In the Ankeng Light Rail MRT system (ALRMS) project, the U7 box girder passes crossing the Erbads creek and needs a temporary supporting system for the construction work. In this study, three temporary shoring system options were proposed to be the construction method. The D-B Contractor, New Asia construction and Development Corporation, evaluated and selected the optimal choice, The Steel truss frame with supporting beams, to serve as the temporary supporting system. Compare the deflection of Δmax and Δactual, which are 1.609 cm and 1.59 cm, respectively. This result presented that the shoring system composed of the H912*302*18*37 supporting beams and steel truss frame had achieved outstanding performance and work to construct the U7 box girder. This paper presents how the three options are evaluated and the detailed construction processes along with the survey verification for the method.

This paper studies the accuracy of AASHTO Standard Specifications and AASHTO LRFD design specifications girder distribution factors (GDFs) equations and their applicability to integral abutment bridges (IABs). A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of the Scotch Road integral abutment bridge was developed using the finite element software ABAQUS/Cae. The bridge was subjected to vehicular live loading in single and multiple lanes in the FE model(s). The FE model was calibrated using load-displacement data obtained from field testing due to static truck loading. A comparison between the GDFs obtained from the FE models to those computed using both design codes was performed to evaluate their accuracy. A limited parametric study was conducted to evaluate crucial design parameters such as bridge deck thickness, span length, and piles lengths. The results showed that AASHTO LRFD GDFs equations are more conservative compared to those of AASHTO LFD equations in all cases. However, GDFs from the FE models compared more favorably to those calculated based on both design codes for the case single lane loading.

IRJET- Analysis and Design of a Bridge at Bhoothathankettu BarrageIRJET Journal
This document summarizes the analysis and design of a bridge at Bhoothathankettu Barrage in Kerala, India. The bridge has a total span of 211 meters divided into 10 spans of 21.1 meters each. STAAD Pro software was used to analyze the bridge. The superstructure consists of prestressed concrete girders and the substructure consists of reinforced concrete. Details of the deck slab, cantilever portion, longitudinal girders, cross girders, and bearings are provided. The prestressing losses at various stages are calculated. The results of the STAAD analysis including bending moment and shear force diagrams are presented.
As catastrophic bridge collapse accidents not only cause significant loss of property, but also have a severe social impact. Therefore, the structural health monitoring of bridges for damage detection by vibration analysis gets more attention. Reinforced concrete bridges are the most common and extended structures present in the worldwide. These structures are often characterized by Piers, Abutments, deck slabs. This paper looks on the work of modelling and analysis of bridge in STAAD.Pro software, and the specific bridge model is taken of a particular span. It is subjected to vary Young’s modulus (E) in the mid span of bridge deck slab to induce damage in order to obtain maximum bending moment, as the structural strength reduces.

This document analyzes the effect of skew on stress resultants in T-beam bridges under various Indian Road Congress (IRC) loading conditions. T-beam bridge models with spans of 14m and varying skew angles from 0-45 degrees were modeled and analyzed using CSi Bridge software. The results show that bending moment, shear force, and torsion increase with higher skew angles and heavier loadings. Specifically, IRC AA tracked loading produces 10-15% higher bending moments than IRC 70R loading. IRC AA tracked and wheeled loadings also produce significantly different stress responses, with up to 40% variation. The analysis provides guidance on the behavior of skewed T-beam bridges under IRC standard loadings.

Since 1991, thanks to economic policy liberalization, the Indian economy has entered an era in which Indian businesses can no longer disregard global markets. Prior to the 1990s, the prices of a variety of commodities, metals, and other assets were carefully regulated. Others, which were not rolled, were primarily dependant on regulated input costs. As a result, there was no uncertainty and, as a result, no price fluctuations. However, in 1991, when the process of deregulation began, the prices of most items were deregulated. It has also resulted in the exchange being partially deregulated, easing trade restrictions, lowering interest rates, and making significant advancements in foreign institutional investors' access to the capital markets, as well as establishing market-based government securities pricing, among other things. Furthermore, portfolio and securities price volatility and instability were influenced by market-determined exchange rates and interest rates. As a result, hedging strategies employing a variety of derivatives were exposed to a variety of risks. The Indian capital market will be examined in this study, with a focus on derivatives.

