| Abstract: |
Initiated by the Indian Roads Congress (IRC), the official body that is responsible for developing standards and codes for Roads and Bridges in India and an institution which represents the think- tank on the subject, IRC constituted a body of experts under the aegis of the B-9 Committee 'Specialised Bridge Structure including Sea-Link', to formulate a guideline for the design, construction, and maintenance of extradosed bridges. Currently, there are more than 30 extradosed bridges existing or under construction in India. Many more are in the pipeline, in bidding stage. This paper highlights the salient features of the provisions in the guideline that is recently published by IRC. |
