Sichuan China's Bridges: Xiao Yu Dong (Fish Hole) Bridge (1)

(31.185 Degrees, 103.765 Degrees) Xiao Yu Dong Bridge
Xiao Yu Dong (Fish Hole) Bridge was a four span R.C. arch bridge with long approaches built in the 1980s.  It took us a while to realize that the thrust fault was under the bridge and its offset compressed the superstructure, forcing the deck to slide over the top of the abutment.
