| Abstract: |
The construction of a new 2.4km long bridge, crossing the sea strait between the Croatian Mainland and the Pelješac Peninsula to provide the fixed road link between the whole of Croatia, has just begun. The bridge location is in a highly seismic zone with the design ground acceleration of 0.41g and on extremely bad soil. Extensive off-shore site investigations were carried out, including continuous shear wave survey and geotechnical explorations from a specially equipped drill ship, to obtain soil parameters for the design of bridge foundations. A site-specific seismic study was undertaken based on the seismic source zone characterization and attenuation relationships for the south of Croatia. The four lane road bridge consists of two approach bridges and the main cable stayed bridge with continuous steel trapezoidal box superstructure. |
