Figure 9.8. Coal Creek, tributary of Powder River, Wyoming (Example 7).
The location for Example 8 is near the Dyer and Lauderdale County line in western
Tennessee (Figure 9.9a). Dual bridges were built in 1963, with a 16 m (52.5 ft) main span
supported by wall-type piers in the main channel, and thirty 8 m (26 ft) approach spans
supported by concrete pile bents. In 1975, both bridges over the main channel were rebuilt,
with a main span of 22.5 m (73.8 ft) supported by hammerhead piers. Spill-through
abutments, set back from the main channel, were protected with sacked concrete in 1963
and have remained stable.
