Topic: THE STUDY OF BEBO SYSTEM BRIDGE

Abstract: Industrialized Building System or well known as IBS is an alternative construction system that has the goods in it by different aspects in the construction of bridge or building. In addition to that, the Industrialized Building System (IBS) is a construction system that is produced using pre-fabricated components and is methodically done by using machines and other mechanical equipment in the factories. This study is done in order to the types of system in bridge construction using IBS Technology, to identify the benefits and limitations of IBS in bridge construction and to suggest ways to overcome the limitation. This study is basically to focus the usage of IBS on bridge among construction industry expert in Sabah only. This research based on literature review study, case study and interview only without involving laboratory activities. The result of this study indicates that the types of system used in Sabah is BEBO arch precast component bridging system and the length of span used is in the range of 6.5m (shortest) to 25m (longest) per span. The benefits of IBS in Sabah are fast construction, minimal waste and cost of installation whereby the limitations of IBS in Sabah is cost effective and acceptance from the construction industry expert.
