CIHT Hong Kong is delighted to offer this technical seminar on "Planning and Design of Sea Crossing" with Dr.-Ing Barry KW Lee, Chief Resident Engineer at AECOM and Adjunct Associate Professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
Fee:
CIHT Members & HKMU Students: Free of Charge
Non-members: HK$100 (for CPD certificate)
Have you ever thought about the logic behind the span length design for the main span of the sea crossing, e.g. Stonecutter bridge, Cross Bay Link, Izmit Bay Crossing, etc? Why the main span length for Cross Bay Link is 200m, not 150m or 300m? Span length for some bridges is governed by site constraints, while few of them are designed for record breaking. Nevertheless, engineers are required to go through some rigorous analysis based on the actual/forecast marine traffic demand data before concluding an acceptable range of span lengths. Basic concept to understand how engineers are determining the span length for the sea crossings will be introduced in this seminar.
