This is Skarnsundet Bridge. It crosses the strait Skarnsundet in Trondheimsfjord. The bridge was, on its completion in 1991, the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world by the length of main span. Total length is 1010 meters, longest span 530 meters. Clearence below is 45 meters.
In the construction of the bridge, starting in 1988, 19.600 km³ concrete was used and the 208 cables with a total length of 33 km weigh 1 030 tonnes. The cables have a diameter varying between 52 mm and 85 mm and can, if needed, be replaced separately. The bridge is fundamented in bedrock below the seabed under each tower. The bridge was build to withstand winds up to 48,5 m/s (century storms) and is control calculated for earthquakes.

sometimes, technology is so awesome that it makes us mere mortals nothing but specks of dust...
ReplyDeleteJøss, man lærer mye av å lese bloggen din :-).
ReplyDeleteBilde 2 og 4 syns jeg blir kule om du kutter det som er nederst. Da er det ikke lenger bilder av bru, men spennende visuelle utfordringer med heftige linjer og perspektiv!
Men det blir noe helt annet en en blogging om bru i så fall.. Du kan jo teste det på nettfoto?
For et byggverk og for noen kabler!! Her snakker vi dimensjoner ja gitt. Og bildene dine har jo blitt tatt fa en så spennende og annerledes vinkel også, tøft.
ReplyDeleteHar gjort klart min bro til i morgen jeg også. Hatt ordboka ved min side i en halv time nå, for Arne gutten har det med å kommentere min engelsk :-)
Ha en flott ukestart.
That's an incredible feat of engineering. Beautiful bridge and great photos. Thank you.

Impressive structures and even more impressive photography. You should have taken one from the top, seeing you enjoy high places! ;-)
Sometimes one remains astonished in seeing such beautiful design in a period of poor design results in architecture, fashion, furniture and other segments of industrial society...
