New Bridge Design in Malaysia Ensures Safety and Efficiency for Commuters.
The Second Penang Bridge in Malaysia is a cable-stayed bridge with a unique design to ensure its strength and safety. The bridge has two tall pylons and a wide main girder made of prestressed concrete. The pylons support stay cables that help hold up the bridge. The foundation of the bridge is made of large bored piles to keep it stable. The researchers used a special design scheme to optimize the construction and ensure the bridge can handle heavy loads. By carefully calculating the load-bearing capacity and analyzing the structure, they were able to make sure the bridge is safe for use.
