F. M. Zain2 and Maslina Jamil1 1Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, National University of Malaysia (UKM), Malaysia. 2Deputy Dean, Faculty of Engineering, National University of Malaysia (UKM), Malaysia. Accepted 27 June, 2011 A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacle such as a body of water, city, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Bridges are a unique offshoot of architecture and possess their own associated terms, components and styles. This paper presents the second part of Japanese bridges by investigating architectural aspects of its design. Limited usable land in heavily populated areas of Japan has often necessitated the design of unique bridge approaches. One of such design is the spiral viaduct bridge approach. When this design is used, care is taken to make the structures aesthetically appealing. An important reason for the bridge construction will lead into a critical study of bridge aesthetics and structural design. According to the configuration of frameworks, bridges may be described as arched, girdered and cable stayed or suspension. Refereeing to Japanese bridges, those most frequently provided cable stayed in the construction of bridges are important factor in architecture and bridges aesthetic. This paper presents a brief history of bridge design in Japan, and then discusses the influence of technical factors on Japan bridges design.

The completion of this bridge was in 1673, spanning the Nishiki river in a series of five wooden arches. The second, third and fourth bridges are 35.10m in span, while the first and fifth bridges are 34.80m in span, and total length is 193.33m, 4.60m in width. More than 20,000 parts combined construct this bridge. Repairs of the wooden members and reconstruction of the whole bridge take place every few decades. In Japan, the wooden arch bridge is like no other Kintai Bridge. This bridge is rare in the world. So, now, for the registration of World Heritage is promoting a variety of surveys. In this study, we focus on carpentry techniques for such an unusual bridge. For example, the features of the carpentry techniques applied in Kintai Bridge, the problems when passing on carpentry techniques, and for future carpenters, how to communicate carpentry techniques. Present Kintai Bridge also maintains a similar structure when it was built.
