So first for our bridge design, our bridge is going to be a two span concrete bridge with each span measuring 12 meters.
00:11
Our deck is going to be eight meters wide and the internal support system will be six meters high.
00:20
This will ensure that our bridge can carry the required live load.
00:25
Then second for our concrete mix, considering our exposure conditions, we see that a high performance concrete mix should be used.
00:33
This concrete mix should have a high resistance to our chloride penetration, low water cement ratio, and high compressive strength.
00:45
This mix could include supplementary cementous materials like fly ash or slag cement, which are byproducts from other industries.
00:57
Then for our reinforcing regime, the bridge should be reinforced with steel bars to ensure its durability and strength.
01:06
They should be coated with epoxy to protect them from corrosion, especially considering the tidal environment...
