Abstract

The expansion work of the Tokyo International Airport is now going forward which will increase its capacity. Nine bridges are being constructed there to link terminal buildings and car parks as well as main roads. The Air-Side Bridge is a 2-span continuous steel cable-stayed bridge with a center span of 88.5m. This bridge has been designed taking its landscape into full consideration, particularly to match surrounding facilities, the characteristics of the airport itself, and so on. As the results, the bridge has been fabricated by all-weldind work at every joint on the site. Since the bridge is the first all-welded one in Japan, the execution has been fully controlled. This report presents the structural features and the work control system of that bridge and its results.
