| Abstract: |
Beipanjiang Bridge is located above the Beipanjiang gorge of depth 565m on the border of Guizhou and Yunan Province, Southwest China. The Bridge main span length 720m is currently the second longest span steel truss girder cable stayed bridge in the world. After the bridge opened to traffic at the end of 2016, the journey time from one side to another is substantially reduced from the original 3 hours to 5 minutes. In the light of the characteristics of the steep terrain variation, karst geology and complicated local wind environment, corresponding studies and investigations were carried out which included the bridge type scheming, main deck structural system, deck erection method as well as freeze alarming technology of stay cable during operation period. This paper describes the salient features, key design and construction technology innovations of this project. |
