Abstract

Abstract

The conventional method for installation of bridge girder in between river stretch or near coast sea/creek area is difficult, expensive and time consuming. An alternative scheme to overcome the above constraints has been proposed and engineering calculations those are necessary have been discussed. An example of practical application of the proposed method has been included and discussed at length so that this alternative method can be applied wherever it is practical. This scheme is economical, less time consuming, easy to implement and feasible with local infrastructure. Although the details presented here are for steel bridges, there is no reason that the same cannot be applied for concrete.
