Some of the main challenges faced during the design stage of the Messina Strait Bridge are presented in this work. The first part of the paper is devoted to the description of the problems related to the overall organization of the work. The second part is related to the technical aspects, focusing the attention on the wind induced effects and on the train runnability. Wind structure interaction and train runnability represent the technical aspects conditioning the design choices of the whole work. The experience gained during the studies that lead to the definition of the technical specification for the construction tender will be summarised in this paper giving an overview to the methodologies adopted and the more restrictive requirements. A major details on the specific problem is demanded to the proposed references. |