Solid waste comprises of Industrial Waste (IW), Hazardous Waste (HW), Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Electronic waste (E-waste), Bio-Medical Waste (BMW) which depend on their supply & characteristics. Food waste or Bio-waste composting and its role in sustainable development is explained in food waste is a growing area of concern with many costs to our community in terms of waste collection, disposal and greenhouse gases. When rotting food ends up in landfill it turns into methane, a greenhouse gas that is particularly damaging to the environment. Composting is biochemical process in which organic materials are biologically degraded, resulting in the production of organic by products and energy in the form of heat. Heat is trapped within the composting mass, leading to the phenomenon of self-heating. This overall process provide us Bio-Manure.
Crypto-Currencies: Can Investors Rely on them as Investment Avenue?Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The purpose of this study is to examine investors’ perceptions about investing in crypto-currencies. We think that investors trust in crypto-currencies is largely driven by crypto-currency comprehension, trust in government, and transaction speed. This is the first study to examine crypto-currencies from the investor’s perspective. Following that, we discover important antecedents of crypto-currency confidence. Second, we look at the government's role in crypto-currencies. The importance of this study is: first, crypto-currencies have the potential to disrupt the current economic system as the debate is all about impact of decentralization of transactions; thus, further research into how it affects investors trust is essential; and second, access to crypto-currencies. Finally, if Fin-Tech companies or banks want to enter the bitcoin industry may not attract huge advertising costs as well as marketing to soothe clients' concerns about investing in various digital currencies The research sheds light on indecisiveness in the context of marketing aspects adopted by demonstrating investors are aware about the crypto.
Awareness of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) among Student of the Catanduanes S...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The Island Province of Catanduanes is prone to all types of natural hazards that includes torrential and heavy rains, strong winds and surge, flooding and landslide or slope failures as a result of its geographical location and topography. RA 10121 mandates local DRRM bodies to “encourage community, specifically the youth, participation in disaster risk reduction and management activities, such as organizing quick response groups, particularly in identified disaster-prone areas, as well as the inclusion of disaster risk reduction and management programs as part of youth programs and projects. The study aims to determine the awareness to disaster of the student of the Catanduanes State University. The disaster-based questionnaire was prepared and distributed among 636 students selected randomly from different Colleges and Laboratory Schools in the University
The Catanduanes State University students understood some disaster-related concepts and ideas, but uncertain on issues on preparedness, adaptation, and awareness on the risks inflicted by these natural hazards. Low perception on disaster risks are evidently observed among students. The responses of the students could be based on the efficiency and impact of the integration of DRR education in the senior high school curriculum. Specifically, integration of the concepts about the hazards, hazard maps, disaster preparedness, awareness, mitigation, prevention, adaptation, and resiliency in the science curriculum possibly affect the knowledge and understanding of students on DRR. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM.
The study further recommends that teachers and instructor must also be capacitated in handling disaster as they are the prime movers in the implementation of the DRRM in education. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM. Core subjects in Earth Sciences must be reinforced with geologic hazards. Learning competencies must also be focused on hazard identification and mapping, and coping with different geologic disaster.
The 1857 war was a watershed moment in the history of the Indian subcontinent. The battle has sparked academic debate among historians and sociologists all around the world. Despite the fact that it has been more than 150 years, this battle continues to pique the interest of historians. The war's causes and events that occurred throughout the conflict, persons who backed the British and anti-British fighters, and the results and ramifications, are all aspects of this conflict. In terms of outcomes, many academics believe that the war was a failure for those who started it. It is often assumed that the Indians who battled the British in this conflict were unable to achieve their goals. Many gains accrued to Indians as a result of the conflict, but these achievements are overshadowed by the dispute over the war's failure. This research effort focuses on the war's achievements for India, and the significance of those achievements.
Haryana's Honour Killings: A Social and Legal Point of ViewDr. Amarjeet Singh
Life is unpredictably unpredictable. Nobody knows what will happen in the next minute of their lives. In this circumstance, every human being has the right and desire to conduct their lives according to their own desires. No one should be forced to live a life solely for the benefit and reputation of others. Honour killing is defined as the assassination of a person, whether male or female, who refuses to accept the family's arranged marriage or decides to move her or his marital life according to her or his wishes solely because it jeopardizes the family's honour. The family's supreme authority looks after the family's name but neglects to consider the love and affection shared among family members. I have discussed honour killing in India in my research work. This sort of murder occurs as a result of particular triggers, which are also examined in relation to the role of the law in honour killing. No one can be released free if they break the law, and in this case, it is a felony that violates various regulations designed to safeguard citizens. This crime is similar to many others, but it is distinct enough to be differentiated in the report. When the husband is of low social standing, it lowers the position and caste of the female family, prompting the male family members to murder the girl. But they forget that the girl is their kid and that while rank may be attained, a girl's life can never be replaced, and that caste is less valuable than the girl's life and love spent with them.

