Strategic location and importance of Padma Bridge2

• Padma Bridge is the highest priority and largest investment Project of Bangladesh.

• The Asian Highway Priority Route No.1 and Trans Asian Railway will be established through Padma Bridge.

• Padma Bridge will establish National, Regional and International connectivity through our national road corridors.

• After completion of the Padma Bridge, the National GDP of Bangladesh will be increased by 1.26% and Southwest regional GDP will be increased by 2.3% ( incredible )

Integration of Padma Bridge with Asian Highway Route Network.

The plan of the bridge is “ S “ shape which is the line of beauty

Main Bridge Total River Span length = 6.15 KmBridge width = 22m Two level steel composite BridgeBridge is Design to allocate space to fulfill its future transportation task in the best possible way.

Bridge Viaduct 10

Inland Bridge( Viaduct) lengthNorth End road viaduct = 1.48 kmSouth End road viaduct = 1.67 kmRail viaduct = 0.532m

This will be the biggest floor level on the river in Asia.

The lower Level Railway Deck11

• Dual gauge Rail Track• DFC loading• Double stack container train to fulfill present and future transportation task.• Speed for passenger Train– 160 Km/h and Goods train – 120km/h• Per day 80 No. train can cross.

Pile Arrangement14

Padma bridge pile foundation will be the deepest pile foundation of its type in the world.

14

• Seismic isolation reduces the seismic loads applied to the substructure – number of piles per pier reduced from 8 to 6.

• Plastic hinges do not form in the stem of the pier during a seismic event• For the deck, bracing can be eliminated and section sizes reduced

Cost Saving of Padma Bridge by using Triple Pendulum Bearing

OLE – Return period 100Yrs - No bridge damage. CLE - Return period 475Yrs - detectable damage but repairable.

Padma River is approximately 100 Km long.

Third largest river in the world (discharge 150,000m3/s, average sediment freight: 1 Billon tons/year).

Padma Bridge located 35km south-west of Dhaka.

River Morphology17

17

• The Padma River is a young river (200 years in its present course)• Complicated wandering river (changing appearance from single channel to

multiple braided channels)• South bank fine, easily erodible soil• In places very deep, but fast changing intervals of erosion and depositions• River separates the south-west region from the capital city and requires time

consuming ferry crossings to major destinations

The bridge will carry not only the rail and road traffic it will also be a bridge for “ stop and shop”.

This will be an ICONIC bridge – a magnet for tourism development in Bangladesh.
