| Abstract: |
The Kanchanaphisek Bridge is the fifth cable-stayed bridge to be built over the Chao Phraya River in the Bangkok Metropolitan area, and with a 500 meter long main span it is also the longest. The bridge is part of a 20 km long elevated highway, the Southern Outer Ring Road, which completes the Outer Bangkok Ring Road project. Building a 500 meter span cable-stayed bridge always presents the construction engineer with great challenges. This paper will present the main solutions and methods used in the construction of the longest cable-stayed bridge in South East Asia. Not only the bridge superstructure had to be erected in the shortest time possible, while not disrupting the important marine traffic on the Chao Phraya River, it also had to be built within very small tolerances to guarantee the integrity of the structure. |