Modal Space Controller for Hydraulically Driven Six Degree of Freedom Paralle...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This paper presents the Modal space decoupled control for a hydraulically driven parallel mechanism has been presented. The approach is based on singular values decomposition to the properties of joint-space inverse mass matrix, and mapping of the control and feedback variables from the joint space to the decoupling modal space. The method transformed highly coupled six-input six-output dynamics into six independent single-input single-output (SISO) 1 DOF hydraulically driven mechanical systems. The novelty in this method is that the signals including control errors, control outputs and pressure feedbacks are transformed into decoupled modal space and also the proportional gains and dynamic pressure feedback are tuned in modal space. The results indicate that the conventional controller can only attenuate the resonance peaks of the lower eigenfrequencies of six rigid modes properly, and the peaking points of other relative higher eigenfrequencies are over damped, The further results show that it is very effective to design and tune the system in modal space and that the bandwidth increased substantially except surge (x) and sway (y) motions, each degree of freedom can be almost tuned independently and their bandwidths can be increased near to the undamped eigenfrequencies.

Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

ABSTRACT
In the Ankeng Light Rail MRT system (ALRMS)
project, the U7 box girder passes crossing the Erbads creek
and needs a temporary supporting system for the
construction work. In this study, three temporary shoring
system options were proposed to be the construction method.
The D-B Contractor, New Asia construction and
Development Corporation, evaluated and selected the optimal
choice, The Steel truss frame with supporting beams, to serve
as the temporary supporting system. Compare the deflection
of Δmax and Δactual, which are 1.609 cm and 1.59 cm,
respectively. This result presented that the shoring system
composed of the H912*302*18*37 supporting beams and steel
truss frame had achieved outstanding performance and work
to construct the U7 box girder. This paper presents how the
three options are evaluated and the detailed construction
processes along with the survey verification for the method.

I. INTRODUCTION
The global warming condition has caused some
extreme impact on the environment and human life.
Recently, in the world, the “sustainability” issues for the
lifecycle of infrastructures are more and more concerned
and discussed during the development of the projects.
Specifically, “green” civil projects are being emphasized
through designs and constructions that support long-term
sustainability. In Taiwan and globally, the “green
building” assessment systems had been well established
and applied for the development of building projects. It is
a regulation to use the EEWH assessment system for
public building projects [1-8]. However, the sustainability
assessment system for green civil infrastructure (SASGCI)
had been only a few research focused on this critical issue
[9]. For sustainability development, the four stages of the
whole lifecycle, including design, construction, operation,
and demolition, of an infrastructure project should be taken
into consideration [9]. In this paper, the authors would
like to share the experience on the determination of the
temporary shoring system for the cast-in-place box girder
of a cross-creek bridge of the Ankeng Light Rail MRT
system (ALRMS) in New Taipei City
The ALRMS is a 7.5 km length project, includes
nine stations. It contains four grounded stations, and five
elevated stations, respectively [10,11]. The client of the
ALRMS is the Department of Rapid Transit Systems
(DRTS), New Taipei City. The main D-B Contractor is
the New Asia Construction and Development Corporation
(NACDC). The project construction management (PCM)
and the site supervising are performed by the Sino-Tech
Consultant Company (STCC) and MAA Group,
respectively. Figure 1 shows the route map of the
ALRMS.

