Abstract:
|
The strait crossing between the Estonian mainland and the islands Muhu and Saaremaa represents the most important project for the nearest decades in Estonia. Department of Structural design at TUT started width active work at the project in 1990. Our activities were directed to preliminary design of the overpass as a whole and especially to the central navigable part of the bridge. The main attention was paid to theoretical investigation and hybrid structures. Both continuous and discrete nonlinear calculation models were used.
