The project consists of constructing a railroad network along with several stations located at an elevation aboveground, supported by reinforced concrete (RC) piers. A problem arises when it is not possible to cast concrete for the cantilevers on some piers located on the roads with a high frequency of traffic congestion. One solution to this problem is to replace the RC piers with hybrid piers. The hybrid piers are modifications of the RC piers in which steel frames replace the concrete for the cantilevers. The use of these hybrid piers opens up the possibility of offsite fabrication of the steel cantilevers so that the erection can still take place during off-peak hours and take less time. The use of these hybrid piers is relatively new for construction projects in Indonesia; the Palembang LRT project is the first project to have used this method. For this reason, it is important to understand this method’s design principles and effects on the construction process, especially about the connections between the steel and concrete structures. The hybrid piers are better than the RC piers, because the hybrid piers eliminate the need for concrete casting, a process that often causes obstructions to traffic flow. This method has the potential to be an alternative to pier construction for regions with high traffic volumes and high risk of traffic congestion.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Concrete castings,Connection system,Construction process,Construction projects,Design and construction,Light rail transit (LRT),Off-site fabrication,Steel reinforced concrete[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Alternative method of construction,Connection system,Hybrid piers,RC piers,Steel-reinforced concrete[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)SC.1943-5576.0000318[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
