DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE SUNGAI PERAK BRIDGE, MALAYSIA

This paper describes the design and construction of the 160 m span prestressed concrete bridge over the Perak River in West Malaysia. The bridge is founded on large diameter steel piles, driven to a depth of 90 m, and its superstructure was built by the balanced cantilever method, using in-situ concrete units. Prestressed concrete viaducts were also constructed, using precast beams and an in-situ concrete deck. Reference is made to the preliminary planning for the project, the progress achieved during construction, the materials used and the results of horizontal load tests applied to the foundation piles which provide protection from ship impact.
