| Abstract: |
From 20th century, infrastructure in China has experienced rapid development, especially in mega cable supported bridges. COWI had the honour and opportunity to participate in some of the prestigious mega bridge/sea crossing projects, and thus gained in-depth knowledge in the bridge design following Chinese traditions. The mutual corporation on these projects between COWI and the Chinese designers as well as Chinese project owners has closed the knowledge gap of design and construction methods by Chinese tradition and Danish tradition, and also enhanced the technical development and know-how of modern bridge design. In this paper, some of the challenging issues for mega suspension bridges are presented, where the Chinese way and Danish way in addressing aerodynamic flutter stability, design of hanger system, and anchor block & foundation are described and discussed. |
