trampled Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 http://www.boilyphoto.com/images/scenics/confederation%20bridge%20grounds.jpg'> Confederation Bridge This 8 mile long bridge connects Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick (Canada). It is the longest bridge in the world to span ice covered waters. There is ice covering straits 5 months of the year. A special design was made to accommodate this, the bridge designers developed a 52 degree conical ice shield located on the pier shaft to break up the ice. This ice shield actually lifts the ice flow up so it breaks on its own weight. Bridge Facts Design Life: 100 years Structural Materials: Reinforced, post-tensioned concrete Length: 12.9 km (8mi), crossing the Strait at its narrowest point Width: 11m (36ft) from barrier wall to barrier wall, including one lane and one emergency shoulder in each direction. Typical Elevation: 40m (130ft) off the water Typical Clearance: 28 m off the water x 220 m wide Navigation Span Elevation: 60 (200ft) m Depth of Strait: Up to 35 m (115ft) Main Bridge Footings: Gravity foundation on bedrock Main Bridge Piers: Octagonal shafts Main Bridge Girders: Precast concrete box girders ranging from 4.5 m to 14 m deep, 190m length Main Bridge Spans: 44 piers, 11,000 m total; 250 m (820ft) typical span length Main Bridge Drop-In Span: Precast concrete box girder, 60 m length http://www.boilyphoto.com/images/scenics/abby%20and%20bridge%201.jpg'> http://www.barrettmackay.com/Image%20Files/home/Confederation%20Bridge%20.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
