The Systematic Construction Method of Kao Ping His Cable-Stayed Bridge

Kao Ping Hsi cable-stayed bridge, which is purposely designed to be the landmark in the southern Taiwan after completion, is a single plane and single pylon cable-stayed bridge with an asymmetrical hybrid girder system composed of a 330m steel-girder main span and a 180m PC-girder side span. The construction of the bridge was completed in December 1999, which is three months earlier than the official preset schedule. Considering its size and construction difficulty, it is constructed in a quite short period. The purpose of this paper is to present the construction plan and schedule of several important parts of the Kao Ping Hsi cable-stayed bridge.
