BRIDGE OVER THE GREAT BELT (DENMARK)

PONTS SUR LE GRAND BELT (DANEMARK)

The author, who took part in the work of the Technical Committee investigating the projected crossing of the 12 km Great-Belt stretch, describes the various alternatives and gives details of the preliminary project selected: a combined rail/road bridge, made up of two sections using the islet of SPROGOE as an intermediate support point and with its main structure of the braced type. There is a draught of 68 m for 500 m lanes and the bridge has been designed to withstand impact from ships. The main piers should have their foundations laid up to 60 m below sea-level.
