| Abstract: |
The New Little Belt Bridge, designed by the consulting engineers Christian Ostenfeld and Wriborg Jønson, was to be Denmark's first suspension bridge. The construction of this Danish piece of engineering history took place between 1965 and 1970 and could only succeed with the help of tests on physical models. Most of the physical models have disappeared, only the three-dimensional dynamic model of the bridge has survived. This paper looks at the question which role the surviving and other models played in the planning process. The model still existing is a store of knowledge of engineering practice and shall be recorded and evaluated as one of the last witnesses of model statics. Therefore, the authors will create a digital twin of the model to examine aspects like boundary conditions, structural parameters of all bridge components and the well-documented research results. |