There are three major types of bridges that are
designed in the ALRMS project, which are listed as
follows:

Temporarily supported cast-in-place bridges by
shoring system.
Free Cantilever Method (FCM) bridges by the
movable truss system.
Steel trusses or steel boxes bridges [11].
The authors focus on one of the temporarily supported
cast-in-place bridges, numbered as U7 unit, which needs to
cross the existing creek named Erbads Creek. This Erbads
Creek width is approximately 12m in width and 1m in
depth. The temporary shoring system for the U7 unit is
quite different from the other cast-in-place bridges due to
the water flow needing to be maintained during the
bridge's construction. Some proposed options, including
the consideration of sustainability issues, were discussed
during the construction stage. The detailed determination
processes are presented in the following sections.
In this paper, the authors focus on the detailed
problem description, optional method discussion, and
solution determination. Figure 2 shows the research
framework for this study.
Figure 2: The research framework for this study
II. PROBLEM FACED IN THIS STUDY
One of the cast-in-place bridge between the K1
and K2 stations, which includes six units of superstructure
box girders (U6 to U11), two abutments (A4-1 and A4-2),
and five piers (P4-1to P4-5). The Erbads creek flow
through the U7 unit, which is located between the P4-1 and
P4-2 piers, with a width of 12m and depth of 3m. In the
storm season, the width could be increased up to 20m, and
the depth increased up to 2~3m. It is quite a challenge to
the construction of a cast-in-place bridge. Figure 3 shows
the plan and vertical views of the zones nearby the U7 unit.
Figure 3: The U7 unit drawings: (a) plan view and (b)
vertical view
To maintain the Erbads creek flow, it is necessary
to install a reliable and safe shoring system for the
construction of the U7 box girder. A couple of temporary
shoring options were taken into considered and discussed
when the engineers determine the methods. Not only the
safety, working duration, cost, materials, and installation
difficulty, of the shoring system were considered for
determination; the environmental and ecology issue was
also the essential factors for engineers’ consideration.
III. CONSTRUCTION OPTIONSS
DISCUSSION
There are three types of temporary shoring
options, which are considered and discussed in this study.
The discussion includes all possible influence factors for
the U7unit construction.
3.1 Option 1: Steel Truss Frame with the RCPs
This option contains some soil filling work in the
creek reservation zone. Figure 4 shows the shoring system
for this option. In this option, the center steel truss frame
is supported by the soil filling. Several Reinforced
Concrete Pipes (RCP) must be embedded into the filled
soil to maintain the creek water flow, as shown in Figure 4.
The total cross-section of the RCPs must be sufficient for
the peak water flow. The strength of the RCPs might not
be able to resist the heavy loads, which are transferred
from the superstructure. Thus, a protection RC slab should
be placed to be the bearing of the steel truss frame.
Furthermore, the compaction for the filled soil should be
very compacted

