| Abstract: |
The Sandfjord bridge is a concrete box girder bridge with a 290 meter main span. The erection is done by the free cantilever method, i.e. after erection of the piers the bridge girder is cast in 5 meter segments from the piers keeping the cantilevers in balance, after which the cantilever beams are connected at centre span and the landings. During the construction stage the bridge is very sensitive to the dynamic action of the wind. This paper deals with the analytical calculations, wind tunnel tests and field measurements carried out. |
