DESIGN OF THE BARAM COMPOSITE CABLE STAYED BRIDGE, SARAWAK, MALAYSIA

The new bridge across the Baram River in Sarawak, East Malaysia has an overall length of 1026m comprising three cable-stayed spans of composite steel and concrete construction with twelve approach spans of prestressed concrete I girders. The cable-stayed section has spans of 132m, 330m and 132m with two H-shaped reinforced concrete towers located adjacent to each bank of the river. This paper outlines the development of the design for the bridge, which was shaped by the poor foundation conditions and the requirement for a wide shipping clearance. (a)
