<p>The new 30 km Cadangan Projek Jambatan Temburong (Temburong Bridge Project) in Brunei will connect the relatively isolated district of Temburong with the more developed Brunei-Muara district. The project is procured under several different construction contracts. Contract CC3 involves construction of 2 cable stayed bridges over cross navigation channels within Brunei Bay and connecting structures at the Brunei-Muara shoreline.</p><p>Despite the differences in span arrangements and deck widths, the 2 concrete deck cable stayed bridges adopt similar details which not only provides a unified theme to the crossing, but also facilitated efficient design methods and construction planning. The towers adopt Islamic architectural principles by incorporating pointed arch shapes and symbolising the physical connection between the four districts of Brunei.</p><p>Precast segmental connecting bridges carry the main alignment through towards the Mentiri ridge in Brunei-Muara, whilst on and off ramps connect down to the existing shoreline road.</p><p>Construction planning is well advanced for the cable stayed bridges and the connecting structures.</p>
<p> The Temburong Bridge Project is a 30km long dual two-lane highway crossing over the Brunei Bay. It will connect the relatively isolated Brunei district of Temburong to the other three Brunei districts. The main objective of the project is to stimulate economic growth in the Temburong region by connecting it to the country’s airport and ports. The alignment crosses two navigation channels resulting in the need for two cable stayed bridges – the Brunei Channel Bridge (145m main span) and the Eastern Channel Bridge (260m main span).</p><p> The design of these cable stayed bridges is one of the first applications of the Eurocode to a fully concrete cable stayed bridge. Both cable stayed bridges draw on strong Islamic architectural influences from the region to form a tower shape that is unique and instantly recognisable.</p>

Sie wird den relativ isolierten Distrikt Temburong mit den anderen drei Distrikten Bruneis verbinden. Hauptanliegen des Projekts ist die Stimulierung von ökonomischem Wachstum in der Temburong Region, indem sie an den Flughafen und Seehafen des Landes angebunden wird. Die Trassierung erfordert die Überquerung zweier Schiffahrtsrouten. Dies wird mit der Anordnung zweier Schrägkabelbrücken ermöglicht, der Brunei Channel Brücke (145 m Hauptspannweite) und der Eastern Channel Brücke (260 m Hauptspannweite).Die Bemessung der beiden Brücken stellt eine der ersten Anwendungen des Eurocode auf Schrägkabelbrücken mit Betonüberbau dar. Optisch sind die beiden Brücken geprägt von der islamischen Architektur der Umgebung, die Pylonform ist ein besonderes Erkennungsmerkmal der Brücken.
<p>The design of cable supported bridges of short to medium spans requires the resolution of how to separate the load and effect of the major components of permanent loading: Gravity and Prestressing. <p>The Eurocode allows to use the same Ultimate Limit State factor for the Gravity “G” and the Prestressing “P” for flexible bridges and prescribes to use different factors for stiff bridges. <p>However, there is no clear definition in the Eurocode of when a bridge can be considered flexible. The paper introduces the concept of the Stay Force Response Index (SFRI) to define the degree of flexibility of the bridge and describes a method for the definition of the prestressing partial factor derived through a parametric analysis of concrete cable supported bridge. <p>This method, which is generally applicable beyond the Eurocode, would allow the designer to have the confidence in undertaking optimized hence, more economic and more sustainable designs.
