| Abstract: |
Installed in Ganhyun Park, Wonju-si, South Korea, the 404 Skybridge is the longest pedestrian bridge in Korea, planned as a three-dimensional cable suspension bridge with a main span length of 380m. The location of the installation lies about 100m above from the ground level, on a slope of the mountain which presents very difficult construction condition. The three-dimensional cable suspension bridge is a challenge to construct but capable to achieve slender girders to have strong horizontal rigidity, without using separate wind resisting cables. By implementing the 3D angle of the cables much larger than the general three-dimensional suspension bridge, the horizontal rigidity of the girders enhanced, and flutter wind speed increased. At the start of the 404 Skybridge, Skywalk was constructed to provide scenery of the Ganhyun Park. |
