| Abstract: |
With a main span of 1104m, the Russkij Bridge in Vladivostok posed as a landmark for the Asia- Pacific Economic Summit held at Russkij Island in 2012. The structural protection was tailored to fit the peculiar exigencies of the structure (the world’s longest cable stayed bridge), subject to extreme seismic and weather conditions. Additionally, the construction phase brought about a further challenge due to wind-induced vibrations occurring when the bridge cantilevers were not yet connected and 25MN longitudinal force was transmitted over a bolted temporary locking system. |
