In view of anti-collision facilities of bridge crossing inland waterway of Shanghai,we discuss the anti-collision system and calculation method of ship collision force.Combining with the characteristics of bridge crossing inland waterway with the latest anti-collision concepts,we analyze the anti-collision scheme and facility which are adaptable to the bridge crossing inland waterway.The result shows that there are fixed or floating anti-collision facility and anti-collision pier which are suitable for the bridge crossing inland waterway. If the construction condition of the two types of anti-collision facilities is not available,small specification buffer material is always adopted to protect the bridge pier,and fender pile is also a selection in the bridges which connect the Huangpu River with tributary.
