| Abstract: |
The 799.00 meters long Gulshan Lake Bridge Project in Dhaka city, links Banani Road No. 11 with Gulshan Road Nos. 41, 43, 35A and 34. This necessitated a complex labyrinth-shaped layout of the road bridges for this project. The aesthetic issues arisen due to 400 skew crossing of the 90.00 meters long 4-lane main bridge has been solved by providing an elevated arch span for the middle span of the 3-span bridge. The tied bridge deck joints using stainless steel dowel bars are designed over the piers of the simply-supported interior spans, to distribute the horizontal forces due to braking, earthquake loading, etc. to the adjacent spans. Buried joints are used to enhance the driving comforts. This paper gives the technical details of the above features. |
