| Abstrait: | The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is a world record 2023 m main span suspension bridge crossing the Çanakkale Strait in Turkey to connect Europe and Asia. Detailed design has been prepared in a challenging short period of 12 months. Significant design challenges for aerodynamics, ship collision, seismic and poor soil conditions have in combination with the very tight design and construction schedule significantly impacted alignment and articulation of the bridge. To accommodate the windy location, the bridge girder is designed as a twin-box steel girder for the purpose of a wind-resistant design. The dense ship traffic including the world largest ships and a massive grow rate for the strait has governed the design of the deep water tower foundations. The bridge situation in a seismically active region has further affected significant parts of the substructure design. Seismic hazard and difficult geological site conditions impose tremendous challenges to the bridge design. Finally, the tight construction schedule has conditioned the design solutions to accommodate fast track construction. The paper summarize the engineering approach, design decisions regarding alignment and articulation, design challenges and results obtained for the detailed design of the bridge. |