Figure 4: The shoring system of steel truss frame with the
RCPs
As shown in Figure 4, this option includes the
following processes:
a. Temporary diversion of the creek water flow of
the Erbads creek.
b. Smoothening work for the river bed and needed
aggregate pavement.
c. RCPs installation and connection. The RCP
diameter is calculated to be 1.5m, and the total
length needed approximately to be 90 m.
d. Soil filling and compaction. It is calculated to be
900 m3
.
e. Protection RC slab placement with a thickness of
30 cm.
f. Guidance of the water flow to the RCPs.
g. Installation of the steel truss frame and U7 box
girderr construction.
h. Removal of steel truss frame, RCPs, and the filled
soil.
In this option, the water flow route of Erbads creek is
needed to be temporarily changed. It might cause some
environmental and ecological impact on the creek. Also,
the strength of the RCPs should be special care due to the
heavy load of the steel truss frame transferred from the U7
box girder.
Figure 5 shows the typical site installation of RCPs.
Figure 5: The typical site installation of RCPs
3.2 Option 2: Steel Truss Frame with Supporting Beams
To prevent the Erbads creek impact as mentioned
in the previous option, this option uses temporary
supporting beams instead of RCPs and soil filling. Figure
6 shows the assembly of option 2.
Figure 6: The shoring system of steel truss frame with
supporting beams
There is an existing steel access platform located
neighborly to the Erbads creek. It is a functional device
for the shoring system. The following working processes
are included in this option:
a. Concrete blocks stacking with the
H400*400*13*21 steel beams installation.
b. Erection of H912*302*18*37 supporting beams
m. A total of four beams needs to be installed
with a length of 14 m.
c. Installation of the steel truss frame and U7 box
girder construction.
d. Removal of steel truss frame and the supporting
beams.
In this option, the water flow of Erbads creek could be
maintained and kept in the original water reservation zone.
Figure 7 shows the typical site installation of the steel truss
frame.

3.3 Option 3: Steel Truss Frame with Advancing Shoring
System
The features of option 3 are similar to option 2.
There is no construction work in the creek reservation zone.
Figure 8 shows the assembly of option 3.
Figure 8: The shoring system of steel truss frame with
advancing shoring system
Instead of the center parts of the steel truss frame
and the supporting beams, this option uses the advancing
shoring system. to be the prime scaffolding system for the
construction of the U7 box girder. The main work
includes:
a. Installation of the steel truss frame at the location
of the piers No. P4-1 and P4-2.
b. Erection of advancing shoring truss system.
c. Construction of U7 box girder.
d. Removal of the dvancing shoring truss system.
The Erbads creek water flow will also be not influenced
during the construction of this option. But since the
dvancing shoring truss system is quite a heavy-duty advice
for superstructure construction, the duration of the system
erection will be much longer, and the cost will be
significantly increased. Figure 9 shows the typical site
assembly of the advancing shoring system

shoring system
IV. DETERMINATION AND
SELECTION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
METHOD
For evaluation and determination on the above
stated three options, the most critical issues are compared
and discussed, as shown in table 1. In Table 1, each
evaluation is marked as 1 to 5 points. Higher points
represent high performance for evaluation. The total
points obtained by the summation of each evaluation item
and listed in the “Summarization” row of Table 1. The
highest calculation result is the final determination for the
selection of structure type for the SDPs design and
construction.

The results are shown in Table 1 that indicates
option 2: the shoring system of steel truss frame with
supporting beams, which is evaluated to be43 points, is the
highest score in the comparison. In other words, option 2
is the most reliable, sustainable, and environmentally
friendly selection for the construction of the U7 box girder.
The construction procedures are quite simple and
much less than option1 and option 3, which are mentioned
above. The benefits of option 2 are summarized as follows
1. Reliability and safety on shoring strength
The H912*302*18*37 supporting beams provide
high strength for the loads transferred from the U7 box
girder.

2. Economic Benefit
It is more economical in terms of both material
and labor in comparison with other alternatives. It also
presents a lower cost than the alternatives.
3. Ecological and Environmental-Friendly
The steel beams achieve the recyclable feature.
The prevention of soil filling in the water reservation zone
avoids any impact on the Erbads creek.
4. Shortening the Duration
The minimized erection duration for the steel
beams leads to the shortest duration for the U7 box girder
construction.
5. Carbon Emission Reduction
The minimizing of equipment operation hours
and shortening of construction duration present the carbon
emission reduction efficiency. Table 2 shown the total
reduction of the carbon emission compares to the other
options. As shown in Table 2, this option leads to a 23.5
tons carbon emission reduction.

V. CONSTRUCTION AND LOADING
CALAULATION
After a detailed evaluation and comparison of the
proposed three construction options for the U7 box girder,
option 2: the shoring system of steel truss frame with
supporting beams, was selected to serve as the most
sustainable method. The NACDC engineers established
the working plan [12, 13] to be the construction guidance
of the U7 box girder's shoring system. The installation of
this shoring system follows the working plan, with the
supervision and inspection of the corresponding author,
Dr. Liu. Figures 10 and 11 show the shoring system's site
photos and the inspection of the supporting beams by the
corresponding author with the client engineers.

