| Abstract | A rational study of the design and the as-built construction o f the King Taksin Bridge, Bangkok has been presented. A detail study o f the design of the prestressed continuous concrete box girder superstructure of the bridge was carried out. The usual beam theory was used for the preliminary analysis and design of the longitudinal flexural and s hear stresses. A rigorous method, e.g. finite strip analysis, was required for the final analysis of the bridge system. The design includes specifying the dimensions of the cross-section before analysis. The bridge was built oy two different construction method as, the incremental launching method for the access viaducts and the conventional cast-in-situ method for the main bridge. A detailed study of the incremental launching method and the as-built construction steps of the bridge system is d one . The incremental launching method was adopted essentially to avoid the interference with the traffics during construction. The advantages of precast construction and cast-in-situ construction are combined in this method. The construction steps are discussed and conclusions are made. |
