The Tower of Cable Stayed Railway Bridge Over Anji River

In the high seismic hazard region of Kashmire, close to the Himalayan mountains, an important cable stayed railway bridge, with a main span of 290 m crossing the Anji valley 190 m above the river bed, is under construction. Due to the particular orography of the valley, the bridge shall have an asymmetric structural scheme, with a 200 m high single tower and 20 m diameter well foundation. The main features of the already completed tower will be illustrated more specifically with reference to heavily stressed post-tensioned transition pieces..
