Abstract:To guide and standardize the compilation of special design documents for anti-ship collision facilities and navigation aids of inland river bridges, and to prevent ship collision risks from the design source, the Guidelines for the Preparation of Special Design Documents for Anti-Ship Collision Facilities and Navigation Aids of Inland Bridges was compiled based on the investigation and summary of most water transport provinces in China and combined with a large number of engineering experiences.It is applicable to new, expanded and in-service bridges crossing inland river shipping routes.The results show that the guidelines standardize the design principles, protection scope, representative ship types, structure and of anti-ship collision facilities, navigation aids and safety signs, improving the quality of design texts and perfecting the standard system for bridge anti-ship collision.
