CONSTRUCTIO N OF EXTENSION OF SOUTHERN EXPRESSWAY,
SECTION - 4 MATTALA TO HAMBANTOT A VIA ANDARA WEW A
Sub: The Clarification of CH iculation for Falscwork of BRI-04 (Pl5 and Pl6 .P ier Head)

This refers to your letterNo:FSDIS4-CHEC-2155 dated 19th October,20 17 regarding the

comments on calculation for falsework of BRI-04. Now we are submitting the required detail for
your review and approval.

You are hereby kindly requested to approve our Method Statement of Pier Head Construction at
BRI-04(Pier 15, Pier 16).

Your earli est reply on thi s regard would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

Yours faithful ly,

 The Clarification of Calculation for Falsework of BRI -04(P15 and P16 Pier Head)

The internal force value caused bydead load that quoted in the Enginee r's letter is from the
Contractor's previous submitted ca lculation. Th is value was inputted through Midas/civil, which
in cludes the total internal force caused by dead load of th e superstructure, such as self-weight of
I beam, diaphragm, bridge deck and pavement, etc. In the combination of 1+2+4a, it should only
consider the load of the bridge erection machine and the dead load of superstructure, such as
se lf-weight of I beam.
After checking calculation by Contractor, the bending moment caused by the self-weight of beam
is shown as follows (maximum value is 2938kN.m}:

To sum up, the internal force of combination 1+2+4a meets th e requ irements of the Specification,
so the structure is safe.
