▪ Cross camber = 2.5%
▪ Wearing Coat thickness = 65mm
▪ Pile Capacity = 400T (Compression) BASIC GEOMETRY

= 150T (Tension)
▪ Pile Length = 25m PRECAST PLANK DETAILS

U-GIRDER

▪ U Girder is more economical in terms of time and cost

▪ Volume of concrete can be reduced due to narrower cross section CABLE PROFILE DETAILS
▪ At least one span can be installed in a day against three days using the segmental
box girder method. GIRDER DETAILING
▪ It can be used where structure requires an increase in the vertical clearance beneath
the bridge.
