| Abstract: |
This project is a feasibility study on a new bridge concept which is being investigated for crossing the 5 km wide Bjørnafjord on the west coast of Norway. The bridge concept consists of a 3-span suspension bridge, supported by two tension leg moored floaters midfjord and two bottom-fixed traditional concrete pylons near shore. The 3 main spans of the bridge have a length of 1385 m. The water depth is 550 m at one floater and 450 m at the other. Time domain analyses with coupled wind and wave loading have been performed in order to assess the bridge response due to environmental loading. The suspension bridge is designed and analysed using structural bridge software RM Bridge. New functionality for including hydrodynamic properties has been implemented in RM Bridge as part of the project. |
