Current Long Span Bridges This final lecture outlines some of the various LSBs currently under construction around the world (Spring 2018). Presentation at University of Surrey, May 2018 by David Collings BSc CEng FICE Making the complex simple
Halogaland Suspension Bridge
This 1145m span suspension bridge is now almost complete, with finishing expected this summer.
A 3 tower bridge with a small central tower, it is perhaps possible to judge if this is a successful rouse structurally and visually. Mersey Gateway
River Wear Bridge Another smaller bridge in Uk, with two spans less than 150m, now named The Spire, due to its single tower.
Tapan Zee This American bridge with outward leaning towers is almost complete. Again it is now possible to see the full visual implications from a distance¡­
¡­ and up close.
Panama Atlantic Bridge
A classic concrete cable stay bridge being constructed in balanced cantilever.
Another classic concrete cable stay bridge in the news for the wrong reasons. The failure report clearly blaming the design. Look at the flow of forces, if you have to change force direction ensure equilibrium at the change!
HZM Bridges As noted last year the bridges and viaducts on this project are largely complete, waiting for some of the works near Hong Kong to finish.
The architectural form of Temburong Bridge over Brunei Bay is appearing.
David Collings BSc CEng FICE Making the complex simple Current Long Span Bridges You can see the 2015, 2016 and 2017 LSB lecture slides on slide share to see the progress on many of these bridges. I will update this lecture for next year, if you are aware of an interesting LSB under construction please let me know via Linkedin.
