CONSTRUCTABILITY CONCEPTS IN KUALA SELANGOR CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE IN MALAYSIA
The authors formulated a case study of the Kuala Selangor Cable Stayed Bridge to examine the application of the constructability concepts, especially during the conceptual planning and design phases of the project. This paper presents the advantages of implementing the constructability concepts and the barriers that were encountered when applying these concepts during the planning and design phases of this bridge project in Malaysia. The authors concluded that barriers to constructability implementation that are related to the owner were the major impediments in the application of constructability concepts during the early conceptual planning phase. The engineer's opinion was another factor behind nonapplication of other concepts. At the same time, many others were implemented due to the awareness and opinion of the engineer and his ability to control their application.
