| Abstrait: |
Kuala Lumpur’s (KL) Traffic Dispersal Schemes offer the bridge designer and builder opportunities and challenges. Bridge and approach ramps fight for space to avoid structures, existing bridges, services, private land, roads and waterways. As a result of this, the geometry of the bridges have steep gradients, high super elevations, tight radii, irregular support positions and are multi-level. In addition, there is the constant increasing flow of traffic to cope with. As these bridges are significant to the City’s landscape, aesthetics is an important consideration whilst keeping cost under control. |
