| Abstract: |
Crossing of wide fiords with floating bridges is a relevant topic in Norway. A standard long floating bridge will be greatly affected by lateral forces (such wind and waves); by designing the bridge as a floating chain, the side forces will be transformed in axial forces (easily supported by standard modular steel bridges). This new concept will allow a cost effective crossing of wide channels. |
