Feasibility study and preliminary design of Bataan–Cavite interlink bridge, Philippines Available to Purchase

The Bataan–Cavite interlink bridge (BCIB) is a proposed 32 km sea-crossing bridge at the mouth of Manila Bay, Philippines. The BCIB will connect Bataan to Cavite in order to unlock opportunities for economic growth and expansion outside Metro Manila. It comprises land viaducts, marine viaducts and two cable-stayed navigation bridges of 400 m and 900 m spans. The BCIC has to cater for extreme conditions of deep water, seismicity, typhoons and ship impact. Feasibility studies, the preliminary design of the link and how the bridge options were assessed in order to achieve an optimum solution are described in this paper.
