Abstract

The paper presents the first of its kind bolted Bow String Girder Bridge with Stainless Steel IRS 450 CR across a Canal along a link Road. The Bridge utilizes 350 MT of Stainless Steel for all its structural Members. The problem statement was to provide a high-level bridge with increased vertical navigation clearance and not increase the Finished Road Level (FRL) subsequently to reduce the approach spans and the land acquisition cost. The requirement was to provide a 36 m long and 29 m wide Iconic light weight bridge which can be executed faster and have very high corrosion resistance and less maintenance (fit and forget solution) as the bridge is approx. 1.5 kms from the ocean. A state of the art integrated design of BSG with 3 arches, and precast prestressed slabs was proposed as a solution.
