| Abstract: |
The China-Maldives Friendship Bridge is a Foreign Aid Project by the Chinese government. The bridge crosses the Gaadhoo Koa Strait, with a total length of 2km. The maximum water depth at bridge site is 46m and long-period waves have a significant impact on the project. The engineering geology is mainly coral reef layer. The main bridge is V-type pier six-span continuous rigid frame bridge ， the span arrangement is (100 +2 × 180 + 140 +100 +60) m, with the total length of 760m. The superstructure of main bridge adopts the hybrid girder composed of concrete beam + steel box girder. The main pier foundation of the main bridge is made of steel pipe composite pile. |
