- W784316102 abstract "The 13-km Confederation Bridge, which connects Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick across the Northumberland Strait in Atlantic Canada is the winner of the 1999 George S. Richardson Medal for outstanding achievement in bridge construction. Ice, wind, progressive collapse, ship collision, and the ocean floor were all key figures in determining what kind of bridge would be erected, and the contractor and bridge designers executed several tests and formulas to come up with solutions. To help crack the ice, the bridge designers developed a 52 deg (0.91 rad) conical ice shield located on the pier shaft. Sectional tests determined the aerodynamic characteristics of the cross section, while aeroelastic tests were conducted to determine the response of the bridge to turbulent wind. Because of the test results, the reinforcement in the piers had to be increased and some of the foundation elevations were adjusted. In the event of a collapse of one pier or loss of one span, the structure was built in a way that such a collapse would not trigger the collapse of the entire bridge. Only four components--pier base, pier shaft, cantilevers, and drop-in span--were used to assemble the 43 main bridge spans of 250 m each. Precasting of these components was performed on Prince Edward Island, while the approaches, segments for the piers, and the superstructure were prefabricated on a yard on the New Brunswick side. The four main components were transported from the Prince Edward yard on a hydraulically operated sledge and carried to the site by a catamaran-type of floating crane. Instead of putting a counterweight on the other side of the cantilever to balance the weight of the drop-in, designers eliminated the counterweight by using the drop-in span as a strut. A new set of design codes was used to provide a service life of 100-plus years for the bridge." @default.
