Abstract:

Baling River Bridge is the longest span steel truss girder suspension bridge in China. This bridge crosses valleys in mountainous zone of west China where mountains are high and slopes are steep. The clearance between the bridge deck and valley bottom is approximately 370m without water under the bridge, which brought about a number of difficult issues to the construction of both superstructure and substructure. This article introduces how a number of innovations in the design technologies had been developed in the course of design of Guizhou Baling River Bridge on the bases of the bridge construction conditions and the implementation of “safe, applicable, economical and aesthetically pleasing” design philosophies for the reasonable determination on the proposed bridge type.
