| Abstract: |
Galecopperbrug is a 3 span cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 180m over the canal. During strengthening of the Galecopper bridge, the design team was tasked to solve problems caused to ships radar when using the canal caused by multiple reflections of radar waves amongst the bridge beams. Alternative solutions were considered and a computer simulation was undertaken to determine a solution. Work is completed and the solution that involves fixing radar absorbing material to the bridge will be implemented with the works to strengthen the bridge. |