Furthermore, the deflection of the steel supporting
beams is one of the critical factors to influence the value of
camber for the U7 box girder. Thus, the engineers
carefully calculated the maximum deflection of the steel
supporting beams well to control the U7’s camber value
[14, 15]
The H912*302*18*37 steel supporting beams are
the critical factor of success for this shoring system.
Figure 12 shows the basic physical parameters of the
H912*302*18*37 steel supporting beam.
Figure 12: The basic physical parameters of
H912*302*18*37 steel supporting beam
In this study, the maximum superstructure loads
transferred from the steel truss frame is P = 59.2 tons. The
M could be calculated by adopting the equation (b):
M = P*L/4 + W*L2
/8 ………………………..(a)
Where:
M: The maximum bending moment occurred in
the beam loading location.
P = 59.2 tons = 59,200 kg.l14, 15]
L = 12.5 m.
W = 293.8 kg/m = 2.94 kg/cm. [14, 15]
The maximum center bending stress of the steel
supporting beams is calculated by adopting the following
equation (a):
σmax = M*y / Ix …………………..…………. (b)
Where:
σ max: The maximum stress occurred in the
member edge of the beam loading location.
M: The maximum bending moment occurred in
the beam loading location.
y: Distance between Neutral axis and member
edge, it is 45.6 cm for H912*302*18*37
(refer to Figure 12)
Ix: the moment of inertia, it is 516,281 cm4
for
H912*302*18*37 (refer to Figure 12)
By adopting equations (a) and (b), the maximum
σand M is calculated as follows:
Mmax = 17,036,992 kg-cm
σmax = 1,505 kg/cm2
The maximum stress of the member edge is 1,505
kg/cm2
, which is less than the allowable stress of 1,512
kg/cm2
of ASTM A36 carbon steel, represents a safe result
of the H912*302*18*37 supporting beam on the bending
stress caused by the superstructure loads.
For adequate control of the girder camber value,
the deflection of the is also calculated by adopting the
equation (c):
Δmax = P*L3
/(48*E*Ix) +5*W*L4
/(384*E*Ix)..(c)
Where:
Δmax: The maximum deflection occurred in the
beam loading location.
P = 59.2 tons = 59,200 kg.l14, 15]
L = 12.5 m.
W = 293.8 kg/m = 2.94 kg/cm. [14, 15]
E = Young's modulus, it is 2.1*106
kg/cm2 for
ASTM A36 steel material.
Ix: the moment of inertia, it is 516,281 cm4
for
H912*302*18*37 (refer to Figure 12)
After the calculation by using the equation (c), it
is obtained the results ofΔmax as follows:
Δmax = 1.609 cm
In this study, the electrical level equipment is
used to verify the actual deflection of the supporting beams
after the concrete placement of the U7 box girder. The
surveying result for the Δactual is as follows:
Δactual = 1.59 cm
To compare the actual deflection to the calculated
results, the shoring system composed of the
H912*302*18*37 supporting beams and steel truss frame
had achieved outstanding performance and work for the
construction of U7 box girder.
VI. CONCLUSION
In the Ankeng Light Rail MRT system (ALRMS)
project, the U7 box girder passes crossing the Erbads creek
and needs a temporary supporting system for the
construction work. The D-B Contractor, New Asia
construction and Development Corporation, evaluated and
selected the optimal option, The Steel truss frame with
supporting beams, to serve as the temporary supporting
system. Compare the deflection of Δmax and Δactual, which
are 1.609 cm and 1.59 cm, respectively. This result
presented that the shoring system composed of the
H912*302*18*37 supporting beams and steel truss frame
had achieved outstanding performance and work to
construct the U7 box girder. Not only the U7 box girder
had been successfully and safely constructed, but also the
Ecological and environmental issues are also been
protected in this study. The authors conclude the Steel
truss frame with supporting beams had performed a
sustainable solution for the Shoring Method of Cross-
