 INTRODUCTION
• Moveable Steel bridge is a bridge that can change position
to allow for passage of boats below the bridge and vehicles
on the bridge. This type of bridge has a lower cost of
building because it has no high piers and long approaches
and it also allow the road traffic when the bridge is open for
river traffic.
Movable Bridge is a bridge that rotates about hinges at its
ends and is lifted at the angle. It can be curved like Gates head
Millennium Bridge or straight like Sint-Annabrug over the
river Dender in Aalst.
MOVEABLE STEEL BRIDGE
 ADVANTAGES
◦ Steel's light weight speeds construction and permits use
of smaller-scale equipment at the construction site.
◦ In many cases, local crews can be used to install a short
span steel bridge.
◦ Steel is lighter than concrete for the same load-carrying
capacity.
◦ Steel components are made to closer tolerances, which
often translate into faster erection.
◦ Steel bridges have long lives, decreasing the need for
replacement.
 DISADVANTAGES
 Initial cost can be high.
 Very few designers have the necessary skills or experience
to build movable steel bridge.
 Skilled labor are required for a construction or movable
steel bridge.
 Steel cannot be mold in any direction you want. It can only
be used in forms in which sections originally exists.
 If steel loses its ductility property, than chances of brittle
fractures increase.

 CASE STUDY
INTRODUCTION
A moveable bridge, or movable bridge , is a bridge that
moves to allow passage for boats or barges. In American
English, moveable bridge and drawbridge are synonymous, and
the latter is the common term, but drawbridge can be limited to
the narrower, historical definition used in some other forms of
English.

• EVACUATION PROCEDURE
• HAZARDOUS GOODS IN TUNNEL
 RESULT
• Immersed tunnel can be set up in any type of soil strata
with limited foundation preparations and hence it can be
implemented in any appropriate profile.
• According to the geotechnical soil tests results, the silty
soil available is found to be suitable for the construction of
the immersed tunnel.
• Also according to the Activity planning, the construction of
the immersed tunnel can be completed in 4 years and 8
months.
• Cost saving in fuel consumption due to the construction of
this tunnel = Rs.21856 Million/year.
• The gain from the toll rate = Rs.1095 Million/year.
• Annual total benefits after the construction of the
proposed immersed tunnel = Rs.22951 Million/year.
 CONCLUSION
• The idea of connecting Alibaug and Uran through
immersed tunnel if implemented will prove to be
beneficial in decongestion of the roads in Mumbai and also
will reduce the time of travelling. In addition to this, the
added benefit of reduction in the usage of exhaustible fuel
will further boost the idea of the construction of
immersed tunnel. Also, the availability of silty sand and
shallow water depth further encourages the construction
of this immersed tunnel.
• Alibaug and Uran being under developed cities due to
their inaccessibility, the proposed tunnel if implemented
will help in the development of these places further
improving the standard of living of the people residing
there.
