World's largest precast prestressed concrete bridge completed
Design and construction of Narrows Bridge over Swan River at Perth, Australia; bridge has five spans, 160 ft to 320 ft in length, and is fully continuous under live load; it is anchored only at north abutment; 6-lane roadway is 70 ft wide with 10 ft footpaths; piers rest on " Gambia" piles; longitudinal prestressing force is applied with external cables; vertical prestressing to reduce tensile stresses due to shear. (See also Surveyor v 118 n 3519 Nov 14 1959 p 925-6; Constructional Rev v 32 n 11 Nov 1959 p 18-25)
