| Abstract: |
The Izmit Bay Suspension Bridge will carry the new Gebze-Orhangazi-Izmir motorway across the Sea of Marmara at the Bay of Izmit in northern Turkey. The bridge construction has started in January 2013 and will be completed in early 2016. The construction of large scale suspension bridge over the sea to be completed in such a short period requires a sufficient knowledge and experience of construction of large scale marine work and large scale suspension bridge. This paper deals with the construction of the tower foundation leading up to sinking of caissons of the Izmit Bay Suspension Bridge. |
