| Abstract: | The world’s first swing and floating bridge is under construction in the Port of Osaka. It will be completed in the year 2000 to connect two reclaimed islands. The bridge rests on two hollow steel pontoons and is supported horizontally by rubber fenders and dolphins. Many important engineering issues such as the dynamic response to the wave, wind, earthquake and vehicle loads are investigated herein. The bridge can be regarded as a high-tech bridge on the advanced technology opening vistas onto 21st century. |
