Temburong Link – design of cable stayed bridges against extreme loading conditions

Abstract

<p>Brunei Temburong Link is one of the largest infrastructure projects currently being constructed in South-East Asia. It is a 30km dual 2-lane road link which will connect the main Brunei districts of Muara, Tutong and Belait with the isolated district of Temburong which is separated by the Malaysian state of Sarawak. The project is procured under different construction contracts and involves construction of two cable stayed bridges over navigation channels within Brunei Bay.</p><p>The paper will describe the design of the two cable stayed bridges with particular focus on the design against extreme loading conditions, namely vessel collision, seismic and fire conditions. The design was carried out to Eurocodes.</p>
