| Abstract: |
The Orio Bridge is an innovative cable supported bridge of 180 m of main span, with 2 lateral short spans of 65 m each. The cable system is a combination of, a main central suspension cable formed by full locked coil ropes, and a system of stays to support the deck in the area closer to the towers. The cable system is located only in the center axis of the bridge in order to get a more attractive aspect, and is supported by two central masts. The design allows the construction of the main span without temporary supports, even though the cable system is anchored to the deck to avoid the transmission of the horizontal forces of the cables to the ground. |
