone – in arch masonry

2. Steel – in girder or box-section constructed in steel

plates and standard sections

3. Steel – truss constructed of standard sections

4. Reinforced Concrete – in arch or spanned forms5. Tensioned RC – in various forms

6. Precast – mainly in box-section girder



Common Bridge Forms



Simple Supported – span effective from 10m to 60mActual example – Route 3

Interchange at Au Tau, Yuen Long



Continuous Span – from 10m to 100m

Actual example – construction of a span of continual section

of elevated highway bridge at Route 3, Kwai Chung



Balanced Cantilever – span from 25m to 200m

Actual example – balanced cantilever bridge series

forming the approach to the Ting Kau Bridge

Au Tau Interchange



Balanced Cantilever Suspended Span – span from 50m to 300m



Steel Truss – 50m to 100m

Actual example –

part of Pearl River,

Guangzhou

Concrete Arch (ribbed or unribbed) – from 50m to 300m



Steel Arch – from

100m to 500m



The actual example – LuPoa Bridge, Shanghai (550m main span)



Cable stayed (multi-spanned) – from 50 to 500m per span

The 3-span cable-stayed Ting Kau Bridge



Cable stayed span – from 200m to 800m

Actual example – the connecting bridge from

Macau Mainland to the Island of Taipa in Macau



Example of box-sectioned

steel girder bridge



Structural Elements for Typical Bridges

1. Foundation –for bridge towers, portal frames or piers

2. Bridge Tower – the vertical supporting structure for cablesuspension or cable-stayed bridges

3. Pier – the vertical supporting structure for usual spanned bridges

4. Portal frame – cross beam between piers to support the deck

5. Bridge deck – the horizontal part of a bridge that support pedestrian or traffic activities

6. Bridge anchor – required only for suspension bridges tocounter resist the pull from the suspension cable

7. Suspension cable – for suspension and cable-stayed bridges

for the hanging, support or counter-balancing of the bridgedeck

Other methods to form the deck of bridges

1. Balanced cantilever method

2. Construct in-situ

3. Construct using precast beam

launching machine (viaduct)5. Construct using incremental launching method

Trends in the Construction of Bridges in HK



Construction of large and long-span bridges is of no doubt a part of the major infrastructure development for a city,

which is, again, a reflection of the economical climate and

development strategy of the area.

On the construction side, the limited land reserve in Hong

Kong does imposes stringent conditions especially where

the options and cost effectiveness of constructing a bridgeis concerned. To cope with these considerations, a few

world-class bridges over 1000m span are yet scheduled for

completion in the coming decade, in view of keeping Hong

Kong to be competitive in particular within the highly

economic-active region in the southern part of China. The

construction of these bridges is, without much choice, in the

form of either cable-stayed or suspension bridges.

The construction of other medium to short-span bridges are

becoming much popular recently as part of the highway

improvement strategy in Hong Kong.



p gy g g

The shortage of space for highway improvement works, the

involvement of complicated interchanging provisions, the

familiarization of bridge construction techniques in catering

various local constraints with acceptable cost, are factors that made

bridges of this type becoming popular.

Some inherited difficulties such as the requirement of large amount

of working spaces for the forming, transporting and storing of the

roomy precast elements; the operation of the launching works, or

arrangement for traffic diversion within existing busy roadway,

still makes roadwork under urban environments complicated and costly. Needless to mention working in environmental sensitive

locations such as where protection to natural habitats or rural

culture is required; or where waste, noise and dust problems are of ultimate concern.

The cost for constructing bridges are unavoidably high in

particular working within congested and complicated urban



particular working within congested and complicated urban

environment like Hong Kong.

As a tradition, bridges and elevated highway structures in Hong

Kong are mainly constructed in concrete. As a cost saving option,steel bridge, say, in hollow section, box-girder or any other

feasible design, may be alternative choices for highway bridges,

like those commonly used in Mainland China or Japan. Thesaving in initial cost and construction time of using such

alternatives may provide surplus capitals and expedite the

ongoing infrastructure projects, this is essential especially in theforthcoming years when the economic situation is expected to be

less favourable than before.
