Abstract:
Abstract. Infrastructure in the form of bridges is very important for
Buntok Regency in Central Kalimantan where the area is swampy or
lowland area. Total wood bridge construction is 45% from total 163 of
all existing bridge types in this area those most of them are not proper
condition considering some wood materials need to be replaced. The
innovation has been developed to find the effective way how to
maintenance the wooden bridge that has been idle for long time due to
broken material on superstructure of the bridge. The floor of bridge that
constructed with previous materials of ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri)
wooden bridge replaced by composite materials with floordeck
concrete combination. The implementation of innovation on Tampa
Bridge maintenance project showed better performance in terms of
safety, comfortable and smoothness of bridge users from community
around. In terms of budget aspect, the maintenance is cumulatively
more efficient than if carrying out floor changes every year considering
no longer possible to find ulin wood anymore. On technical point of
view, with reinforced concrete can be applied to wooden bridges
selectively only on ulin wooden bridges those the substructure is still
intact and only minor damage to the spoorband and floor occurs. Bridge
maintenance procedures need to be create to keep better maintenance
for longer life time of the existing bridge that can be applied for another
wooden bridge for maintenance.
