    1. FUTURE TRENDS IN DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGES by Shiv Kumar Director/IRICEN

    2. Introduction Unprecedented developments both in the bridge technology as well as towards appearance. Technically, very long span bridges can be built with present-day materials. Spans are becoming bigger e.g. bridge on Chenab river in J & K, one of the longest arch span (480m) in the world. (Fig.1) Consideration of the entire life cycle justify driving the span upwards. Society increasingly willing to pay for the convenience and aesthetics of long span bridges. Cable-stayed bridges encroaching on the type of spans traditionally associated with suspension bridges. e.g. Longest cable stayed bridge constructed in the world in Japan (Tatara – 890m span). (Fig.2) 1,000m barrier breached by Stonecutters bridge in Hongkong and Sutong bridge in China and 1,200m span already planned. Growth in smaller suspension bridges with spans of perhaps 100m to 500m.
