Transportation Safety and Impact Analysis

As a part of an extensive highway development program in Hungary a new Danube bridge is under construction in Dunaujvaros, about 70 km south of Budapest. The 1676.8 m bridge will be completed in the autumn of 2006. The main part of the bridge is a basket handle type tied arch bridge with a span of 307.8 m. The geometrical size, structural solutions and erection method of the bridge required preliminary research and advanced design methodology. This paper gives a general outline of the bridge construction and emphasizes some of the design and research aspects of the arch bridge. (A)
